Itty53, to tech in U.S., FBI Hoovering Up DNA at a Pace That Rivals China, Holds 21 Million Samples and Counting

Ah yes, rather than address your inconsistent arguments, call me a racist. Clever one you are, why didn't I think of that?

Jokes aside you can be mad all you like, you're still wrong. We can talk about the awful shit America does and has done, but it won't be the same as what China has done.

Enjoy your second year of community college.

That's a highly generalized take that doesn't hold water at all. The American government sucks but they're not operating organ farms in concentration camps targeting religions, they're not redrawing their maps to include parts of neighboring nations like Mexico and Canada, they're not funding North Korea as the DPRK launches missiles over South Korea and Japan, they don't have social credit scores, they don't systematically harass and threaten their own citizens abroad..

We can keep going if you want. And we can talk about the terrible shit America does too.

But "these two entities are both bad and therefore they do the same exact things" is fucking dumb, naive, myopic, childish, and a bunch of other pejoratives I could think of. Grow up.

Itty53, to news in Donald Trump vows to lock up political enemies if he returns to White House
@Itty53@kbin.social avatar

Nah. I still disagree. "Casual racism against Chinese people" has been a mainstay of America since the railroads were built. Probably before.

I mean Bugs Bunny comes to mind, what more casually racist and beloved character is there?

Those guys were all using coded language for decades. Many white kids pick up on that language and adopted it. All while Trump was donating to the Clintons and well before too.

The danger in attributing this all to Trump is that Trump is going to die one day, fascism in America won't die with him.

Tony Hawks Pro Skater wants you to remember it. The game that launched an entire music genre into the mainstream.

This is far, far from a first.

Thank God he didn't live to have to answer to all this.

His fascism and bigotry aren't spilling over anywhere, Trump represents a mean streak in society that's dominated by wealth, eg, fascism. It's everywhere already, that's why non-Americans are focusing on Trump. You'll note that happens in anywhere defined by "Western society". Australia included. Hell, Qanon's founder didn't live in America.

I'm not saying any of this is good or right, but don't pretend your nation's fascists will slow down because of Trump. They won't. They were there already.

The same thing was happening back before WWII. Fascists existed in America before the war. They existed here after too. And Canada. And Australia, etc.

Just goes to show, cops see cops as just badges and guns. That's the problem.

Itty53, to tech in Plastic bottles can be recycled into energy-storing supercapacitors
@Itty53@kbin.social avatar

Great, we'll have nanoplastic waste brought about by using solvent and high heat furnaces - furnaces that are totally green we pinky swear.

This just takes the eco waste and turns it into smaller eco waste by virtue of wasting more energy. I'm sure the exhaust isn't something you'll wanna breathe either.

Stop subsiding oil. It's real fucking simple.

Itty53, to news in Two former JPMorgan traders sentenced to prison for fraud
@Itty53@kbin.social avatar

Why is it JP Morgan always gets the grace in the headlines? Former employees, right. "They were caught by authorities, who told us, and we got our ducks in a row and fired them and then let them get arrested". Every time.

The steam deck is already right there at the limit with it's weight. This thing looks significantly heavier.

Also can't wait for Nintendo to sue. This article even called them "joy-cons" as if desperately calling out to Nintendo, "yep, pull that trigger".

Itty53, (edited ) to politics in [News] Ramaswamy suggests he would run government like Musk does X
@Itty53@kbin.social avatar

In case anyone is wondering, Ramaswamy is just another in a long line of the Republican history.

During the primary season you'll see rumblings of support for a relatively unknown and minority candidate for Republicans. Herman Cain was their last one. He's dead now, they needed a new one. Ramaswamy is it.

The only reason he's talked about at all is so they set themselves up to later claim, "see we're not racist! We almost elected this guy!". The reality is this guy, nor Cain, ever stood a chance. Whether or not they realize that and play their role anyway would be the thing to know.

Itty53, to news in Nickelback, Chris Brown, and other stars scored $200 million in taxpayer funds meant to keep arts groups afloat during the pandemic. They won't say what they did with the money.
@Itty53@kbin.social avatar

The truth is none of these people "did" anything. They have managers and teams of folks who handle their livelihoods in their name. I bet the majority of artists named by the article are just finding out about it today.

So no, Posty probably didn't have anything personally to do with this, but he caught the check. Same with Chris Brown and the rest.

Oh this editor knew what the hell they were doing here.

"Nevermind who did what, we can mention two of the most reviled acts of modern times in a negative light? Print it."

For the record, this also involved Post Malone, Melissa Ethridge, Smashing Pumpkins, and many many others. But let's focus of the two names that inspire the most hate.
