Honestly I think there is a window of opportunity here where, if you accept (far) less than market rate, that is feasible, right now. Before they find out.

Imagine the reverse scenario happening and how that'd play out

as far as my history knowledge goes china had historical troubles with all of their population being opiate addicts so this tracks. No I will not check how this came to be or how it shapes chinese politics to this day.

Zizek makes kind of the same point and I'd hate to go to bat for either of them but I think they're correct on that one. All the philantrophy is just bullshit anyways, smoke and mirrors. The only thing it serves to do is obfuscate the horrible shit

how is there nothing left, is there kids bikes made out of magnesium?

dude we got so many people named something like Jean-Wilhelm Prszkorky-och-Hapsburg. They're all fucking great at Excel. Obviously it is upon on us to administrate the worlds dealings.

Glad I checked the date on this which is "Saturday 13 June 2020 17:06 BST" because this is the type of thing Boris Johnson was saying completely regardless of whether he was a journalist, politician or ex-politician

I have to disagree with you on that one. It’s not really a mystery why a pro-China comment is getting downvoted on reddit.

Oh no I agree, my point here was that it isn't necessarily downvoted for the Urbanism thing but the China thing. I think the same post just generalizing Asia would've gone much different.

It's not an improvement over the previous meme but I take any chance I get to post this image

I don't exactly want to go to bat for /r/fuckcars here but the reply comments have 5 and 1 upvotes and the original comment could be downvoted for any number of reasons.

A problem /r/fuckcars constantly has is that it attracts entirely too many people who think it's called /r/fuckbaddrivers, /r/fuckeverybodyelsesescar, /r/fuck the people going for unnecessary starbucks run, blocking my way to my necessary burger king run and so on and so on.

That isn't to say OPs take is wrong. But for that you also have to consider that basically everyone who isn't some type of urbanist in the west only has worse oppinions than that about the topic.

It's a mess. The whole thing is a mess.

I don't think you should uncritically believe this story as is. Any actual analysis that's worthwhile and more than "LOL, LMAO!" here is probably going to need a comparatively deep understanding of accounting rules surrounding the LAFD and such and political dealings. Usual thing for this type of stuff is you donate old equipment and buy new shit, somebody might've just thrown a wrench in that last part or whatever.

It'll never stop being funny to me that the UK claims to have special relationship with the USA, a thing that nobody over there has ever heard about or cares.

It's like them thinking they're the nemesis, in modern EU terms, to Germany and France, who also do not care about this

Haha yeah I'm a huge fan of glock. Runs pretty expensive tho, lol! But quality is worth it. Just joined a "shooters" ;) club. Also a great way to connect with my wife and daughters, to be honest, would've never expected it!

Listen, if I was in charge of $random_geopolitical_issue things would've gone a lot differently. Don't ask me what I would've done differently or, god forbid, how. It just would've. I would've done something to set right the injustices suffered by my nation. I am also going to weave and bob any question as to what specifically this would entail, on account of I am not educated enough to make this call, but my trusted advisory council of experts, of which I have 0 idea of how any of them got there or what their qualifications are, would've concocted up the solution that finally propels my state into the global hegemons and makes everybody love me.

You got your 5 basic senses; taste, sight, touch, smell and sound

and then you get further into it and there's like position.

And then you get further into it and there's like "position relative to your other positions, removed from everything else"

And then you get further into it and there's like "your hormones do something iunno"

And then, I propse, a bunch of Estonians stumbled upon even more advanced senses by way of inframaterialism. They fucking cracked the code on all the subconsciously influenced senses. They're all your senses filtered through your some parts of your uncionscousness. Shivers is the gut feeling you get when the bar fight turns sour. Esprit de Corps is when you notice your organisational circle acting out. These are common, human experiences!

So much of EDC seems to be centered around either surviving alone in the woods for days or alternatively using your tactical pen to stab a terrorist to death and John McClane the building. I'm John Suburban and my EDC includes a gun, a ferrorod and a tacpen with built in seatbelt slicer and window breaker (none of which I ever trained to use, but am assured will use competently after a flip over car crash into a body of water).

Which is a shame, because I think EDC stuff is cool. Little nifty tools! What do the denizens of this here website chapo.chat like for non chud EDC applications?

I'll start off with some favourites,

  • a small AA-powered flashlight by EOLite (self-explanatory I think)
  • a Gerber Dime (basically one of those small swiss army knives but the pliers are a nice touch for a lot of things, like not touching the garbage juice)
  • a keychain presta-to-schrader adapter to reinflate my bicycle tyres at any given gas station, should the need arise

Currently also building a bicycle EDC-Pouch where space isn't limited to pocket size, would love to hear what other people use.

I got one of those surly cornerbars (offbrand) and they're fucking great, would recommend to everyone. Easily the most comfy handlebars I've ever owned.

Also currently trying to piece together the perfect small size at most medium weight bicycle EDC pouch to chuck in my panniers so I can field repair my entire shit and also help other people.

Pretty sure I'll put some bar ends in there just to slap them into random bicycles so people don't core sample themselves. I am the velocipedal crusader, you will be saved from doctors having to extract a tubular 21mm cross section of yourself so they can figure out what the fuck you managed to lose because you didn't think to put 50 eurodollarcents of bar ends on your stuff.

Also it plays onto one of my major I-come-across-a-crank points, societally the trolley problem is solved: it's your fault for being tied to the tracks instead of driving the biggest trolley

It's funny. Here's some pointers off the current front page:

The FBI loses their shit over the Russian Admin of Z-Library taking a vacation

[Conceptualization] Easy - Failure: Tell them they can't have this. Make up a story about how giving away free things is making them afford lavish camping trimps in a bog. The people will rally around you.

Squee? Squee.

[Electrochemistry] Medium - Succes: Tell them about the knightly muscle mommy. The people will love to hear your thoughts. They all agree. They all want the muscle mommy knight, covered in the viscera of the enemy.

I cannot explain otherwise how so many people can nearly hit a vulnerable road user at like 20kph and then be mad when those people are quite irate they nearly just got hospitalized. Like yeah this'd be a nuisance if I was in a car, but I'm not.

Anyways give everyone not in a car a gun so they can retaliate. You may not hit the car, you may shoot periliously close, though.
