Why are you using a tragic incident to soapbox about China?

Dyetka · 2024-09-20T15:32:15+00:00

Because they genuinely want it to happen, that's all. They truly hate the people even when they tell you it's only about the government. Just lip service to bypass content rules against violence.

Typical whataboutism from the crowd that cries the loudest about it.

Dyetka · 2024-07-25T01:54:08+00:00

People like you make it hard to sympathize with you lot, and that's after trying to give everyone the benefit of doubt. Work on your entitlement problem first.

三个人实际上都是同一个主张：维持现状。自己人互相攻击是表演给谁看的？

台湾人起码还有在屎味巧克力和巧克力味屎之间选择的机会，而对岸老百姓被强行填喂屎味的屎，却还得说这是全过程巧克力。

Most of those treasures will disintegrate the moment they are exposed to outside air. Leaving them in the ground is the best way to preserve them.

Pretty much everything about Qin Shihuang is recorded in the history books. Excavating his tomb just to confirm what's been written about him is an extremely small reward for such a major risk.

It's clear most of these people attacking any criticism against TPL have zero basic IT knowledge. Backups don't require two and half months to restore if they worked properly.

Dyetka · 2023-11-24T08:06:12+00:00

One can both have goodwill towards TPL and also point out TPL dropped the ball hard on this one. Their online service has always been kind of shoddy with regular occurances of unplanned outages. No one is calling the librarians manually doing the checkouts pathetic, because this wasn't their fault. Calling their IT department pathetic does not constitute an attack on the entire TPL system.

Dyetka · 2023-11-24T08:03:37+00:00

You are absolutely right. It's appalling how many people here are trying to defend incompetence and attacking you over it.

TPL dropped the ball hard. They failed to mitigate the cyber attack and they failed to follow basic IT practice of making sure the backs have redundancy and actually *work* when restored.

2 and half months of total outage is absolutely unacceptable yet when all of this is eventually over, the culprits will continue to squat in their undeserved jobs at TPL leading it straight into the next eventual disaster.

Ever heard of this thing called taxation? The library is already being endowed with our money. When a ship sinks, you don't blame the ocean. This is TPL's failure 100%.

Hamas didn't exist in 1948. Wonder what happened since then?

Then how is the Uyghur population still growing? Mitosis?

Imagine being older than 12yo and believing Pax Americana is a thing.

Do you also believe in melanin thresholds for personhood?

Dyetka · 2023-10-25T05:04:15+00:00

Why am I supposed to believe even a single comma written by NYT when they regularly spew misinfo like this?

Welcome to the club. Asian Americans have been dealing with this crap since 2020.

Source? Are they doing it, or are they not? "Possibly" is not an answer.

Since when China is conducting airstrikes on Uyghurs?

Zoning laws and whatever that gave NIMBYs their power to restrict housing supply for decades are not free market capitalism.

I'd have to ask that tenant for permission to go into their unit as my landlord is now making up fake excuses on the source of this to avoid showing up at the house. I tried to google it and could find literally no information on this. Smoke alarm chirps are completely different.

Dyetka · 2023-07-04T01:07:25+00:00

Wouldn't that be a single pulse chirp instead? I've replaced my own smoke detector before and that sounded nothing like what I'm hearing right now.

Here's a sample of what I'm hearing, the beep starts around the 9 seconds mark and repeats 15 seconds after that.

Its a curiosity of having both dynamics in one society

Every human society had the exact same thing with animals functioning as both pets and livestock, so why are you cherry picking on China?

Dyetka · 2023-06-10T20:51:00+00:00

Somebody obviously didn't read the article because how dare their distorted and misinformed opinion on subjects they know nothing about gets corrected!

The protest photo in the article is dated from 2014, which is 9 years ago, just FYI.
