Apparently there are some Cherry MX sets from 30 years ago that are still working today. So I guess part of it is longevity, part nostalgia.
Sitting in a shitty room and not being able to go outside is torture enough for most. Remember how we all went a bit wonky in the head during lockdown? Like that, but for a lifetime.
Don't you mean, you tried to sook it up?
sorry.
It's the one-party system that bothers me, really. When I talk about politics to my one close-ish friend from mainland China, I often feel like she comes from an alien planet
Private companies are also run by people. "The market" is also affected by people making imperfect decisions all the time, waiting for it to self regulate is...well, I mean, aren't we still waiting?
Yea, I'm not as invested in this story as others seem to be. I'm on a work trip abroad and am a bit hyperstimulated
Look, Madison probably talked to someone about it while it was occurring, but we're not part of her personal support group. We don't have that privilege and that's ok
Why are we letting China get away with it? Why are we letting Saudi Arabia get away with it? The IOC is a toaster and it's like you're asking it to make you a whole roast dinner. It can't even make toast properly...
I also love me some toned abs. The guys in my skate park wears crop tops and sometimes I just sit on the ground eating cherries.
Hear! Hear!
Which is sad, because the way for women of that milieu to have any standing in society or a disposable income is by marrying. And the way to "seal and secure" the marriage is to have children ASAP.
I had a part time job when I was in uni. It was a crappy job at a cinema (it was not crappy, it was actually a load of fun, but you know, "crappy"), but I'm a millennial. My mother's cousin told me she used to want to do part time at a store, just to have her own money (her husband had a flashy job), but hubby told her not to do it, because, "What if our friends visit that store? Where do we put our face?"
Saving face... pffftt. I believe this is still the sentiment in places like Hongkong, certain classes in India, in Indonesia, etc. Upper class women shouldn't work or study, lest it makes them look working class.
Where does this silly notion come from? Elon Musk also said something like anti-science, anti-merit, anti-human thing and he's not an original thinker. I've read some longtermism papers, but have yet to come across this exact wording. Where did you hear it? (Please don't say Elon, tell me you at least have the primary source...)
