And what are we doing about the others?

Yes but one is treated differently

Right? But we’ve been convinced the Chinese government spying on us through Huawei is a problem.

“I’m getting my head bashed in by jackboots!”

“Well if it was Trump they’d be using baseball bats. If you vote Biden in, we’ll use runners next time”

get parents to actually be parents and teach their kids about the pitfalls of social media

Also not possible

Are we going to completely ignore the absolute insanity of arresting someone for cheating on an exam.

You’d get killed on the interstate on one of those,

You guys in Illinois are crazy though. I learned very quickly how much that 55 MPH limit is a guideline and not a hard limit.

Speed restrictions.

Kei trucks were designed for use in dense Japanese cities, which is why they also work in European cities. They are nimble but have a low top speed. You’re not going 70 mph around a street corner for instance.

It would work in places like NYC for the same reasons, but remember that most of the USA is suburban or rural. You need vehicles that are capable of going fast if you’re going to get on a highway.

A possible workaround is to have a separate class for these, like mopeds or scooters, which are road legal but are not highway legal.

You mean we’re expected to know that Neapolitan is in reference to Naples (despite the ice cream not being from there) and doesn’t relate to Napoleon at all?

It’s a shockingly capitalist move tbh.

China in its current form is fairly capitalist - they are socialist in name only. This isn’t shocking if you remember that.

China flooding the market with solar panels, driving costs down is a good thing.

Thread is about criticizing China. Yet living life as a hypocrite.

Further replies = flailing

Flail away.

Oh get off your high horse.

We criticize the Chinese government for spying on its citizens. We claim it’s undemocratic to do so. Yet we do the same thing. This is not whataboutism, it’s textbook hypocrisy.

Meanwhile in a ”free” country:

Edit: apparently people are confused by whataboutism and hypocrisy.

It’s not that it’s unsafe to drive in Detroit due to crime, it’s just that the automotive industry lobbied hard to make the country car friendly, and that city faced the worst of it.

Yes, but then the more people can afford to buy EVs. Under the current system you need to be well off to buy one, vs an ICE.

Something something free market

Evangelical Christians support a Jewish state in Israel because they believe that once Jews return to Israel will herald the Armageddon, and will eventually see the return of Jesus Christ.

People need to know about the comparative effects of being exposed to 1 x-ray vs being exposed to hundreds.
