The point of the TPP is to establish free trade agreements with other Pacific Rim nations so that we can move factories out of China, where we already have a free trade agreement, and into more exploitable populations. Essentially, the Chinese workers have managed to elevate themselves through back-breaking work and have come to expect decent wages and a lifestyle above perpetually toiling in abject poverty. This is sub-optimal, so we are abandoning that growing middle class for 3rd world slaves in countries we can better control and extort when they act up.

IOW, the TPP is bad for China, as I understand it.

how come people are against it, that sounds pretty solid

I got my big forums break by posting in QCS circa 2014 so nah. I even had a QCS sig idea but I'm not a very good artist.

It was best when it had "your suggestions are gonna get made fun of" in the rules.

Chinese spies have twisted their minds using socialist magicks. Just like when Russia convinced a generation of idiots that nukes weren't the best thing ever.

It IS really bad but whoever Evil Nooner is a rereg of just doesn't appreciate the casual badness of a Jastiger thread, IMO

i do encourage people to post the terrible/hilarious aftermath of drugs theyve bought and taken tho, especially if it includes being severely maimed or jailed

I am very concerned about fyad's blatant racism and i think it's time it gets removed/deleted. It had a good run, but I think its existence threatens the viability of the forums and its ability to bring in new users

I agree. Hopefully there will be a setting of some sort in the new forum software where users can choose to hide fyad from the forum listing. That way your boss or loved ones don't have to see whatever embarrassing dull "edgy" title about pedophilia or rape or whatever they have that week.

If you promise to look at it and conclude it is a good thread that will benefit GBS, go ahead. It might be nice to get the permission of the thread-maker but I'm not gonna tell you how to run byob.

Yeah I wouldn't be sending things that are bad. Sometimes there are good thread ideas in BYOB that just don't ever get traction because there are less posters. Worst comes to worst they'll just sink in GBS but they were already buried in BYOB anyway.

No but I have a pandaboard, a more expensive one. I won it for free at a conference but I didn't hook a vape up to it or anything. I'm slipping.
