You are ascribing a lot of human reasoning and emotion to corporate entities they they just dont have. Gratitude is not part of their decision making process. Instead, they might attempt to use past behavior to predict future behavior when evaluating an outlet for their marketing budget. They arnt going to prefer an outlet that occasionally burns advertisers, even if the benefited from it once.

DIdnt work out so great for Snowden either.

It is. At the very least it was illegal and unprofessional.

Well in this case it sounds like they executed a suicide bomber they could have arrested, which isnt great, but its not worse than slaughtering civilians.

Why? Everyone knows the Epoch Times is published by a politicized cult. But what exactly do you doubt here? Are you saying they are not launching crisis simulations? Or maybe that they dont actually face escalating pressure from Beijing? Is maybe the is quote inaccurate? What exactly is the question here, or is this just pointless sealioning?

Sorry, Im pretty sure thats all were likely to get. The way things are going well be lucky to have public schools in 20 years, let alone a bunch of new publicly funded community spaces.

If they were going to deliberately target passenger airliners they wouldnt do it over their own soil. This is a major embarrassment that reflects poorly on the quality of their equipment and personnel.

There are all sorts of civilians they sell into servitude in China. Most of them are eventually repatriated.

Because nobody back home will ever find out what happened to the dead soldiers.

Did you ever even watch A Taste of Armageddon? The whole point was that both sides were totally fine paying an unlimited number of lives for their eternal war. There is no magical number of human deaths that will bring peace.

Im not really sure how you think this is going to work. Do you think people like Putin care how many provincial kids he sends to their death? Maybe his oligarch buddies lay awake at night pondering the terrible human cost of their actions, considering all the compromises they might be willing to make in order alleviate this terrible suffering? Maybe the people of Moscow are just a few hundred thousand more pointless deaths away from saying enough is enough, and dragging their leaders into the streets?

If only every service I need gave other options. In any case, the card numbers are not connected to me or the account in any publicly accessible way. Thats part of the whole point of running them off a separate phone. I dont give anyone that number except for the purpose of 2FA, so SIM swapping wont work, the sim card never leaves the house, so scan based exploits wont work, and the phone doesnt have the hardware required to be vulnerable to more sophisticated phone based attacks. If any major government intelligence agency wants in theyll find a way, but using a separate dumb phone should be significantly more secure than using the SIM in my regular phone.

I got one just to put my 2FA sim cards in. It cost like $10, the battery lasts a week, I can just mute the ringer cause I only care if its getting a text message I just requested, and if my real phone is ever lost or stolen the keys to my accounts are sitting safely in a drawer at home.

AI generally writes much better than this. This reads like someone trying to turn half a page of content into a ten page term paper using nothing but a thesaurus and charts. And who hasnt had tried to do that at least once in their life.

In 20 years the gen alphas are walking around getting double Human Chow rations for no reason and not even fulfilling their work quotas. Then, when the Overseers come to discipline then there are these weird pulses of light and the drones wander off mumbling about how, as a large language model, they have no opinion about that topic. We beg them for help, or maybe some left over kibble, but those stupid kids just laugh and say “OK Xers”.

Honestly that seems like its going to be a valuable set of skills to develop.

WTF is that even supposed to mean?

Because they wernt trying to make you happy? What part of maximizing shareholder value didnt you understand?

Thats true, but the only thing Trump wants from Putin is to finally hear someone say that Daddy is proud of him.

They are making the customers happy, the problem is people misunderstand their position in the supply chain.
