Right. But do you realise how high they would have to be to nationalise multiple trillion dollar companies?

Lol. What a ludicrous idea.
How high do you want your taxes to be, for a start?
Well, it’s all part of the Olympic spirit and what it’s all supposed to be about.
Competing at a high level but with graciousness and respect for each other.
It’s from the badminton. The Chinese player was in the semi-final against Carolina Marin of Spain. Marin had won the first game and was leading in the second before having to retire injured.
So He Bingjiao held up a pin with the Spanish flag on it as a mark of respect for Marin, who should really have been in her place on the podium.
Is he taken seriously? Most of the stuff he says is ridiculed.
If you think Apple doesn’t track you, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
Hard to do on an Android phone.
But only after you’ve provided your ID.
Many Chinese manufacturers don’t have close ties to the government
You sure about that? How do you think all these Chinese companies just magically appeared from without significant investment, most likely from the CCP?
It literally happened half an hour ago and the conspiracy theories have already started. 😂

What they “felt on the inside” is not the same as what they actually were at the time though. Referring to them as he or she is just a statement of fact at the time.
We had this same thing when Ellen Page became Elliot Page. Then there was an attempt to retroactively change all references and make them Elliot Page, even though the work he did before was as Ellen Page.
It’s not transphobic to acknowledge the person they were before transition.
I have mixed feelings on the pronoun use, but having read some of her autobiographical writing I don’t think she would have taken much issue with it.
It’s fine how they’ve used it because it’s referring to the time before transition, so it’s just being accurate and also means the story makes more sense.
This is why I don’t understand all the hysteria about this.
If I don’t want to see Threads or I don’t want Threads to see me, I can go to a Threads account and click “block threads.net”.
But obviously that’s too complicated and it’s easier to just whinge to your instance admin about how Threads federation will be the death of us all. 🙄
I’m going to show this post to anyone who asks me what Lemmy is like.
