So damn tough. My plan is to retire there with my wife, and you are correct, I’ll have to stay there with no job for years, regularly renewing my spousal visa before I even have a chance at permanent residency. Thus why our plan is to retire there, cause no way I’d sit around all day while she works to support both of us. Gives me time to get fluent in Chinese in the meantime at least.

Legitimately a betrayal of his own wife, how do people think he’ll stand with them when he can’t even stand with the one person who he should stand with unconditionally.

“I’m running the largest city in the country, and you’re asking me about a tweet. Not even one that I made, nor my wife, but some third party. You are pathetic and petty people, let’s focus on helping New Yorkers.”

It’s all it would have taken.

Yeah, this isn’t anything new. Literally centuries old analysis here. I guess it’s nice they updated it for the contemporary society, though.

AI is very useful, just not in ways that are really all that profitable or public facing.

Venezuela to me feels like a sort of tacit admission that global hegemony is failing, and an attempt to reconsolidate on a smaller sphere of influence in the Americas.

They seem to be backing down on Taiwan somewhat too, while trying to maintain the status quo, which solidifies my perspective.

That’s strange, I have a friend with no internet and he used his ps4 for half a decade before ever connecting it to the network.

Flying in water for them after Ukraine stopped the flow and cooperating with international organizations to reunite children with family?

Well, the indigenous wouldn’t have been so thoroughly genocided if they hadn’t. The primary contradiction leading to the war was the British forbidding further westward settlement and the colonizers were not okay with that.

That’s called taxes. That’s literally what taxes are, destruction of currency. Go pay your taxes to the treasury in cash, they will literally shred it.

A large percentage of Chinas gdp is domestic consumption, and that percentage is growing by leaps and bounds year over year. They are moving away from reliance on export, though not there yet.

I guess it’s device dependent. —
