  • imo nobody who is struggling to lose weight needs to be told about energy balance.

    I disagree when I’ve heard countless people make up wild reasons why they can’t lose weight and it’s never about eating more calories than they burn. I’m not trying to shame anyone (im overweight myself) but the billion dollar weight loss industry has convinced too many people that it’s some super complex problem that can only be solved with some wacky diet and a monthly fee.








  • I used to point this out about Hulu probably close to a decade ago on reddit and would get endless comments about how “it’s just a few shows,” “i never see any ads,” and “it’s not their fault.” I wonder if those same people exist here.

    There’s literally nothing compelling these shitty companies to advertise these plans as ad free when they do in fact contain ads. Just like cellular ISPs have no legitimate reason to call their data plans “unlimited” when they cap you after using a predefined amount of data.







  • The federal government ended the the EV subsidy a few years ago.

    Buyers of any EV not just American EVs.

    lmao. We know what slavery looks like, you can see it in the cotton fields outside Angola Prison, rows of enslaved people, and overseer on a horse, all behind barbed wire.

    I’m glad you find slavery so comical.

    Were these inmates enslaved for their religious beliefs being different than the official party line? We they imprisoned for not wanting to be controlled by a dictatorship? No. No they weren’t.

    Through 1 and 5 year plans, the CPC uses SoEs (and sometimes just asks private companies “nicely”) to ensure the foundational inputs, steel, rubber, chips, college graduates, etc are all available to industry at the specific price point and volume that competing private firms need to produce say, 100m EV or a million more apartments.

    Gee, it sure sounds like you’re listing even more slavery than I mentioned. Imagine Trump declaring that every college grad needs to make themselves available to build a border wall.

    Any country can do a little central planning to make sure private industry has what it needs, but this only works if you’re able to take action against companies that exploit the system.

    The only exploitation mentioned here is the government exploiting the people. It seems your argument is based on your warped belief that if the US is committing atrocities than it’s okay for everyone else to do so, yet your examples are in stark contrast to what’s happening here. Your views are frankly quite disgusting and proof of how absurd the Chinese government’s propaganda arm is.
