More that the US has successfully managed to censor entire swaths of history by limiting education (especially in red states) and ensuring that critical thought is not taught or enforced in any meaningful capacity. This is all totally intentional and verifiable. The information is there, but people are literally not ever taught (in academia) to think critically and seek answers to things they are unsure of. It's mostly just memorization until you get the churned to the next year of memorization and if you do dare question any of it you get shit on by peers and teachers alike for being a know it all. It's rare that you find people willing to foster curiosity in children which ultimately blooms into people eating up whatever they're told as truth.

That still doesn't tell me why I should be concerned. Another country having access to good technology doesn't set off alarm bells for me. I guess I need someone to spell out why them being less reliant on the West for tech is concerning. Especially considering how true the opposite has been (in regards to manufacturing) for ages.

Yeah I have literally zero more information lol I'm in the US and feel like I should be concerned because "China" but I'd love a valid reason beyond "they're now capable of sustaining they're own technology".

Why? I'm not super educated on this matter and can't find anything clear on why this would be bad

Yep, that's me too, cis male. My SO will tell you how excited I get when pumpkin spice season starts.

I could be mistaken but I believe they move materials in rock quarries, at least that's what I saw on an episode of some discovery show many years ago. I still think about them regularly too since it's like 3 stories tall and has a stair case to get to the driver seat lol

Booo, that wasn't super clear in the title. My fault. More crap to sift through.

Yes but I was responding to the person giving actual suggestions, not the meme.

Why put the burden on your partner when you could simply look yourself? Your partner doesn't need to run the entire household, you're a grown person. Look, then ask if you can't find it. "I thought we had bread, I checked the pantry but wanted to make sure I didn't miss it?"

Bold move calling it MAX due to obvious reasons. Can't imagine many people will opt in anyway.
