Well, you managed to make an even less intellectual comment as a reply, so kudos for that achievement.

So your position is that their system is “Fascist Corporatism,” but also… that’s fine, actually?

Great point. That was a mistake from my part. So what China is doing is indeed not fine at all, even though it kind of works for them.

I mean if we were to sort of steelman this thing, there sure can be database relations and queries that hit only 60k rows but are still hteavy as fuck.

I’ve used local hard drives from like 1992 and I have never ever gotten them to overheat.

I’ve yet to find any such person who’s actually willing and capable to engage in a discussion of “what should they do/have done economically” as opposed to just bashing them.

I didn’t say they weren’t doing fine or that they shouldn’t be doing what they’re doing.

I just said that they’re not communists. This is not a bad thing! But lying about it is of course somewhat distasteful, especially for those people who think themselves as being communists.

What does it mean though? China’s gini coefficient is higher than Europe’s, and they have a growing number of billionaires.

What do they do in China, exactly? It looks like single-party fascist corporatism. If it’s communism, why do they have a rising number of billionaires and worse conditions for workers than many european countries?

Fascism vs communism is a prime example of a false dichotomy.

Sir, this is lemmy. Moderate politics are highly upvoted and deeply resented here.

Yeap. Too late to sell now.

Arr, matey.

Bonjour.

Check out Revolt. They’re trying to mimic Discord.

https://revolt.chat/

Discord sucks but this might be easy money if you join at the very start.

I don’t personally understand why people want to use it, but if you’re one of those people, https://revolt.chat/ might be a great alternative. They’re open source (at least for now).

I don’t think it’s complicated. People are in fairly small cliques, and social contagion is real. In the relatively happy case it turns you into a woman or something, in the worst case it turns you into a planet-destroying asshole.

Yeah, Kia EV6 is on my list, but I haven’t gotten around to test driving it yet. EV9 seems way too big for our needs.

Yeah that’s the number one reason I’m looking at other cars right now. So you could say I have some feelings about that.

THEYRE NOT GOOD

I’ve heard mixed stuff, like some people saying it’s plastic and stuff

This is mostly true. I cannot say if it’s more or less plastic than competition. Doesn’t seem that different to my non-car-experienced eyes.

and only serviceable via Tesla if things go wrong?

I don’t think this is true.

I’m sure there’s a bit of subjectivity and having gotten used to it. But the ones I’ve tried as replacement for my Model Y so far haven’t impressed me.

It’s too bad that the sensible areas of US are on both sides of the continent. Would make a split much simpler if they were closer together.
