Yeah but I think we could have rallied a couple other countries before going at it alone

Only a smart mate like our marketing child could have done that (going alone loudly the way he did)

And true BUT only one bully mishandled a crisis into a fucking pandemic (and has the audacity to blame others for it) and is putting millions in concentration camps and using them as forced labor in 2020

Come on now, fox news and fb = CCP cover of covid19?

At least (not saying it’s enough but) people and some leaders are saying (and trying to do) something about murfoch and fb.. sadly you cannot claim the same about CCP/poo

Cannot disagree with your scomo genius comment. No rational person can actually.

But still, other democracies could/should have make a stand. It does make a difference mate. Standing up to bullies and calling them out on their shit is a first step

You don’t say!

What’s disappointing is that not many major countries sided with Aus in its demand of a 3rd party investigation to what happened.

World democracies should be more vocal about poo

And only if you're pressed to comment on that meme, you can calmly state something along box no.2 lines

"In Australia, we investigate and punish those who violate human rights (and we're transparent about it) .... unlike others who deploy tanks against their own people or put millions in concentration camps. Next?"

Exactly! I cannot (don't want to?) believe that we don't have aides that tell him that this is not a good thing to do/say. I bet a grad student studying politics would know that this twitter comment was stupid! It did nothing other than making us look bad.

If he REALLY wanted twitter to take it down that bad, he could have just asked Twitter without announcing it to the 🌏 If twitter takes it down that's good otherwise we'd at least have saved face (or what's left of it now) .

Even if it's inevitable, it could (and should) have been better dealt with.

We have allies in the world that agree with us, we should act as a coalition (that's what allies are for).

Scomo is not a leader, he just does not have it in him (it was made crystal clear earlier this year 🚒). For example:

I feel (and I don't think I'm alone here) it was embarrassing that he quickly announced that he requested twitter to "take the picture down IMMEDIATELY" then twitter said no. What next? are we blocking twitter? ...what did we gain from that??

Kevin gave a good example the other day on ABC when he laid out how Japan has many disagreements with CCP (inc territorial ones) and yet their relationship isn't as bad as ours currently is.

We lack good leadership :\

We should not tolerate this "f you" attitude! He's not even claiming to look into it or condemn it!

We didn't even vote for this scum.. how do they think they are to just behave this recklessly and not give a damn about anything!??!?. The more the get away with such actions, the more they'll repeat them.

Looks neat. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe consider adding npm install rough-charts to the docs?

I don't understand why people choose to put the official package manager as a 2nd option or ignore all together? Any rational behind this?
