  • I personally don’t recommend anyone get the Switch 2. The new price points are frankly ridiculous, and I’d hate to see that shit get justified by sales.

    Personally, I’d recommend looking into handheld PCs. I haven’t looked into them much myself due to lack of money, but they’re generally much more worth the cost from what I’ve heard.

    All that said, I missed that you were looking for something to play with your 7 year old child. Switch might be better, but any handheld would be… notably destructible, so that’s a factor to keep in mind.





  • If a “Ben Shapiro destroys” video doesn’t break any rules, then what’s the issue with it being monetized?

    The issue, my friend, is that such videos often do break the rules on hateful content and on misinformation (though those rules may have also been removed after 2020), but are still able to be monetized regardless.

    What I’m doubting here is the claim that this kind of content is somehow disproportionately pushed to people who have no interest in it.

    Straw man. You may have had that argument with someone else, but no one on this comment chain ever made that claim but you.

    Alright, I’m done with your lying and moving goalposts. I’m gonna do what I always do with people who act in bad faith and block you.

    But first, I’ll say, I cited the Mali civil war because it’s ongoing. They were also one of two parties in the Sino-Vietnamese war after Vietnam invaded Cambodia. This was in 1979, with ongoing smaller conflicts until the 90s.

    They also took control of the Paracel Islands during the Vietnam War, 1974.

    And while neither of these were started by China, your original stance didn’t include that little asterisk, you just moved the goalposts when you were proven wrong by the proud, public admission of Chinese officials.

    While China may not have been involved in many conflicts, or started any of them themselves, neither of these classifiers were a part of your original position, and you only started shifting when people proved you wrong. You’re a petulant child who can’t stand to say “I was wrong.”




  • China, as a part of the U.N., has been taking part in the Mali war. Here is an article from 2016 in which officials address this fact.

    China now has more than 2,400 peacekeepers in Mali and other African countries, she said, adding that the country would continue to positively contribute to U.N. peacekeeping missions to help ensure peace and stability in Africa.
