I don't think that number is surprising. Living in China e.g. 40 years ago would have sucked, so as mentioned in the article you posted, living conditions have basically continuously improved for people. I expect that number will drop in the upcoming decades (although IDK to what extent). It's worth noting the studies were basically pre-COVID.

Also, pointing out that China has other political parties is worthless since they basically can't do anything.

I find it sort of amusing that your example for the UK is the Online Safety Act given that China has the GFW. Like, I find the Online Safety Act problematic (along with a number of other things the UK has done), but the scale is barely even comparable lol.

It takes 0 effort to find other sources if you actually try to look this sort of stuff up. I feel like you've basically decided the answer and are just looking for people to validate your opinion.

Whenever I hear about shit like this I wonder if I should just start a company and package free software lol. Could like donate a bunch of the profit to the actual projects.

Given that most of the people I know who go to (or went to) what you'd call moderate churches also voted for Trump, I'd say your view is at best flawed.

If you're in North America, Asian cars are generally gonna be Korean or Japanese, not Chinese. I'd probably say just buy Japanese cars frankly since IIRC they're supposedly the most reliable.

Shenzhen is huge and has an absurd amount of tech companies, so this doesn't really surprise me.

This is a case where I find trying to preserve "tradition" just incredibly bizarre. Like, what does this even add?

Truly so shocked. Anyway, pretty obvious since the biggest reason these companies refuse to even release the server component (as opposed to making the game playable offline) is that they can then either "remaster" the game and release it again in like a decade or just release it again with maybe a couple features added and call it v2.0.

Reading the article, I'm not entirely sure the survey authors are claiming that. The quote they pulled sounds like it just says among the people surveyed (who are known to be trans), those stats apply. They're definitely very easy to misuse though. I feel like it would be nice to actually have good stats for people who detransition, but it seems almost impossible without someone trying to bias the results at this point.

Gotta shove AI into everything to prevent the bubble from collapsing.

Their dignity seems a bit fragile. Might want to work on that.
