It does feel like zoomies and kids in general have lost a lot of technical knowledge when it comes to computers.

I mean as long as this doesn't make you feel inadequate or some other negative stuff like that.

I've sometimes seen people making exceptions for countries they like. China being a prominent example

No, Romans didn't make the Sahara. The myth is usually that they salted the earth when they destroyed Carthage but that isn't true either

We are talking about walking right now though since that's the preferable alternative to both

It would be silly to leave out the option of walking because the article didn't mention it lol

I'd rather they walk or take public transit, taxi etc.

I got as far as

As this internal CIA document made publically available by FOIA shows, The Atlantic Council, is a CIA front.

I didn't see any mention of The Atlantic Council in it. Does the link lead to the correct document or did I just miss it?

E: It directs me to the front page of the reading room, not to a pdf

They didn't say those were owed to anyone. Just that they're being siphoned off

It's just that when it's titled "Reddit AMA **claiming** to be A Uyghur..." you sorta expect it to be scrutinizing that particular claim. Should be titled differently imo

I'm not seeing anything in that article saying she isn't Uyghur. It mentions that she has a degree from Xinjiang University which is located in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

I think you could better word your post to reflect that you're suspicious about her claims for who she has worked for instead of her being Uyghur, if I understood correctly what's happening

Not all of any social media, including Reddit but also fediverse, is going to be organic. Not that that means the general sentiments aren't real.
