Five offspring not fitting in my punnet square! 🤨

Good strategic analysis.

Communist cute kitten, I do not advise you get a Huawei phone with HarmonyOS unless you are actually fluent in Chinese, based in China, and not interested in apps outside China. Given your name, 可爱小猫, you might be fluent. But given your use of Lemmy, I doubt you are a mainland local.

HarmonyOS latest update is a fully localized OS that uses a localized app store and can only run a few non-Chinese apps in a virtual machine, with restricted memory access. If that appeals to you, go for it.

Edit: Huawei is a special case. It has been heavily sanctioned and has cut ties to the Android ecosystem. Oppo / Oneplus phones are available in China variant, and they run Android. They are pretty much the same as a local phone, as long as your cell provider doesn't IMEI blacklist you. Mine runs on Canadian wireless providers when I'm in Canada.

If you buy a mainland China phone the app store will be local, for example Oppo store, and Play will be only available as a workaround. I think mainland China phones will be unaffected by Google's sideloading restriction.

Unfortunately they would quickly be replaced by their heirs who would continue to employ the same business people to manage their empires. We need to change the system at the root, not just chop off the top.

Richard Stanley was hired to direct "The Island of Doctor Moreau" but was replaced by John Frankenheimer after a few days of shooting. However, Stanley considered the film to be his baby (he co-wrote the script) and didn't want to leave. So he disguised himself as one of the mutants and secretly remained on the shoot.

You can watch the documentary about the shooting of this B-movie and it's full of weird details like that. It's called "Lost Soul: the doomed journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Doctor Moreau"

Since people are just going to make command line jokes and leave you confused, the spelling is "pseudo".

Propaganda is when you punch someone in the face and then quote them saying "I'll kill you" instead of mentioning the face punch.

When WikiLeaks blew open US corruption, war crimes and human rights violations they went after the whistle blowers, Julian Assange, and Chelsea Manning.

United States "The leader of the free world" and Israel "The only democracy in the Middle East" in action.

So... is no one going to comment that it looks like Mads is going down on Hideo?

Is that David Frum, speechwriter to the Bush Jr administration? Writer of speeches about the axis of evil? Writer of speeches to whip up frenzy for an invasion of Iraq? An invasion based on lies? That David Frum?

Very interesting that Petro has ordered the replacement of Colombian diplomatic personnel dealing with China. It shows how insiders can sabotage agendas even when the leader has a progressive plan. In the UK, Jeremy Corbyn's government was constantly being sabotaged by Labour inisders, too.

Jelly beans. The fancy ones with many flavours like butter, apple, and cinnamon.

You'll surely have those bean flavours to talk about, if nothing else.

I will gather all the time crystals and become quantumly immortal! No one can stop me!

DDT is an extreme way to get rid of mosquitos. Seal up the gaps in your window screens. Keep the bedroom door closed. It's working for me during mosquito season on the subtropical island where I live.

I realize I'm giving advice to a comic about a banned chemical.

Good evidence of astroturfing on Reddit. That Reddit took action and banned the Palantir agents only provides evidence that exposure of the op is the problem. Not evidence that Reddit acts in good faith.

Instead of setting up dollar swaps to deepen their ties to the US failstate, they should get in on CIPS and alternative trade settlement systems. These things exist and would gain a great deal of credibility if Gulf states joined.

Also they should kick out the US bases and thereby make their countries a lot safer.

When you decommodify a thing the state takes a role to ensure the good or service is provided to all. You can have a mixed system with private and public construction. But as long as there is a robust public housing sector, prices for all houses will be much lower than in the current system where we have scarcity.
