It would have been totally exhausted trying to get out of that mud before giving up and lying still.

ELI5: What exactly about the tiktok app makes it Chinese spyware? Has it been proven it can do something? by YouMeADD in explainlikeimfive

I didn't insinuate that the USA is worse. You created this in your own Cold War 2.0 mindset. The US has some judicial oversight but we really have no idea what US companies are compelled to do. Other than when someone like Snowden leaks it. I don't know what process China goes through to do similar things, but that's not what I replied to.

I have a hard time believing this is true post Edward Snowden. The US government has shown they are capable of coersing companies without public transparency.

The number of things people are allowed to make fun of is shrinking but the ones that are still fair game are getting relentlessly hammered on.

Mumbling actors, bad speakers or lazy listeners? Why everyone is watching TV with subtitles on by Daisy_LaRue in television

[–]SnowFlakeUsername2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if there is a correlation between people that require subtitles on and the ones that have trouble with foreign accents. PS I'm sure I just watched a vid on YouTube that the author used to write most of this article.

You Can Love An Artist’s Music AND Disagree With Their Politics by ssgg28 in Music

[–]SnowFlakeUsername2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do find it odd that over time we expect artists to be well adjusted people that view life through the same lens as us. Especially comedians, all the best ones are fucked up in some way. I try to cut them some slack and enjoy what I enjoy.

Is there a reason to carry weaker stims when you have super stims as a full health build? Or super stims as a blooded build? I get rid of the weaker ones so my ps5 controller quick keys to super stims.

Opinion: Building more homes isn’t enough – we need new policies to drive down prices by Lotushope in canada

[–]SnowFlakeUsername2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cost of building new never seems to get much attention in these conversations. Or that new homes are ~2400sq ft average with lots of that being because architectural controls in developments try to keep out the poors. There seems to be such a disconnect between making new affordable vs driving down the price of what people already have.

I was referring to the motivation of Qatar to host. Almost everything I hear before Shirvan's vid was that it was a vanity project. Talk about how nonsensical it was that Qatar wasn't following western norms to promote itself to the rest of the world. Watched the vid and gained some nuance only to be told on reddit that I'm lost.

TIL Chile and Argentina have a greater percentage white population than that of Canada and the U.S. by ljrdxyh in todayilearned

[–]SnowFlakeUsername2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of Canadians categorize peoples based on US media. That's the source I hear discussions about Latinos the most. Wish it wasn't the case because the US take race/culture is very inward looking and doesn't really apply outside the US.

Wouldn't any of the savings from the house price be eaten up by increase borrowing costs? I don't really understand the "affordable for the middle class" part. Isn't it just more affordable to people with 100s of thousands of dollars laying about?

It has definitely shifted my perspective on world events. An example is how most of the western media/social media has a narrative of Qatar using the world cup as an ego boost and a way to show off to the rest of the planet. His vid explained how the country is a collection of ~30 tribes of varying power and a very loose sense of nationhood. It seems so reasonable after watching that the world cup was an attempt to solidify the hearts of their nation vs shaping the world's opinion of the country. Sports are a way to unite people without force. Would explain why they didn't really care about foreign blowback against banning alcohol and suppressing progressive stances on social issues... it wasn't all about us.

That rt score is really surprising. Even if you don't like the humour it's at least a unique film.

I know this isn't really a punishment for people like this this but saying something like that should mean that person can't enter Canada.
