As a cohort people seemed to have moved within the far right cohort. However asking individual people you get plenty of people that went from pvv to d66 or pvda. Which seems absurd in terms of policy but just proves most people have very shallow understanding of politics. Similarly NSC people seemed to have gone to almost all parties, mostly CDA (s expected) but also D66, JA21, PVDA, VVD, etc…

Brazil showing the USA how to act

Mostly agree, but;

The reality is that if China stops supplying the world with stuff, we’re fucked

The entire world relies on China’s cheap and available “stuff”, and it encompasses everything

I think is more their engineering expertise than cheap manufacturing. Cheap manufacturing can be easily moved to other countries as is already happening in India and Vietnam among others. However China has big expertise in high tech/large scale manufacturing in many areas like electronics, batteries, EV’s,… that doesn’t move easily.

However for those engineering domains China also strongly relies on other countries. In our world you can’t do everything alone.

Generally is extra competition not a good thing for customers?

This makes Christians sound like magical fairy creatures XD

If only they were real…

Calm down, you could have just said “yes the left should be worried but no need to panic” and all would be well.

I don’t think German citizenship is why Americans would want to move to Germany.

Wait his bet is that trump would fight for him? Trump? The person that notoriously cares only about himself?

I think it’s worrisome because if hobbyist can do this, imagine what professionals with more time and money can do

IMO the way to prevent such a scenario from happening is not by blocking Meta, but by inviting equally large competitors to join the fediverse. The described tactic can only work if you have close to a monopoly.

They’re right though. Top of the line software for certain domains (CAD, photoshop) just doesn’t exist for Linux. As much as I would want it to be.

Yes

How come that one shitty device has a range of steps rather than a single number of steps?

I was pronouncing the una like tuna and could not figure it out

Exactly what I was thinking of! 😂

Why does the toilet look like video game toilet?

I thought you wanted the job? Yet you intent to walk away from their offer?
