The Family Guy skit about this is one of my favorites.

Ok tankie. Let me take over your house and if you don’t like me, you can leave.

What a clown.

And China only cares about Taiwan for the land and the image it projects of “reunifying China”. They don’t care about the people in Taiwan since a vast majority don’t want to be invaded by China.

Look at how well the Hong Kong “reunification” went.

Except YoY California comes up with new ways to screw solar panel owners and funnel more money to the power companies. It’s movie studio levels of accounting looking through bills and all the non-bypass’s law charges.

What are you talking about?

Yeah that tracks. No, support for Taiwanese unification with China is not gaining support. Look at the posturing China is doing with its military. Look at the steps Japan is starting to take to prepare for this possibility.

Don’t look at the front lines. Look at the Russian economy. It’s more likely that the Russian economy collapses or Putin is overthrown due to some internal power struggles or uprising than it is for Ukraine to militarily defeat Russia.

That is as long as the West continues to support Ukraine with the bare minimum to bleed both sides continuously.

Keep typing or the Kremlin may pull you from your desk job and send you to the front lines. 🌻🌻🌻

I swear every single Plex related thread has the same Jellyfin fanatics coming in. Same energy as “my MIL has trouble with her computer” “just install Linux bro!” comments.

Oh the poomanity!

It’s also to reduce Russia’s influence in South America.

Unfortunately, this is just a stark lesson for any other country out there. Do not give up your nuclear weapons no matter what “guarantees” you get.

Bonus points for the em dash!

I’m waiting for an LLM integrated Lemmy app that will let me click a button like “OP is wrong, write me a reply telling them so”

And yet Chinese made defense systems have utterly failed in Pakistan and Iran. Any conflict involving Japan and China would pull the US in on the side of Japan. Redo those numbers and good luck with that.

Troll post, useful idiot, or a 🌻 to be

Not sure what point you’re trying to make, but all of those things you listed besides blockchain have revolutionized the world. I know this is a blanket “I hate everything about AI” community, and it is absolutely overhyped, but this is not some tech than will disappear.

What’s funny is that if someone said (a * b) * c is the same as (c * b) * a, you’d probably say “of course it is”.

Same trick here if you show it as (4* 1/100) * 75 rewritten as (75 * 1/100) * 4.

The difference is that you’re just some edgelord online, not the POTUS. So absolutely sick of the hypocritical “decorum” bullshit republicans eschew. Trump has as much class as a gas station hot dog rolling around all day long.

An AI that moves the mouse on your screen so you don’t need to! Now you can go back to work while your mouse doom scrolls for you.
