a consumer boycott of china is literally impossible, unless you truly do want to revert to living in a cave. chinese sourced components are present & requisite at some stage of the supply chain for nearly any consumer product you can name. this is pure economic ignorance Image
china feels zero pressure from “boycott” threats because they understand their leverage better than anyone. actual leverage requires serious investment into market expansions via free trade that threatens china’s stranglehold
I would simply buy american <buys a thing made of 900 parts produced in china by chinese machinery delivered by vehicles built from more chinese parts> TAKE THAT CHINA
nobody is asking you to LIKE the fact that the world is this way but real grown-up talk here, the world is this way. just wishing it away is for babies who scream how smart they are

I don’t think I saw anyone saying augmented reality isn’t a cool idea. It has a ton of very cool possibilities. what you saw today was everyone saying how incredibly uncool mark zuckerberg managed to make a cool idea look, like inventing a hovercar in the shape of a giant penis
I’m just fixated on the idea that he could hire the top video game programmers & cgi artists to build out anything at all and the shit he comes up with is beneath the imagination of the average five year old & looks like early 2000’s PS2 dogshit
strap on these big goofy goggles and become a dorkier cartoon version of yourself traipsing aimlessly about some poorly rendered boring ass spaceship that wouldn’t cut it in a low budget netflix movie. wow. who wouldn’t want that.

here in this diner, 96% of the people are the minority
the very left wing biased new york times, folks
hey so remember when myself & others pointed out with a treasure trove of receipts that salena zito was inventing fictional people & disguising identities of paid GOP operatives to launder GOP strategy into “both sides/real american” stories, & as a result I earned a doxx bounty?

look it’s great that other teams want to hire you and there’s nothing to apologize for over that, but when you’re sleepwalking through the ugliest loss in program history at home on homecoming against a 2-5 team after a bye week it’s fair to say you’ve handled it poorly

me, a brain genius: I’ll move my business to rural texas and make a killing on low costs & cheap labor

if she renounces politics & leaves it all behind forever to work a normal job forgiveness is a reasonable ask. if she’s just laundering herself to get back into the game to sell the same poison all over again as a “reformed” ex-trump henchmen, she can gtfo.
how many times have we seen this act
believe them when they’ve vanished from the political entertainment world altogether & really behave as if they want to keep it that way. until then she’s full of shit
