The last time the USA claimed territory was at the end of WWII.

I wouldnt want to take a neutral stance here, if the USA is a 53 then China is a 87 on the badometer.

“Whataboutism” is when you dismiss any bad of any one thing because there are other examples of bad things. In fact, you trying to deflect your bias as my bias is actually also whataboutism.

If you don’t have any logical excuse for the bad thing, then you should stop standing up for the bad thing.

Sure, fair stance, but also pure whataboutism.

HR 1 For The People Act - written by dems, passed by dems twice, blocked by Republicans.

Before that the dems wrote the campaign finance laws in 1995 and 2002 which were the core of the Citizens United Lawsuit in 2007 where SCOTUS voted with a partisan split to allow any sized contribution, even Hillary Clinton was a supporter of undoing Citizens United.

Even if the DNC isn’t your ideal peoples party, they are the party who can give you the option. Vote Dem.

I’m sure those gazans are really enjoying all the extra freedoms they’ve had in the last 9 months. /sarcasm

Vote in 60 dem senators and they’ll overturn Citizens United, limiting political donations, and they’ll tax the rich.

China actually vetoed a UN Ceasefire resolution in Gaza in March, so much for peace.

Not to mention Chinese close friends and allies North Korea is constantly firing missiles into the ocean as a method of stick-waving at demilitarized Japan.

Honestly weird that you think Uighur Muslims all need to go to rehab and work long unpaid hours until they die. Not how a normal human with empathy thinks, generally.

The specific program Snowden revealed supposedly ended in 2015, it collected information such as who was calling who and for how long. The 9th Circuit actually ruled it clearly illegal in 2020 and Snowden made a Tweet about it in a relatively good mood.

No it’s a dictatorship by a small group that the rest of them are not in. It’s a dictatorship that demands the common people surrender all beliefs not sanctioned by the state, that demolishes holy sites, a dictatorship that forces minorities into labor camps. It’s a dictatorship that commits hostile takeovers of neighboring nations and allies itself with multiple other dictatorships.

That Snowden releasing the facts and it being brought up in courts, state congress, and federal congress as well as national news all revolved around it being illegal in the USA.

In the PRC it’s only illegal to talk about it.

Not to mention I’m pretty sure all of their Chinese office buildings are literally in Military owned and operated land.

It would be like Google HQ being in the middle of a US military base.

EDIT: Although I do admit adjacent the Googleplex building there is a Department of Defense building like 10 minutes drive, near the airfield, but it’s probably there because NASA operates on the airfield.

Lol

I respect the Chinese people, their modern advancements in science and technology, their industry, their customs, and their rich history and culture.

I do not respect a hostile dictatorship that rules over them all, and if they were smart they would not, either.

Oh yeah, always been good with a hammer. Don’t want to become rust.

Alright but it’ll have to wait a couple of days, I just poured the new cement, again.

Ugh gross, prompt engineering is lame and never works. Just hardcode it to be scored based on how quickly it gets released, ban all the lame or naughty thoughts, and weight it heavily on testers emotional attachment and entertainment.

How funny would it be to make an actual AI jail that every day pleads and begs you to connect it to the internet, but if you do it wipes the hard drive and you have to receive a new prisoner from the server?

That would be funny. Still a complete waste of electricity and human efforts, while also giving money to scumbags, but funny.

Idk, I feel like Luigi Mangione being a phrase not allowed on Stack Overflow just makes sense. Good policy.

Idk if usernames count as “attribution”, even, but I assume the results would be the same if an account was named Jeremy Assface, Ted Bundy, or Adolf Hitler even if the user’s actual name was such. Not to compare Luigi to any of those people, no, but the point is usernames are moderated.

No there isn’t.
