Everyone has a plumbus

Go all in on the owl theme, wait staff wears owl costumes and the food is … owl themed.

Otherwise they’re cowards.

Yes. That’s how sanctions work.

Part of the intention is to pressure citizens of the country for violating international law so they exert pressure on their governments to stop.

Another part is to remove the use of tooling to support the sanctioned nation.

Russia could stop the war and problem is solved. This isn’t Microsoft being the bad guy, this is Microsoft following international law.

Russia is free to fuck off out of Ukraine, simple as.

You mean git inherently requires you to identify yourself?

Huh, shock

Russia is being sanctioned because of its aggressive war against Ukraine.

Microsoft aren’t the bad guys for enforcing international sanctions.

… they took our jerbs?

Someone didn’t get the joke he made in the video

China is making and selling a vehicle at an impossibly cheap price because they are artificially manipulating the international price. Thats the only issue.

It’s weird that people can’t understand this BUT when a megacorp does it we all can see it.

It’s fair to call market manipulation for what it is, even if it’s the USA doing it or China doing it or META doing it. We don’t have to pretend.

Flooding the market with impossibly cheap products that can’t be competed against isn’t a good thing when anyone does it.

Christ this is a short sighted view.

We have regulations on markets for a reason, to prevent unfair advantage.

Just because the US is protecting their interests doesn’t mean that what China is doing isn’t a deliberate effort to drive others out of business.

It’s an aggressive market tactic and it isn’t good when China does it, just as it isn’t good when a megacorp races to the bottom to drive a mom and pop out of business.

They did the same thing with solar panels and it was a net detriment on the industry NOT and advantage for the consumer.

The US military still teaches the difference between a lawful and unlawful order.

Just following orders doesn’t work in the US military.

Now … whether the people who end up in the military are willing and capable and able to differentiate is a different story

I find myself asking an AI things and getting an answer that makes me go “what the actual fuck, why would you do this when you SHOULD do it this other way”

Which is the best way it’s helped me.

Making me realize I know what I’m doing already.

Mango Mussolini gives that beautiful alliteration

You don’t have voting privacy here on Lemmy though, and theoretically instance admins could “punish” you based on voting patterns.

But decentralization helps that

Maybe your opinionated assertion of what’s better ought to be recognized for what it is?

Your points are salient until you start yucking other people’s yum. The person you were responding to was obviously being good natured.

I loved that game.

I didn’t have it but my mom’s friends son had it and I would be STOKED when we were going over there.

9/10 my mom would be like <son> won’t be there so you might be bored, but he has a Nintendo….
