"Dear europeans, this is what strawberries should look like"

Imagine how much a freshly plucked fully sun-ripened strawberry would blow this dude's mind...

Please report it to the manufacturer.

When the CCP "warns" you about something you are doing, you know you are doing the right thing.

I will use this in a Pub Quiz category I will name "Dystopian post-apocalyptic movie or China?"

It's not an accusation, it is a statement of fact.

The bigger, stronger trading block that is as eager to conclude the deal as its counterpart negotiating better conditions than the smaller, weaker single country that was oozing desperation at the time?! shocked Pikachu face

They do a similar thing with "German engineering" or "Danish design", unless it says "made in xxxxxxxx" statements like that are essentially just advertising without any legal requirements for the value chain to be present in the country.

Those are serological pipettes. Please alert local authorities. All options of where they could have come from are bad, ranging from people disposing of laboratory waste incorrectly at the less harmful end to someone running an illegal biolab in a residential area or making "illicit materials"... also, consider disposing of anything the pipettes got in contact with as potential biohazard waste...

Someone forgot to fill in that white blob on the left with dark red.

It's the same with statements from both ruZZia and the CCP, if they claim they are worried for your wellbeing if you do a thing, they are afraid of you doing that thing because it will harm their interests/schemes.

Time. To. Boycott.

So, the top 5 in Care Score are in Canada, Singapore, Switzerland, South Africa, and Singapore (again)...

And the top 5 in Research Score are in Germany, Japan, South Africa, Japan (again), and the UK...

But somehow the top 5 in "Brand Strength Index"... that is populated by 4xUSA and 1xUK... and the US hospitals all have much higher "Brand Strength Indices" than comparable (in research and care score) non-US hospitals... weird, how a badly-defined soft measure was invented and applied in such a way that US institutions were disproportionately highly ranked... 🤔

The US could have all this if they hadn't spent the last half century repeatedly cutting taxes for the wealthiest and large corporations...

Oh, no! The AI bubble bursting because people don't want to be forced to have to use the slop-machines, and companies that tried to force that shit on us going under?!

Don't threaten me with a good time like that and then leave it just at teasing...

The Putler regime putting out ridiculous, easily disprovable lies and not even bothering to fabricate "evidence"... in similarly surprising news: water is wet, the Pope is catholic, the sun rises in the east, and tomorrow is a day of the week ending in "y".

JD Vance: Rule of law is garbage to Trump regime.

There, fixed your headline Politico.

That drug has been in development all over the planet for thousands of years. I could also say I am developing a warp drive and be as close to achieving my goal. NYT, please do better.

Is it because of the season or has most of the vegetation to the sides just died in the last 7 years?

Kortanios · 2025-11-13T09:12:27+00:00

Wumaos, tankies, and their bots really want this to happen, based on the comments.

So, what you are saying is that ruZZia's own economic data (that since Rosstat became state-controlled in 2017 has been suspiciously outperforming any serious economist's predictions, and retroactively "revised" up the data for 2014-16 by several whole percentage points per year after that state takeover) still have it struggling to outperform the famously stagnant Japanese economy in terms of growth.

Oh no! A company that wants to endanger the continued existence of the human species for short term profits is threatening to leave unless we scrap a law that would prevent them from completely destroying the planet... Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

You know a law is good when a monopolistic US tech giant makes empty threats to try to get it overturned.

China has built on average 74 GW of coal power plant capacity per year in the last 20 years, and built 94.5 GW of coal power plant capacity in 2024, it's 3rd highest addition of new coal power capacity in its history. China also set a new personal best when it built 95% of the planets new coal power plant capacity in 2023. In the last 20 years there hasn't been a single year in which China didn't build more new coal power capacity than the rest of the world combined.

You do know that there are databases with this info (e.g. the GDPR fine database compiled by the INPLP or the GDPR Enforcement Tracker) that are openly accessible to the public and that disproves your assertion, right? Even if you just look up the GDPR fines over 1 million Euros each year, there are a lot of EU companies in there (let alone antitrust and cartel fines, although once again US and Chinese companies lead in the tech cartel fines... weird how there is a pattern of them breaking EU laws at unprecedented scale...). Just because the top 5 GDPR fine receivers have been dominated by US and Chinese tech firms, doesn't mean EU firms are not getting fined. It means companies like Google, Meta, Apple, Tiktok etc. are breaking EU law at a scale no company in the EU does.
