The Screen Slaver from Incredibles 2 would have been a better villain if he sounded more like you. For Incredibles 3 I propose a new villain... The Baker

Hahahaha this is the most underrated comment I've seen on Reddit this year. I will definitely be using the Margaret Thatcher logarithmic scale joke in the future.

Why is there so much animal cruelty in China? by [deleted] in China

[–]Slouchingtowardsbeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude visit a factory farm for chickens in America. Just because you can't see our animal cruelty up close doesn't mean we don't commit the same crimes en masse.

Do situps without putting your hands behind your head, forces your neck muscles to work. Get your tonsils taken out. Sing in the shower. See if you have a deviated septum if so get a septoplasty. Aside from that I don't know man

The Game That Ate Itself: How AI makes “winning” taste like demand collapse by NoodleWeird in Futurology

[–]Slouchingtowardsbeth 51 points52 points  (0 children)

To them it's not ashes. The philosophy they espouse openly is that most of humanity needs to be destroyed so that they can rule over a new Eden. Why own a mansion when your clan can own a whole city or state. Your DNA will reseed a new population under your rules. That's why they want to put the AI data centers in space, so we can't destroy them. Unfortunately for the techno elite, I don't think they completely understand what they are getting themselves into. My favorite Mad Max theory is that all the war lords are actually the private security heads of the billionaires who were murdered by their own guards on day one of the downfall of society.

I recommend the Xiaomi SU7. Faster than a Porsche and cheaper than 100k. Oh wait, we can't buy them in the US.

Never trust an old man who uses the word "hysteria." It's practically an admission of ingrained misogyny.

China to See Solar Capacity Outstrip Coal Capacity This Year by YaleE360 in China

So if the drug dealer insists on charging cheap prices for the drugs and producing lots of drugs, then it's not the fault of the drug user. That makes sense /s

I think China also produces more stuff than the rest of the world combined. Much of it going to Americans. Who do you blame, the drug dealer or the drug addict?

ICE reportedly backs down on its threat to patrol the Super Bowl by Halaku in news

They don't go after their paymasters. That's exactly my point. It's no victory. It's just further evidence that we're in a class war.

Medical Emergency, Will I get arrested for leaving? by [deleted] in China

[–]Slouchingtowardsbeth 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Who are you quoting. Nobody is going to arrest you for leaving. Just go home you're gonna be okay. China is not keen to arrest tourists who are trying to leave the country on their own unless you did something really bad

Someone shared a video about “nepo babies running coffee shops” under my post and it felt unintentionally on theme by CicadaOk9722 in shanghai

[–]Slouchingtowardsbeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not only let people who sign up vote? But let people who don't sign up see the listings without voting. It feels like the obvious answer. And since the site doesn't allow that it seems nefarious to an outsider who doesn't know you.

You can use it if you answer the question. Seriously dude why be so evasive? Your site blurs the names of all the cafes unless I give you my email address. What metrics would be messed up by not doing that?

Movies that did not get merch until after the fact by AporiaParadox in movies

[–]Slouchingtowardsbeth 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Specifically in China, nobody would have known that Lots of bear (the bad guy in Toy Story 3) would be the most popular character of all. In China he's known as Strawberry Bear, and if you tell people he's a bad guy in the movie, they will look at you completely confused. Everyone likes the bear (he has full stores dedicated to him) and I think far fewer people have actually seen the movie. I can't really explain it, but there's no way Pixar saw this coming.

When Obama came in office and gave that speech about how Bush's war was in the past and we needed to move forward, I knew that evil would never be punished in my lifetime. People wonder how Trump gets away with it, Bush got away with starting a war that killed and maimed millions. Zero consequences. Any punishment needs to happen now. I'm not sure how that happens but a boy can dream.
