  • Oh awesome, can't wait to explain how I got a porn site email.

  • New York man pleads guilty to running Chinese police station in Manhattan

    Jump

  • The US has no extradition treaty with China (or similar). So that would likely fall under spying and the "coercing a New Jersey man wanted by Beijing into returning to China" part is very much a major step over the line.

    Edit: Also jeez people, he's just asking relatively reasonable questions form ignorance, stop tearing him a new one! Being wrong shouldn't immediately be cause for such backslash.

  • New York man pleads guilty to running Chinese police station in Manhattan

  • That's the kinda logic used to defend the upper class. "What did he really do?" Hyper focusing on specifics, rather than the actual act.

    Acting as a foreign agent, directly operating under the orders of a foreign government under the jurisdiction of a sovereign country is a bit of a no go. No matter if it's China or not. We here in Europe have similar events with American spies every dozen years (and Russian and Chinese too ofc).

    The stuff you mention about handing out valid Chinese IDs is mostly irrelevant flavor text. It's iffy maily because it was an unofficial station in the eyes of the US. Official embassies fulfill such roles too without issue.

  • It's definitely the straws

  • This is always a clash when I end up talking to my parents. My home country is slowly falling apart economically and they're completely fucking blind to it. Especially ironic cus one of em is a fucking portfolio manager.

    Like when I even mention that affording anything it getting worse and worse each year, while the rich consistently break income records, they derail the discussion by saying like "but don't you have it great tho" (I earn well above average and still feel the pressure, THAT'S THE POINT) or mention that some rich assholes renovated some random castle and that without him it would juts be a ruin and that's sad or some shit.

    And we aren't even getting that political yet. Just saying "hey mom, my future be looking unsustainable".

  • Too many adds are the one to guarantee I'll leave and never come back. Adds are fucking hostile and only serve to bleed society dry.

  • Omfg, it finally dawned on me. The reason the stocks when up when Trump got elected. These fucking ghouls really see any excuse to increase prices as a win. Jesus fucking christ... There's no stop until enough people will literally drop dead.

  • For fucks sake, this is how tankies are born. Fucking stop it!

  • Donald Trump gets bad news about his tariff plan from Americans in new poll

    Jump

  • How's this news? That's literally what MAGA was selling the entire time. The so called "Temporary Hardships". They promised and they're going to deliver some economic hardships, that was the sales pitch and people voted for it. Anybody shocked is just not paying attention.

  • Not voting. If we combine harris and non voters we get a similar number to the poll. Of course that's a major simplification, but it still has something.

  • Schools are cutting bus service for children. Parents are turning to ride-hailing apps

    Jump

  • Shortage of bus drivers solved by a fleet of regular drivers. Lol. I'm at a lose for words at how badly managed the US is.

  • Non-English Names

    Jump

  • Aye, it's curious how one's upbringing affects their hearing. The Americans I interacted with can't tell the Czech P and B apart. Which I find fucking weird as mixing them up in Czech results in absolute gibberish. Probably similar to how TH and F sound the same to me.

  • F these, even in urban England

    Jump

  • Same here in Prague. When parallel parking, sometimes these cars are so fucking wide, that even tho there's more than enough space behind em, it's still impossible to navigate around their fat fucking ass, and by the time I'm finally behind it I'm at a 90 degrees.

  • How tankies and MAGAts view the Ukraine war

    Jump

  • Fair, but it misses the trees for the forest. The US already pays WAY more for healthcare than any other country. The money is literally there, just mismanaged. While I feel your frustration, simply cutting aid to allied countries won't change anything domestically.

  • How tankies and MAGAts view the Ukraine war

    Jump

  • Citation needed.

    The Ukranian constitution has no amendments even mentioning NATO.

    And Zelenky demanding nuclear weapons is a recent development. So not "tried" but "trying right now". Not even the Russians claimed such prior.

    And I don't watch MSNBC or whatever else "msm" is supposed to be. Bold of you to assume I not only watch American news, but also a specific broadcaster. That's got to be like a less than 50% chance.

  • How tankies and MAGAts view the Ukraine war

    Jump

  • The idea of Ukraine joining NATO was literally unimaginable before Russian aggression. After the fall of the soviet union there were multiple agreements like the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Ukraine and Budapest Memorandum that basically established Ukraine as a sovereign and neutral nation under the protection of the west and east. Even after Russian interventions in Ukraine and finally the taking of Crimea, NATO members like Germany were still vocal about never letting Ukraine in.

    Also if Russia truly cared about NATO expansion, how come we barely hear anything about Finland and Sweeden? I occasionally even forget they're a part of it now.

  • Syria is quite a long ways from China. Makes me wonder how serious they are. Then again, such operations aren't a foreign concept in the middle east, so what do I know?

  • Do you really enjoy throwing out meaningless quips? I'm genuinely curious since I don't see any engagement, but a surprising amount of replies.
