It’s not a private sector over there, the government owns part of Tencent (or something similar, don’t quote me).
I was surprised to hear of their ban in the first place, given how big MTX are in China.

There was a short segment on 60 Minutes (maybe?) back in 2020 before the elections where they interviewed someone who had deprogrammed himself from Qanon.
It was the same story. He had no friends IRL, no social support, he had turned his mom onto Qanon and she was still down the rabbit hole.
He said that was the part that kept him in it for so long, even once he started questioning things. All his “friends” and close relations were part of the cult and he would have to cut ties with everyone or worse, they would turn on him and attack him as a traitor.
It would be sad if these online-cults weren’t so damaging to society.
List your top 5 worst presidents.
I think them and Moderna turned the money down because they’d have to share the patent with the government. Trump offered them money, they didn’t take it.
Same. I finally got into reading which I’ve been regretting not doing for years. I’ve read 5 scifi novels in the last few months and just dipped my toes into the Discworld series with Mort. I’ve gotten a lot of use out of my kid’s library card lately.
Whenever i find myself doom scrolling lemmy like i would reddit, I’ve gotten in the habit of putting my phone down and reading a chapter of whatever is nearby.
He lost at the height of his popularity. Now he has loser stink, nevermind all the embarrassing criminal charges and him convincing his base their votes don’t matter. On top, they blew through their campaign funds too early in the last election, and reports are his campaign’s already going broke from him dipping in to fight court cases.
The public doesn’t want him and the money doesn’t want him. If he’s the Republican nominee, I’d actually be fairly confident in a Dem win.
Their money isn’t worth shit since the invasion. Having no particular knowledge on the subject, i can’t imagine they’d be doing much bribery the last few years. These people are otherwise compromised, or what i think more likely, Russia just helped start the culture war fire, and we’re fanning the flames ourselves.
I doubt this charlatan gives a damn about Russia or Ukraine, he’s just being a contrarian because that gets you a sizable base of voters now.
The comments here have made me realize NFT’s still need a snark sub. I’ll join, you’ve got plenty of content here to start with.
You’re gonna be offended on behalf of NFT’s?
Another post about this where people didn’t read the article, but jump to anti-American conclusions. This story is about American politicians arguing semantics. The article says that America does contribute to a fund that was agreed upon by many countries in a summit in Egypt. Whether that is fair is debatable, but America is paying in to it.
Every country is refusing to use the term “reparations” because it implies legal guilt, and no country wants to get “sued” by the world.
Again, this is a pointless argument about semantics, and what term to use.
You’re blaming Democrats? It’s been Dems fighting back against deregulation and anti-conservation efforts for decades.
Have the anti American bot farms turned to Lemmee already?
once you establish a centralized power structure,… it is the literal definition of fascism.
By your definition almost any form of government is fascist. It that’s your opinion, fine, but it’s not the ‘literal definition’.
From what i understand it’s not a very involved process. Not like you have to go to court and all that. File a complaint, give your side, they investigate.
If the labor board finds wrongdoing, the worker could be rewarded 2-3x what the lost wages were, and the company gets put on shitlist somewhere.
I am far from an expert, but i do frequent workers rights spaces for what it’s worth (nearly nothing).
Nah if i see you got 1000 dollar phone, i assume you’re an elitist asshole, or bad with money.
In my head i call it the “Rule of least want to do”. If i have 2-3 tasks that need doing (ususlly work related), i think of which thing i least want to do. That’s the thing i get done, then move down the line.
Finding heavy armor almost makes you the Terminator. That’s where i lost interest in the combat. Haven’t played in a few years though.
Raise money and awareness through non-destructive means, start a program, work on the problem yourselves and hope more people join in. Start a fucking tik-tok challenge, I don’t know, honestly.
But throwing soup at art is just cringey and makes you look weird. No one is going to be on board with that but other soup-throwers. Then you just have a whole group of people travelling around throwing soup at monuments and nobody knows what the fuck your point is, as evidenced by this comment section.
