it’s cute that you think supply and demand drive pricing for vital goods and services

Why is this lemmy.world/lemm.ee user posting from lemmy.ml??

I thought the ghost cities thing was about building places that no one lived, not about the quality being low. It has been awhile.

No you’re right, the poor construction thing is a different anti china meme, the ghost city thing was propaganda like, they’re wasting concrete and labor to do useless work just to juice their gdp. Like this is a game of vic3 and gdp means something real

But then it turns out years later people moved into them and the infrastructure is being used, like, westerners just took the ground work for a plan having no results and ran propaganda on that.

But then it turns out, ironically also like a game of vic3, building infrastructure for future growth is a good thing to do, who knew

There’s separate anti China memes about construction quality, bad concrete or whatever, idk

Most capitalist economies turn this into a benefit, but communist administrators would understand that it’s merely a drain on resources and labour, and be less likely to accept this preventable waste

the fuck are you on

Idk i don’t care who is saying it im saying it has the same vibes as the ghost city propaganda where oh it can’t be possible that china is actually creating that much value, they must be lying about it for nefarious reasons!

I mean it’s the same “perfidious asiatics just making shit up” rhetoric though

Dude sounds like penn jillette

a lemm.ee user with a name like “bot” is just so on the nose, you couldn’t be more creative

Same rhetoric as the “china is building ghost cities to inflate their gdp” then it turns out 10 years later millions live in them

yeah but raw onion is just strong sulfurous sweaty taste, you cook it and it’s still strong but it’s damn so fucking savory taste

You should fry the onion first

Onion into beans = you have all that beanis juice in there limiting temps to boiling, so you’re boiling that onion and pepper

Beans into onion = you’ve fried that onion, it’s caramelizing, adding so much savory sweet flavor that you need in your mouth

My yard is full of wasps

I wanna sit out there and tan

How do i make the wasps leave me alone

Those people can literally go back to reddit and have their use experience be 100% identical

Also, .ml’s modlog shows a clear pro-russia bias. People should oppose the U.S’s imperialism, but supporting russia (even critically) isn’t the answer

Have you considered that reality supports Russia’s justifications for intervening in Ukraine

I will never understand why people want to go from reddit to a place that’s just as shitty as reddit in all the same ways

so many just throw it in unnecessarily too like i was watching the world’s greatest alchemist or whatever the title and like,

He needs help making magical toilets, or help with other shit so he has time to make the magical toilets

His production methods are and liable to be stolen so obviously he needs A SLAVE WITH A MAGIC CONTRACT THAT FORCES THEM TO BEHAVE

Because there’s like idk no other way of giving the guy a monopoly or whatever.

And then they suckered me in with the MC going “slavery? that’s fucked, fuck that, I’d rather do all the work myself” only to almost immediately go “actually you’re right slave me up baby”

It’s to appeal to lonely decrepit old men. My coworker in his 60s loves this harem bullshit.

I hate it, I just want fantasy shit, magic and wiz biz, fight scenes and shit. I just want the power fantasy without all the fucking harem waifu collecting or slavery nonsense!

The same show had him get a spider as a pet. It evolved, and im like, don’t you turn into a little girl! it’s okay for a spider to just be a spider! And it stayed a spider. It evolved again and turned into a little girl

I actually did like the MC’s abilities because, yeah, you don’t usually have what’s basically a bard or skald as the protagonist, but yeah, if you’re not into isekai/fantasy power fantasy slop with edgelord “slavery is okay if they like, stole all our money” type bullshit going on then yeah idk why this would be recommended, it’s sloppy slop

My favorite part of this show was that he’s like “i’m the weakest class” and then immediately pulls out his weapon- a gun

i mean it’s in the title it’s not the world’s most nice talker
