I'm ngl he looks exactly like what I expected.

I still don't understand how some people find this controversial given how important mobile devices are to people now.

Just watch as the media and idiot politicians focus on them being trans instead of being a fucking Nazi.

In normal times, a clause preventing the jet from just being given to the president wouldn't be necessary. Unfortunately, these are not normal times. Even more unfortunately, because it was just a clause preventing the jet from being given to him after his term ends that got shot down rather than the Republicans straight up voting to give it to him, there is absolutely zero chance MAGA people will see something wrong with this.

I don't think that number is surprising. Living in China e.g. 40 years ago would have sucked, so as mentioned in the article you posted, living conditions have basically continuously improved for people. I expect that number will drop in the upcoming decades (although IDK to what extent). It's worth noting the studies were basically pre-COVID.

Also, pointing out that China has other political parties is worthless since they basically can't do anything.

I find it sort of amusing that your example for the UK is the Online Safety Act given that China has the GFW. Like, I find the Online Safety Act problematic (along with a number of other things the UK has done), but the scale is barely even comparable lol.

It takes 0 effort to find other sources if you actually try to look this sort of stuff up. I feel like you've basically decided the answer and are just looking for people to validate your opinion.

Whenever I hear about shit like this I wonder if I should just start a company and package free software lol. Could like donate a bunch of the profit to the actual projects.

“Thank God, we are wiping out this evil. We are pushing this population that has been educated on ‘Mein Kampf.'”

I literally do not understand how someone can say this with a straight face when you're talking about wiping out a group of people based on ethnicity/religious beliefs.

I like how they're doing shit like this and the bitcoin wallet (that last I checked didn't even support lightning) instead of, you know, improving stuff people actually care about.

I like how no one actually reads the article that's posted.

What I said was literally from the article. This is about an association of governors, not parliament.

Also, I'm assuming you're talking about Sanseito, which does not have a majority. The recent election just gave them more seats (which isn't great obviously, but is very different from them controlling parliament). Note that when I say "more seats," I mean it went from 1 to like 15 or something out of 250 or so.
