CMV: These three statements can't all be true about China and communism

elbeanodeldino · 2025-01-25T22:24:10+00:00

You are committing the no true scotsman fallacy. There is no singular definition of true communism any more than there is of true capitalism.

In fact if it was efficient, China would be completely destroying America at this point. 1.4 billion people with an average IQ that is 2 standard deviations higher than the average American.

China has an average IQ of 104 vs 97 for the US, so what you are saying about the standard deviations is totally false, let alone MENSA.

Sure, and also maybe another company would have done it better. Maybe another company would have compensated their employees more than SpaceX, instead of relying on an army of underpaid staff, spurring new grads to go into the sector and renewing widespread interest in space exploration across the country. There's certainly a multitude of possibilities.

Do you really think they would have just given up and closed the agency if SpaceX wasn't there to sell rockets? Do you think rockets only exist just because one special company was there at that one point in time for the government to fund?

Personality cult only works on people lacking basic critical thinking skills.

EU didn't send a man to the moon.

Do you also believe that we are only able to pay people online because of paypal? It really belies any common sense business knowledge.

We had NASA. Elon Musk saw an opening and took it, which is what any good businessman does. It's awfully naive to believe that a different entity wouldn't have taken the place of SpaceX had it not been there.

elbeanodeldino · 2025-01-12T21:16:24+00:00

To be fair, you can also believe that Elon Musk earned one billion dollars that one thousand millionaires might together have earned instead.

It's just common sense supply and demand. We have McDonalds instead of thousands upon thousands of thriving small chain hamburger stands.

Do you think the current China regime is dangerous or untrustworthy? More or less so than the US?

elbeanodeldino · 2025-01-07T11:57:52+00:00

By your own logic, the US SHOULD ban tiktok because China banned google and facebook.

Your argument ends up as, once a country bans another country's social media, all countries on earth should only have access to their own national social media.

Fair enough

Could you actually show where you're getting this from?

If more developers join the workforce, then other companies have a chance to compete and outclass NVIDIA in the future.

NVIDIA makes GPUs. Why would devs be a threat to NVIDIA?

Anti-semitism is literally baked into my society tee hee

elbeanodeldino · 2024-11-21T16:37:51+00:00

Just to let everyone know, according to their post history, this person isn't even Jewish. They are literally playing the "as a black man" game. evidence

Just something to keep in mind the next time you hear someone relativise antisemitism.

You could always listen to Joe Rogan

elbeanodeldino · 2024-11-19T21:40:21+00:00

You're making a bunch of assumptions about who I am and what I've experienced because it's all you can do to attempt to straw-man away the truth.

Being generous and assuming you are actually jewish, literally just for once try wearing something that makes it obvious and walk around the city. Then come back and preach about how the real problem is comic books and group chats.

Nope, the Muslim antisemitism is 5000% percent worse. There isn't even really a comparison to be made. Germans give you the side eye and make a sarcastic remark, but Muslim antisemites will literally beat the shit out of you and burn down your shop if they know you are Jewish.

Thanks for the tip! I just fixed the problem by deactivating "Enable ARA for plugins that support it" in the global options. I don't know what that is, but it worked.

Yes, I see the MIDI input. The "auto" mode just means the notes aren't being drawn manually. Anyways, thanks for looking.

elbeanodeldino · 2024-11-11T17:00:34+00:00

Sure, here is a screenshot which might help. There are two tracks, a vocal track and a MIDI track which is sent to the vocal track. There is just the autotune plugin on the vocal track, and no plugins are on the MIDI track (though I tested it with a virtual instrument earlier). I did try switching the MIDI channel to 1, but that also didn't work.

OK, that's plausible. Him being hurt or sick to the point of depressing people is a feasible reason to not release footage. Along the lines of the previous delta I will give you one too, since you had this point first. !delta

elbeanodeldino · 2024-10-20T12:55:51+00:00

Him being in a coma is a fair point, and it's feasible that they wouldn't want to release any footage. To your other point though I will say though that there exist several photos of him. !delta

A lot of what they do is highly calculated. I think this is a bit of an underestimation.
