Comment Re:Because SHEIN isn't big enough in EU yet (Score 1) 104

I've no idea what your "experience" with EU in this regard is, but I would suggest checking your mental illness medication dosage if you at any point observed them to be outside spectrum ranging from "utterly awful shit like literally using police to deliver local underage girls to rape gangs" of EU era UK to "just occupy our own nation with our army to desperately try to hold off migrant terrorists" France and "just sweep it under the rug and prosecute anyone who tries to point out the problems".

In US, they at least sell laws on being good for the public. In EU they just launder them through aristocratic Commission and rubber stamp EU Parliament, and in rare cases where shit isn't utterly awful, highest court is used to issue rulings that bind national courts to just ignore inconvenient legislation outright.

Last two decades called. They want their retarded narrative back.

For those not in the know, that's when highest EU court issued its interpretation of article 8 of ECHR. It treats everything in it as dead letter when it comes to "national security and public safety" exceptions that are written into the aforementioned article to mass immigration into EU. Immigrants have a right to private family and life, and that means infinite right to immigrate and not be removed no matter how much of a threat to national security they are.

Examples of this number in hundreds of thousands to millions of immigration cases at this point in time. There have only been a tiny handful of exceptions, and those usually happened on a tail end of someone offending European bureaucratic aristocracy on a personal level.

Ten seconds of thinking tells me that this will make it more costly to have a proper store network in EU.

So this will boost foreign storefronts that only import into EU what has been purchased by a customer already, and penalize anyone who actually has a proper retail store in EU.

This goes hand in hand with recent EU announcement that IS fighters cannot have their refugee status rejected based on them being members of that terrorist organization. Overbearing bureaucracy driven utterly insane by its sheer size and need to regulate more to justify its existence acting as it does.

If I remember correctly, the pregnancy thing went further. She didn't even know she was pregnant yet. The system just flagged her behavioral changes as associated with pregnancy.

Because most of our behavioral patterns never reach conscious mind. They're decided on a different cognitive level. Our awareness of ourselves is quite low for evolutionary reasons.

That sounds like a set of good changes then. Walking the tightrope of "keep the sport interesting and audience engaged while maintaining the spirit of the thing while keeping it acceptably safe" in the world when we value life and health much higher and have much lower risk tolerance is difficult.

Props to people responsible if they managed it for American Football. I've seen much worse results of trying to integrate those very social trends in other sports.

"How dare you ask questions from someone who demonstrates knowledge in an interesting subject that you lack" is certainly an accusation.

I confess. Yes, I do this all the time. When I don't know something, I will often ask someone who does. I'm 100% guilty of this.

What is my sentence in the court of opinionated retards?

PRC has significantly tighter rules on cars being sold into their massive market that this.

You can't even do it. Until very recently, you had to partner with a local and give them access to your technology. Which meant local just put up a second factory with their copy of your tech next door.

Does that mean PRC can't compete or is there perhaps another reason?

If I remember history of this one correctly, American Football didn't originally have the current head banging style of play, because helmets were initially not used at all, and when they came, they were primitive.

As protective gear got better, it led to goal oriented to athletes aimed at winning to play in ways that new protective gear enables them to play. I.e. better helmets = more banging heads together.

The one thing that will work is rule change. But rule changes always carry a risk of losing a lot of audience that will find the game after rule change to be too boring to watch.

And ultimately, top tier sports are all about what spectators want. Athletes at that level are ultimately selling a service.

Your error lies in assumption the fundamental liberal dogma of "universal human" being true.

We are not universal. We have completely different genetic and environmental patterns. Han for example are on average of significantly higher intellect, which enables greater modes of cooperation and coercion.

This results in wildly divergent presuppositions you're assuming to be true, because you incorrectly hold human universalism to be true.

This is why you struggle to even grasp the concept of "state that isn't sovereign, and ideological entity within the state that is", much less all the derivatives from this concept.

This is easily visible in the fact that you go into the realm of universal logic as an analogy for human behavior.

It's easy if you have empathy for the communists who have to implement policy and understand how they think.

Hint: the entire concept of "state" in state actor is utterly alien to them. They do not serve the state, as in PRC state is not sovereign. CCP is sovereign, and they serve the Party.

Party has ideological goals that must be followed, regardless of what you think about them on a personal level as a rank and file apparatchik. You have an ideological duty to maintain ideological purity in your ranks.
