  1. The military created secure access rooms where you leave electronics outside. This is seen in shows like SEAL Team, there's shelves for cellphones outside the briefing room.

  2. ​ @haifutter4166  I think you meant "oversight" because something being "overlooked" means that it's not being paid attention too. Looking is related to sight so it's not obvious.

  3.  @rileybergin4857  A relative comparison is useless. In absolute terms, freedoms were removed.

  5.  @pinkbunnytail  Now imagine that for whatever reason Western countries became Islamic for two years, and you're told you can't complain about it. The Western concept of freedoms doesn't work like that. It's the state that needs to prove guilt, not us who need to prove innocence. We don't need to prove why we need rights, it's the state that needs to justify taking them away. What do you define as unnecessary? Going to the beach will not cause a public health concern. People went outside and gathered in public spaces - just the approved ones. It's not a private business. These were orders by the STATE. The private business owners were threatened with fines if they didn't enforce the rules. By your "private business" argument the state would have ZERO POWER to enforce public health measures as business owners would be able to rule over their property as they saw fit. Be consistent. Your freedom to disagree with the fact that our freedoms were removed is exactly why we'll end up like China.

  7.  @pinkbunnytail  But it was. The supposedly "free" West copied China's tactics to a tee. You're just saying the West can't complain until they become China, and by then we won't be able to. Thanks...? I'm not sure the health crisis and the beach are related. I'm fairly certain you're more likely to get health problems at the grocery store than the beach, if we exclude drowning and skin cancer. But the grocery store was open. Hell, liquor stores were open. Isn't alcoholism a health crisis? But I digress. People who lost their jobs were not subject to starvation? How do you buy food when broke? Physically forced tests? Sure, I was psychologically forced to. If I wanted to remain employed, and thus not starve, I had to submit to testing. It's mind-blowingly "appropriate" to demand things with a smile and threaten people with serious consequences (like homelessness or starvation)?

  10. 1) that's not the point, he is still right in the sense that China would never admit that they were helped because it would undermine their credibility as a superpower. Yes, the cheap labour and goods were the goal. But that trade helped China. 2) How are they unilateral? They're bilateral.

  16. ​ @Blackhawk556.  Gas doesn't burn and explode instantly. You need the proper air fuel ratio. Only the "fumes" start burning, essentially. Gasoline is volatile and the evaporation mixes it with air. Liquid gasoline unmixed with air can't burn.

They don't like when a private company can block them, but Google wants that right.

  41.  @crosstraffic187  Harvard is not a person. Harvard is not smart. It has a few smart people. That doesn't mean every single person in there is competent.

  42.  @crosstraffic187  I guess you never heard of the Harvard admissions scandal. You're begging the question. You pose that the people at Harvard doing the study are experts on China rather than just being college students, and ask if a bunch of college students using flawed methodology are really getting beat by someone who spent years on China. The answer is obviously yes. You should look into how academia works because it's not the prestigious search for knowledge you think it is. My girlfriend had a research position in a microbiology department and it was a complete mess. It's just a bunch of 20 year olds doing research for a lazy department head to get credit and recognition. They agree with the poll because the Chinese government allows people to use VPNs to defend the Chinese government. Why would China have a firewall on their internet to prevent use of Western social media if they allowed everyone to post? Think for a second. You're taking the word of someone who is lying because he is allowed by his own government to come here and lie over someone who got kicked ut for saying the truth.

  43.  @crosstraffic187  You must not be familiar with polls. Worse than ascribing infallible competency to people who happen to be tasked with a paper by an organization that happens to be a prestigious university, you're now pretending polls are sacred truth. Polls have huge issues with the methodology to collect data. Harvard isn't a person. Again, you're saying that everything that comes out of Harvard is absolutely perfect, even though there's a huge issue with repeatability issues. Many fields of academia have suffered a huge setback when it was discovered that most of their studies couldn't be replicated. Sorry. Bad studies exist. It's a lot more frequent than you think. That's why science is built on multiple people across the world studying the same subject and confirming the findings. Eventually, sometimes science is proven wrong and turns out all the researchers were missing something and were looking at their results the wrong way. So again - your argument hinges on Harvard being infallible, which it isn't, that everyone employed by Harvard is a well respected researcher, when they aren't because a lot of college kids are doing the grunt work, and that polls are flawless. Remember the polling data saying that Hillary had a 98% chance of winning in 2016? You may think that everyone will fall for this, but a lot of people won't. It's pure argument from authority, and hinges on people having blind faith on academia when most people by now understand that academia is a complicated world.

  45.  @poopyjoe4016  that's fine, devoid of external factors. But what happens when the same government playing butt buddies with the foreign investors has policies that discourage internal development? All that foreign money developing the property and making it more valuable prices people out of their own neighborhoods. I don't mind being priced out of a zone but for fuck's sake make the market dynamic enough to let me move somewhere else! When there's people being told they're gonna have to move and there's rotting buildings that never got developed because the owner is waiting for that sweet sweet foreign money... it pisses me the fuck off. They reap all the benefits of the free market while we're fucked by the government.

  51.  @angelmarauder5647  A weapon to rob a convenience store? Easy to find. Weapons to outfit a fighting force? Incredibly difficult. There's a reason Polish resistance made their own submachine guns in WW2, and the chuckleheads who went into Venezuela in like 2019 or 2020 brought in ARs rather than trying to source them locally.

  57.  @chaosomnium6566  No, it's not a net positive. And you cannot physically pull yourself up, your pulling creates a reaction force on the straps but your weight is still pressing the boots down. No matter how strong you are, all you'll achieve is rip the straps off because you do not have a proper reaction force like you would if you were pulling yourself through a pulley. It's like trying to use a magnet to pull your car forward. More worrying than you thinking such free energy is possible, is someone else upvoting your comment even though it would fail middle school physics. They are related because it's a physics analogy to the economic principle. Taking from the economy to give someone else is not a net positive, it is at least a net balance. Breaking windows to give jobs to glass makers might be a positive for them, but you can't say it's a net negative because it takes money away from other jobs.

  58.  @chaosomnium6566  Calling it nonsense doesn't make it nonsense. You just needed a cop out because you have no argument. I understand basic economics, you don't. That's why you think breaking windows improves the economy. I never pretended to be an expert on it. You do.

  59.  @chaosomnium6566  No, you never had an argument in the first place. You have been done for a long time, you just insist in stretching it out. Also, don't forget you said it was physically possible for a person to fly by pulling on their own feet.
