There’s no other choice. You can’t just think up an idealistic imaginary third option. The US or China. Choose

There are other choices. There is no forced binary. There are around 200 countries currently in existence that you can look up to and many more past countries that no longer exist that you can look up to too. Or, like me, you can not look up to any country. The perfect system doesn’t have to be already invented and in practice. Karl Marx did not look up to any countries when creating his system.

I believe that every country currently in existence has flaws and do not look up to any of them.

Killing civilians in Iraq is evil. Killing civilians in Gaza is evil. Sterilizing people is evil. The USSR and US proxy wars were evil. Installing dictators in South America is evil. None of these, however, are an attempt to erase a culture. There is a thriving hispanic culture in the US and the US government isn’t erasing it. There are thriving sub cultures for every out-group in the US.

Not that erasing a culture is more or less evil than these things. I do not engage in the ranking of atrocities. Atrocities are atrocities and I hate them all.

Erasing the culture of the Uyghurs is also evil. Sterilizing Uyghurs is evil. Invading and erasing the culture of Tibet is evil. Erasing the culture of all of China with the cultural revolution is evil. One child policy is evil.

Removing citizens’ rights to talk freely about the government and society and protest what they dislike about them is evil. Censorship is evil. I’m in the US and I said all that about the US being evil and am not going to face any consequences and my comment will not be taken down.

Not recognizing same sex marriage is evil. Someone who claims to be queer ought to recognize that and not look up to countries which don’t recognize it.

I still see those prices in texas cities (pre tax).

When was the last time the US tried to erase a people’s culture? And when was the last time China tried that? When was the second to last time China tried that? What about the third to last time?

Both countries are imperialistic in different ways. One does most of its atrocities to the citizens of other countries and one does most of its atrocities to its own citizens. Neither should be looked up to.

Your average person doesn’t know of any communication method other than mega corps.

All of this could be avoided if at&t didn’t make those logs in the first place. These logs are not necessary for their service.

Newspapers used to get delivered by people on bicycles every morning in many parts of the world, still do in some places. This dog has been chasing after the news delivery ppl and has amassed a pile of destroyed news bicycles.

Deep frying is when there’s like a bowl of oil that you completely submerge the food in.

Pan frying is when it’s just a light layer of oil.

Stir fry is like pan fry, but you stir while frying.

I’m not sure sure why English has so many lexical gaps specifically around cooking

Have you seen British “cooking”?

Makes sense. Evolution gives prey animals eyes with as wide a field of vision as possible, so they can detect predators better. Elephants are too large for predators to mess with and so is big bird.

Video at the bottom of the page shows the effects of different categories of hurricane. Might help you understand how someone who has experienced cat 3/4/5 hurricanes wouldn’t consider cat 1s terrifying anymore.

You’re forgetting the magnesium. Detectives are mag based lifeforms

Kinda dead, but there’s a community for vehicle suggestions.

This doesn’t even have to have anything to do with trans people, it affects cis women too. The current documentation assumes users are male. The changes of the MR would change that to not specify whether users are male or female.

You clearly don’t know how to read a GitHub MR. On the top menu where you see the conversations tab, you scroll to the right to see the files changed tab.
