        I hope the Brazilian drug enforcement agency doesn’t punish me for smoking weed, but I’m not too concerned cause they’re across the world and extra-judicial punishment is frowned upon.

        What do you think China is, like seriously. I am curious. Do you seriously think the “evil CCP” is going to see this guy get a gift at his wedding and black bag him? If you ever went to China you’d realize not only is it the safest country on Earth, but the police there are very nice, and understanding. People are treated with dignity. Even if you break the law they take your character and circumstances into account. There’s a reason the government has such high approval ratings there. It’s a common thing there for people to not be worried about issues such as AI because they say, “Well the government won’t let anything bad happen.” They fully trust that to be true. Because the track record is so good.

          No I was actually worried about the USA throwing a fit, black bag him here if we visits. I have no faith in the current leadership and I feel like they mean most people harm.

            Oh okay. I just assumed you were a like rabidly anti-China person sorry. I don’t think the US would care much about the person getting the GPU tho. They’d more go after the smugglers themselves. Maybe they’d ask him some questions about where it came from but he didn’t do the smuggling so can’t get him for that. And I imagine China would have something to say about one of their citizens being arrested in the US on a charge like “owning a GPU”. So he’d probably be fine.

              You’re probably right, China would actually care about their people being harassed.

            then what are all those cameras for?

            Because America doesn’t have any security cameras right?

            Why is winnie the pooh bad?

            This is entirely unserious liberal nonsense. You cannot win arguements on policy or outcome so you create these made up things to be mad about.

            why can’t I talk about Tiananmen Square?

            Not only can you talk about it you can go there. Since you are referring to “The Tiananmen Square Massacre” I would challenge you to actually learn about it.
