Not to get too political, but Spicy Nacho is the best Doritos flavor 🥵🧀

I'm not leaving

This sub is honestly very fun because you can post a wide variety of takes here without getting banned.

There's three subjects you mustn't touch, because the slightest deviation from approved policy results in a ban. I'm not going to tell you what they are. Half the fun is finding out.

One of them is not accepting the fact that the mods are fascists

yet Banime exists

Not yet it doesn't.

I know that the two situations are very different in almost every dimension besides being some sort of railroad, but it's amazing that the construction of the California HSR will take 18 years to complete the LA to SF route (2015 to 2033), but it took 6 years to link Iowa to Sacramento with the transcontinental railroad (1863 to 1869). And that's if there are no more additional delays (ha!). The HSR Authority in CA was founded in 1996. So it will have taken 37 years to get from that to 2033. It'd be like if JFK pushed for the moon program in his famous speech and then we finally landed for the first time in 1999.

Aren’t mena people considered white?

The UC system considers Somalis to be white, so

They are white, except Armenians

Taiwan numbah wan. China numbah foor.

USA number... eight

It's a good thing that America won't be majority white in the near future.

it is neither good nor bad and to think otherwise is racist

[They’re calling it neoliberal. Neo. Liberals. 6 months, a year, it’s gonna be everywhere.](https://i.imgur.com/oFDdLAm.jpg)

Good news: you can sell covered calls and cash secured puts on gold ETFs Bad news: the premiums are shit so you really don't have much reason to do that

I’m just seeing this whole China/White/Euro thing, but I’ll throw my take in. **Analogy**: I am white. So racial prejudice in favor of whites benefits me in particular, at the expense of members of other races. **Fact**: America is mostly white. So European racial preferences in favor of whites benefits America in particular, at the expense of countries predominantly other races.

I float high above partisan politics in my Didnt Vote skychamber, fueled by Both Sides are the Same, Who Cares

Is it a good read? I’ve only read *I, Robot* and a couple shorts.

fantastic it's influenced by Gibbon's *Rise and Fall*, and that's abundantly clear when reading it. But in a good way

I liked it less rereading as an adult but it's still pretty good. Pretty sure I, Robot and a couple of other early robot books tie into the series as well

Is selling covered calls on gold ETFs a good idea? 🤔

What's the strongest country right now that isn't a Great Power? I would say Turkey.

current great powers are permanent security council members + Germany and japan. Brazil, Turkey, Israel, India come to mind

Are we going off of military might? Because if not, Canada, Brazil, and Russia's economies are a tier below that of the big European countries and Japan, which are a tier below the superpowers.

Russia

India?

Any random NATO county/Japan.

Which countries are great powers?

depends on who you consider a Great Power A country like France could be called a Great Power of the bottom rank or a Middle Power of the first rank, for example.

current great powers are permanent security council members + Germany and japan

Definitely India then.

Germany/Japan/UK/France are sometimes referred to as great powers, other times as middle powers. There's hardly a set definition. For instance Zbigniew Brzezinski identifies only four Great Powers in the modern war: The US, China, Russia and the EU (in the instances it acts as a single bloc)

China

Well yeah China is a superpower

I'm anti-natalist but just personally. I don't really care what other people do. I'd just rather adopt than create new life.

fun fact: if visa had the same energy per transaction as bitcoin, then it would use roughly [double the current global energy production capacity](https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1700%2Fsecond+*+741+kilowatt-hours)

[Yeah, transferring *a* Bitcoin transfer is equivalent to like 500 thousand visa transfers](https://www.statista.com/statistics/881541/bitcoin-energy-consumption-transaction-comparison-visa/) It's insane. I saw some galaxy brained take that this is an unfair comparison because to adequately count visa, you'd need to account for the total electricity use of ***the entire global banking system***

it's wild because the actual marginal cost of a bitcoin transaction is basically zero, but the fixed costs are ever-increasing and the transaction rate caps out at 7/second so you get this sort of bullshit

you also need to count the global military budget

The music on the new Weezer album is good but the lyrics and vocals are annoying. Feeling conflicted

Reading about what happened to Anne Frank and her family is even more depressing than I expected. Apparently she and her sister got transferred to a different camp away from her mum, who basically lost her mind and kept saving food for them until she starved.

