nuclear power isn’t relevant anymore.

that’s not true. you just don’t want developing countries to have nuclear power.

You thought wrong, in the past the relationship was more complicated than hate. The US still had a lot of appeal and sometimes even looked up to in terms of institutions, rule of law, high literacy, advanced economy and so on. It didn’t happen overnight, the sanctions of Iraq in the 1990s and the invasion in 2003 was the start, the genocide in Gaza is the last straw, at least for the masses.

Stallman warned us, we didn’t listen.

At what point does this all just become sinophobia?

“Nuclear for me but not for thee”.

The optimal temperature for solar panels to operate efficiently is typically around 25°C (77°F).

It is 34°C (93°F) at night.

Agreed. Developing countries need clean and affordable energy

Not as bad as you make it out to be, and I actually worked in the US with more Chinese engineers than US engineers.

It is not illegal is it?

If it is legal, then thank you China for the free backup.

We agree on the essence. I am not going to argue over semantics and definitions. People have a right to self determination but not settler colonialism, we agree on that but disagree on the definition of Zionism. I go with the writings of Jabotinsky and Herzl.

Nothing excuses Zionism even if some opposes the actions of their government

Summer started earlier than usual this year. The Saudi government needs to install more shades and outdoor cooling, as well as perhaps reduce the number of pilgrims allowed. 1.83 million at once, not counting those without permits, is a lot at once to take care of.

So they are forcing their own interpretation of Christianity on everyone? I guess that the US doesn’t have separate courts for other religions… So no one’s allowed divorce even if allowed in their religion? this can’t be legal.

To think that the caliphate at least allowed Jews and Christians to have their own religious courts.

They can’t prohibit it for other faiths though. Jews, Muslims, and so on can still divorce… right?

At least the Fediverse exists.

Maybe shouldn’t try to create a country on someone else’s land? Refugees are supposed to assimilate into the culture, not create a separate ethnostate and expel the natives.

In the UAE they steal from hotels

More countries should do the same.

Lots of countries had female heads of state. Here are some Muslim* ones.

*Mauritius and Singapore aren’t Muslim countries but have a significant Muslim minority.

Just capitalization and autocompleting variable names with correct grammar is handy
