Eh, I hate the guy but I don’t really care how much of a whiney little hypocrite this makes him, because I already knew all that.

The extent to which I care about this is the extent to which I can use it to point out hypocrisy on the right. Which isn’t honestly very much since they don’t care about being hypocrites.

Do you have to back up everything off site?

Maybe there are just a few critical files you need a disaster recovery plan for, and the rest is just covered by your raidz

This has been happening for a while on shit like toktok. I personally suspected Russia.

This was not a defense of the USA you braindead idiot. I did not offer “feeling threatened” as an excuse for the USAs behaviour. The USA is threatened by the mere existence of successful countries that are not hypercapitalist (although tbf the tool used in this case is usually a coup, rather than bombs).

Not all countries consider the same things to be threats.

You can make that exact same argument about dropping bombs.

When countries are threatened and dropping bombs relieves that threat instead of increases it, then they do. It’s just that right now violent escalation doesn’t benefit China, so it stays in the realm of sabre rattling

I had to think about this for a sec
