koreader is my goto reader, on my tablet and phone. The interface is a bit unintuitive, but once you get it set up to your liking, it’s a great reader.

As I read somewhere recently, there is good weird and bad weird. You know which is which by how the target reacts. Almost all my friends are weird. Good weird. Except for Steve.

I just use Telegram with friends and family as an alternative to sms. I’ll have to ask if any of them are selling drugs, because it would be handy to have a connection.

Is this a meme? I mean, it seems more like a factoid.

Here’s another quote from last month:

China still has “many problematic laws and policies” regarding the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region two years after the UN human rights office, OHCHR, published a report on serious violations against the Uyghur and other predominantly Muslim communities, a spokesperson said on Tuesday. -https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/08/1153621

Like I said, it’s not hard to find damning info, despite Chinese autocratic crackdown on free press and news. Then again, I figured you’d try to discount the source no matter what came up or where it’s from. I get it. You’re some strange China apologist. A disgusting stance from someone who is so quick to damn one genocide, but excuse others. And seemingly ignores even others. I’m done with you and your “genocide denier” (to quote you) idiocy.

It’s not hard to find evidence, Mr. The-genocide-I-care-about-negates-all-other-genocides-taking-place. It’s freaking hilarious to be spuriously called a denier, buy someone actually denying a genocide. That was the laugh I had, and continue to have.

Uh-oh. I don’t think taking away their main supporter will make magats very happy.

LOL.

15k of them were Hamas terrorists. More civilians die in every war and that’s really fucked up. And do you really not believe the Uyghur genocide is a thing?

It’s not “single issue voting”, it’s having a moral baseline.

Sounds like both could be true at the same time.

What, do you think you’re so smart? Think you’re some rocket scientist?

Yes

…sorry

A topic guaranteed to bring out the fringe wackos and helplessly naive single-issue voters. I wish OP had used “gaza” or “hamas” or something along those lines so that my keyword blocker would have caught this.

I’ve thought that since Russia first invaded. Really feels like the US is just trying to bleed Russia for as long as possible.

Whatever book I’m currently reading.

Isn’t that a Dodge?

If they died after being in pain for days after a fall, that’s pretty concerning. If they just died of old age, then I don’t see the issue, aside from the general health issues that thrive off dead meat hanging around.

Doublethink is the ability to hold two contradictory beliefs at the same time, a result of political indoctrination by the Party. - source, as if needed

On one hand, I think 1984 would be pretty fun to teach now. On the other, I remember dealing with dipshit parents before I retired, so probably not.

I so love the idea of giving billionaires a plaque when they hit one billion, then take away 95% of their wealth and having them start again. A forced prestige system.

Wow. That is pretty fucked up.
