I wonder if they did it intentionally.

Changing the pill from red to blue basically cost them nothing and served no purpose, but just so happened to ruin the metaphor.

I’d learn if I practiced.

The problem is that I’m not using those keys very often, so it doesn’t stick in my mind.

And there’s no way I’m going to practice either. There’s basically no point for me.

I’ve heard this, but, my estradiol is a blue pill? 🤔

I can handle most typing by touch but there’s no way I’m going to remember the ampersand, carrot, and percentage keys.

“Become”

They’ll ignore this and just claim that the deaths were covered up.

Plastic is a hard problem to solve since meaningfully recycling most of it requires a expensive energy and chemical inputs.

Also, I’m running into some weird math. Doing some light searching, China’s plastic consumption demand will reach a peak at 119 million tons in 2030. That means their recycling target will be able to meet 16% of total plastic demand in China, but for comparison, China recycles 17% of it’s plastic today. I doubt China is aiming for plastic recycling to remain about the same if it’s supposed to be a new national target - I guess they might not be looking to increase the percentage of recycled plastic and are only interested in keeping up with demand? Or, probably likely, something is wrong with my sources because I can’t get behind paywalls. 🤷‍♀️

That’s kind of like saying that your untreated cancer was fine a year ago because you were healthy for the most part.

And yet they don’t.

Yeah, they could do that. AI writers are so fucking lazy that they don’t even bother.

Sorry dronie, a specter is haunting lemmy.

Poor men, they have it so hard. 😢

They aren’t winning in Iran. Why is that?

I can only think- “Chocolate? I remember when they first invented chocolate. Sweet, sweet chocolate… I always hated it!”

In addition to the older generations thinking queerness is yucky, there’s also the problem of the West using our rights as a bludgeon to justify sanctions and wars. I’ve seen Westerners try to justify the genocide in Gaza because “they’d throw you off a roof for being queer!” As if Israel isn’t actively blackmailing us into being informants by threatening to out us to our families.

This is all to say that anti-queer sentiment has become deeply rooted among the masses, themselves.

Recession.

The violence requires death, is the thing. People don’t just allow themselves to be forcibly relocated (as per your example), they will fight to stay on their land unless they face the threat of death (and many do stay, and die). Behind every “nonlethal” process is a death machine that makes it possible in the first place. That’s why colonization is always accomplished through mass death.

We don’t understand the brain enough to control it with chips either. In the near-term the biggest danger would be a bad actor using the chip to torture people for ransom money or a hacker just bricking it. Anything more sophisticated is still scifi.

China isn’t preventing or discouraging intermarrying or intermixing with Uighurs, which is a key feature of apartheid. Neither do they have to use separate lanes of the road, carry special IDs marking their ethnicity, or forced to use different emergency shelters.

I use those examples because the real-world example of apartheid, Israel, is currently doing all of those things today.
