Just wealth transfers to the rich, nothing to see here.

If you don't enjoy doing your hobby unless you're producing something of substance that can help you receive praise from others. Is it really a hobby you do for the sake of personal enjoyment and growth or just something you think society views as a worthwhile past time you've latched onto just to get validation?

Drag the war long enough and those children will grow up to be next in line as cannon fodder and the issue will solve itself.

To be fair, going by Wikipedia standards a lot of those claims would need sources regardless.

I keep forgetting that not paying one's debt is viewed as a crime in the USA regardless of the reason as to why you can't pay.

Most of these countries pretend that they were the ones that helped the South Africans fight against apartheid from behind the scenes. These same countries also adhere to the opinion that Israel isn't an apartheid state. So are we really surprised that they defend the genocide that is going on?

WeChat reader 微信读书, only issue is that if you upload a book they will read everything. So get used to suddenly a page number being read out loud.

Maybe you could get a paid version of ChatGPT and remove all numbers and annotations.

In China, most people equate being a communist with being a party member. Being communist isn't just some kind of label you associate yourself with, like in the West. I know from first-hand experience, because telling people I'm a socialist/communist in China prompts them to ask me whether I'm a party member. The average communist in the West can't hold a candle against the dedication and sacrifice of cadres in China. Heck, even people that aren't communists are often enrolled into semester long programs that require them to listen to socialist thought every weekday for 2 hours a day, all because their work requires it (due to receiving government funds, or working on projects that directly influence the wellbeing of others -> i.e. creating a private-sector web platform that harvests user data, which it can only use for the good of society).

In the future, if you want to know more about a certain phrase or topic, and the hand-wavy explanations on the web don't do it for you: You can add 导读, which will guide you through the terms and their meaning, often by giving practical examples. Here is a rather succinct explanation of every social value.

Unless it has improved in the last 5 months, I'm passing. Somehow can't concentrate on their TTS. Might have to do with the stuff I want it to read.

Thanks for the tip though

Going by their pricing model I'd have to pay $330 at mininum going by my listening habits... What the.

$22 a month for 2 hours. That's crazy! It'd be cheaper for me to hire an actual person with these prices. I was thinking of like $10 a book. They're asking at least ten-fold...

Wish I could use this technology for myself to listen to non-fiction books. Even if it costs $10 I'd still feel it'd be worth it.
