Don't forget your government did that purge of conservative elements from the bundeswehr about a decade ago, too. The majority voted for this, and those inbred retards are going to start causing way more trouble than they already do sooner rather than later. I hate seeing this shit happen in Europe. As bad as wetbacks are at least they're Christian. Everyone goes on and on about the nefarious Anglo but in reality you forget about the most evil European race on the continent: the Belgian. The faceless, unvoted Belgian bureaucrat in the EU making decisions for the entire continent.

Convenience.
Big corpo products make things that just werk. Boil things down to simple buttons.
All that intrusive shit? Well it's packaged as convenient features, "smart" features.
The redpill about people is they will trade away privacy and freedom for convenience and "safety".

Nobody gives a fuck about their rights.
Nobody gives a fuck about their privacy.
Nobody gives a fuck about owning anything.
So long as it doesn't interfere with stuffing food in their face and allowing them to engage in their slop entertainment.

I derived numbers for the Ukrainian side about a year into the war. It's the one I give people. My own post from the archive.

i took the statistics some german NGOs published regarding amputees in Ukraine, took the amputee, seriously injured (+48 hours out of combat) and death statistics from America during operation iraqi freedom, did some elementary-school arithmetic and estimated at least 600,000 losses for the ukrainians. and that's assuming the Ukrainians were fighting at least as well as the Americans did against the Iraqis. and that was not even two years into the war.
the numbers convinced my bro. he asked me why they were not surrendering and how could they sustain themselves. but i have no fucking idea other than NATO wanting to fight to the last Ukrainian.
here, have fun do the numbers yourself, all papers say amputation rates for us soldiers throughout modern conflicts are similar.

You can also derive a simple casualty rate as a function of serious injuries and also as a function of amputees, iirc, but I forgot the number.

I'm upgrading mine to an MSI 5070ti I found on Amazon during the sale for 826 bucks. Says it's about 50% better. I just better FPS on my 144hz monitor. I miss EVGA, dude. I hope my new card is good.

Same thing happening in all large US tech companies.
I have to supervise all the Indians because the Indian managers have told me they can't trust the judgement of the Indian offshore hires.
Meanwhile most of the dev is Indian onshore and offshore and there is rarely a deployment day without issues..and lately rollbacks have happened nearly every deployment, major or minor. Bugs pile up and don't get fixed.

I imagine every US tech company is going through the same pains as they continue this process to reduce costs so the line can artificially go up in the next quarter's reporting.

I'm pretty sure I'll lose this job soon.

The bright side is that as the products becomes shittier from these big tech companies that will leave room for new upstarts to take the reigns.
Or any company willing to course correct sooner rather than when it's too late.

From the global perspective, Jimmy was a young boy, alone in a dangerous world. He's grown and managed to start a following of warriors. Spike is in a similar position, though he volunteered to enter this world solo. Jimmy sees himself in Spike and without the Jimmy Saville connection the audience could infer they'll do a master and apprentice situation. If you know anything about Jimmy Saville, Jimmy collecting Spike will inevitably fall apart.
Spike and Jimmy are essentially the same character thrown into similar situations, Spike has a sense of justice and morals, Jimmy is a cutthroat survivalist, BOTH have the makings of a great leader, it just depends on their intentions. I'm looking forward to the sequels and their dynamic, but I really hate how Danny Boyle isn't directing them, so we'll see.

I have met no less than 6 women in my life with “Italia” tattoos who were completely hook-nosed freaks. Some of them went their whole lives thinking they’re Italian, others took DNA tests and had their tattoos removed kek

The leaf gets it.
This wasn't the state law this was the doctors fucking around.
The state should prosecute them for intentionally harming people.

It would be racist or something to point to call out China and India for their contributions to the problem.

The West is giving up the stars to play these games of pretend.

But also it's a nice grift for money.

Yep.
