Read G.E. Moore’s take on it https://uen.pressbooks.pub/knowledgeforhumans/chapter/g-e-moores-hands/

It’s a common and ultimately pointless/self-indulgent philosophical “question,” lots of good essays on it.

Lol they said “threatening violence” because it was the easiest thing to ban you with. The real reason you got banned is that you’re a psycho, man. You sound like you are saying you wish you were allowed to hurt or kill your own children, and you’re talking about them as property. That’s crazy person shit.

The shock wave needs a medium (air) to travel through. So if the bomb was touching a ship, it would certainly transfer kinetic energy, but if there was any space (not air) between them, there is still no shockwave for the ship to feel.

This joke is just swell

I have some obscure tastes and have been shocked by what I can find on soulseek

Here in the US, a huge population goes straight to their phone any time they have more than 20 unoccupied seconds. It’s just reflex for many, not sure it’s specific to any given country at this point.

Certainly not

Fair, low-risk not no risk, but a good buy

And the article you’re commenting on is about their global share of gold. So, rather than just propagandistic, I guess your pro-China rhetoric is also irrelevant here.

Not really. Globally, money still brings power. They have incredibly capitalistic international trade and relations.

Are you in the same shape you were in college? General fitness doesn’t necessarily affect your tolerance, but it definitely affects how quickly you bounce back from a rough night.

But it is your comment, the even more propagandistic one about Xi’s humble, laudable, selfless annual salary

So you’re anti-propaganda and globally aware, but still spreading CCP propaganda? Why share this article of you want people not to believe in political deception?

But when money fails (hyperinflation, sanctions, digital collapse, bank failures, violent revolution, etc.), countries who already have gold reserves will be the only ones with anything of value.

Beyond that, just by virtue of the fear of any of those events or general international turmoil rising, the value of gold rises, too, as one of very few stores of wealth that can survive any such event. Investing in gold is a great low-risk move for guaranteed returns on huge reserves.

Edit: I don’t know why people are downvoting this lol. Talk to literally anyone in finance.

That’s sorta classic supervillain logic. Doing terrible things just so someone else will have to do them too and in doing so “reveal” that they are “equally” monstrous. Israel has had some super fucked up policy for a long time, and I’m not defending that, but the approach of provoking them by committing your own war crimes knowing that it will lead to this much civilian suffering on all sides is even more fucked up.

It could be that the people’s typing (and therefore the training data) includes so many different unique movements that an “average” of all of them doesn’t actually look like any real person’s individual typing pattern. Sorta how some one-size-fits-all designs don’t fit any one person perfectly.
