Liberation is defined by the oppressed so step 1 is asking them what it means for them and what help IF ANY they desire from you

Assuming you know and intervening on their behalf is colonization

China has 10x the amount of high speed rail as number 2.

I guess I'm moving to China, I fucking love trains.
China's High Speed Rail network has now surpassed 50,000 KM in length after opening 4 new lines. The country plans to hit 60,000 KM by 2030.

Spain is the #2 country in HSR length, with approx 5,000 KM.

Map below is a year out of date but shows how the network has evolved since 2008.

How come when someone dies from suicide we can't say they died of suicide and discuss depression and mental health?

People die of depression and we don't talk about it.

RIP Naroditsky

(I have no inside information that it was suicide, it just fits my pattern)

Trying to decide which arrest was worse:

The new Turing test, ask a diverse enough set of question such that only an AI would possibly confidently know the answers (some white males might be assumed to be an AI by this test and that's okay)
you don’t understand bro, if we didn’t lie, no one would buy our product 😩

Did I miss anything interesting in the last year?

Has there been any elections or anything important?

Why do I have so many types of soap?

Hand soap, body soap, face soap, dish soap, clothes soap, teeth soap, bathroom soap (to remove other soap), general purpose soap (for cleaning surfaces, why not call it surface soap?).

Why?

So if you don’t like the responsibilities of your job (providing medical care, dispensing misoprostol, prescribing contraception, etc etc), then

FIND A DIFFERENT JOB.

In the early 2000s it was illegal to export a playstation from the US to Iran because the graphics processor was too good at processing missile trajectories.
Every few years Silicon Valley pretends to be detached from the Pentagon, overlooking that the entire commercial computing boom was an offshoot of the missile industry.
When you’re *this close* to figuring out U.S. consumer tech development of the last 100 years isn’t a product of Americans just being very special innovators selling their wares to the public under free market capitalism

How to watch a youtube video:
1) load up youtube
2) get an annoying pop up saying ad blockers aren't allowed and you can't watch videos
3) refresh quick fixes in ublock origin
4) reload the youtube page
5) you can now watch the video

The results of The Voice referendum summed up in a joke youtube video on "how to speak Australians":

"A recent survey showed that 30% of Australians are casual racists, which means the other 70% are full time"
