Should probably chew on something, that always makes the ear pain go away for me when flying

You know, name calling doesn’t work on me.

Last I checked, China was a country. I think I won whatever shitty argument this was

Taiwan is independent, and they have a lot of chip fabs. I think you have an inflated view of Chinese industry, must be all the lead in their paint.

No good reason except basic pattern recognition.

So what? China has slaves galore! A veritable slave emporium! A slave for every man woman and child. That is, if women had rights in China.

I sincerely doubt that. And last I checked, most chip fabs were not in China. There’s a lot in South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. And there’s plenty in damn near every western country. Even the Netherlands has a few.

You need to realize that countries other than China have industry.

Yeah, like slaves! America is so bad with slaves, we gave it up 150 years ago! But China, China is rolling the slaves! China perfected slavery!

My phone was made in Vietnam. And last I checked, Taiwan is not part of China.

You’re right. If I don’t buy cheap shit, I won’t get cheap shit. And since “made in China” is a byword for cheap shit, I try to avoid Chinese products.

My home was made in America. My car was assembled in America, and afaik, most of the parts came from Mexico and Japan. My microwave is Japanese. My shirt is from Taiwan. My computer is made from a ton of chips, Taiwan chip fabs. My tools are all made in America. I can go on.

Very little of what I have was made in China. Because China makes “cheap shit”. Your words, not mine.

They’ve earned their reputation.

Well yeah, or one managed it, and the others are just copying the size. It’s happened time and time again, how is this any different)

Sounds like a typical scam

I had “dev” and “notdev” once.

That’s not a coup, by definition.

It’s still bad, but coup isn’t the right term

Actually he was never convicted in a court of law. Civil court does not have the same requirements.

We still haven’t. He’s not a felon, and he’s not a rapist. You should really actually read the articles instead of the headlines.

Funnily enough, there’s been rapists in office before, like Bill Clinton, a democrat.

Skyrim. Sure, no single part is particularly good, but the whole of it is greater than the sum of it’s part.

They’re talking about the moderates on both sides. I can probably assume you aren’t.

Ergonomic is bad now? Should I throw out my ergonomic keyboard? My keyboard might assault someone!
