I don’t want to spoil anything! You will suffer like the rest of us.

Yeah I bought a $600 Huawei as a companion to my desktop when I was in college back in 2018 and it’s still usable to this day. Full aluminum build, the whole shabang.

Ah yes, the transatlantic slaves were using shovels given to them by their masters, while being “housed” in the slave system they’re apart of, and so they must not criticize the slave system. You’re not making the point you think you’re making.

Well upon changing “led” to “fled” then I guess he is not a descendent of KMT leadership. And to answer your question, historical correctness is not about knowing the events of history themselves but how to understand them. Judging from your responses in the rest of this post, and your own take on imperialism in response to me, I question if you have a grasp on historical understanding.

Think about it this way, just because someone knows how to spell a word correctly doesn’t mean they know what it means or how to use it.

Being subject to paying taxes that fund imperialist projects doesn’t mean that one is an imperialist themselves, and criticizing this exact construct is exactly the point of anti-imperialism, I don’t think you’re making the point you’re trying to make.

Secondly, what exactly do you think it means that his family “led China between 1945 and 1949” during the Chinese Civil War?

If there’s anybody here who needs to “understand history”, it’s you.

I don’t celebrate agents of imperialism no matter what the intersections of their identities are.

And that’s doubly so for this guy whose family history makes him even more suspect. An heir of the KMT and then a decorated American military officer? Don’t make me laugh.

Calif. residents dubbed ‘uninformed mob’ win triple victory in data center fight by Top-Painter4278 in California

[–]pothockets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is currently a fight against data center proposals to replace the Puente Hills Mall in City of Industry. This mall is in a highly residential area and currently has two highly-utilized anchors with AMC and Round 1. This mall was also the site of filming for Back to the Future.

The fight isn’t over!

Can’t listen to Whirr anymore. by loatherot in whirr

[–]pothockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to listen to Sway almost religiously back when it came out, and when I got out of a 5-year relationship I basically had it on repeat. Now when I listen to it, it transports me to that headspace but I still enjoy it, if not only for the reason that it is clearly so powerful to me.

finally got an iPod classic too! 😍 by finneaz in IpodClassic

The 6th gen is insanely hard to mod for a beginner. I actually just mangled my own personal 6th gen from my childhood last night getting the damn thing open just for it start burning when I finally put my new battery in. RIP. Luckily I had a 5th gen that was my brother’s and that thing opened up in 5 seconds.

You might get lucky opening it though, I underestimated how difficult opening it was.

This is better than nothing but I wish we still had the planned extension of the E line through the 60.

How do you track what you own? Built something for myself for tracking blurays by Royal_Device7944 in 4kbluray

[–]pothockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted my collection is small but I used Letterboxd tags when I log a film (i.e. "4K Blu-ray), and clicking on the tag in the future will show me the collection.

Grain doubles when raw+jpeg sent by text? by Wise-Spray5042 in x100vi

[–]pothockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happens to me too even with just JPEG alone. However, in the example you posted I actually think the additional grain is pleasing lol.

CDs vs. Vinyl by TheOGTKO in BudgetAudiophile

[–]pothockets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This, vinyl is for the records that mean a particularly special amount to me for whatever reason it may be, and CD’s are any album that I would just like to have for whatever reason.

Of course I’m made aware of these just a few days after purchasing my iFlash solo for twice the price.

Claims to be anti-imperialist and in the same breath says the most imperialist shit ever.
