I used it a decade ago and it was my favorite distro

Ha ha ha…no

Cool, what’s a reasonable replacement?

I would use an activity pub Lemmy verse Facebook

Nah, same here. I never connected it online. I just use it as a display

American prisons are a horror show, I can confidently say I would rather die.

Ah so the workaround is that as long as cruel punishment is normalized, it’s always acceptable. You can do something unethical today, and as long as people let you get away with it, it’s completely moral.

Thanks America!

This is criminal, but I guess it’s okay because the 13th amendment says prisoners are property so they don’t have to worry about their health, safety and rights.

This wasn’t satire? I expected Hell in a Cell, but got QAnon levels of paranoia

Well before I got voted down, that was my point. China and Taiwan consider both territories as China. This literally means that Taiwanese see Taiwan as China, and both belief systems are in agreement about there being one China, they just disagree about how that works.

Foreigners don’t get that Taiwanese see themselves as Chinese, and it’s just infinitely more complex than they are two different countries, mostly because that’s not really the case.

I low key love it. It’s unconventional, but it’s not hard to read

Taiwanese citizens are in fact Chinese citizens because Taiwan is part of China, the political reality is more complex than I think people realize, but China considers Taiwan to be part of China.

How is this ‘politics’?

I’m saying it is more likely they knew he had COVID but thought cancelling / delaying would be a bad political move, and now are announcing it because it might achieve the opposite, concern and understanding.

This also might be a prelude to him stepping down in favor of another candidate or Harris.

So I think it’s more likely it was known, and this is a calculated release of information.

This explains the debate, it was COVID! That’s why his voice was strange, people were saying he seemed like he was sick.

I highly highly doubt Biden has another half decade of useful life left.

Exactly why won’t take root there

It’s hard for westerners to understand honor based moral codes, but that’s exactly how it works. You can disgrace someone’s honor by doing bad things to them and it’s not really a fault thing, it’s more about protecting honor and it’s preservation a virtue.

This is how honor killings work, it’s part of systems designed to restore individual or family honor by killing someone who is disgraced.

There are several models of morality, not just the individualist morality models we understand intuitively.
