And here I thought I was the only one.

What did he do to you?

No shit.

Europe and America are two peas in a pod, with the only difference between them being that European nations no longer have the military advantage to impose their will as they did in the past.

Too close to home.

Where did I express sympathy for bond holders or claim that the collapse in the manufacturing was caused by one party?

You are either very naive or very dishonest if you think that the CCP handled the pandemic well. It was their incompetence, tallied with their dishonesty that caused the spread to begin with.

You really don’t know what’s happening in China unless you speak to people who live there or have emigrated recently. Believing the lies spread by the CCP is not doing anybody any favorn. The Chinese people have already witnessed the collapse of their real estate sector, while the banking sector lurches from crisis to crisis, on any given day you will see another video of bank customers pleading for their money to be returned to them en masse. And now we have a crisis in the manufacturing sector, workers are being laid off and those left employed are seeing their wages cut if they get paid at all.

The Chinese people do not exist in a state of peace with the CCP, that political monstrosity is one of the many reasons why there has been a rush of Chinese citizens leaving the country. The pandemic fully exposed how destructive and nefarious the CCP is. First they denied it started in China, followed by a weak attempt to blame foreigners for covid-19. It ended with the CCP welding people into their homes, caging Chinese citizens and allowing human beings to literally starve to death.

While the Chinese government pushes a very nationalistic message, It really isn’t pro-human in the slightest. The CCP top brass has been content to exploit the poverty of its populace in order to enrich themselves.

They have killed plenty of their own citizens.

Have you been to China?

It isn’t an interesting phenomenon, it’s just wrong. Gym goers are no more stupid than the bulk of humanity.

Good luck with bringing about change.

But it was okay for OP to dismiss male gym goers as being stupid based on one coversation. Interesting logic that.

I don’t go to the gym or fly to socialize. Me wearing headphones shouldn’t perturb you as much as it appears to, no matter how much you protest that it doesn’t. You wrote a lot of words for one who doesn’t care.

Why does my perspective upset you so much? Are you one of the morons having loud, senseless conversations in public?

I learned a long time ago that I need to wear headphones in the gym, on planes and on trains. Human beings in general are pretty fucking stupid, it’s not limited to the gym or to men.

Developers have been using Linux for a while. There are tools for CAD and video production too.

People are still falling for this schtick?

It’s easier to play my favorite Windows and Nintendo games on the Steam Deck than on a Switch.

KDE is much easier to configure and was more stable last time that I compared.
