Powerless and ridiculous for US to cry for its recognition as regional leader globaltimes.cn/page/202303/128

@yogthos yeah just not in the way they claim.

China leading US in technology race in all but a few fields, thinktank finds

Year-long study finds China leads in 37 of 44 areas it tracked, with potential for a monopoly in areas such as nanoscale materials and synthetic biology

@yogthos Nice.

On a side note... I really wish the geteral population could understand nuance.

That you can dislike a foreign government without invoking racism against their people.

But I might be biased. I married into a chinese family and am learning Mandarin :P

the tone of this ad comes across as vaguely threatening given what we know today 😆

I hope the lead I'm mining will be used in your paint

1. Because you’re lying flat, it’s easier to lose your headphones 
2. The headphones hurt your ears
3. Economy passengers judge you as they board the plane
4. Your business class seatmates are more likely to be spoilt and misbehave
5. You are more tempted to pig out
6. Skipping the line in the airport is embarrassing
7. You feel obliged to dress up
8. You feel bad about your carbon footprint

truly wall worthy article

There was a #Kurzgesagt about this amoeba last year:
> #NaegleriaFowleri is an amoeba that not only has developed a deadly taste for human brains but is also a match for our defenses and a guest in dramatic headlines.
> What happens when this monster enters your body?

Not that Brexit wasn't an utter clusterfuck, but since when is national sovereignty bad exactly. Is the article implying that EU members don't have sovereignty, and that's as it should be?

The New European

let them eat sovereignty, you say tomatoes, we say the Brexit food crisis hasn't even started yet.

China on track to dominate development of critical future technologies, ASPI report says 👏

@yogthos China plans to rollout 6G tech by 2025, and over the next two days we may see new policies granting more rights for non-married mothers and cheaper healthcare. The expansion of education and healthcare into the more remote areas and, IIRC, roughly $6T going into massive projects this year is nothing short of brilliant. Unfortunately, the US and close allies want to decouple from and sanction China right now over rumors. I'd rather China de-dollarize ASAP to get it out of the way.

@yogthos "held back hunger" is generous.

I'm sure the rations at Auschwitz held back hunger too.

Low-income households are falling behind on car bills is another data point indicating that US economy is headed for a recession. As the cost of living keeps claiming, we'll likely see a wave of defaults leading to a crash similar to 2008.
