which store accepts bugs, and what kind of bugs are we talking about?

it’s a very easy life when you can just discard every opposing view as a bot

this is absolutely bullshit, like a quarter of drivers in finland don’t respect the zebra crossings and everyone except for suicidal idiots check their surroundings before crossing the street

you’ll get hurt sooner or later if you don’t check if a car is coming

more on my other comment cus this is the second time this person has repeated this dumb claim

lmao nobody?

i look before crossing the road and i sometimes still get almost ran over by idiots. you have to look for cars or you’ll get hurt, so most people do.

we must not be living in the same finland or you live in the middle of nowhere with no cars, or you don’t notice people checking their surroundings cus you’re on your phone

retro handhelds.

u can start with getting an R36S for like 40 bucks + a 20 dollar sd card from a reputable brand, just make sure to consult the handhelds wiki for trusted sellers so you won’t get a clone (almost all of the R36S devices sold are clones that have dogshit hardware and often don’t work with a custom OS) and know how to install the OS on new card

it can run nes, snes, all the gameboys, sega genesis, even some ps1, psp and pc ported games. you’ll have to get roms to play the games though but it’s up to you how you’re going to go about that

and i thought it was just a transphobic joke…

i had one of those bad boys insanely infected and the post-removal (surgery) pain was easily the worst i’ve ever experienced, and i’ve had my collarbone split in half from falling off a bicycle

suggesting someone to drink another soft drink is LITERALLY maniacal attacks

so true bestie

that makes sense. i kind of have the same viewpoint as a european, but i think it would be hard to get the average joe to move over if they’re similar in data collection policies.

i don’t know what the average viewpoint is but what i hear often is that people here often think of china and usa as similar “devils” (note: i don’t agree with this, i think china is a lot better). people are like “these massive countries are the same shit in a different package. america, china, both bad”.

so with that said, i think a lot of people would have issues moving over because they’re already used to youtube and everyone’s there anyway.

i was thinking they might have some knowledge of even more intense data collection policies than google, but that might be giving them too much the benefit of the doubt

i saw this on reddit.world earlier and some people said this company is even worse than google

is that true?

made what case? do i really have to specifically state that i don’t get paid for random comments on an irrelevant platform?

do you actually think governments would hire people to debate on platforms pretty much nobody is using, when they can just deploy a shit ton of llm bots on reddit (which they do btw). like this idea is incredibly stupid.

now that i’ve addressed what you wanted, respond to my points, please.

there’s no such thing as a nation of taiwan, or the republic of china, in the eyes of the international law. that’s what matters.

your “democratic nation” doesn’t exist in the eyes of almost the entire world.

the only difference between taiwan and china is that china is a communist country and the government in taiwan is a capitalist vassal state of the united states. the culture is the same, the language is the same, the history is the same (except for after 1949 when kuomintang started ruling taiwan under a dictatorship under martial law, which was later followed by liberal democracy as late as 1987

the only reason people want taiwan to be a separate country is because it’s pro-western and capitalist. there’s no real logical argument to be had for its independence. it’s just people being scared of big scary china and want it to be balkanized as much as possible to not threaten the western hegemony. the independence movement makes as much sense as like idk, a zhejiang independence movement (if the region was ruled by capitalists).

only on mobile

sure thing. what pejorative will u come up with next to distract from the fact that you can’t address what i’m saying?

take off the chainmail

is it fine if i respond with a terrible joke?

or OBAMNA

another great response when you aren’t able to address what’s being said

this is a great response when you aren’t able to address what’s being said, same with the other guy
