The nation wasn’t developed by the people who escaped. That’s an ahistorical way of framing the issue

Taiwan was developed by the overthrown proto-fascist military junta who just lost the civil war. After taking the island, they didn’t tell the people of Taiwan that the war had been over and they were no longer China until 1991. The first labor laws outlawing slavery were introduced to the people of Taiwan in 2006. The people of Taiwan still consider themselves China (it is afterall the name they go by, not Taiwan) and full Taiwanese independence is still a minority held belief on the actual island.

Just to be clear, I am a supporter of their independence, but this is a very messy situation in which the political party who comrade the country is the same fascist party who lost the war in the first place and still maintains to the UN that they are the legitimate government of the mainland. Full separation is convenient for the West, but neither side actually wants that, they just don’t want to be ruled by either fascists or communists, and I think that is incredibly fair for all people actually involved to want.

If anybody can patent it, it’s the W3C who holds it.

Aaron Swartz was working on self hosted social media before ycombinator merged his product with what became reddit.

Facebook is a little too late to the game to get any credit.

I think I misunderstood you the first time. I thought you were a musk fan boy claiming the regulators themselves were the deepstate.

If you are expanding the deep state to include regulatory bodies, you are just talking about the state.

Can you provide an instance of the state ever hiding the fact that they regulate businesses, or did you just find out that was one of their powers?

I feel that google already perfectly fits this function.

The only other issue is every other tech company wants to share Google’s pie.

I don’t personally do it myself just because I know the majority finds it disrespectful, but I actually enjoy it, especially when they are playing a good song and i can audile who the artist is.

Except there largely is no explanation for these occurances in the Bible either. Almost all interpretations are not given in the text and are highly culture-dependent.

The issue is that the claims of the Bible are insane.

Never heard of this game in my life, no idea to its quality but the title is absolutely hilariousmy bad. It makes me want to play it.

Does the game deliver on the camp or is it a legitimate game with just a bad English title?

According to this podcast on collapse I once heard, not once in human history has a technological breakthrough made humans less productive.

Indian curry is a gravy while Thai curry is a soup and the flavor profiles of their curries largely have no overlap.

They both are amazing.

I think we all here for each other, not the articles.

I wouldn’t really classify Ruby ridge as a rail-roading.

This is a guy who uprooted his family to move across the country so he could hang out with terrorists who shared Hitler-loving beliefs.

He then sold a sawed off shotgun to a man he believed was one of those terrorists.

We can definitely criticize law enforcement for every single they did from the inception of the case, but Weaver was not innocent.

I think they assumed you were libertarian because you were giving off irrationally angry vibes while sucking up to a corporation.

Many fake libertarians behave that way. It truly was an honest mistake the other person made.

Antennapod is good enough and has a widget, but to be honest, it needs to be a lot better.

They need to implement podcast discovery. Just showing 20 separate podcasts with nothing else is clearly not enough.

Pretty sure corporations running their own subreddits has been.a thing for awhile now. Fairly certain Costco’s subreddit is fully modded by their advertising department. Threads written by employees during COVID were getting nuked constantly.

Mistyping a word on a phone is a much different thing than reading comprehension.

But I agree I should be better at doing a quick scan before I press post.

I’m not sure I understand the cultural reference to alphabet stickers. Maybe it’s not a thing in my location.

If you were to put minimal effort into reading compretension while rereading what I wrote, you will find that I did not state nor suggest all capitalists were Jews.

Best of luck, cadet.

Capitalists?

It strikes me that you guys hate Jews for loving money too much, yet also accuse them of being communists who wish to abolish property rights. You hate the Orthodox for their anti-modern views, yet also hate secular Jews for the reason your children become atheist.

There is nothing you would allow a Jew to do without you using it to justify your hatred for them. Why is that?
