I say turn them over to the Mechanicum and have yourself a new servitor loyal to the empirium.

When you were a child did you only ever talk about video games? Just curious.

I couldn’t get into voyager but I’ll go back and watch it all eventually. Lower decks was great. I found out about it watching SNW and was like wtf is this shit?! But after I went back and watched lower decks I got it and it was fun.

I’ll be honest, star trek is keeping my wallet open to paramount. All their other stuff meh…

Yeah but TSMC isn’t gonna just walk away and let China have it… They’re gonna sabotage all of it and leave them with nothing… and if they don’t do it themselves, the US will make it so…

How is Taiwan crucial for China? Locality? There’s nothing there of value aside from subjugation and a raw land grab.

The terrain makes it fairly defensible on the west coast. The economy would tank. Businesses of real value would implode.

The people don’t want to be “reunified” and will not tow the line so easily. China has never had to endure longterm modern asymmetrical warfare.

I just don’t see how it would benefit them vs the cost in the short and near term. If they could pull it off over 50 years then maybe but I don’t think it would play out that way.

Unless you’re on an instance that disabled downvotes… looking at you lemmynsfw…

That one scene where the guy was getting out of the car kinda looked like gta5 but the rest looked great…

So like xbox and Xbox live but without the Xbox lol

Wait tencent has ownership of epic games?

Even a few months ago you could barely access this place. Post errors, comment errors, login errors… multiple times a day.

I haven’t had an issue with the app I use or accessing the instance in maybe a month. I get on daily now too.

Oh yeah they’re not gonna do it, I’m just saying if it was true this is the chance to start over.

I’m not gonna lie, ever since the fall of the ottoman empire Arabs have been getting their asses kicked left and right. There is simply no respect for them at this point, no non Arab nation actually thinks they are not beneath them.

If Israel actually does this, this is Palestines best chance to do a hard reset, take the L, and rebuild on the principle of “no more terrorism”.

I’ve been using the nicotine pouches and there’s only addiction warning labels on them. But the whole time I’m thinking, I’m pretty certain nicotine isn’t good for the heart…

That’s the fucking dumbest thing I’ve read in a while. What a naive take…

What in cigarettes was causing heart attacks? Nicotine?

Yeah it was from that “privacy focused version of imgur”. I did some googling about it after it first came up like a week ago and couldn’t find any reputable sources, only something from a few years ago that mentioned a sizeable amount of satellites lost but it was expected.

Apparently it’s a “privacy focused” spinoff of Tumblr. Highly questionable.
