Pandas only evolutionary advantage is being adorable. It is like cows being delicious - without that, they’d simply cease to be.

Holy duck I love pandas.

You can move within your country and your experience will be entirely different. You can’t in China, because it’s an authoritarian hellstate.

I agree that Republicans are authoritarians, and that sucks. I also acknowledge that you likely view hierarchies as inherently authoritarian and that we’ll likely not see eye to eye on where to draw lines. Also fine - that’s what liberal ideologies want, is that disagreement.

But to compare China positively with the US in terms of authoritarianism is, frankly, a bit silly.

My guy, I’m living in a state that tried to arrest a woman for removing an ectopic pregnancy.

Yep, and your state voted for that. My state amended it’s constitution to prevent this situation, also through voting.

In China, you don’t get that option, because China is an authoritarian state.

Authoritarian doesn’t simply mean “bad” even though authoritarianism is bad.

You know what’s not a sign of an authoritarian state? An appeals court overturning a bad verdict.

Crystal Mason’s contentious illegal voting conviction must be reconsidered, criminal appeals court says

You should really click the links you use as evidence.

China wants people to move from rural areas to cities, which is why they forcibly move them from rural areas to cities.

China is an authoritarian state that had a literal one-child policy until recently

My daughter has had crushes since kindergarten and absolutely no one has asked her if she “has a boyfriend yet”

Kids develop crushes. You don’t need to make it weird.

Why would you keep working at a job you hate this much?

Hamas should surrender unconditionally because there is a 0% chance of them winning this war and a negligible chance of them surviving this war.

That’s when you surrender.

And yet your take here has nothing to do with the reality of Epstein’s crimes nor his suicide. It has nothing to do with the actual suicides passed off as conspiracies.

I also responded to your “points”

The downvotes are just “rich people bad” shit, same as ever.

He doesn’t need to name names, because they have his computers, documents, etc. This conspiracy theory is as full of holes as QAnon shit.

The Panama Papers weren’t swept under a rug, you just didn’t follow news on them.

Also Epstein 100% killed himself, and unsealing this info won’t tell you anything meaningful, because predators who hide among the rich don’t fucking tell every person they meet that they’re a predator.

Conspiracy theories are never a good look on anyone.

Interstellar is a terrible movie that doesn’t say or do anything special and I still don’t understand why anyone thinks it’s so amazing.

I did really like the robot guy though.

Tanks are mobile artillery. They’re not only designed for fighting other tanks.

Until the DoD can account for the 2 trillion dollars they can’t account for this audit, I have 0 interest in entertaining the obstruction of these officials.

That’s American taxpayer money and we don’t even get “classified aerospace research” as a line item

What you learned in high school puts you miles ahead of 99% of these comments

That people are being stabbed in prison is an indictment on the barbarity of our prison system, so this should still piss you off.

That is a human consequence of Biden breaking the strike.

This seems a stretch, to say the least.

I just think it’s weird that you get so riled up but don’t actually care about the human consequences of any of this at all. Literally all you care about is the internet take you have about it.

That’s such a weird phenomenon.

Why do you pretend to care so much when you didn’t care enough to Google what happened after the bill passed?

Like, your anger here is entirely performative. That doesn’t strike you as odd?
