You’re right, I didn’t notice it

Skrillex?

You’re blaming China for shit that is being done by US companies, wrong and stupid and also arguably racist

Sausage is meat, just ground up. People use the term “american cheese” to refer to a variety of products, ranging from almost all real cheese with a small percentage of emulsifier added, to shit like Kraft singles which is mostly milk protein concentrate and emulsifier with a small percentage of real cheese added (allegedly). The latter is usually labelled “pasteurized process cheese food/product” or something similar, US law forbids actually calling it cheese if the cheese content is less than 95% iirc

The car adapter did kick ass, but I never got to use it because looking at anything other than the road while in a moving vehicle would instantly make me nauseous. I do vaguely remember it getting very hot, alarmingly so in retrospect, but I didn’t know shit about exploding batteries at 5 years old so I never worried about it.

Sega GameGear. That thing had a better screen than any portable gaming device would for another 20+ years, but it would eat 6 AA batteries in less than an hour. There were rechargable battery packs you could get for it but they were heavy as shit and didn’t last noticeably longer, you could play it with the battery pack plugged into the charger but then you’re not actually mobile at all so you might as well play the same games on the Genesis.

That goat looks stoned as fuck, which is exactly how I like to watch Scooby Doo

Because they’re US puppets

Fyi accusing everyone who disagrees with you of being the same isn’t an effective rhetorical strategy, it just makes it seem like you’re too stupid to differentiate between them

Lol stay stupid patriot

No, that’s not what I said at all you fucking moron. The US is not and has never been a democracy, go read a book.

If I had to guess I’d say that nobody has bothered responding to you with more than a single sentence because you clearly have internet access and could easily read about the history of US voting rights and the current state of US voting suppression, and that you therefore have no excuse for weighing in on a topic about which you clearly don’t know much, but that’s just an educated guess.

Originally voting rights in the US were only extended to white male christian land-owners. Over the course of the next two centuries they gradually relaxed the property ownership requirements, then eventually got around to granting voting rights to non-white men and then women. In theory this would make the US currently a democracy, but in practice they suppress voting access in predominantly non-white districts through gerrymandering, and elected officials routinely act against the wishes of their constituents in favor of pleasing their billionaire donors. We transitioned from a fundamentally racist and classist republic to an oligarchy.

It is not factually wrong, even if you argue that a representative republic can be democratic it’s an easily verifiable historical fact that ours never was. At every point in US history there have been groups of people who were deliberately and methodically disenfranchised from any representation while still being subject to US rule. If being told that hurts your feelings it just means the propaganda worked, try being less gullible.

I have not been defeated, I have been assisted. I lose nothing and gain valuable experience. I grow and challenge my opponent again, helping them to grow as well.

The US has never been a democracy, they’re just being more straightforward about it recently

There’s no evidence for free will. Every physical process involved in the function of our bodies and brains has so far proven to be deterministic in every way we can verify. That doesn’t mean you can’t have an original thought though, it just means that any original thought you have was necessarily going to happen and couldn’t possibly have happened any other way. It’s fate.

Nothing in this article or anywhere else presents any actual evidence that the Chinese government ever had direct access to US user data, and the claims presented here all predate the transition to Oracle servers, which were conducted in cooperation with the US government specifically to ensure that US user data wouldn’t be available to the Chinese government. The easiest route to our data has been and continues to be buying it from US companies, which is still completely legal.

US tiktok data has been hosted by Oracle on their own servers on US soil for several years now, China doesn’t have access to it. Also they can and do just buy your user data from US companies. If you don’t like Tiktok then you don’t have to use it, but fear of Chinese surveillance is a stupid reason to avoid the app.

To my left is my dog Courage, she weighs about 50 lbs so having her shoved up my ass would probably end my life
