It’s not, it’s an AI grift. The marketing material is GenAI, the images are GenAI, and the tech claims that the fabs themselves are “AI powered”.

Eat my fucking shorts. A chip fab isn’t a fucking modular trailer, it’s a generational factory that has the institutional knowledge and skill of multiple generations of workers. The fact that Intel couldn’t get one up and running and even TSMC can’t get one running in the US at a profit should tell you all you need to know.

Some microscope monopolist isn’t gonna come in suddenly and “disrupt” one of the most delicate, high level manufacturing sectors in history with some Sketch Up drawings and buzzwords.

“Boys will be boys” is always used to cover up the most heinous crimes, but it’s because they don’t see women as people. They do however see property as more than human.

I grew up in a very conservative community, but was like 5 when Iraq happened. I had an Iraqi neighbor and they’re daughter was in my kindergarten and constantly bullied for being Iraqi. I didn’t get it, she was nice. Then I just kept pushing back against everyone I knew as I started learning more and became a “humanist atheist” in middle school which really endeared me to the Christian school I went to.

Just kinda floated around libertarianism for a while because I didn’t know any better and had no one to teach me.

After I dropped out of college and got a job I tried to understand politics more by reading news and became a bit of a lib, though I still disagreed with them on a lot of things. Then I got a job delivering pizzas with a bunch of communists and finally got exposed to Marx and Lenin and Parenti. Turns out I was a communist all along and just didn’t know lol.

He’s just doing what Trump and Bibi have been doing for years. They openly comment about killing him, now he’s openly saying they can be killed back

Oh yeah, just mainly meant it’ll probably be pretty difficult to find them because the radiation is gonna be localized to within ~20m of the barrels right?

Isn’t water really good at absorbing radiation?

If I could replace all corporate propaganda for propaganda that was reminding you to stay healthy and contribute to your community, I’d be happy

Death Death to the IDF, Free Free Palestine

Funnily enough that’s actually one of the reasons so many people feel like there’s something off in all the photos, or that it’s all fake. Literally no context for what an industrial society without need for constant advertisement looks like.

I like how the sequel managed to expand on the first game in a way that felt natural. Having to maintain and manage a crew and ship while also juggling all the relationships of the belters and running from the repo man just feels like the next step after helping to restore the Eye

The whole point of memes is to have a unified language for thoughts and emotions that are difficult to explain succinctly thought text. In person conversations don’t have the limitation of text, so you get the opposite effect.

Both Citizen Sleeper games are fantastic. The story pacing is great. Be warned that you can softlock yourself really easily in 2 at the very beginning if you go straight to the big mission.

Once you get the flow though, it’s pretty easy to maintain the good path. One slip up can snowball you to a fail state though

They’re also using their own RISC architecture which is neat, it’s supported by the Linux kernel and the computers I see listed for sale using it are all running distros based on Fedora 21 or just straight Fedora 28

Now I’m actually curious what the real story is, there’s something happening here, but it’s pretty clearly just being used as propaganda in this article.

The cop saying “you should have known you’d get in trouble for publishing this” should make it pretty obvious that whatever they were publishing specifically is likely very different from the standard “Boy Love” genre.

I’m kinda leaning towards the content in question containing explicit stories about young boys, but without the police reports or source material we can’t know

Edit: Here’s clip from that first article she links

It is worth noting that in the past, those who dared to try out such “sensitive” TV series were small-time actors who were neither famous nor famous, but now the gay dramas have gathered famous actors and big productions. Industry researchers believe that the entry of leading companies and leading artists indicates that gay culture is moving from subculture to the public eye, and these signals are milestone events in the history of the development of domestic gay culture.

…

“Male-male CP (pairing)” and “male sex economy” are new themes in the entertainment market. Now “selling homosexuality” has become a common phenomenon in the industry. The so-called “selling homosexuality” means selling “rotten culture”, and “rotten culture” refers to a subculture that is fantasized by the audience and is between men, with ambiguous or love stories as the main content.

…

In recent years, the academic community has paid attention to and studied the impact of danmei culture on the gender cognition, marriage and love views of young people. For example, the article “Analysis of the Current Status and Influencing Factors of Sexual Identity of Some Adolescents in Hunan Province” surveyed the sexual identity of 1,260 adolescents in the province and found that 2.9% of boys considered themselves homosexual, 4.9% considered themselves bisexual, and 12.4% were uncertain about their sexual identity; for girls, the proportions were 2.4%, 12.4%, and 14.3%, respectively. 37.5% of people knew about “danmei” or “fan fiction”, of which 32.3% said they “liked” it, and 11.9% said they admired the same-sex love described in literary works.

I think what’s happening here is that the “Rotten Culture” is being conflated with homosexuality in general. I’m not sure exactly what the subgenre is, but it seems like it’s more about pornographic material than anything. If homosexuality was so condemned, I don’t think you’d have a massive industry rush to invest tons of money into gay focused media. You definitely wouldn’t have almost 25% of young people respond that there either gay, bi, or unsure if there was serious consequences to saying that.

I think they just mean the supply chain is entirely domestic.

How is there a harsh crackdown while also massive department store sized place to buy merch and books? Why didn’t they mention the 12 books that were censored? They did mention that publishing rules on that Taiwanese platform were more lax, is this crackdown on LGBT or on the fact that they were publishing though the ROC? Or was the content of what they were publishing though that house maybe not exclusively LGBT and possibly something else?

The whole thing smells a little fishy with the “this genre is being heavily censored, but is also still widely available, but the ones being censored are definitely being censored for the genre” line.

They were partially correct in that your service provider knew what you watched and would use that information to influence what other shows were made.

Now it might as well be a sentient person watching you since there are thousands of data points captured constantly that build algorithmic content mills based on how you interact with the people in the TV.

Ugh that’s a nightmare. Everyone in my family is in generics and pays cash so it’s a “manageable” $300-$400/month for us to stay alive. Some of the non-generic scrips are insane.

Try going to the pharmacy and asking to pay cash. Don’t tell them you have insurance. The cash price is sometimes insanely cheaper, like $150-$200 cheaper in this case.

I can usually get an Albuterol inhaler for about $50 cash.

Also don’t be afraid to shop around and ask a few places what their cash prices are on things.
