Saw them open for Blink earlier this year, was surprised how good the live show they put on was. I hadn't heard of them before and they rocked it.

Not to mention that COVID season is already starting up again and with things like long COVID still not being understood fully it's absolutely ridiculous that people are being herded back into an office.

Be careful with that second sentence. Keep in mind that there's an age everyone experiences, not just white men, where people feel isolated and unheard. Believing that it only applies to young white men is a slippery slope into the mindset that creates these whackjobs.

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

Random team meeting on the first Friday after I got hired. "Telltale has lost it's funding and everyone is being let go". Fun week.
