I got a $50 GameStop gift card in 2015 as part of some hackathon I went to— which was cool since as a kid didn’t have a credit card or anything; and bought the steam controller with it, would play CS:GO with it between class. Still my favorite controller and one of the only ones that lets you change the turn on sound too.
Well not in the melting pot way— but the you’re Han Chinese now way
I get that however Taiwan the island wasn’t even part of China at the time that the ROC retreated/invaded it. So it would be sorta like Texas fleeing to Mexico then the US wanting to invade Mexico “to make the US into one country again”.
It would cripple it now but TSMC has started building Fabs in North America— but it would certainly cripple its output in the short term— then again, the U.S governments current incompetence not withstanding, you would think that if that ever happened the U.S would be able to emergency build Fabs within a few (2-4?) years if necessary.
Huh I guess I might have been weong— Taiwan technically does claim the mainland? But also not its governance?
“The 1991 constitutional amendments and the 1992 Cross-Strait Relations Act marked a pivotal shift, as the ROC ceased actively claiming governance over the mainland, stopped treating the PRC as a rebellious group, and started treating it in practise, as an equal political entity effectively governing mainland China from ROC’s perspective, though the ROC constitution still technically includes the mainland as ROC territory.”
Alistar all the way
What is a blender bottle? but sounds cool
The problem with this is that if presumably the government had such power it wouldn’t just be used to silence hateful voices but also those who proclaim liberty and tolerance. The pendulum can only be given so much power when it swings both ways.
Maybe Vader someday but now he’s just a small fry
Concentrated frozen orange juice for the win
Successful protests have clear policy objectives; also work from home and the lack of large factories that can be shut down by walk outs means that the collective bargaining is slightly weaker in places like USA.
Only if you didn’t grow up with it. Also it’s just Hershey (and derivative brands, which is many)
Ok awesome will do yeah I’ll try to walk them through my decision making as much as just state what I did, and be curious about it
You shower every day? Would turn my skin to paper lol
I feel you— but also what does this declaration of hate garner us? Is it anything beyond the base tribalistic fervor: “we are strong fear us”. It makes sense if we were in person— but I fear this is how we create silos.
If there are conservatives here, and we continually assault them directly then perhaps they’ll leave— and while personally I may feel that would make the discourse more favorable, they do not disappear; they leave and find a more homogeneous pasture. We shouldn’t isolate ourselves lest we contribute to make debate a toxic no man’s land.
Zombies because of the premise that I’m one of the survivors; could find a nice isolated island live a decent off grid lifestyle. If I have time to prepare can even bring niceties like a bunch of raspberry pi’s and hardware and just chill out farming and playing games, developing software, writing, etc. Try to restart civilization.
People make connections with objects, same reason why people start hating certain art pieces when they’re told they were made by hitler. It’s perfectly normal— also good for the environment.
Huh didn’t know it was an acronym
Depends on how much grease you have— always stored bacon grease in glass jars to use later for greasing pans and given bacony flavor. Secondly, grease pours easily and is liquid when hot, but because it’s hot you can’t pour it into the trash, or wipe it clean with paper towels as mentioned. You have to let it cool which means it becomes more of a mess.
