  • Finally a reason to visit government websites.

  • I preffered not knowing this

  • Apparently free speech is when you can't criticize Israel but can advocate for war crimes.

  • The infamous 996 is real - 9am to 9pm six days per week

    As opposed to... totally not being real in the US?

    Technically it's mostly illegal in China, though of course various companies get around that. Average workweek in China is apparently 44.6 hours. This data is far from ideal, as the website itself points out, but at least it gives us some general idea.

    According to this source, the Chinese work considerably longer hours than Americans. However, it should also be noted that workers in China get a lot more national holidays and better social protections than workers in the US.

    On average american salary is 3 times higher

    And everything is on average 6x more expensive. Made up number, but from what I've seen the actual one may be higher.

    In China, you can eat every meal at a restaurant for as little as 5 USD a day. In the US you may be making 3x more money, but the same food would cost you closer to 75 USD, which is 15 times more expensive.

    No tips included, since tipping doesn't exist outside of burgerland.

    Chinese take on much higher health risk from rare earth metals and manufacturing etc. to subsidize this pricing

    They mine it for companies all over the planet, including American ones. Everybody buys rare earths from China either because they're the cheapest or because they're the only ones available. It's not like China gets them cheap and the US has to pay 20x more due to safety regulations. Everybody buys them from China for cheap, regardless of their own safety laws.

    I think Chinese EVs are awesome but I'd rather pay higher american sticker price but actually lower real cost.

    What 'real cost' are you referring to here? American cars, not just EVs, are so expensive that almost nobody can afford them. In my country a BYD Dolphin Surf costs 50% less than the cheapest competing car, while still offering better range. How can it be cheaper to buy a more expensive car that performs worse?

  • Crazy how long it takes for supposedly extremely brilliant scientists and engineers working at Evil LLC to realize that maybe their work is a net loss for humanity.

    It's almost as if... they just didn't care and pretended to realize their mistakes once everything was well exposed. It's like reading obviously satirical scientists' memos in Resident Evil. Except it's real life and they're not satire.

  • Lowkey makes me want to start an ai girl onlyfans. How moral would it be to redistribute some of maga people's resources this way?

  • Unless you have aphantasia, in which case books are either just text or very limited images.

  • Sure, it's not vital to our survival or freedom, but ownership over digital media is a pretty damn big deal in the current age.

  • Same thousands of CEOs will continue implementing as much AI as possible, because it literally doesn't matter to them whether or not it impacts employment or productivity.

  • A true homelab captain goes down with their ship.

  • What if they're smoking estrogen joints though

  • Anything to distract Americans from serious issues. And it somehow works every time...

  • Rich pedophiles really will close entire stores, losing 100% of profits from them, rather than let them unionize, losing potentially 5% of profits short-term.

  • Very nice. Can't wait for them to make a map how to find it next.

  • Of course this is a major problem for the pedophile class. For the last 250 years the American Empire was able to function thanks to a countless number of uneducated people locked into perpetual poverty, having children at 14.

  • He's probably already on a certain list. Should we check?

  • At the very least they're valuing the soldiers' lives enough to spend so much on saving them. To be honest I completely expected the US forces to just forget about anyone lost on Iranian territory.

  • Yuzu, Citrus.

    Still cis though.
