I don’t understand why a site like a news site would EVER time out your session. Or at least not unless there’s been like 6+ months of inactivity. So crazy every time I visit nytimes.com (from the same phone) I have to sign in again.
They're probably afraid of people sharing cookies.
Because pissing off the few people who actually DO pay for you is clearly the winning business model.

Same in Europe and Australasia but without the guns.
I think it's called American Exceptionalism. But i do agree that America is not bad, that's probably because they never managed to completely shake off their British roots.(before you downvote me that was a joke). I sometimes wonder if the main consequence of the Rebellion is that they have George Washintons face on their money instead of the Queen.
Don't be soft, the USA is way, way more complicated than simply "British roots". All that throwing off the shackles of imperial rule is sort of true but mostly bollocks (that's how you invite a major DV frenzy!)
Presumably the portrait of George W that is on the note is from post revolution ie mid 1770s otherwise there is a depiction of a British citizen on rather a lot of greenbacks.

#185On a relevant note, the Tiananmen Massacre monument at the University of Hong Kong was removed last night. They were careful to barricade everything to prevent any videos or images of the monument being destroyed. https://hongkongfp.com/2021/12/23/breaking-fears-for-condemn...

#186Imagine living somewhere like China and not liking it. It would be hellish, you couldn’t even talk about it without a police visit or your boss passing trouble along to you. A giant human spirit grinder

#187Before you use this as an excuse to accuse the commenter you disagree with as being a Wumao, note that China's propaganda strategy serves to distract rather than directly engage, as they would rather minimize engagement. It's the same principle of "don't feed the trolls." Here's a Harvard paper that covers this topic more in depth, though it's about domestic propaganda: https://gking.harvard.edu/files/gking/files/50c…

#188Doesn't the US broadcast regime change propaganda into the country via Radio Free Asia / Radio Free Liberty etc?
Growing up in the USSR I used to listen to pirate radio - Voice of America, BBC, and likes. They never called for regime change. They broadcasted news, music, and interviews with Russian speaking dissidents like Solzhenitsyn.

You forgot the /s tag, methinks: "If i could vote for the CCP here in germany, i would." You could not vote for a system like that - if you did, you'd stop having a right to vote for a different system RIGHT after. 'nuff said. It's unfathomable someone in 2021, that is not a Xi-paid troll (precisely what this article is about) would advocate for more authoritarian control, rather than less. The people you spoke to (i…
