0. Paper cheques was a close one, but I actually paid a house once with a cheque. And the local video rental wasn’t called Blockbusters, obviously.

If cars are better than horses, why do horses still exist? Checkmate evolutionist

Being a real christian is about to become cool, I guess?

Those are war corgis.

I’m a pen/pencil freak who’s spent an amazing amount of money on them, and I’d choose 2.

Yeah, the last 6 months has really shown what Libertarians are made of. Fucking disgusting hypocrites.

Yeah I browsed some more and this site is indeed quite shit.

First time I heard about it. I’m a bit conflicted about what I should think about this. The first two things in there that I noticed were a comprehensive handling of Musk: https://kiwifarms.st/threads/elon-reeve-musk.134949/ and Andrew Tate: https://kiwifarms.st/threads/andrew-tate-top-g-cobratate.127428/

Are they sort of a southparkian “fuck everyone” kind of forum?

I’m not encrypting my stuff because of people who can legally punch me in the face if I don’t comply. I’m encrypting them against some dude who steals my backpack when I’m commuting.

I’m not saying that all authorities are great but if your biggest risk is your local authorities, you need to change something in your life. Possibly your place of residency.

That’s backwards. Not wasting your limited time on this planet on a social media site should be the premium feature. I mean, you could do it for free too but almost nobody does.

Great sentiment I guess but I don’t see any reason to believe this will amount to anything.

So your position is that their system is “Fascist Corporatism,” but also… that’s fine, actually?

Great point. That was a mistake from my part. So what China is doing is indeed not fine at all, even though it kind of works for them.

I mean if we were to sort of steelman this thing, there sure can be database relations and queries that hit only 60k rows but are still hteavy as fuck.

I’ve used local hard drives from like 1992 and I have never ever gotten them to overheat.

I’ve yet to find any such person who’s actually willing and capable to engage in a discussion of “what should they do/have done economically” as opposed to just bashing them.

I didn’t say they weren’t doing fine or that they shouldn’t be doing what they’re doing.

I just said that they’re not communists. This is not a bad thing! But lying about it is of course somewhat distasteful, especially for those people who think themselves as being communists.

What does it mean though? China’s gini coefficient is higher than Europe’s, and they have a growing number of billionaires.

What do they do in China, exactly? It looks like single-party fascist corporatism. If it’s communism, why do they have a rising number of billionaires and worse conditions for workers than many european countries?
