  • I lived in the Midwest too.

    The Midwest voted to be left alone, especially for culture war issues.

    The southwest voted to get rid of mexicans.

    The Mid-Atlantic voted for culture war issues mostly.

    The south voted to hurt people, just like they have in literally every election for 200 years. This is literally the region that fought a war for slavery, lost, and kept it anyway under a different name for 100 years, there ain't no shame in their game.

    Look at the margins, the south voted trump by a crazy landslide.

    The small town in the Midwest I lived in was beautiful in the 1980s, then in the 90s nafta kicked in and we were infested by southerners moving north for jobs, bringing their drugs and crime with them.

    They're a plague, and they're spreading.

  • I want får more revenge than you can possibly imagine.

    But the problem isn't David Brooks, it's the infinitely racist south who love fascists as long as it means they can brutalize anyone brown or otherwise different without consequence.

    Before the party switch the Republicans were just greedy, now their greed pales in comparison to their lust for cruelty. That's the southern way.

    Sherman needed to keep going, for another decade or two.

  • That translates to 'sic semper tyrannus'

    The quote attributed to Brutus when stabbing Caesar, and what John Wilkes booth said after shooting Lincoln.

  • They had 2 revolutioary wars.

    Both were because they were part of a country that wasn't pro-slavery enough.

  • Y'All Queda.

  • A sucker with fast, cheap fiber.

    I want to be a sucker too :(

  • Have one now, and had one before.

    Don't bother, unless you're crazy.

    I like it because I basically can build a terminal and ssh back home with my bluetooth keyboard in my bag, but otherwise it's basically useless, except for watching youtube sometimes.

    When the trifold come out they might be worth it, that's a proper tablet really.

    edit: Ok, 1 killer use-case: When your eyes start going, they're a godsend.

  • Which increases ESR and effectively reduces current, requiring larger cells/more cells in parallel.

  • Wehraboo.

    But that's our word!

  • Is this some kind of windows joke I'm too GPL to understand?

  • In my opinion, it is chinese culture as it would and should have been without the CPC.

    So take that as you will.

  • Oh, you should see the history, it's incredible.

    But ... the modern culture is... sad? Like a horrible cheap 70s ripoff of capitalism, but in a mean way.

    For the modern culture, I recommend Taiwan heartily.

  • No, 80s were hardcore taiwan and south korea for crappy toys, maybe Japan early on.

    Even the early 90s were Taiwan and SK, then China came in and swallowed everything whole.

  • I mean, they are, but not in the way you'd think.

    They don't care much about quality, but they have the data (the critical part) to improve quality anyway, with a fraction of the zealous dedication Japan applied.

    A database that shows 1 part always fails for a specific reason is hard to argue against, just change that part.

    Technology makes innovation easier.

  • Meh, the plaza accords get the credit, but their real estate bubble was massive anyway.

    China seems to have just walked past their real estate bubble, that's actually really impressive.

  • The demographic charts suggest otherwise.

  • I worked there a while.

    Feel free to visit, but also feel ready to be disappointed.

    They're broken in a very fundamental way, a sad way. There are good people there, but also a lot of sociopaths.

    Shanghai is a wonder of the world though, I recommend everyone visit, truly beautiful.

  • I use that daily in my accelerator work.

    Once you learn the trick, you just use it naturally.

  • For reptiles and other stuff, we don't have those.
