Totally worth reading, just great internet creativity

With the number of trackers on most sites you usually get a performance boost with an extension vetting each network call

He probably found it very hard to make any accounts on computers

Unless you’re using js in your hardware drivers it’s very unlikely to bring down the entire computer

But with the state of software development maybe you are /o\

He writes all day. He can’t have time to listen to anyone with his volume of output :D

Link to show invading is not trivial https://thediplomat.com/2021/05/why-a-taiwan-invasion-would-look-nothing-like-d-day/

Enforcing a blockade around an island full of long range anti ship and air defences, aided by the US military, is extremely hard. Also and more importantly it’s a very long dragged out war that gives Taiwan time to build allies, and the west to organise, which will make it harder and harder to enforce.

Finally you’re replying to someone saying the war will take a long time, which you initially disagree with then go on to talk about an embargo which more than agrees with it. It’s going to take ages to resolve if they attack and it’ll almost certainly include Russia distracting NATO in Europe. I dearly hope china sees sense and gets rid of xi before his desperation for personal achievements in his lifetime causes the nation and world a lot of pointless suffering

The us military is constantly experiencing warfare.
If anyone in that pic turns out to have been swimming naked it’ll be the chinese

I sometimes wonder if they’re just bad at it, so the astro turfing is obvious. The people posting have to be immersed in and understand the western site to blend in while remaining loyal to a very different kind of home communication and they often don’t manage it, and if they do that difference makes them stand out.

While we have dozens of western police show up in any discussion of police violence to explain that it’s really hard. Not even astroturfing, I think, just people being themselves. Aside from being obviously police their posting style blends in perfectly, if there were western astroturf campaigns I think they would blend perfectly and use much more subtle techniques

It took two hundred years or so to cause this, It might take longer to fully fix but that’s why we start right now.

I see the murders out in force in this thread, so keen to stop innocent civilians being killed they cheer on people…shooting at civilians.

Hamas attacking Israel civilians is wrong Israel attacking palastinian civilians is wrong Houthis attacking civilian sailors is wrong

Is not complicated and anyone who can’t see it needs to go outside and rub themselves in grass.

Unfair to tankies. He really is that awful.

Western military uses bombs and missiles from planes not artillery. There isn’t much artillery ammo because our military isn’t set up to use it.

Ukraine doesn’t have the air superiority to risk doing the same thing so the way they fight doesn’t match the way Europe or the us does.

No I’m afraid not. I think this is clearer, another article on that site

He once claimed that while food banks were necessary there were too many food banks due to do-gooders starting them to feel better about themselves. And that people could feed themselves on 30p a day if they knew how to budget.

This turned out to be a local food bank that managed to feed a load of people on £50 that worked out to 30p each for one meal. Obviously not something you can do at home however good your budgeting

I could line by line this but these are civilians working on a ship, they don’t choose anything, especially they don’t choose where the ship goes which is international waters not Yemeni waters. The attacks are on ships in international waters

Of course they “had ties”, international shipping ownership and flag choice is absolute chaos. You can justify almost anything to almost any vessel.

Attacking a civilian ship “Once registered in Britain” thousands of miles away from a country you claim to be blockading is absolutely not a valid target it’s an obvious war crime.

The defence of this shit undermines the entire opposition to Israel, the moral argument for stopping Israel from killing civilians is very clear but when the people arguing for it most strongly see attacking other civilians as perfectly fine the entire case starts to look like just a convenient cover for anti semetism.

You can earn 5k and spend 10k if you get a pay rise of 5k next month

In practice they spend a few percent more than they take in taxes and grow by a little more or less than that. COVID was a big jump in real debt but other than that it’s generally stable ish

It’s not obviously unsustainable

The thing is it’s profitable because they pay themselves less than they make in income. We don’t really know how sustainable their pay is

What do you expect NATO to do? A drone strike??
