I've never heard anyone irl say anything close to as weird about geopolitical stuff or communism

People generally try to avoid political topics in conversations. Especially around people who aren't very close. It took me around 6 months of knowing some people to discover one guy was a BJP supporter, one guy supports the Nazis over the Soviets, one guy thinks Putin invaded because he has cancer, one guy thinks Chinese people can't access VPNs or they'll be taken away, one guy discovered the truth about Ukrainian Nazis, how Soviet backed Afghanistan was much better, yet still supported American interventionism because he works in America so it's good for him, etc.

I could literally keep typing for paragraphs and paragraphs but yea

Is it just me or is there a clear positive correlation between how much money an office worker makes and how fast they speak? Obviously with a cap on the speed at some point

Is it like a Type A thing since they're more likely to get promoted? Or speaking faster = appear more confidence, assertive, capable which is why they've climbed high on the career ladder? Or the higher level you are, the more your job is about attending meetings and speaking to people so they speak faster to get more words in before the meetings ends?

Idk, I read this as Lukashenko once again, being unable to act professional and civil when talking to the West and just going on a rant about how much he wants to see them fail

Dude just wants to let his anger out and be real, seems like he hates realpolitik, even towards his allies tbh lol

2.5 months of jail and 24 hour solitary confinement for handing out flyers about a cop who shot an organizer 60 times ...

Apple dongle fucks. Audiophile DACs are mostly snake oil

Apple dongle is like 95% quality of an nice DAC for 5-10% of the price

You're not wrong but I'm surprised it was an online forum thing that made you realize this

It hurts me a billion times more hearing absurd anti-communist and reactionary statements irl

Semiconductor manufacturing is probably by far the most difficult mass manufacturing that exists

All the factory workers are extremely high skilled

Okay I think they're saying that immigrants and minorities are the ones causing economic problems

The problems are bad = social welfare, higher taxes, security nets, etc. -> fiscally conservative

Socially very liberal = The causes, immigrants and minorities, are very good

Nope, TSMC manufactures around 90% of the highest end chips

You forgot charging their kids rent the second they turn 18 lmao

Anglos are so desperate to be landlords they'll make their kids a tenant

Far more pathetic than just saying the actual slur

Like they're racist but they can't even commit to being racist in a socially unacceptable way

They have to be politically correct racist lmao

The source for that claim is entirely from the US state department. Not to mention some expert disputed that claim

"The estimated all-time high for opium production was set in 2017 at 9,900 tons worth some $1.4 billion in sales by farmers or roughly 7% of Afghanistan's GDP, the UNODC reported."

"Mansfield says his field studies show the most the Taliban can earn from illicit opiates is about $40 million annually"

So the Taliban made at most 40 million per year while the entire country (under US occupation and control) made over 1 billion per year
