Yeah, they claim to be ardent supporters of minorities, but when something bad is happening, to a country they don't like, that will make life even more dangerous for them, they cheer it on. If its a country claiming communism they will look the other way too. They would be absolutely fine with getting their authoritarian, socialist, regime even if it meant the genocide of every vulnerable demographic of people they claim to support the rights of. It will simply be justified by the ends.

oh, nice. Great little design

yeah, i have no idea, on the granular level like that i would image it is quite a complicated thing, as it is anywhere

take this as you will, it is copy pasted from a site. most other sources i saw up to reading this said the same shit, so it is probably fairly accurate

The Punishment for Marijuana in China

Possession & Use: Individuals caught with marijuana or using marijuana will face administrative detention between 10 to 15 days, as well as fines of up to 2,000 yuan ($280 USD).

Trafficking and Distribution: Selling or distributing marijuana is a crime. Punishment for those found guilty of handling over 50 grams includes a minimum three-year prison sentence, with life incarceration or death being possible penalties for larger weights (or in special cases).

Marijuana Cultivation: Growing cannabis is another criminal offense, no matter how many plants. People arrested for growing marijuana could spend five years in jail and pay a hefty fine. For larger amounts, the punishment is even steeper.

I have seen people much more informed than myself argue about how true this is, with neither side saying it would be unrealistically expensive. The big issue is that it will take years to develop the infrastructure and labor pool to adequately accomplish the task. In the mean time these companies, that are going to be the ones needing to pay, at least in significant portion of, this move of industry, will be suffering losses while trying to do it. Which seems to be what the Tim Cook quote is saying.

Heh, redskull bemoaning joker's misplaced patriotism is pretty good.

Bunch of people around here are out-right admitting they didn't really pay any attention to what anyone running was saying. They heard trump say he would bring down prices/kick out immigrants/guns/no abortion/whatever single issue, and just checked the box. The manufacturing workers here are especially loud about how they feel deceived because they didn't listen to anything he actually said, or just didn't know what tariffs are, like at all.

Will any of them vote otherwise next time? I guess we will see. Bunch of them are honestly holding to the "short term pain, long term greatness" cope.

I too am at the point where if I had ruined a batch of cookies I would cry.

There is data to show nicotine might have a performance increasing effects on people. However, the idea is more that you ingest a safe amount via methods that are not smoking/chewing.

I have been dumped for not expressing emotion, and crying, due to tragic things happening.
