Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Public transit in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 vs Chengdu, China 🇨🇳 English
71·11 months agoChina was invaded by Japan before WW2. Look up the Rape of Nanking if you want specifics. Once WW2 ended China had a civil war. The CCP managed to win and Mao Zedong ascended to power. He led the Cultural Revolution which basically eliminated the old ways of China to pave the way, over the bodies of millions of people, for modern China.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•how many people came to this platform due to leaving / being banned from Reddit?English
3·11 months agoI got banned too many times for telling people to punch Nazis. Eventually I was permad. Haven’t really tried to circumvent it much because why would I want to use a platform that vehemently protects Nazis?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you noticed more "content creators" using ai as a sourceEnglish
12·11 months agoThere’s also a compounding problem right? Like if people take AI as a source and make content with it, that content will be rescraped for AI data sets thereby reaffirming information that may be false.

4 months of 30 days multiplied by 3,025 is equal to 363,000 dollars without insurance.
That is an entirely believable number to me.
