    The sadder thing is that Chinese social credit hasn’t actually even been implemented, and doesn’t seem like it’s going to. There are only limited local experiments, most of which are allegedly largely irrelevant.

    Whereas there are multiple credit score companies currently tracking literally everyone who has a bank account.






  • I guess the one thing that could be better is actually seeing her friends, but that depends a lot on where you live. Being French, all my friends lived within 10 minutes walking distance so we would see each other basically every single day after school ! I think that was a lot better than being on discord, I wish everyone had the opportunity to do that too. It was a lot of fun !

    ( Also, we played video games like constantly 😆 so I wouldn’t be shocked if our screen time went over 4 hours quite regularly, but at least everyone was in the same room and we also could go play in the garden and stuff. Walkable cities are real, and they’re real awesome, having always lived in one myself. )


  • Complete anecdotal evidence : I’m vegan, and here in France almost none of what I eat has gone up in price much at all.

    I don’t buy any fake meats, I just buy rice / legumes / vegetables / fruit and cook them. I tend to add a lot of spicy sauce, which also hasn’t changed much in price (but it was expensive to begin with).

    I guess check the price of vegan whole foods ? I dont know if this is applicable to any other country, let alone any other supermarket 😆
