Typo, was supposed to be lapdog*
I think you'll find there are numerous comments around Lemmy with this sentiment.
To be fair, it's not everyone on .ml, but damn, it is a lot
And apologies for taking it out on yourself, that wasn't cool of me
This is a weird take.
Even many-roomed apartments take way less space than any-roomed single family detached homes.
We at least need to right the stupid mistake of shipping off our resources and getting barely any of the profit.
We should have nationalised our mines decades ago.
I'm still really unsure why some socialists have decided that because China carries the flag of socialism, that it means they're automatically good at everything, ever. And everything bad about it is western propaganda.
I'm a socialist, hell, I even like China in many regards, much more than many of my fellow Australians.
But damn, why so many people on Lemmy.ml stanning for them? Makes no sense.
That being said, much of the infrastructure they have, is indeed nice (all the massive amounts of coal we sell them, notwithstanding).
But there are a bunch of inefficiencies and issues.
Ya know, like any other country.
China isn't a utopia, it's a place, with good and bad points.
I think your heart is in the right place, but they're gonna know what the word is either way.
Content warnings are a valid thing, to warn you what's about to be discussed.
But totally avoiding the topic all together in all contexts isn't really possible, or good for society.
I think censoring words like rapist isn't a good idea.
Why is the right wing constantly searching for some outrage to manufacture? It's been their playbook now for like 150 years, at least.
I ate the onion on this one
It's not hard (this isn't legal advice). If you find there has been an error (intentional or otherwise), document it, send it to them in writing.
They're now fucked if they are in the wrong because now they know, and if they continue to not pay you, or threaten you job over it, they're risking a lot more than before.
Huge cars with terrible visibility should have been outlawed ages ago anyway. There's no good reason for someone's bonnet to come up to my shoulders on a fucking ute.
There's a reason why the road toll is going UP per capita in the US.
As much as it sucks for the Americans, there is a small part of me that's happy about Trump shooting themselves in their own collective foot, because maybe we'll consider diversifying our alliances a little. Instead of being America's little ~~laptop~~ lapdog.
The monarchy is a rubber stamp at best, and a foreign actor at worst (Whitlam Dismissal).
Though I agree, this year may not be the best time. Over the next decade where we cross our t-s and dot our i-s, still a totally good as time as any to become a republic.
Republic doesn't mean the USA. Thankfully.
We don't need an executive with way too much power
