Convenience is nationalism

Damn. Why don’t more Americans buy Huawei phones that aren’t available in any stores? Must be nationalist!

Why do most [insert country here] people use [insert brand from their country here]???

Conspicuous consumption doesn’t really hold in this case because the alternative is around the same price.

I’d also question any claim about the dating partner. Maybe a study said it has an impact, but I doubt it’s a strong impact on evaluation of a potential partner. By all means, I’d love to see the source for that

You also cite an example of what was basically a meme. Literally nobody bought that app (and iirc those who were tricked got their money back)

Because the two sides are biased and each have their own opinions and you need a less biased 3rd party to decide?

I’ll agree with what others are saying about speculation but I’ll add a few points…

Meme investing. People just buy shit now. You can download Robinhood or any other free app and buy something you read about because you feel like it. That’s a lot different than traditional stock valuation. And in some cases (GameStop?) the public can have such force that it massively overwhelms traditional stock valuation

The other point is that businesses will still function. Will it suck to have a 20+% tariff? Yes. Will in end a massive global corporation? No. A trade war can’t kill multinationals because they have a foot in both sides, in a sense (that’s a crazy oversimplification)

Is streameast bad now? Haven’t used it in a while

It’s just the way I am, I’m neurodivergent with mental illness

That’s… idiotic and childish. I mean, it’s a kid, so the childish part makes sense.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. Even if she’s borderline, that doesn’t mean she’s an incurable asshole.

Edit: id add that nobody can diagnose someone online. It takes a thorough evaluation. Gun to my head, I’d say borderline but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Wanna be a bit more specific? This is a very strange story. You need a criminal defense attorney or something?

I mean, you do you. But I don’t pick fights with cancer kids who are dying. Who cares if he’s the only music they’ve ever heard?

Ok… you said “no” to a bunch of dying kids who said “my dying wish is to meet you” and then you brag about it?
