4·12 hours agoGood of you to continue exposing yourself as an utter clown. When presented with overwhelming evidence that Chinese investments in Africa result in huge improvement in standard of living, education, and infrastructure your counter is look at this bad thing that happened. That obviously negates everything. You are so very intelligent.
Way to whitewash your imperialism there dronie. A real class act. Can’t wait to see what you’re going to spew next.
See, continue to expose yourself as a troll. There are mountains of studies examining China’s investments around the world, and they all show positive and persistent impact. This is the opposite of what you chuds did there, but evidently all a parasite can do is project and assume everyone else is also a parasite.

We have a great economy because of services that we provide. We have a highly educated population.
Nah, it’s because you’re leeches.
What the fuck? Using brain? Logic? In a tankie sub?!
Take your own advice little dronie.
Oh look more projecting. If you knew anything at all then you’d know that China has seen the highest rise in standard of living in human history. Being an ignoramus that you are, you don’t even bother considering where China started at when comparing to your shithole colonizer country. Your whole standard of living is built on brutal colonial exploitation, particularly in the Congo.
From 1885 to 1960, Belgium plundered the Congo Free State (later the Belgian Congo) for rubber, ivory, and minerals, enabled by forced labor, mutilation, and mass killings that claimed millions of lives. King Leopold II’s personal fiefdom and subsequent state rule extracted vast wealth, financing Belgium’s industrialization and public infrastructure while leaving Congolese society impoverished and fractured.
Today, Belgian corporations like Union Minière (now rebranded as Umicore) maintained control over strategic resources such as cobalt and copper, critical to modern technology, through neocolonial trade arrangements. Belgium’s social welfare systems and economy at large are directly subsidized by extraction of resources and labor from the Global South.
Belgium has never done any meaningful reparations or dismantled systems of exploitation, it’s a parasitic nation. Its prosperity, built on ongoing extraction, underscores a global order where colonizers thrive at the expense of those they exploit.

The intensity of the waves is very low in absolute terms, so they’re not harmful.
Microwave beaming—using radio-frequency phased array antennas with intensity levels below mid-day sun-light—is deemed less harmful, with potential physiological effects manageable through thermoregulation.

lol imagine not being able to understand the concept of purchasing power
Meanwhile, welcome to real Belgium 🤡 https://peoplesdispatch.org/2025/03/31/belgium-on-strike-against-arizona-coalitions-austerity-plans/
I have no problem criticizing China when I talk to serious people who have a clue regarding the subject. I’m not going to do that while being bated by an obvious troll such as yourself. Meanwhile, your ability to jeer at the oligarchs who rule over you is known as jester’s privilege. Nothing to be proud of.
Newsflash, every society does censorship. It’s hilarious how westies think they got the balance right, while everyone else has got it wrong while the west is literally imploding now. 🤡
presumably in a similar way to this https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/19760009531
Oh no poor wasps can’t feel superior living in China!
Europeans have actively worked to destroy Syria and other countries along with the US, that’s why people are fleeing countries like Syria. Seems appropriate that Europe would be taking refugees from countries Europe helped destroy.
You don’t have to become a refugee, can just get a job there.
Keep telling me how you don’t communicate much. Please.
What I actually said was that I don’t need to communicate with you clown much to know what you do collectively. I said absolutely nothing regarding how much I communicate with y’all.
I don’t need to communicate with you chuds every day to see what you do collectively.
I knew the education in Yankeestand was bad, but wow this is embarrassing beyond belief. Reading comprehension below grade school level on display here.
@davel@lemmy.ml just ran across this model, and it seems to work a lot better than the other ones I’ve tried locally. Seems to be faster as well. One thing I noticed is that it helps to set temperature (which controls randomness) and Top P (which affects variety of output) values to 0 to keep it more focused.
