So his Macbook, that he purchased overseas, magically started to quit software running locally when unapproved searches like "how to" (In English, no less!) were performed. Despite the Chinese government actively trying to encourage people to use the internet for more educational purposes. That is more likely than the software known to be inefficient bugging out because he had 60 tabs open?

They must have inserted the evil CCP virus when it was manufactured in the country, and programmed it to activate if the geofencing ever entered China again. There's no other possible explanation.

There's a Mac version, it doesn't come bundled though. I am not sure how many people actually download it. If you want to drain your macbook battery in record time, it is the fastest way to do that.

It goes against every established military doctrine too when the exact opposite is normally the case. I feel like their higher-ups have internalized their own propaganda that the Russians must all be dumb savages, and they are basing their strategy around that assumption.

"But Ukrainians, who have repeatedly surprised the world in their success against Russian military might, "

I would absolutely be surprised if there was...any real evidence of that happening. The only surprising thing is how badly they are managing the resources they have been given.

Sidenote: Aren't they using their exploitation reserves at this point to even reach into the grey zone? You know, the forces that were being held for when all the lines of defense were already breached. What are they planning to use to exploit the breaches? How are they going to maintain logistic lines into enemy territory without any means to secure them?

Nevermind that Russia still has pretty substantial reserves, which would presumably be allocated if there actually was a major breach.

Good thing there were no massive fires recently in any states within their own country that need aid, or a widespread epidemic of homelessness, or people starving in the streets.

Must be great that they have everything so under control domestically that there is absolutely nothing else that that money could be spent on. So yeah, keep it going forever, that seems to make sense.

The lines from politicians (of both sides of the american political party) about how happy they are they get to kill russians without any American lives lost is the most telling thing, they don't give a shit about anyone in Ukraine. Lives lost don't mean a single damn to them.

Any Ukranian who sees that shit should realise that the west doesn't care about them for a second. They are in for a rude awakening if they think the average person will see a single american dollar to provide water, food or blankets. Incidentally, all things Evil China has provided to them already.

My favourite pasttime is just looking at the other bylines these authors have to see if they are just as shitty as I think they are. (Spoiler: Yes, they always are).

This man brought us such bangers as:

"How Minimum Wage and Rent Control Laws Fail the ‘Bronowski Test'"

"The Biggest Thing That Separates Authoritarians From Supporters of Freedom"

"35 of Ayn Rand’s Most Insightful Quotes on Rights, Individualism, and Government"

"The Myth That the Rich Don’t Pay Their “Fair Share” of Taxes"

Sounds like a real winner.

I regularly see people try to defend Finland using it because it predates nazism, but so what. Acknowledging it is forever tainted by association and that maybe they should distance themselves from it isn't admitting some type of defeat.

People probably rocked Hitler moustaches before him too, but you don't see people running around with them anymore (except one comedian in my country that I absolutely despise).

Don't give them ideas.

I feel like it's that last one. If they don't make an anti-China gesture, people might think they are evil authoritarian supporter.

Remember, diplomacy is now only talking to people who agree with you 100% on everything. Otherwise you are expected to walk out of any meetings they have been invited to. My nephew would be a better diplomat than most of these assholes.

Good. I enjoy food/cooking/eating content, I love to cook and I am totally down for someone to cook/eat a reasonable meal and provide feedback on it on a stream.

I do not want to see people eating 600 chicken wings in ten minutes or something though. It's not nutritious, you can't even possibly enjoy the taste at that point anymore and it just encourages really unhealthy habits.

Definitely not; we don't eat it that often even in Japan. While yes we have fast food variants of sushi that are readily available; it's overall more of a special dinner/occasion type food. I probably eat sushi once every couple months.

The only thing I could see being included in a lunch is something like inari-zushi, my office serves that as a side dish lunch a lot (which would get around the food safety concerns). We have chiraishi zushi at the office specifically on Girl's Day, because it is a holiday thing.

An elementary school might have something similar on holidays, but generally the school menus are planned by a nutritionist on staff that does a pretty good job. It gets tricky for kids with special diets, which are often not well accomodated, and there is a weird obsession with milk despite the prevalance of lactose intoelrance.

EDIT: We have a massive food waste problem too, so we are no better in that regard, but at least our school lunches are pretty good.
