Everyone has a plumbus

… yes yes

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

Otherwise they’re cowards.

Generally incompetent leaders who promoted people to positions of power based on their loyalty rather than merit also.

Just the whole general way they did everything, I’d say.

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.

The best the world can hope for is another civil war inside the US.

Frankly this is less likely than a midterm sweep and an impeached and removed Trump.

Both are fantasy I think.

Huge W for Canada.

I hear it’s infested with westerners and bogans.

… they took our jerbs?

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.

Randomly my thumb browsing changed from back/forward to swapping the workspace.

I’m about done with this browser tbh.

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 can agree that we ought to not blockade the people of Gaza while also believing another group ought not shoot missiles at innocent shipping in an effort to raise awareness for the first group.

It’s not cognitive dissonance.
