Mitt Romney’s wife shared this lovely story of when they were in college, they didn’t ask anything from their parents. They’d come visit and got them a nice dinner, that was it. Ann Romney had to order carpet samples and sew them together so they didn’t have to walk on bare floors. Sometimes, they were so stripped of cash that they had to sell stock to get money. They had to sell stock. SELL. STOCK.
She probably thought it was an uplifting story.
Apparently there are some Cherry MX sets from 30 years ago that are still working today. So I guess part of it is longevity, part nostalgia.
JUST ONE MORE TURN…!!!
You used Tiktok as an example for something that is more interesting than learning. (Of course it’s more interesting than learning, it’s digital crack cocaine.)
I don’t know about you, but my school did the best it could. Some adults might even say what you said about society in general - infinite resources to harm and burden, etc. People usually try their best, your teachers too. Maybe you’ll grow up to be a teacher and you’ll be better at it than the ones you had. Good luck!
Please don’t learn about how Hitler died through Tiktok. Befriend your librarian and read it in a book.
Gerade gemacht, die sind generell teurer, aber noch im Rahmen. Verschraubte Teile super, high visibility ist keine wichtige Priorität aber ein guter Plus
We’re just interested to see if there are statistics around that support your claim that
20 percent of hexbears user base is trans.
Don’t you mean, you tried to sook it up?
sorry.
No, I don’t mind you asking. When it comes to talking about race relations in Europe and systemic racism against black people in the US, especially in the US she’s of the view that Obama became president = racism solved, this she relates to how many Uyghur people are “actually in power”, like black people in the US. I still see a systemic problem.
Another one is when we talk about Taiwan. I’m of the view that a country is made up of land, people, and government, and the people should have a say in who governs them. She thinks Taiwan (and Hongkong) belongs to China because it has always historically belonged to China. Thing is, we both live and work in Germany, but I don’t think she knows which parts of Europe used to historically belong to this or that other kingdom that are now divided into different countries.
It’s the one-party system that bothers me, really. When I talk about politics to my one close-ish friend from mainland China, I often feel like she comes from an alien planet
Suuper late reply. Morals change, ethics evolve. I probably won’t be alive the day this happens, so I’ll leave with a shrug.
Before we get there, it is wise to re-examine what we lose when everything is commodified. You might not mean to sound anti-woman, but you do sound anti-woman, anti-personhood even, because what you’re saying is that a person’s body (regardless of gender and sex) and likeness can be commodified without the person’s consent, or even knowledge that it is happening. You might be interested in reading Michael J. Sandel’s “What Money Can’t Buy” and examine your fantasy from an economic-political point of view.
Where does this silly notion come from? Elon Musk also said something like anti-science, anti-merit, anti-human thing and he’s not an original thinker. I’ve read some longtermism papers, but have yet to come across this exact wording. Where did you hear it? (Please don’t say Elon, tell me you at least have the primary source…)
