Sometimes these things are also a trap. Someone will deliberately be positioned to make a public opposition stand, just to flush out anyone who would support them.

Probably, but only in retrospect.


Military force kills people and breaks things. The US military is incredibly good at this. Wielding the power of destruction in a manner that produces positive outcomes is the job of politicians, and the Executive Branch happens to be incredibly bad at this.


Where do you think that proportion wasted is wasted? What happens when energy costs spike and plastics become more expensive? When logistics, transport and storage costs go up, waste doesn’t vashish, it grows exponentionally.


Im sure it will be great comfort to the billions who starve in a global famine while we spend decades building out the infrastructure for that.

Yes, the deadly drug known by the street names “black gold” and “Texas tea”.


Its sabotage. The leadership is incompetent, but they only make the rules. The people below them are the ones actually doing things.


Yes back then we didn’t have Facebooks and Mypages. We didn’t even have blogs really. If you wanted to post something on the internet you got yourself a Geocities account and made your own homepage using HTML. That usually just meant putting up dozens of animated gifs saying the page was under construction. If you wanted everyone to know you were a really edgy badass who didn’t play by the rules you’d have some laughing skulls and a gif of Diablo doing his attack animation. If you actually had something to say on your page you could use the <blink> html tag </blink> so that everyone would know just how important the message was, and also to give them eye cancer.


Its been pretty obvious for a long time that peaceful reunification is unlikely under current conditions and public desire for it is just being used as leverage. Every decade that rolls by the two nations move further apart culturally and economically, and the number of people who remember a unified Korea shrink.


One hour of surveillance a day, but you never know which hour it will be.


And not even the common courtesy of an off base Camaro with a custom exhaust at 60% APR? Savages.


Well I mean if Putin wants you gone he doesn’t need a rule to permit it, but his sort of law is about pushing that oppressive power down to lower levels of the chain. You dont need to catch the attention of anyone important, you can be oppressed by an anonymous low level clerk on a power trip.


Wait, Im confused. Which ones the hyper capitalist and which ones the fascist?


The US, China, Russia and more all have the capability to reach out and touch a data center in orbit. Further, such a facility wont last long without regular and extensive ground based support, which will very much be in someone’s jurisdiction. Finally, if a mega corp cant even get one government somewhere on Earth to let them operate a single micro data center without interference then they hardly have the pull required to make a play at world domination.


It would be so much easier, cheaper and more practical to just retrofit a cargo ship and float it in international waters…or pick a jurisdiction on land that doesnt give a shit as long as you pay them.


Probably not. Russia’s motives dont stem from a communications failure. They stem from predatory imperialist intent, and they arnt scared of the EU or Canada.


I dont think its even the money with these guys. They want worship and adulation, and MAGA is primed to do it. All the worst megalomaniacs are drawn to them like moths to a flame.


I doubt he ever knew that.
Surely this leopard will not eat my face. When will people learn, hell always, always, betray you eventually, unless you have the tapes.