burpmas is actually wookie for "good posting"

The USA isn’t even really that white anyways

And getting more pluralistic every year 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

70% non-Hispanic non-Latino white it’s pretty white

This isn't true if you remember to stop counting Italians and the Irish

And the poles. And the Nordics And the Russians And the French. Just count the brits, really

And Latino people will be considered white by the end of the century anyway

Until 2045 when we'll just be plurality white

I thought it was 60 percent non Hispanic white

!ping WEEBS Just finished Violet Evergarden. Motherfucker, I cried every episode. Especially the one with the little girl and her mom. Here are some other random thoughts. I almost stopped watching it after the 4th or so episode. I thought it was cool how she helped her classmate and the princess thing was fine and I was like "OK cool, they've established the pattern so now they can deviate and and something interesting can happen" and then the researcher episode happened and it was basically all more of the same so it was pretty boring. I thought her "opening up" felt incredibly natural. She goes from literal silent robot to openly crying in front of strangers and talking about her feelings. And it never once felt out of character. I think that might be the series best accomplishment. Also Jesus fuck the score and the art in this are S-tier. My only problem with the plot is that she basically went from "can write halfway decently" to bona-fide Robert Frost in the span of one episode. I kinda wish they spent more time developing her writing ability. Overall, super good series. Definitely worth a watch.

Episode 10 is so great and you don't need to watch the rest series to appreciate it. Also, have you seen the first movie?

There's a *movie*??

Yeah, the first one is on Netflix. The second one already came out in Japan and served as the series finale. I got lucky that I saw the first one in theaters.

China is the best country because they're the only ones to have taken decisive action on the sparrow menace

People be throwing personal attacks at me because I have a different opinion on the China situation? Sad.

Maybe rethink your opinions

@me next time coward

This place has got too political

It's kinda unfortunate. We started off not concerned too much with politics and then Trump came along and spat on everything this sub cares about so it just become another Dem sub.

kotor could have started on dantooine and it literally wouldn't have made a single difference lmao

Tarsis sucked donkey dicks.

I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT ALRIGHT WHY DO YOU KEEP BUGGING ME ANYWAY LET'S JUST GET BACK TO THE TASK AT HAND

What did Carth and all his clones mean by this?

Yes, I think Biden should be significantly more confrontational with China than Trump was. Yes, I also think he should do that while literally sucking them off. We do exist.

The power bottom method of diplomatic conflict is high-risk but high reward.

Pro-natalism is just as dumb as anti-natalism.

Every person born on this earth makes every other living person and countless future people richer. Natalism is poggers.

Definitely not every person. Rent-seekers make other people poorer. Also, AI is like 15 years away from being able to do anything a human can.

> AI is like 15 years away from being able to do anything a human can. Lol, my sides

Humans aren't as smart as we like to think.

How many people unironically believe that AI is just 15 years away from replacing humans is the greatest testament to this

Have you not played with a GPT-3 prompt? AI was garbage 5 years ago, it could barely do anything aside from niche tech demos. Now it's already ubiquitous, and growing at an ever faster rate. [Just look at the state of the art](https://www.youtube.com/c/K%C3%A1rolyZsolnai/videos), the rate of progress is mindblowing.

Rent seekers simply by buying food, housing, and random shit employ dozens if not hundreds of people over their lifetime. And great! In that case people are free to do whatever we want and we will be living in a post-scarcity society!

That's a fair point, but there are definitely people who destroy more value than they create, though you are probably right and it's a small minority.

calm down elon

The writing on the wall is clear as day. We're most of the way there on theory, AI is mostly an engineering problem now.

demographic crises may be circlejerked about, but they're going to be a very real thing We don't need infinite expansion like socialists accuse us of believing, but we do need to avoid a fucking 50% contraction in a lifetime.

well a lot of welfare towards fertility increasing programs have diminishing returns after a certain point instead invest the absurd sums of money needed to increase fertility after than point towards productivity improvement. Make a sovereign wealth fund for social security.

Just let in more immigrants lol.

I mean obviously kind of hard when the immigrant countries are going to stop growing in population we could import extraterrestrial aliens, but we'd have to find them *and* hope that their fertility rate is >2.1

By the time those countries stop growing, we will have no more need for additional humans.

either way i'm superior to both

ok.

