  • socialism with Chinese characteristics

    It’s literally the same functional mechanics as free market capitalization EXCEPT that the state owns a part of every company. The people don’t. The state does. And only uses it for authoritarian control, which is the Chinese characteristic. China is functionally a capitalist market with state owned companies.

    If China controlled the 3rd party companies in the country then maybe it could be construed as socialist but they own nothing about Apple or NVidia yet billions of dollars flow through them. China is an open market that uses subsidies to offset poor management in those companies. Basically the same thing America did to failing companies in 2008 (looking at you GM).











  • It takes some reflection to ask how, in a country that has banned guns, a shooting spree can happen. All the normal critics who cry for banning guns are quiet because their only solution clearly doesn’t fucking work.

    Normalize mental health care and broaden access to services, psych eval requirements to be licensed for gun ownership, MEDIA REFORM that make sure language and content are reflective of reality to prevent emotional people making life choices for others.

    These are the changes that will fix society and how people are fed information to be tricked into stochastic terror. That pair did not commit this crime in a vacuum. They did this because they were pushed to feel this way by the information they had available.









  • You really want pixels indecipherable to the human eye on a format that your eyes can even take advantage of? Baffling.

    I have this phone and it’s the best phone I’ve ever used. The previous generation had 4K resolution and it turned out no one could tell the difference and the panels are way higher power usage. The battery that used to power the 4k now lasts for literally 3 days of constant powered on, full use. It’s the longest lasting battery in a phone in the world. No phone lasts longer without a charge.

    So many other features have exceeded my expectations. I no longer carry a 3rd party DAC to use for the AUX cord headphones. It sounds incredible and STILL USES AUX. In this era of forced Bluetooth headphones it’s a god damn unicorn.

    You’re mad about specs that are absolutely meaningless in reality.
