Yes in the sense that all communist countries are state capitalism, no in the sense that it betrays the very ideology of communism.
If you think about it it’s very much the same structure as a big business, with the “boss” at the very top, the party being the shareholders and executives swallowing all the profits and at the bottom are all the workers getting the shaft.
The main differences with normal capitalism is that the state here has an army, police and a full monopoly, so the party can literally do whatever they want to whoever they want within China. They don’t play by the rules, they write the rules, ie, a capitalist wet dream.
Fantastic video on how synthetic diamonds are being made and the advancements in the industry:
Call It like it is, Nazis can’t be trusted, and Putin is a Nazi
I’m sorry to hear that, but yeah, heroin is one hell of a drug ^/s
I bet you also sleep with a heavy blanket as if it were winter.
I got sick last time I was in the US cause everywhere was like 16°C while outside was like 30-35°C. What’s your problem, people?
I don’t know where you are from, but I’ve been to the US a couple of times and I can understand why the AC power bill can be absurd there. You cannot keep, in August, in the middle of the desert, AC at 18°C when outside there are 35-40°C. It’s criminal on so many levels.
I had a layover in Atlanta last summer and I got home sick, so much was the air conditioning in the airport and in shops and restaurants. Outside it was proper sweating hot, inside I was freezing while wearing a hoodie. I’ve been on a bus where the driver was wearing a heavy jacket, in August, and all because the bus AC was set to something like 15°C. What is wrong with Americans?
Keep AC at 25-27°C, remove all blankets and clothes when you go to sleep, and I bet you it will consume a lot less energy. Unless you live in the Death Valley, in which case, good luck.
It really depends on where you are. There are places where summer is the same temperature as some other place’s winter.
Also, I hate the fact that in winter you have to stay inside all the time, there’s no sun and everything is cold and sad. Spring and Summer are the times of the year when you travel, go out, enjoy nature and make memories.
And if you have a decently insulated home or AC, you can sleep great.
If you have time then try working out and doing sports. It sounds asinine, but I’ve found that exerting yourself increases your levels of energy in the long term. Even something small, a little bit at a time will be greatly beneficial. Also try doing it with someone else and try having an active social life that will motivate you to go out of the house and stop spending all the evening alone on the couch watching YouTube (which is really detrimental, ask me how I know it).
Like the Romans said “mens sana in corpore sano” (you need a healthy body to have a healthy mind)
It’s like sex education and education about drugs and alcohol. It’s necessary information for kids, even if you don’t want them to do it, because if they don’t know anything about those things, they’ll end up with lots of problems.
Teach them how, why and why not, be honest and then trust them to make an informed decision on their own
Well, that would make some very interesting “consenting” cheese.
Love me some queso de mamacita
Or how people care soooo much about babies lives until they leave the uterus . After that, they can go die for all they care.
The same reason why Iran sent drones and missiles while warning Israel that they were going to do that beforehand. Symbolic act without causing an actual escalation.
40k a year is very much a different amount in various parts of the world, and even of the US. Regardless, if accommodation is already taken care of, it’s not a bad amount in lots of places (just maybe not NYC or SF)
I mean, when you stop and think about it, you’ll realize that it’s probably all a giant mafia, and she crossed the wrong people the wrong way. There’s no way on earth that someone can disappear 10% of a country’s GDP without anyone knowing.
There’s certainly corruption all the way to the top. Everything is controlled by one party, including the banks. Everyone knew for certain
So you are telling me that we should give them housing, a stable and guaranteed job and a secure income in line with the nation average? Man, I might start thinking about stealing millions, worst it can happen, I’m better off than now. /s
It’s like those Russian policemen arresting that lady who went to red square to support the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Everyone’s a Nazi unless they repeat the propaganda like parrots, and even then…
bit, Nibble, Byte, Word, doubleword, longword, quadword, double-quadword, verylongword, halfword
They check all Imperial criteria:
That’s YOUR point of view. None of the major Christian sects think that afaik.
You can make a religion out of that!
