Oh America, the land of "isn't there some requirement?"

All it takes is for business in this country to not like something and it'll reliably get killed (with some rare exceptions).

They got any toilet paper?

If she were morally consistent she’d quit her “ministry” and go home.

This was the first thought I had when I read the headline.

No it isn't. You were trying to cast China in a harsher light for doing "for decades" most of the same things the US has been doing (also mostly for decades).

Everyone sucks in this situation.

No, the pot and kettle can both be black, that's the entire point of the expression.

One of the best parts of driving IMO is when you're relying on the car to straighten itself out after a turn and release the wheel slightly to feel it rotate in your hand. I guess i shouldn't be surprised that his cars are so poorly designed that they even removed that sensation.

From IP theft, to secret police stations in foreign countries, human rights abuses etc…

At this point you could literally be talking about the US with this sentence.

Japanese Breakfast, the latest single Picture Window has been living in my head rent free since I first heard it

AKA all of your personal data, you know, just in case we need it

No worries guys! It's not a Holocaust. It's a whoopsie daisy!

I heard -- from right-wing propagandists so you know it's true -- that he had to be deported because he was abusing his wife. I guess DHS didn't want him taking their job.

Even if you were going to do this, why would you tell everyone you're doing it?

Man it really sucks living in this shithole country run by a pack of morons.

I agree that most of them are athletic, but they simply aren't competing in an athletic competition.

I think your comparison to the Globetrotters is on point. In the ballet and other examples, the difference to me is that they're not pretending to be in a ballet competition while dancing the ballet.

There's no doubt that what most wrestlers do requires skill, talent, and athleticism but it's "fake" in that what you're watching isn't an authentic athletic competition despite the people involved pretending that it is.

The outcome of the match is predetermined while the participants pretend that it isn't. That is why there are constant arguments about whether or not it's "fake".

They didn't "design a directory tree" either. They were designing screens for a thing that sits on top of a directory tree, and they didn't understand the underlying concept.

It was likely because they're used to the abstraction that iPhones and iPads provide, where the underlying directory structures are largely hidden from users.

They were designing functionality that contained directory trees and didn't understand directory trees. How is it my responsibility that this person is not qualified to do their own job?

If I knew I was teaching remedial computers that day, I would've come with a lesson plan.

I'm going to stick with my initial conclusion that you love to blame the "teacher" even when they aren't in any way a teacher.

Yeah, but you were still in a teaching position.

No, I was in a meeting with a supposedly technical person.

I've been in the industry for a while, and I've even mentored people. These gaps in basic computer knowledge are new and they're also not my problem. I was not this person's mentor nor supposed to be teaching them anything.

I'm not a teacher. I thought I was in a design meeting not teaching remedial computers to someone who is supposed to be producing designs.

Just going off of my life experience, I notice that people pretend up a set of credentials, have large gaps in knowledge, and won't admit they don't know things.
