My default is to just assume that they aren’t the same person unless corroborated by that person.

China has been playing a long game with rare earth metals. You asked a specific question, the answer of which wouldn’t really explain anything. I gave you a longer answer that gives a fuller picture.

Trump and company were fools to trigger China like this.

They’ve been buying up and hording rare earth metals for years to secure their own manufacture and as a form of soft power.

From 2011:

That’s because China now controls over 95% of the world’s supplies of rare earth metals, and has placed curbs on rare earth exports, creating a resource stranglehold. China slashed export quotas by 72% in the second half of last year, and imposed a further 35% cut in the first half of 2011 from the year-ago level. As a result prices for some rare earths have jumped more than 1,000%.

Im not going to debate this,

And yet, you still replied.

I’ve been seeing the US slide into fascism for the past 20 years. As long as I’ve been politically aware. Bush Jr set the stage of this problem and while none of the Democrats have been actively fascist, they also haven’t done anyway thing to reverse course either.

People aren’t rolling their eyes. They’re turning their head because they don’t want to face reality.

Take real reports and replace it with randomly generated people to flood the ICE systems with false reports.

No. The meaning has been true for a while. People just ignored the signs because it was inconvenient to stamp it out sooner.

China has been doing this for years.

Don’t use either. Until Trump, I still considered CCP spyware more dangerous because they would be collecting info that could be used to blackmail US politicians and businesses. Now, it’s a coin flip. In either case, use EU or FOSS apps whenever possible.

Around then for me. Hiroyuki allowed /pol/ to happen when moot tried it and ditched it quickly. Too many people started thinking their farts didn’t stink. I went there for anime discussions when every other popular site was a hugbox.

1. Search Amazon for product you want.
2. Check reviews
3. Throw out reviews because a) they’re for the wrong product or b) they’re bot written.
4. Use the product numbers to search for the the same product elsewhere, preferably from the company’s own website or brick and mortar.
5. If it’s something you actually need and can’t find it elsewhere, it’s ok to buy Amazon, just don’t pay for a Prime account. No one needs shit that quickly.

I don’t want to ingest that many second hand drugs.

I was gonna suggest just running hot tap water over it for a few minutes until the air inside expanded enough.

We still have a secretary of education?

I just wanted them to place me better classes. They were convinced I would be happier, or more likely, their job easier, if I was placed in all remedial classes. This is despite testing advanced proficient for science and average for math and despite my grade school recommending me for advance placement for science.

I was never interested in talking to them about career paths or any of the other “American Dream” lies. I wanted to do something good for the world with my years in college. They fucking hate that.

“You were right and the guidance counselors were wrong.”

No, the 3rd party blocker is working just fine. Before that, I would select “Not Interested” or “Don’t recommend this channel” and it would remove certain channels for a while, but eventually the algo decided that I wanted to see those “high engagement” channels.

I only use yt though a web browser or through Grayjay. I don’t even have a smart tv. If the 3rd party antitracking stuff is messing things up, I’ll fix it with other 3rd party stuff.

That doesn’t stop it for me.

You can’t hide channels on YouTube without a 3rd party addon. YouTube kept suggesting me videos from channels I think unsubscribed to until I did that.
