One of those is not like the others. I have as much sympathy for the billionaire who made bank doing insider trading while creating the conditions for fascism to fester getting beaten with a hammer by a fascist as the fascist who got a new breathing hole while trying to blame school shootings on trans people and black people.
Thanks. I hope you don’t end up following the path of Tunesia and Egypt. I remember them being so hopeful when the government was deposed, but somehow they just ended up with another puppet government.
Does anyone who follows Nepali politics know if this is going to turn into a color revolution? Are western powers successfully using this as a pretense to get a right-wing government in?
I think we both know this was your fault for putting the bowl like that.
Batteries are heavy, you’re looking at .5-1 tons of Li-ion batteries. A number of companies are doing battery swap though it doesn’t seem to be catching on.
If mass production of solid cell batteries works, that could be lowered to 5 40 lb batteries.
I want to like chinese EVs so much, but they put in so many novelties that look like points of failure in 10 years
I just want the electric equivalent of like a miata; reasonably cheap, fun to drive, and trivial to maintain for decades.
Saving the planet by selling cars that cost >1.5 median yearly income, pretax was always a joke.
Who makes the batteries for all the chinese escooters?
I don’t know the statistics whether they’re particularly dangerous and given the numbers I see, they’re probably reasonably safe, but the videos they play on the shenzhen subway to impress the importance of not bringing an EV onto a crowded elevator or charge it in your home gives the impression that they could kill you at any moment.
Yes, the model common to the Nordic, Vietnam, Cuba, etc.
Not criminalizing solicitation or brothels increases the number of prostitutes who end up working under coercive conditions.
See, its true because there were 2 liberal candidates and they were both pro genocide.
Weirdly they are more progressive when it comes to prostitution; prostitution isnt illegal, but soliciting it is.
Applying nuance and researching more context instead of jerking off while grunting “china bad authoritarianism” isnt defending or excusing. You’re just annoyed they dont join your circlejerk.
Correct. But at the same time, once you understand your speech is limited by your reach, which is determined by how big of a megaphone the capitalists will let you have, it becomes more murky. You can say whatever you want in America, and if the government doesnt like it, you will be silenced and ignored. The same applies in China, but there is a greater record of the government actually listening, though often to the worst groups, such as nimbys protesting the expansion of the Shangai maglev and assholes protesting even limited lockdowns in the city with the most covid that keeps infecting the rest of the country.
I cant speak about all of China, but of the 6 cities Ive been to, each had far more accessible child-care-related facilities than the US, from schools within walking distance of tower blocks to more parks and infrastructure/personnel to help kids get there without crossing busy roads, to massive libraries with play places, movie theaters, family restaurants, to tiny amusement parks.
To be clear, writing and posting erotica isn’t illegal, its profiting off it that was illegal, which is still fucked, but less of a free speech issue.
No, and there weren’t in Ukraine, but the US has spent half a century and billions of dollars to ensure every last person on that island is ready to be sacrificed when the time comes.
Under Britain, Hong Kong was a literal bourgeois democracy. Like not as in “the capitalists are really in control”, but “only 18 of the 59 seats weren’t appointed by major companies, representatives of the crown, or the governor”. Hong Kong has only known anything remotely close to democracy under China.
The media told them Hillary is the most qualified candidate in history only Biden can beat Trump, because he appeals to moderates, where things like free healthcare and not locking immigrants in cages only appeals to far left loonies.
The average American wants these things, its just we cant risk the Republicans winning so we have to run on the republican platform from 4 years ago.
Austria had already been annexed by Germany when WWII started
When you’re paying taxes on multiple 10s of million in income a year, for decades, its not a huge leap to assume you’re certainly in the 100 millions, and quite possibly in the billions.
