Chinese people are very racist towards non-Chinese. It might seem like a happy utopia, but if you aren't Chinese, then you may not really enjoy your time there. It may not be quite as bad as being black in rural US south, but being bla

I'd rather have a thousand form-factors and build qualities to choose from than the one-size-fits-all that Apple offers. If Apple doesn't make it, then you can't run their software on it, and they don't make too many for

Wear a burqa if you want total privacy while in public. Or prosthetics, I guess. I've seen people wearing full-face reflective shields in public - but that was mostly as a sun-shield to protect their ever-shriveling faces. The only thi

There are very few places you can expect privacy in public. Restrooms, changing rooms, etc. But in most places in public you should have zero expectation of privacy (in the US). In private settings, as with public, you are typically free to

He sure does act like a dictator, ruling by executive order. He sent the US military to operate on US soil, by executive order... so yes, he is very much a dictator right now.

Many conservatives voted for trump because they thought he wasn't a "war hawk", they don't want the US in wars around the world, they don't want their children sent off to die in foreign lands. So they voted for tru

None of that would stop the current US administration from launching a sneak attack as we've seen several times in other countries. They simply do not care about consequences.
