Even to the (insufficient, overblown) extent that it happens, lifting "the poor" Han Chinese out of poverty by putting other populations (Uighurs) under slave labour instead, is not the moral win you're implying.

If an ethnic cleansing is part of the requirements, to stop committing humanitarian atrocities towards "the poor", that's still an atrocity.

Disclaimer, the USA, just like every authoritarian state, is also disgusting and criminal.

You should see my post then

Now I'm thinking of titty pump-action milk-shooting, but the Action Movie pump-action kind

I'm 70% sure that the larger truck exists because exceptions have literally been made to the law on purpose due to lobbying, which is why every company pivoted to them.

Lol

I just love when large organizations (governments included) skimp on something for monetary reasons, and get fucked down the line.

Too bad citizens pay the damages.

This comment made my life better than the post made it worse. Thank you for bringing a significant net positive into the world.

I used to not like the new Firefox logo when it first came out, but by now, I couldn't do with the old one, it looks so much... And I bet if they changed it back, it would take me 2 months max to switch opinions right back.

At some point I have to accept, I'm just an ape of habit.

Not a connoisseur, so take what I say with a grain of salt but... Isn't the appeal of it, the significant personal interaction? You can't get that by ripping a couple vods. The ability to live chat (and throw paid messages their way), and have them respond, seems irreplaceable.

So, I don't trust them to have actually done what I'm going to describe, (and honestly I've just accepted that even with everything off, they're still giving me ads based on stuff I've only talked about and never clicked or written anything), but:

The programs that recognize specific phrases(Ok Google), are always separate from normal voice recognition (and much much lighter in terms of processing). So, if they weren't Google, they might have left the "Ok Google" recognition on, but not process anything else that the mic receives.

They're probably still listening in though.

My source is that I feel it in my bones.

It's a late-stage-degenerated meme.

According to knowyourmeme (other comment by AirBreather), it started from a series of popular tumblr posts of a "Who would win?" format

Then it got moldier, then the mold became part of the reference.

Huh? Why, what is so special about Lemmings that---

Wikipedia: In popular culture, a longstanding myth holds that they exhibit herd mentality and jump off cliffs, committing mass suicide.

Huh.