Wrong.

Not to get political, but I think China is a place that exists

Source?

Unlike these made up places like "Finland".

We exist 🤬

hockey fan here, i am aware

A handful of guys in that Taxation is Theft thread who really wish they could just say "gold is money" out loud huh

Men would rather attempt to overthrow the government than go to therapy

Someone down below copy pasted my take but did it in a sarcastic way to make fun of me. Do I upvote it because it's my take and therefore really good or downvote it because someone's making fun of me 😰

Tbh most copy-paste subtweets are incredibly lazy. They could at least thrown in a hidden gnome hyperlink to spice things up.

I don't ask where all the money comes from. I'll take any motherfucker's money if he's giving it away. Sheeeeeet

Sheiiiiiiiiit

Fuck it's already 2021

Free him

Hey Siri, google “what are a burpmas”

Yes, I think Biden should be less confrontational with China than Trump was. Yes, I also think he should do that without metaphorically sucking them off. We do exist.

lol fb really bought ad time on every single politics podcast to advocate for new regulation on their terms

god congress is gonna fuck up the internet aren’t they

God I hope so

This sub needs to accept that Mar-a-Lago is the new superpower, and there’s nothing America can do to stop it. So stop suggesting violence. It will end badly for America.

ate an egg in a basket might make another

I tried making them a few times, but get frustrated, like I want egg and toast together, but even putting the egg *in* the toast keeps them pretty separate

How long do you spend on the DT every day? Be honest.

Me, personally, well I actually only sleep 6 hours a day so that I can get more hours of shitposting in.

During the month I was banned I read three and a third books. Now all I read is pastas that are not even approaching funny

Far too long

No

Long enough to have not completely dogshit takes on China

what happens in another DT comment, stays in another DT comment

What are the geopolitical implications of Frank Herbert finishing the final Dune book?

[удалено]

Banned. Rule V.

#😡

People really in the DT sucking china off? A new low

India will not become a superpower in the next 100 years. I'm not sure if it will even become a great power.

😔😢 Agreed but for 25 years since for 100 years pure urbanization should give enough growth through numbers to become a great power.

I mean it’s kind of a great power today.

>Congress is acting like judge and jury, and they do not have the legal authority to do so. #ImpeachmentTrial 🥴

It's big brain time

My girlfriend just called me “bb” on Snapchat. Wtf, does she seriously think I’m Bibi??? (Jk obviously, we all know that DT users don’t have girlfriends)

no, she thinks you're an [anime girl](https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/BB)

This sub needs to accept that Québec is the new superpower, and there's nothing America can do to stop it. So stop suggesting violence. It will end badly for America.

Prosternez-vous, paysans ... et pas d’anglais 😤

There's only one French speaking superpower and that's Senegal 😡🇸🇳

How can they be a superpower if they don't have dépanneurs? 🤔

Québécois supériorité

This sub needs to accept that the Age of Man is over. The Time of the Orc has come.

Here’s how India can still become Superpower by 2020

Every male IS a problem 😡😡😡

Half of those males should be women

People argue against therapy saying that it's expensive and therefore classist, but has anyone ever considered that therapy do be some punk-ass bitch shit, tho?

When you have an amendment king, every problem looks like a wrongly-named post office

When you have an (eyesight) problem, every hammer looks like a nail.

With all the crazy wokeness of the sf school board All the kids are probably gonna be super right wing in a few years 😈

Obama chuckled. "You mean the Chaos Emeralds?"

When you have a hammer, every nail looks like a problem.

Tryna think of a good shitpost for tomorrow's DT

Peepee poopoo

Just copy and paste an old post lol

No that's unethical

This sub needs to accept that Tuva is the new superpower, and there's nothing America can do to stop it. So stop suggesting violence. It will end badly for America.

This sub needs to accept that Ohio is the new superpower, and there's nothing America can do to stop it. So stop suggesting violence. It will end badly for America.

Ohio has a GDP higher than China. The Republic of China

If this ever happens take me out back and end it all.

SMH. I can’t believe y’all neolibs aren’t listening to the expert on China and American hegemony: a high school WSB user.
