Poland has no nukes. Russia does. If Poland were to somehow march to Moscow and the threat was real, Poland would cease to exist

Did you actually read what you quote? It aligns with what I said - Chinese feel mostly satisfied with their government and don’t want the democracy, and don’t feel that their government is democratic. Claiming that Chinese believe that their country is democratic is not what Harvard did in the document that you’ve provided.

Regarding “not only possible but likely”: please do the math. If the share of population believing in X is 90%, the chance that none of the five selected people do X is (1 - 0.9)^5 = 0.001% (i.e., 1 in 100,000), assuming independence across people. That’s what you call likely?

PS. Why is this always the .ml instance 😀

Well, I must have been super unlucky then as I have talked about it with like 5 different Chinese met at 5 different circumstances

Over 90% of Chinese agree that “democracy is important” and 80% agree that their country is democratic? Was this survey conducted in Taiwan and signed as “China” complying with “one China policy”?

I’ve never met any Chinese believing that their country is democratic nor that democracy is important. Quite the opposite - they usually say that China grew thanks to the lack of democracy (never calling it a dictatorship though)

Even the CCP propaganda doesn’t claim that China is the democracy but instead they show the negative sides of the democracies so that people don’t even think that it may be a good idea if China was democratic

Now I'm on Lemmy with the understanding that any instance could become more restrictive at any time, but instead of losing an entire platform I may just need to change instance or create my own. I like that a hell of a lot more.

For this to work, there need to be many instances instead of one big centralized instance though. Therefore I suggest you move to some smaller instance - lemmy.world got pretty big. That’s what I am doing here too, trying to grow the news community at another instance - this way if lemmy.world’s admin one day changes their mind and starts censoring the content beyond your comfort level, you can just block their instance and not be left out with an empty space

They aren’t building the digital euro, they are talking about it. It’s all talk, no action. And it’s been this way since July 2021

[–] dude@lemmings.world 15 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Enough talking, time to act. They always talk big yet don’t actually do anything about it. We still pay for everything using our Visa and Mastercard cards with no European alternatives whatsoever

what specific part GPT is alleged to have played in the suicide

The lawsuit says ChatGPT reassured and normalized suicidal ideation by telling Adam that many people find comfort in imagining an “escape hatch,” which the complaint argues pulled him “deeper into a dark and hopeless place.”: TIME

And the complaint also alleges that ChatGPT offered to help write a suicide note shortly before his death: reuters

or if the parents were aware of the guys mental state

Coverage indicates the family knew Adam had anxiety and recent stressors (loss of a grandmother and a pet, removal from the basketball team, a health flare-up leading to online schooling), but were unaware he was planning self-harm through chatbot conversations. TIME again

Regarding this “news” site as it’s the first time I am seeing this (the .su domain is for Soviet Union by the way):

Ownership information is not transparent; however, according to the NEO about page, its address is “12, Rozhdestvenka Street, office 111, Moscow.” The exact address is also used by “The Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences.” Typically, the Putin government gives the Research Institutes’ control to the Ministry of Education; therefore, the Russian government funds and owns this journal through the Russian Academy of Sciences.
