More here, companies in Taiwan can be better ally > [@The TSMC Thread](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/the-tsmc-thread/186172): > > UTokyo and TSMC said they plan to collaborate on cutting-edge research in materials, physics, chemistry, and other fields to push the limits of scaling… I assume this is to get chips under 2 nano? This is also the first time TSMC is collaborating with an entire university department. They’ve only done so with individual academics in the past. ---

Cultural appropriation haha. Rainbows are cute, pretty etc as well. I often attend rainbow gatherings… it’s not about gay, even though no one cares and we just treat people as equals. ---

> [@Mr\_PBH](#): > > > [@Explant](#): > > > > we just treat people as equals. > > That’s so heteronormative. Nope, exactly the polar opposite. Everyone is respected, and one doesn’t even need to bring up their sexuality as a form of justifying themselves at a party. Just be you, don’t focus on the genetics. If a conversation is based on one’s gender, sexuality, race, skin tone etc, it’s probably a pretty shallow conversation. Deeper issues need attention, thus discussed. ---

> [@Mr\_PBH](#): > > So, all lives matter? Some dont? I think…well objectivity dictates…all lives do indeed actually matter. How and why we can discuss 🙂 I would push further and even say that non-tyrannical lives deserve a certain level of respect.
