No don’t stop. This is the kind of nerd shit I’ve missed!

It’s a pretty fun word to yell. Kinda like fuck. Shit. removed (mods apparently won’t let you say betch. Also TIL they can change what you wrote, as if that isn’t censorship). Damn. Pretty much all of the one syllable curse words can be screamed at maximum volume, which I really enjoy

What are the alternatives? I’ll happily subscribe. Reddit is dying a slow death, and I haven’t found a new place to get metal suggestions or news

Give in. Come to the dark side

China needs buyers. If the US stopped buying from China, it would be the same situation in China. Their economies are so intertwined that a war between them, even just financially, would ruin both

And as that currency falls to the dollar because the issuer does not and cannot pay it’s debts? And as the nations of the world depend on western weapons and must pay for them in dollars? You’ve actually made my points really clearly without making a point yourself.

Proud of you!

The US pays it’s bills. China defaulting devalues it’s currency, making payment necessary in dollars. The US has a hard limit on how much yuan it will exchange for dollars to prevent a run on the currency. China cannot get enough dollars to pay the bill, while the US is the one country in the world to which China can’t just say “lol no.” Assets will be forfeit or one sided deals favoring the US will come out of this. The devaluation of the primary currency of a major trade partner means their goods cost less and their interest increases

I’ll wait while you source your info, since I sourced mine. You can respond to: fighting the US, China’s financial position in the world and their international debt, or just how you believe China can protect assets on another continent. Go ahead.

It’s nice you think I’m American. Throw me some more emojis to try to make your points really stick.

OoOO you’re so edgy! Now watch as the US continues to regionally encircle China via each of their neighbors. They’re already moving tech and manufacturing next door to India. Japan and S Korea are building their militaries again in response to continued threats by China.

Wasn’t your original argument about how much money and power China has? This makes their bid to become the international business currency look like the economy of Greece. What are they going to do about all of their seized assets across the globe? FIGHT THE US?

You pay up, or you lose your investments. That’s how money works. Man, you’re bad at this!

I guess you missed the news story about China defaulting on $1 trillion in US debt?

I wish there was a simple “X” button to hide posts, like RIF had. I know you can do it via Lemmy, but it doesn’t seem to work in Liftoff until hours later. Maybe I’m doing it wrong because I’m new, but I’ve even gone to the browser side and I’m still seeing the same stuff 5 hours later.

Overall, a very smooth experience. If Jerboa and Liftoff combined into one app, I think we’d have it all.

Someone else said it, but I agree:

if alcohol were discovered today, it would 100% be illegal in no time

I downvoted that post that was an advertisement for crypto

Some variant of what’s it?

Wouldn’t the correction be sufficient? Other users could read it and decide to downvote

I like this idea. Make the karma irrelevant so we don’t get those awful bots or the tit-for-tat arguments
