White people want the kind of "wars" where they can casually bomb civilians from across the globe with no retaliation. If it were their family, friends, and neighbors being slaughtered then I'm sure public sentiment would shift fast.

Portugal has to make amends for so much more than the transatlantic slave trade. The cultural genocide of the Americas has to be the most widespread genocide in human history. Two entire continents where virtually no people speak native languages or follow native religions and few native buildings remain. In a just world, western Europe would all be underwater.

The CSET study looked at fab construction between 1990 and 2020, and concluded that for the roughly 635 fabs built in that timeframe, the average time between the start of construction and production was 682 days. Three countries beat that benchmark: Taiwan at 654 days on average, Korea at 620, and Japan at a staggeringly fast 584 days. Meanwhile, Europe and the Middle East were about on par at 690 days, as was China at 701 days.

However, the U.S. clocked in at 736 days, well above the worldwide average and second only to Southeast Asia at 781.

Idk if I'm just a rube, but one month of difference doesn't seem like that big a deal. Also this author says that Taiwan is a country and that environmental protections should be cut to speed up construction.

Apparently this is a hot take: porn should be age-gated.

Nudity isn't the same thing as porn and while you can argue that twitch's new policy bans too much, it's inarguable that many streams were pornographic. Kids shouldn't be suggested streams of girls twerking on their Fortnite website.

Also I think pornhub and similar porn sites should do more to filter out children.

A lot of that whining is just getting what you paid for and then coping with racism. Like, yeah if you buy the cheapest possible stuff you can find it's probably gonna suck. But that's not because Chinese goods are poorly made, it's because cheap goods are poorly made.

Lol yeah the bean counters needed a way to make America look good so they came up with the idea that homeowners are their own tenants and pay imaginary rent to themselves. They also include healthcare costs in GDP so when a pharma corp charges you 30x more for meds, that's good for the economy!!

The US cooks the books on everything it does so it's hard to judge how bad things are truly going, but it means a lot that China's real numbers are comparable to the bs American stats.

Yeah them being above the law is the reason this genocide is happening in the first place. I wonder what it'll take for the rest of the world to hold the US to account for its crimes, or to even acknowledge that they're happening.
