  • Only parts of southern China, and parts of Korea eat dog. (Might be some other regions I'm unaware of. More freaky, and looked down on for it by the rest of China is Guangdong's eating of monkey brains).

  • Wow, what a total strawman to tilt at.

    I don't think anyone is claiming text to speak, or mouth controlled typing by quadraplegics doesn't count. But here, apparently that's the same as using AI (with the vague proviso of "thought and intentionality") so we shouldn't mind.

    Odd conflation of quite obviously differences of the word "write".

  • And were mass produced by the Time Lords.

  • Many folks in higher education in the UK have been bemoaning a generation of genii lost to business and the City who put their talents and creativity to the good of making profit rather than inventing and humanity.

    Many more have their funding and direction tilted to capital, too.

  • East Asian, China.

    So her given name is "Youyou", pronounced Yoyo (flat high tone).

  • What's confusing?

    There's a guy living in wage slavery making poor life choices that he justifies to himself as he finds no joy elsewhere in life.

    We sympathise with and laugh at the fool.

  • Most of the bestselling self help books are slop, just not necessarily AI generated.

    Truisms regurgitated by corporatist structures and advice groups to get people to struggle though and accept capitalism.

  • The "bi" is for both homosexual and heterosexual relations. Not gender itself.

  • Post-modernism denies grand narratives and puts forward that people will deceive themselves for their own benefit.And indeed that values and ideals are socially contracted, so what is "Good" will vary across space-time.

    Not that there is no Truth.

  • Yes, but had had mental health issues from the start.

    I mean, Pictures for Sad Children was the title, and wasn't the ghost a suicide?

  • The WHO does good work, but it's as much a bureaucractic force as a medical one, and I think due to the desire for geopolitical clout the US cared more about the latter than the former.Not that way that the US doesn't also do some medical outreach with military missions as the PRC also does.But it does make there a minor difference in kind. After all, the selfish jerk who goes around fulfilling people's dreams just for his own selfish satisfaction of feeling like a good person still is.

    More reasonable than the embargo never existing is it finishing in the 90s following the end of the Cold War. Sadly US face couldn't allow that to happen.

  • We can't be sure.

    The PRC isn't blockaded in the same way and has also invested in medicine and sends out lots of medical missions; that said, it had a bigger economy and does that less than Cuba.

    And even so, it doesn't make the blockade right - even if this is a potential silver lining.

  • Cuba's medical work is amazing.

    The US blockade is has been and remains a crime against humanity.

  • The PRC is helping kill Balochi and Burmese to keep it's access to resources in those areas in the 21st century.Which is far fewer than US imperialism across any comparible time scale.

    Over the last 5,000 years: millions.

  • But why quibble over the murkier "did he exist" ground when you could engage on "was he a miracle working guy who came back from the dead" and make them find more evidence for that!

  • No shade on long songs, but when a good 3 to 5 mins are quite dissonant and with bizzare snippets of lyrics it tends to get called out by people who haven't listened to Maggot Brain all the way through before.
