I understand some people are infrequent traveler so they may not know, but showing up to airport security line wearing like, three layers, sunglasses, a hat, a belt, that you only start taking off when you get to the "put stuff on tray" part is just, sigh

So this week conservative Americans were mad at

- a church lady asking Trump to show compassion to gay people

- people saying Musk did the Nazi salute, which he clearly did twice on live tv

I can't tell if they're that brainwashed delusional or they know they're being ridiculous but don't care

But happy to hear you're taking over.

The Verge's coverage of Chinese phones fell off a cliff after Sam and Vlad left.

One way to do that would be to give coverage to Chinese flagships that offer newer/better hardware every year, thus shining a light on how Samsung and Google are on cruise control with hardware, but y'all don't do that because the phones "don't sell in US" (as if you only have US based readers)

Ah yes, it's the app that's trying to pull a stunt not the US gov's years long "will we or won't we ban the app"

I suggest you read more history of you think the US doesn't kill people with opposing views.

And you wild enough to use the genocide word with Xinjiang when there's almost no evidence of that but there are tons evident of Gaza being an actual genocide? Bro look in mirror

They're both militaristic warmongers but only one side has actively been in or funded wars while the other has not

You gonna pretend there's no situation ever in which someone needs to identify a car from the front? What if I witness a car hit someone from front, but the car turns immediately?

What if I get rear-ended and my dashcam only shows his front?

On a five hour US domestic flight and surprised to realize there's no food.

In Asia, even an hour flight you get a hot meal

All these "you can rent a girlfriend", "rent a family", "rent a companion" stuff in Japan I see western YouTubers/comedians do, it's presented as all fun because westerners love Japan. If this was in china, man the whole framing would turn so uncomfortable and gross

What you said is the viewpoint of less than the majority of Americans (I agree actually). We know because most US politicians spew the opposite and people voted in a far right dude who surely thinks the opposite.

The biggest threat to "western democracy" are white conservatives and basic liberals

That's exactly the point I was saying: most Americans probably find tiktok problematic because "china" and think nothing of Musk using X to push far right agendas and Zuck also cozying up with oppressors.

Nilays post seems to imply the opposite?

I'm hoping translation was bad but did you really say "non-westeners are dangerous to democracies"?
