Just being lazy setting up a new account, probably on zip

Re: 7, shame that he likes Ayn Rand lmfao

He really hates Lemmy.ml so my assumption is that he doesn’t want to link back to it in any way since the original question was in the Lemmy.ml asklemmy communjty

Honestly I wouldn’t worry about it too much unless it’s a curl jersey lol

Yeah I hear you, the games have been super fun!

Man fuck Britta Curl, homophobe, transphobe, covid denying. https://titleixhockey.wordpress.com/2024/06/12/pwhl-minnesota-coach-ken-klee-says-player-who-implied-all-queer-people-are-perverts-is-great-in-locker-rooms-full-of-queer-athletes/

I think they mean the feature fillet, not a fillet weld

If he very clearly didn’t want a genocide, wouldn’t he have taken action that would prevent it (or as much of it as reasonably possible) from continuing instead of just saying “You gotta stop it Jack!”?

The majority of these self checkouts also rate limit you intentionally or otherwise (likely due to weight checking on the bagging area). I know I can scan a lot faster than they let me given a proper setup

Sure I get your first few sentences and even agree there that reddit doesn’t want positive talk of competition, but what I’m failing to see is where China comes in to play here beyond the fact they have some ownership stake in reddit. Do you think they’re driving this policy, if so what makes you think it’s them and not any of the other 100 rich assholes with ownership stakes?

Holy non sequitur batman

Do not use anti-zionism (OK) as a guise for your antisemitism (bad)

Save 100% on it by pirating it (or simply not playing it at all)

I want to push back on this just a little. Clearly UM isn’t the bastion of consistent good thought, but others that were maligned like return2ozma have been pretty consistent in what they post.

This is to say, “Great, one person is a fuckup. Why are we attributing this to the whole group?”

I don’t see how he’s any more unelected than prime ministers who are voted on by their party. From my short wiki read it seems to work pretty similarly to that process

Yes that’s definitely exactly what I said thank you. /s

I won’t be engaging with you further, thanks.

I’ll not directly list any because that would be a waste of both of our times (notably some directly listed in the forthcoming article), but here’s a wikipedia article with some information about that. I’m picking wiki here because I have a feeling you won’t immediately discard it as pro-china propaganda. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-owned_enterprises_of_China

If the workers own the state and the state owns the corporations, what practical difference does it make? In a sense: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_socialism

The logic here is the state apparently operates at the will of the people (high approval ratings and high participation) and is working to bring “common prosperity” by gaining more control over the privately owned economy and bringing io state (public) ownership

In industries that have been pulled into the public fold, sure. I’m calling them socialist In the same vein that you might still call most western countries capitalist despite having market regulations and some companies that are workers co-ops or use other socially owned frameworks. As long as they’re solidly on this trajectory it seems silly to me to label it otherwise at this point just as it would be silly to call the us socialist for having a few employee owned businesses

You won’t see me argue that China is communist, it’s socialist as it stands now with the stated goal of becoming communist

I’d buy that line if China wasn’t integrating those large businesses (albeit slowly) into the public sector, something the west is not doing, but rather moving to deregulate more and more (Thanks Trump! /s)

What makes you say they don’t think it applies to the West? I don’t follow your logic there.
