  • Dunno why this thread is filled with people equating Hezbollah and Hamas

    Because the kind of person who sides with Israel heavily overlaps with the kind of person who assumes that everyone in the Middle East is the same and that they're all terrorists.

  • Hexbear Linux users are the deep state of China
  • I just want a normal operating system where I double click an app to activate or install it

    If you're an average user then this is how you should be installing all of your apps on Linux, using your distro or DE's app manager. If an app you want isn't listed there, then you should find an alternative that is.

    For example if you're using KDE Plasma then your default "store" app is going to be Discover and you use it just like you would the Microsoft/Apple/Google stores.

    If you're trying to run non-Linux compatible software on Linux, then you need to understand that that's a more advanced task, just like running Mac software on Windows would be. If you absolutely require that software, then you would be better served by that operating system.

  • the FSB couldn’t find any Nazis for the livestreams

    Brother, there isn't a single picture of a single Ukranian military unit taken in the past ten years where somebody isn't wearing a fascist symbol of some kind. The reason the SMU stretched on is much more material - the Russian leadership greatly overestimated their military's capabilities.

  • I don't think you understood their argument.

    The people in Donbas have spoken Russian and been considered an ethnic minority in Ukraine since the USSR broke up. The people of Donbas started a civil war in response to government discrimination against their minority. If the people of Donbas are through with being a part of Ukraine, then they absolutely should have the right to secede and either be independent or join with Russia.

    Unfortunately we don't live in a world where any minority group has the sovereignty to actually make that decision fairly and democratically, which is why instead of having a vote they had eight years of war followed by being annexed and two more years and counting of much more intense warfare.

  • BYD would still have the cheapest EV in the US, even with a 100% tariff
  • It's because the so-called "subsidies" from the Chinese government are much more than the "subsidies" wielded by the American government. In America a subsidy amounts to throwing money and tax breaks at corporations and asking them to make something with it - but Chinese subsidies are direct investments, with the government controlling how the money is spent and staying involved every step of the way. That's why they turn so reliably into increased production and reduced prices while our own subsidies tend to turn into stock buybacks.

    There's really no practical reason why the US couldn't adopt a similar industrial policy - imagine going to GM/Ford/Chevy and paying them to build new EV factories in Detroit, directly overseeing the whole process from start to finish, and leaving behind government representatives at all levels of the factories' operation - but the reason we don't do it is pretty much purely ideological.

  • China rams Philippine ship while 60 Minutes on board; South China Sea tensions could draw U.S. in
  • Hyper focusing on the 11- or 9-dash line is a lie by omission. China's usage of and claims to the area predate the Republic of China too, and are established in multiple treaties signed by the Qing with colonialist powers, which is what I was referring to. Like it or not the PRC is the successor government to the ROC even though the ROC still exists in Taiwan, that's why the PRC eventually took over the UN security council seat, and because of that by precedent the PRC inherits the ROC's territorial claims, who inherited them from the Qing.

  • Yes, I'd totally watch this sequel
  • in Inside Out 3 she starts to have a lesbian relationship but she's also some kind of public figure and her manager/agent etc sabotage it because they think it will ruin her marketability.
