First actual hot take I’ve seen in this post so far

Short kings count too

AMD passed on every single chance to get market share back by charging reasonable prices, they are more than happy to increase prices whenever Nvidia does

I had that happen with Eternal Strands. Wanted to check about changing controller bindings and I guess the devs made the capital sin of creating a game with a female protag.

Was about to say this, how nice of discord to give people time to migrate to another service

Steam forums suck so much, any game with a female protag has at least one thread asking about how ‘woke’ it is or a thread complaining about the game being ‘woke’ because there is a single gay character or smth.

Agreed. I hate how European communities (here on lemmy) ignore the rest of the world when boycotting the US. We could be uniting against it but I guess people prefer bolstering nationalism and domestic trade?

I still haven’t played gta 5. I can wait

Same, steam must hate my country, nvr sold any hardware here

Timberborn coming out of early access, can’t wait.

Its not my first language either. No links to the actual research or methodology and just name calling, well, I’m done with rolling in the mud with you, have a good day

The link you first sent mentioned 3000. Actually even that research it was only 3000 per year lol, still statistically insignificant. 31000 is the total over the entire research, ridiculous.

Nothing about a country with over one billion people with many different ethnicities and continent sized land is easility verifiable.

“The views expressed in the Ash Center Policy Briefs Series are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect those of the John F. Kennedy School of Government or of Harvard Universi- ty” so okay, not really Havard’s opinion or name behind the study

“While no single survey can adequately address all aspects of satisfaction levels in China, this brief identifies two important yet contrasting findings.” Seems your own article disapproves of being used by itself to form opinions.

“Yet long-term, publicly-available, and nationally-representative surveys in mainland China are so rare that it is difficult to know how ordinary Chinese citizens feel about their government.” Very insteresting “Although state censorship and propaganda are widespread” gotta love when your conclusion needs to mention this.

All in all no details for the actual methodology nor about the so called private company that perfomed the survey (since the institute apparently only created the survey itself).

Well, this is enough for me today, not gonna bother replying futher since you seem to be trying to waste my time and ‘beat’ me by tiring me with nonsense.

Showing my ass? Western capitalist firm? Are you using google translate?

It wasnt linked. Okay, lets see how the research was conducted “and together with a leading private research and polling company in China” so the questioning wasnt done by havard but this private company that isnt named. It is also only 3000 interviewees, which isnt statistically relevant in a country of over 1 billion people. Even the study found discrepancies between people in the major cities and the country side.

That blogsite doesnt have direct links to the sources, do you?

So you can disagree but I can’t, interesting point of view.

Mind you, you have only talked about government approval so far, not perception of the state as socialist or not. But let me entertain you and pretend that is true (even though it is absurd). Lets also pretend that disagreeing with someone (only when it is me, you can apparently) dehumanizes people. 80% of the chinese people believe the country is a socialist country, disagreeing with them constitutes disagreeing with 80% of the country (by your flawed logic), does that me I dehumanized the ENTIRETY of the chinese people?

Who published that statistic?

The government does not represent all of a country’s people, a country can be evil without its people being evil. Example: the US

Does lemmy.ml represent the majority of the Chinese people? Do you? If you are talking statistics, that comes from the government not directly the people. And disagreeing does not dehumanize people, that is such an authoritarian view I can’t even. You disagree with the majority of the western world about China, does that mean you are dehumanizing them?
