Yeah, they said all the cities looked ugly with parking lots so they just “pretend all parking is underground” and igore the costs/upkeep with something like that.

containership traffic through the strait fell by 67% and tanker traffic has dropped by about 50%, according to Windward, a maritime-intelligence company.

OMG, I didn’t even catch that they said it was ineffective and then said that traffic has dropped out nearly 50%.

Nothing to see here folks. We’ve only had to drastically reroute all of our ships. But, truly, nothing to see here.

Damn that copium is strong.

Thank you, comrade!

God damn, Thank you for putting that boneheaded lib in this place.

Western libs are all confidence and no intelligence. We are the most propagandized people on the planet, and most people are so uncomfortable with the word “propaganda” that they refuse to even acknowledge its existence.

At the beginning of this conflict, I was a western ib all the same and though I didn’t speak about it online, I supported Ukraine. It took a lot of keeping my mouth shut and listening, and learning history, and just not being so over confident, to finally come to the understanding that the West is causing this problem, not trying to solve it.

Lame.ee is the fucking worst.

Thank you for being willing to speak out and being the voice of reason.

That quote is so relevant every time a Western politician opens their stupid mouths about China.

Westoids literally think it’s Lord of the Rings there! They took the orc comments too seriously.

I use freetube on desktop and grayjay on mobile.

Greyjay will also read from multiple sources, like patreon and nebula, and now including Bilibili, which is interesting to see content from. I think they have like a dozen sources that they are compatible with now.

Both have had constant access to YouTube for over a year now. YouTube likes kicking off those third parties…

Freetube will fall back to invidious instance(s) if YouTube fails to load. So even if YouTube is messing with them, you get something. You can turn that off if it gives you trouble.

It’s a pain to manage my subscriptions across two different systems. But they both read and write to newpipe subscription streams, So I can export and import between them that way. Oh, and newpipe is another option for mobile. I’ve had problems with them, they tend to get blocked a lot. But I haven’t used them recently, they might be better now.

Based of course

All good comrade, it’s so hard to tell online haha. I figured it could have been (mostly) a joke.

I might peddle for donations once I work up the courage. Until then it’s on my mom’s credit card lol.

Absolutely no disrespect intended because anyone doing work like this is my comrade, but is this a joke?

I’d be cautious of trusting that things last a long time on here if the above quote is real.

Otherwise, if needed, I’m sure someone on here (unfortunettely not me atm, I don’t have the time, but in the future for sure, yes) could help with costs and maintenance.

Fucking shit, this mass grave thing is intense. I absolutely cannot fathom being a father who found their childs body bound up in a mass grave. The absolute hatred I would feel for every zionist and their libcuck friends prancing around on twitter celebrating dropped bombs on my neighbors.

I sit thousands of miles away and it still eats at me.

Right! I knew I was forgetting something important! Sodium batteries have some potential to help, including as LiPo/Sodium hybrids.

Evs are awesome and way better than gas cars in 99% of cases. Then a greener grid will makes evs even better over time…

But…

It would take more lithium than is known to exist in all of our current mines to make the batteries for the cars in JUST north america (reference needed, sorry can’t remember where I heard this).

Maybe if we had multiple technologies, started getting lithium from the ocean (expensive and may have bad side effects), and used hydrogen for all forms of transportation that it could be used for, because with cars it’s pretty unrealistic, but with planes, trains, and trucks its more realistic, AND we kept our range expectations low, and and and… then maybe we could get solid EV penetraion worldwide.

But nah, the real answer is we need to rebuild our cities to have good public transit, put more batteries in bikes and scooters so less overall batteties are needed to move a person (including no batteries for bikes and scooters sometimes too haha), and all that energy can go toward running high speed rail and city streetcars (streetcars on steel rails, because its more efficient and lasts longer and is cheaper to maintain than roads).

Sorry, long answer haha. Btw i was into evs before tesla made it cool, so i’ve just been thinking about this for a long time haha.

I am disappointed that China is still behind in this regard. I don’t think anybody gets punished for it or anything. I think it’s just a cultural thing. But still.

(Edit. To clarify, I actually liked the article for the most part. I just found some problems with his philosophy lower in the article.)

Okay, the guy goes pretty much full revisionist by the end of that article, but I think most of what he said is sound in terms of facts. His philosophy and political ideology is not exactly correct, though.

He tries to compare communism to fascism and says that communism failed because it ignored merchants. It all sounds like someone who read a couple of paragraphs of a description of what communism was by a western source, but never looked into it further (He has actually read a little more than that. He at least mentions Deng and quotes him as well. His arguments just smell revisionist.). I bet this person just believes that communism is authoritarian but without CEOs.

I always got to keep in mind that China has four and a quarter times as many people as the US. This still blows them out of the water. It ain’t even fucking close.

I’m not near my sources right now, But I also try to keep in mind that China consistently beats its deadlines and the United States consistently misses them when it comes to, well, anything really, but specifically climate change for sure.

China is using so much energy and still growing, that they’re not gonna be carbon neutral for a while still, but at this rate they’re gonna blow the pants off of the United States. I bet these numbers are in the report, but unfortunately I don’t have time to skim 168 pages.

Thanks for the reference Comrade!

Yeah, it’s funny, I bet if I linked an NPR article that said the exact same things, they would be fine with it.

Except for the pro palestinian edge that second thought has. One person took issue with that the most.

MMN is a fav of mine! Yeah, I’m not sure they’re ready for that. But if they only see it once a week it might not be overwhelming haha.

I was talking with them one time and I said, do you really read about imperialism at all? And they said, nope, just in talking with you.

That was one point recently where I said, you know what, I’m not going to be able to teach them everything. They’re going to have to learn this on their own too.

Thanks comrade!
