World News@lemmy.world•Rich people are a threat for democracy, Oxfam findsEnglish
11·7 months agoYeah, this isn’t anything new. Literally centuries old analysis here. I guess it’s nice they updated it for the contemporary society, though.
Literally every single democratic politician in office

196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Americans kinda don't like pickpocketing ruleEnglish
1·1 year agoI’ve confronted some litterbugs in the past. Sometimes they get indignant and try to talk shit, but since I usually start my picking up the trash and then saying something, the usual responses are, I didn’t mean to do that, or, I was going to get that. To which I usually just say, yeah, sure you were buddy, and walk away. One time it was pretty sketch, big ass dude got real aggro, but fuck him, don’t litter.
That’s called taxes. That’s literally what taxes are, destruction of currency. Go pay your taxes to the treasury in cash, they will literally shred it.

World News@quokk.au•Syria orders women to cover up on beaches with conservative new dress code
2·1 year agoWestern nations spent billions to overthrow the secular government of Syria and install this regime. They’re prosperous because they do this to anyone who dares to not open themselves for exploitation.

4·1 year agoIt’s only been out for less than 48 hours… and there’s videos of people lining up outside stores all around the world. I just checked and every store within 75mi (the longest range I can do on popfindr) is sold out. Sounds about like every other Nintendo launch except the WiiU

4·1 year agoPush dash twice on a phone, no alt code needed. Almost no one uses social media on a computer anymore.
They’re already in a union, this is China. All companies over a certain size are unionized by law.
Tortillas. Just tortillas. Warmed over a gas burner. It’s a comfort food to me now, but there was a time when all I had was tortillas, and it tastes better than my other struggle meal, which was a single cup of rice with whatever spices I had on hand and hadn’t put on the previous day. I lost a lot of weight around then. Still haven’t fully gained it back ten plus years later, and still struggle eating regularly more than once or twice a day.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there homelessness in China? Why or why not? What happens in China if someone can't pay rent?
3·1 year agoAlso because WeChat is definitively the best app on the internet for communicating with their Chinese friends and family both at home and abroad.

World News@lemmy.world•Foreign companies flock to ‘panda bond’ market in hunt for China hedgeEnglish
1·1 year agoNot exactly bonds, but my Chinese stocks have outperformed my US stocks for months now. My BYD shares are up over 60% in less than a year. They seem to have stabilized around $100/share right now, but it’s still leagues ahead of where my US stocks are.
Not to mention the US still hasn’t paid reparations for their genocide, and trump dismantled programs designed to clean up Vietnam era bombs and pollution that still kill people there, while China is partnering with them to build infrastructure. There’s still a lot of animosity over Chinas invasion though, they really should have sided with the Vietnamese over the Khmer Rouge, but they were trying to get closer to the US at that time, who also supported the Khmer Rouge.



The panthers used to get stop lights put in in weeks that localities had been refusing calls from for years. You want to do stuff like this, get organized. And not dancing in frog suits organized, militant, community focused organized with educational programs and childcare for your community.
