That’s awesome. As long as they are the ones doing the recycling I have faith it’s being done. Shipping it to China (although I think they stopped taking trash) or India or wherever. I don’t trust that. But in house in Sweden, good on them.
Where does Sweden actually do the recycling? Like do they have their own recycling facilities, or do they ship it to China or somewhere like most countries?
Check nekandro comment history. It’s like wumao talking points 101.
I just finished my first play through. My friend hosted and I joined. He wanted to go “good” on tactician difficulty. So, we did. It took us 25 days. We got a lot of the more difficult achievements out of the way.
Next time I’m hosting and we’re doing an evil play through. Larian killed it. One of my better purchases this year.
So, you’re close but wrong country. Russia tried to get rid of religion but failed. The Russian Orthodox Church just kind of became part of the government. That’s why you see the priests blessing Russian weapons and stuff.
China on the other hand did get rid of religion pretty successfully. The reason communism strives to get rid of religion is because when people aren’t arguing over who’s imaginary supernatural friend loves his people more. It’s easier to get them to agree on things.
Now, I’m not going to pretend that this is a perfect plan. After all successfully getting rid of religion comes with a whole new set of pitfalls. But, I personally think the pros outweigh the cons.
So, I’m not a psychiatrist. I am, However, a parent to a child who receives disability for autism. The hacker has also been reported to be autistic. Now I’m not going to talk about how different autism can be from one person to the next, but one of the first things you are taught is to try and redirect their negative behaviors into something more positive.
In this case that could look something like. “Hey, instead of illegally hacking companies. How about you come to work for the government and have a high paying job hacking for us.” You know that sort of thing.
The kid is talented. Sitting in a prison of any kind is wasting those talents. He would still need a lot of supervision in the above scenario. But he’d still be doing what he loves and presumably contributing to society.
I said pretty much the same thing to my partner the other day. This poor kid is a god damned genius, and now he’s just wasted potential. I can think of several ways to redirect that energy for the good of mankind and I’m an idiot. So for his potential to be wasted like this seems malicious to me.
I did! But I made a gith female character. So, we had gith lesbian sex. I imagine it was like a ball of sharp knees and pointy elbows.
Sensually, ummmmmm doing stuff to each others cloacas? You’ll have to forgive me. I’m not exactly sure how that works.
China is super racist, but Han Chinese men are being offered money to marry Uyghur women. Ya know to expedite that whole genocide thing. So, I could see them doing that.
Normally, I wouldn’t do this, but I’ve had some time to sleep and I think I may have misinterpreted something you typed. First off though there are a few things that I follow pretty close. Shitty religious stuff, and shitty CCP practices are probably my top things. I’m definitely not saying I’m an expert but I find those things equally interesting and infuriating.
Anyway, last night you called me out for the way I worded my first comment. It was perfectly understandable in its original form. Though I do admit I could have worded it better. So, I fixed it.
But before that comment you had shown a lack of understanding of how basic transactions work. Also, you made it sound like China was the one really helping Afghanistan and China was receiving little in the way of payment for this infrastructure. Now I won’t get into China debt traps because that’s a whole thing unto itself. But I first learned about how China treats African mine workers where similar deals have been made on gore websites. Granted it’s not as bad as what the Belgians did, but they aren’t kind.
Which brings me to what I think I probably misinterpreted. Because of acting like you don’t know how basic transactions work. I just assumed your statement that started with “Yeah, I’m sure…” was sarcastic. Like you were actually saying that you believed the CCP was just doing it to be cool. Which is ridiculous.
Anyway, maybe in the future don’t start off a conversation by critiquing someone’s grammar? Ummm wordage? I don’t know, the proper word escapes me at the moment. But, I feel like we could have had a very constructive conversation.
Also, I should work on my own pettiness. Like, if you insult me by calling me out on something unrelated to the topic. Even if the topic wasn’t my thing. For the next several hours it will be. So, I should also work on that.
I hope you have a good rest of the week.
Are you ok? Do you smell toast or something? If you don’t even have a basic understanding of how life works, never mind, the CCP. I can’t help you.
Are you implying that China is doing it out of the goodness of their little hearts? Are you suggesting that the CCP signed off on a project like this because they are such nice guys?
I bet you believed your mom when she said you were special too. Get the fuck out of here. Hehehehehehehe
Because the copper will be worth way more in the long run than the tech it’s funding. Plus China is notorious for putting their own people in charge of mining operations who are abusive to locals.
I’m sure it’ll be a little more complex, but it doesn’t have to be. If China can secure cheap raw materials it helps to ensure that they can make things cheaper than anyone else.

That link shows how China’s unskilled labor is now more expensive than a lot of their competitors. They need a new edge to stay relevant. The raw materials in Afghanistan is just one of many ways they are attempting to stay competitive.
You’re right about my mis-type on the last thing I’m headed there to fix it. Thanks for pointing that out.
Not all debt can be satisfied with money. A debt that is being paid, whether in money, natural resources, or the blood sweat tears and labor of your countrymen is still a debt.
I paid for it too. I mean fuck man. I’ve been using winrar for almost 30 years. That’s more than I can say for most things in my life. I figured it was the least I could do.
Here’s my thing. I think most of us here in the US are still adjusting to post-pandemic America. Used to Walmart and CVS and or Walgreens stayed open 24/7. Not anymore. Used to there was this thing called “fast food”. Now they can’t hire enough people to do the “fast” part.
The other day. I went to a fast food place called cookout. They got my order wrong and I was half way home before I realized it. So, I go back and after waiting 5 minutes no one comes to see what’s up. I get someone’s attention and ask to speak to the manager.
I WAIT 35 MORE MINUTES! Before I dump all the condiments in the trash steal 2 fixtures and a booster seat, and walk out the door. Then the manager wants to come talk to me. I told him “we good homie don’t you worry about it”, as I’m loading the condiment dividers and booster seat into my car. He try’s to explain that he can’t hire enough people, and he’s working the grill. I just repeated that we straight and drove off.
I won’t cuss and yell at fast food workers, because they don’t get paid enough to deal with that. But I will steal a bunch of stuff, because my time ain’t free either.
Generally they are a pretty good news source for anything not Middle East related.
It is. It definitely isn’t as good as S. But it gets the job done.
Well, that honestly probably makes two of us then. Games back then were fucking brutal. They couldn’t rely on flashy videos and graphics. The replayability was in the difficulty and bragging rights (if you finished it). Contra though was one of those games that I always felt was fair.
Anyway, if you ever get the itch, hit me up. I have switch and steam.
We should play together some time. We would make the perfect duo. Also, I think I saw that a set of Contras is/was on sale on Steam, because a new 2d Contra is being released soon.
Why are they doing this? Last I heard China was making their own chips with no problem. I mean China wouldn’t lie to us now would they?
