When you're dating your door and things are going well.

Fired for passing failing students. At this point in North America teachers have to pass failing students! I'm not US American so I am not sure if "No Child Left Behind" means no failing, though I remember it was a Bush jr policy that lowered standards.

Sounds like you went to very "active" middle and high schools!

That's because he's a Marcos and a US toady. Easy fix: get rid of Marcos. Have a sovereign foreign and domestic policy.

Yes, that's pretty much what I meant. In theory, the best brands would rise to the top under capitalism. So the US brands have failed without state intervention.

Which model of redmi did you have? I currently use the Redmi Note 12. It's... okay. I had a previous Xiaomi (can't remember which model) that I thought was an excellent price for high quality.

Definitely Chinese phones have better specs for their prices, as compared to US/Korean brands. Still, I'm looking for that special deal of a mid-tier-priced phone with flagship specs. Considering getting the Oneplus 13.

WTAF? The cope of failing at capitalism is real.

They cost waaaaay too much. Most flagship phones do.

Still using my two year old Xiaomi Redmi Note 12. It was super cheap, relatively. Like about 12 times cheaper than the Huawei tri-fold.

Propaganda is when you punch someone in the face and then quote them saying "I'll kill you" instead of mentioning the face punch.

Do you mean investors are trying to manipulate stocks by planting stories? Yeah, I think so. But intelligence agencies have whole training programs on how to manipulate narratives, and a very long track record of doing so.

I've seen it listed on product ingredients as "aqua".

I prefer to call it "glug".

 

The media coverage of the recent anti-ICE protests in LA provides a counterpoint to coverage of the "pro-democracy" protests in Hong Kong in 2019-20. Inconsistencies in coverage abound. Yet we can contrast the relative restraint of the HK police as compared to the LA police. Is this a case of authoritarianism vs. democracy?
