Empathy

The fact that I’m learning this from your comment enhances this meme

Never used them myself but other videos I found make these seem very much like a children’s PE class / therapeutic kind of thing. Hopefully some kind Germans can enlighten us on the use case of Pedalos

Here you go

Even if it’s only for 15~20 minutes, I make time every weekday morning to run before getting ready for work. Holidays and such I’ll do a longer run. Was a pain at first but over the years it’s just something my body does. I figure when it comes to cardio, too little is better than none.

Building healthy habits is real.

FTL for me

Suzie? Is this about the D Club??

Non-American here. There’s a huge market for cheap Chinese goods outside the US. There are a lot of little things where you don’t need quality, just “good enough to get the job done”. There’s a chain of stores all around SEA called Mr. DIY that is basically full of worryingly cheap made in China products and it’s thriving.

Then there’s the various electronics brands that at least have reliable quality with good specs for the costs. Huge market for those despite bloat, spyware etc. outside of the US. As if you don’t get that with practically all mainstream electronics from any country anyway. Plus for non smart electronics, they’re fine. Xioami makes a great and cheap precision electronic screwdriver for example. Then there’s car companies like BYD that is just killing it in the global EV market.

Not saying the Chinese government is great or anything, they’ve got hands as bloody as any other global superpower, but I do think Chinese companies can find plenty of willing customers outside of the US.

Tl;dr A lot of the world is willing to buy “cheap garbage”, and not everything China is producing is seen as “cheap garbage” anymore.

Don’t you mean where are your

My first thought reading your comment is of the award winning director of No Other Land who got attacked and detained after having already received his Oscar… Then there’s photo journalist Fatma Hassona who was the subject of the documentary Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk who got killed in a bombing alongside her whole family.

We are unfortunately learning that becoming famous doesn’t necessarily protect people…

First I’m hearing about a new season, thanks for sharing!

Oh right, and then he said he loves using the laptop now or something like that

I believe he said he started with Mint then moved to Arch, partially because of the memes.

It’s good to consider why these discussions “go nowhere”. I’d argue that influential countries following through with promises would set good examples (not really happening but would be great if it did). Showing complete disdain for climate talks and policy however encourages other governments to do the same.

So no forcing IMO, but just a desperate “Can’t we all do better?”

I feel like the lesson of modern society is that monetary success is 99% luck.

The other 1% may be narcissistic personality disorder but I’m less certain of that.

There was a gigantic one back in March, killed over a thousand. A building in Bangkok, Thailand even collapsed.

Not like Myanmar hadn’t already been bombing their citizens up to and after the quake though .

Sometimes being able to have discussions is a privilege. A lot of people just want to exist safely in a space without having to justify this or that. Blahaj seems to be such a space and there are other spaces for people to go if they do want debate and discussion

President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House Mr Ábrego García was “not a very innocent guy”.

This coming from a convicted felon…

I love the song, especially the cover by Ripe, but I don’t remember a mention of Lola being black? I know she had a “dark brown voice” at least
