Lmao, not a piracy problem. Just the Yemenis carrying out legitimate naval interdiction operations and interference from Israel's allies. Mfkers pretending this is a piracy problem like off the coast of Somalia when it's just ships affiliated with Israel being interdicted.
really the only controversial part of the post tbh
I also do not "like" the state of China, however I am interested in the positive things they do for the people living there, and critical of the negative things.
I mean, same. Theyve managed to accomplish many incredible things in the past decade, but they also have many policies I find reprehensible.
It's their anti gamer policies isn't it?
It's always the G*mers
Honestly, on a purely personal level, the fact that you can, these days, actually sometimes get a Chinese hacker banned within less than an hour by spamming their pms or chat with the winnie the poor bear image and linking them or copy pasting excerpts of accounts of Tienanmen Square is basically both sad and funny to me.
people really believe this shit? lol
Seeing as I have no upvotes on that post, no, apparently not anyone here other than myself.
I'm hoping you take this as a wake up call.
The fact that you interpret people laughing at your stupidity as anger is just sad. Also, things don't become "irrational" just because you don't understand them.
Don't pull that "I'm allowed to be a shitty person, I had a shitty family!" bullshit here. A lot of us escaped from abusive families here, that kind of empty playing at sympathy might work in your usual lib circles but it doesn't give you carte blanche to be an ignorant smug redditor.
This sounds fake to me. It is in line with bacon having magic properties against Muslims.
I remember back in guild wars we used to mass report accounts for rascism and they would get autobanned. My guild won a tournament doing that. Was that evidence of US government overreach? Or companies being lazy and shitty?
Wow what a shitty thing to do, damn!
No, it wouldnt be evidence of US government overreach, mainly because the US government was not involved, you were basically just exploiting the game itself. The US /just listens/ to more or less everything you send through its networks.
China is a whole different beast, a whole 'nother realm of extremely invasive direct government censorship all throughout their own sort of internal internet within the Great Firewall of China. Combined with requiring internet users to basically now have a government ID that is the only way they can use the internet legally, requiring users to simply use their real names for all their online handles... there is so much control over the internet inside of china it is truly breathtaking, far too much for a currently homeless tech nerd to go into right now.
Anyway, its also not a common thing, ever seeing a chinese player banned for spamming verboten and already flagged material at them in a game, due in large part to... why would an American or European player ever connect to a Chinese server? Ping is terrible, no one speaks English, and video game hacking is extremely common in China, as, for a very long time, the only way they could really get their hands on a lot of video games was by already being an adept enough hacker to even /get/ a video game not made in China... which there were not many of until relatively recently... point is, if you have played enough games that let you connect to serves all around the world, you know that connecting to a Chinese game server is probably a bad idea.
those /wily/ inscrutable /tricky/ Chinese

I mean my computer got destroyed when I was illegally evicted, but there was a time /after/ China started cutting network connections based on keyword/phrase scanning, but /before/ games that could be played internationally started autoremoving such things from their chat so that Chinese players wouldnt be banned.
It didnt happen often, but I do remember a few times it did.
I honestly would love to provide more than just my personal anectode here, but I am quite serious when I say my computer was destroyed when I was evicted.
Well ok, either that, or one of the two corrupt maintenance people that were charging the whole apartment complex 20x the city's actual utility rates by shoving it through an obvious fake scam company based multiple states away... maybe one of them kept it for themselves.
I doubt theyd be able to figure out the boot level password, luks2 encryption password, and my actual user password though.
Probably parted out and sold.
I can't believe Ebul China would do such a thing!
Ok so you're full of shit, thanks for clearing that up
You can take the redditor off Reddit, but you can’t take the Reddit from the Redditor
Holy shit are you one of those people that actually fucking believes that?
Winnie the Pooh isn't banned in China, you can go visit Shanghai Disney and go see him. You can buy Pooh merch. The only thing that got banned was comparing images of Xi and Obama to Winnie and Tigger, and if you can't see why representing Xi with a literal yellow character and Obama with a character named Tigger might be worthy of social media bans, you're willfully ignorant.
And Chinese people aren't executed if they hear about Tiananmen Square. They know it fucking exists, they just refer to it by date and not by name.
