i went and looked for the image ... to uh.. confirm if true or not
it's "just" trump showing a truck parade and one of the trucks has it as a large sticker/decal
never actually tried or thought about this, but is it possible to just get the orange?
some of the gymnastics in this thread are hilarious. critical support is a thing you can criticize china's various Ls while still supporting the chinese people.
the real marketing is the marketing they do to their bosses or clients, not to the consumers
remember back in 2010 whatever when that graphic designer convinced pepsi execs to pay them $15 whatever million to redo the pepsi logo and they just made it all wavey, sold a BS sale pitch about it's like the globe now, and ended up writing a blog post laughing their asses off at it? you love to see it.
how does reddit have /r/piracy but lemmy.world doesn't?
lol
there's so much to unpack here. the whole "just allow everything" is, with respect, incredibly dangerous and unfair.
it's dangerous because of how fucking dangerous these drugs are. case after case of athletes dying in their sleep, cancer, overdosing, roid raging, tainted blood doping, etc.
it's unfair because drug use doesn't affect us all equally. for example, if my natural hematocrit is 35 and yours is 45, EPO or other blood doping will give me a HUGE advantage over you. there's no way you'll be able to compete with me. i've got tons of extra room to juice my veins with red blood that you don't. the same for insulin, cortico, HGH, etc.
The whole "it's unfair whaaaa" thing sounds like some moralistic capitalist bullshit anyways.
counterpoint: the "just allow it" sounds like rightwing libertarian nonsense. we have rules and regulations for very, very good reasons.
lance armstrong let marco pantani take the win up mont ventoux wtf is he blabbling about here?
Um....of course VR porn doesn't work, it's an AR headset;

A screenshot of a Twitter post without any context from an account well known to simp for China
dumb and off topic who cares
Meanwhile their housing market, which they use as a massive investment vehicle, crumbles further.
legit tho. it's a problem China is absolutely dealing with. the gdp for 2023 was still 5.2% even though gdp is stupid.
Who is Xu Juayin? Who is Jack Ma?
i'm too lazy to do an internet search but iirc Jack Ma is a rich asshole
i went ahead and pulled some up ESGs out of curiosity to look at the holdings. ESGV, SDG, NUDV.
primary holdings were shit like microsoft, nvidia, tesla, amgen, novartis, home depot, johnson john, coca cola, etc. it's literally just S&P 500 but with like 4-10x the expense ratio.
fucking. lol.
there's mutual funds and ETFs that invest solely in ESG (environmental, social, and governance) funds. i honestly don't know if it's just marketing ploy or what but i know they're a thing and might be worth looking into [edit: i looked into these. they're a ploy. don't buy these. it's just S&P 500 shit with 4-10x the expense ratio]
finance capitalism is all dirty and bad. 401ks + others are just a trick to make people care about the market when it literally ONLY helps rich ppl and no one else. best to just do a total market fund try not to think about it so much.
hysa's are worse imo. they take your money and gamble the ever living fuck out of it a million times over until the economy collapses.
counterpoint: at the debates Trump says "i stopped student loans and you restarted them"
ITT: a bunch of games that are fucking awesome and i'd absolutely recommend them to others
