Please, mao was an anti-intellectual, paranoid moron. He had no understanding of how economies work, expelled foreigners, and had an inability to admit fault. There's zero parallels.

similarly, looking for products online, product locators very often claim a store will have something when they don't. Or stores will default to online availability, when I'm looking for in-store availability. It's driving me insane.

my god, if I search -'term' or NOT 'term', 'term' should not be the first result. Google is worthless and only saved by how worthless other search engines are

poorly worded, but you get my point. It's infuriating they still use polygraphs too. They may as well ask your astrology sign.

Looking at people who are deep into, say, hacking culture or learning complicated foreign languages, you usually don't learn those skill levels by living a totally bland, conventional life. Applying to some 3 letter agencies recently, it seems like their pot rules are biting them in the ass more
