   Unabashedly torturing a hapa for fun this week

   "well I'm a little biased because my mom's from there, but taiwan is important, we have to help them out, they're our only ally against china!"

   "....why though?"

   "because china's bad?"

   "Not to me, MY mother isn't chinese. We're american. Seems like a "you" problem, not a "we" problem"

   "but Taiwan makes all our chips! You wouldn't be able to buy any new games!"

   "What are you, fourteen? Who cares? If anything I'd be glad to see the industry pause so we don't have to upgrade every year. Let them learn to neatly code and be efficient again"

   "but the economy would be FUCKED"

   "like it already is? How about if taiwan's so important you go work for THEM instead of roping my folks into some asiatic blood feud?"

     @Victor_Emmanuel We can't have any industry here unless it manages to be 95% waste free and be completed by a workforce that is no more than 15% white

     A bud sold me on this "not my problem" routine the other day and it's really fun

     "hey it's good that {minority} is getting {special treatment}!"

     "why? I'm not {minority}"

     "because it's a human rights thing, it's good! You SHOULD care other people are better off!"

     "But I'm not, they aren't me, so I'd rather they fail, it doesn't help me"

     "but, that's so mean, we all have to look out for each other!"

     "but they don't look out for me, so.....why owe them anything?"

     Have done it a few times and it's fun getting them to just shrug when you point out your goodwill isn't reciprocated, and their zog religion doesn't really account for someone who can't be guilted into self sacrifice

     @WashedOutGundamPilot i go with "oh it's just an internal chinese thing not our problem" which is p unassailable from the perspective of a chink because that's what their position technically says

     @Azur_Fenix @SpurgAnon I love how there was a "glut of SSDs" for a while, and prices didn't drop at all

     @rainignterror1080p That's the narrative, but I don't buy it. We had everyone sitting around at home, the UMC flush with easy cash and eager to spend it. No surprise that the standard inflation started to loft prices upward, then they never come down because nobody wants to take a loss. Bubble is sustained

     @Paultron @WashedOutGundamPilot I don't care if China wants to invade Taiwan, if they want to take it, let them try.

     What I really hate though is this retarded insistence by China that we pretend Taiwan isn't a separate polity from the Chinese mainland. I'm not going to help China make believe that they have sovereignty over that island. I'm not going to go along with their point at a deer, call it a horse bullshit. They don't run Taiwan, if they want to run Taiwan they need to invade the country and plant their flag on their capitol building.

     @john_rando @Paultron It's all gay but I sort of prefer them calling dibs every day forever instead of doing the US cuck policy of pretending it's not happening at all.

     Just a little better than "uh we aren't doing that at all, you're crazy to think we want reunification!"

     It's just more blatant looting, which....at least it's honest.

     @rainignterror1080p @DarkMahesvara Yeah it was just the one thing, that's all, just the one single thing in a time of unprecedented upheaval, and it's a simple cause

     so cool of the regime to find something out of their hands that so neatly takes the blame out of their control!

     @rainignterror1080p @WashedOutGundamPilot how does chip shortage effect cars that already have chips? it effects the market for new cars, everything else is just inflation
