  • People who are born blind dream with the sensation of touch, sound, smell and taste. Basically how they experience the world when they are awake. No image but the rest intact. I imagine it's same for the deafblind except sans sound.

  • They got fairly good tracking from mobile phones

    They being China's communis party who in no way, shape or form are willing to participate in any investigation that could potentially place the origin of COVID within China's borders.

  • Or... come to Canada and Europe where you'll enjoy more appreciation, higher standard of living and not have to tip-toe around just doing your F'ing job to save lives.

  • I think the keyword here is "Waffen-SS" not "Latvian". Fascists and racists come in all nationalities. The Dutch really hate nazis, but a sizeable portion of the population aided in the holocaust regardless.

  • It's a common theme among religious and conservatives. Love towards their children is always conditional.

  • We live in a hyper-individualistic society which is self-centred. This is only exacerbated by social media, where attention and being the main character is more important than ever. The new generation is living more and more in society. Instead of being part of society. Being part of something bigger is uncommon nowadays. Which makes participation in something as extreme as a war unfathomable. If you look at countries with high levels of civil sense like Taiwan. We see school uniforms and military service. Kids are being raised to be part of a free and democratic society, not to just live in it.

  • All Chinese companies should be regarded with suspicion, based simply on the fact that independent companies don't exist in China. The CCP has their own offices and people in every company and organization of sufficient size.

    FBI wants a backdoor into iPhones, Apple says no and Tim Cooke is just fine. The richest man in China, Jack Ma, criticizes government policy holding back Big Tech domestically, he gets disappeared for 3 months.

  • In autocracies, citizens are expendable. They either take away the citizen's ability to organize against you (like in China) or provide just enough services to avoid a critical mass of discontent.

  • First time we had to worry about microscopic black holes. Now interdimensional biological organisms which somehow can survive in our nitrogen based atmosphere and climate temperature envelope.

  • No, of course it's not the sole reason, but cost of materials is a factor. Also if there is a pro-longed cease-fire in Ukraine, the amount of materials needed for reconstruction is immense and drive up prices. Meaning stockpiling cheap steel right now would make sense.

  • It deters new customers. If a particular brand of car has a target painted on it. Either for ridicule, vandalism or destruction. Who is going to want a car like that? Besides, in terms of quality Tesla has been long surpassed by the incumbents anyway.

  • This. And some people just want to post in front of a crowd. So far I like Lemmy because there's more conversation going on. And less "Look at me!" posts.

  • Awesome, we need cheap steel to fight the shortage of housing.
