Obviously the one who went to kick the Yankees out of north Korea.

*Enterprising not in the sense of financial enterprise

Ehh, it’d mean that for a lot of CPC members I’ve met.

‘Society’ as in human life itself.

It’s not like AES countries don’t ban personal WMDs.

Well kinda yeah, any real functional society would and probably should take pretty serious measures to limit living super-weapons.

They’re not ‘different’ in the way that different humans are different, they’re potentially an existential threat to society.

now this is goodposting

No idea how they enforce it but it works.

Shanghai’s pretty quiet. They banned car horns and there are so many electric cars and busses you don’t really get engine noise either.

SEA or India makes China feel tranquil imo.

Chinese people knew how corrupt China was in the Jiang/Hu eras, and while they certainly weren’t happy about it they weren’t overthrowing the government then. Now in a time of considerably less corruption thanks to Xi’s efforts some magical exposure of the corruption that still exists would probably just lead to people shrugging and saying “at least it’s better than 20 years ago”.

I don’t understand giving an award to people who haven’t achieved anything. Like even by right-wing ghoul standards, this is a participation trophy while Maduro’s government still stands.

I don’t think even leftist, anti-zionists Israelis would want military invasion against themselves, knowing all the hurt it would bring. You’ve got to be especially insulated to be able to handle the Iraq treatment, something only right-wing, state department-aligned ghouls will be.

I wish only bad luck on you, I’m afraid.

ok slaver

Yeah, you think, and hopefully come to the obvious conclusion that life inside life for cats is a wonderful luxury compared to any kind of life in the wild.

A gilded cage, my friend.

Would you prefer they simply be exterminated?

Honestly neutering existing populations until they phase out naturally seems most ethical.

So cat ownership is either harmful to the cat itself (indoors) or harmful to other animals (outdoors)?

Really makes you think

Outdoor cat keepers are the only exception; they simply provide food and shelter for a free, wild, and consenting being.

Do NOT criticise the parasocial muscle man

This man is the face of the modern American left

Oof

He reaches for something out of frame and the dog immediately yelps, pretty weird coincidence if its not a shock collar.

I feel like the easiest would just be to assign newborns one of 12 (or however many) archetypes and just rotate through the list constantly. So a baby born gets archetype 1, then the next born wherever in the world gets 2, then 3, then so on until 12 when we restart at 1.

Humans would never be able to trace it because so many babies are born and the data and infrastructure doesn’t exist worldwide to track births to the second. It’d be functionally random but divided exactly.

Wrestling only pretends to be real on the absolute surface, but you’re supposed to understand that it’s fiction. Once you’re past that detail its fundamentally just a very specific type of theater.
