I always wonder when I see these kind of videos - is there anything these guys can do to save their skin? Is there a way to communicate surrender, or were they given the ultimate death sentence?

Anyhow, this bit of curiosity in itself is much more compassion than what this invasive species ever deserved

Extremely good news, the pricing of Chinese cars is not just a healthy competition to European counterparts, they were a form of attack on the European industry.

The Chinese never found a way to make profit in spite of radically lower prices, this is a state-funded strive to reach dominion and monopolize the market, after which they can do whatever the fuck they want.

It is the exact same fucking strategy they practiced with Temu, Alibaba and AliExpress operate at extreme deficit covered by the state, amass clients and then increase the prices.

According to statista, cars and vans account for around 10% of global CO2 emissions.

For comparison, aviation accounts for around 2.5% of emissions, and more than half of it is produced by private jets.

Putting major responsibility on victims of floods is just absolutely cruel and ignorant.

I'm all in for FuckCars, but oh man...

Imagine living your ordinary life, then all of the sudden you lose half if not all that you own... and then you receive a link to a twitter post of some punk making fun of you from the comfort of his apartament, not giving a fuck.

Gauche caviar.

This sounds just extremely dumb to me, as in "do something manually for 2 minutes or spend 2 days automating it"

Also, DRY in 90% of the cases is a sham

I don't get it, what's so bad about boilerplate?

Not joking, I'm just underinformed

Now that I think of it, yeah, it makes absolute sense. It's not a stable income OpenAI is based on, but rather the endless wagons of money from hyped up sponsors. Very much unsustainable.

Wait, since when it had not been? Or are you telling me that vastly the fastest growing platform in history with multiple payment gates (subscriptions, pay per token, licensing etc.) was not profitable for some reason?

I had a nasty habit to argue with subreddit mods after being banned for mild violations. Obviously that would only happen when the penalty had been inadequate, otherwise I would keep my mouth shut.

It happened two times, at first I was banned for a week on the whole platform. Second time, I was permanently banned from reddit.

Mind you, these two were the only occasions I was banned from reddit per se. I would naturally receive bans on various subreddit for reasons, but never from the entire website.

Funny how the most powerful people on reddit are also most fragile and best protected by the admins.

Do Southern Koreans actually generally want the unification? After all, the North is effectively a pre-industrial wasteland even to the global standards. The people are hardly the same on both sides either.
