Parents not even 20 years ago had no way of knowing and it wasn't a problem.

Aren't there treaties against fissile materials in orbit? I remember reading something about it.

The fact that this was made with a few geometric shapes makes it feel like part of some specific artistic style.

I do not believe any serious future society will allow completely anonymous internet for its users. There's just too much harm that comes from being able to say and do whatever without your person being associated with it.

Agreed, but there's a lot of places where being a leftist = liking weed and people really think letting recreational drugs go loose is some benefit to society.

Well, most wunderwaffe we know about at least got a few units made, but I suppose it's the best term here too.

We need a term for vaporware military equipment, because by the time this plane is "ready" the US will have collapsed.

Didn't they send one limping home for "unrelated repairs"?

This is a side to the fact that the US has been unsuccessful in modern conventional warfare that I did not even entertain. But it does make so much sense when you are the rabid former world power.

Isn't that the one where getting hit forces you to roll to not go into shock? I expected it to go fast and deadly.

Except traditional management is about removing as much power from the people that actually do the work as possible, so that's why this bingo even exists.

I would say that while the movies focus on the lies and treachery aspect of it, the fact that the emperor simply proclaims the empire and everyone cheers for it seems very realistic these days.

Just the title is a weird but sort of ok question. The body however makes it some sort of "good deeds of fascism" to me. Why would you expect anything good from a cartoonish villain that you describe as a "ruthless enforcer for the empire"?

Do you feel a recommendation algorithm of some sorts is something lemmy will need for bigger audiences?

It's impressive how the ideology of capitalism hates people so much to the point that they'd rather have billions of equipment be unused than invest a single cent more into the people they need.

The heck does Luxembourg need 2B euros for?

Absolutely.

If Taiwan doesn't fall completely in the first 48h or so, and the US feels ready for the conflict (which I'd expect them to if there's a war) what will happen is that they'll interdict shipping to and from China using anti-ship missiles, which will also make any naval landing difficult. So I expect China to either sucessfully land quickly (and thus, win) or not at all.

Also they'll most certainly bomb TSMC into the stone age, but I haven't seen evidence that this is, explicitly, part of the strategy.

There's also reason to believe that they'll get occupied Korea and Japan to help, but what exactly their role, other than providing weapons and munitions from their stockpiles, is unclear.

Imagine making the most expensive game of the time, using one of the biggest IPs, as sequel to one of the best selling series of games, and deciding to make it an inferior clone of WoW.

Then they wonder why it couldn't keep their players.

I'm salty that AA games aren't a thing anymore since investors only want the big moneys and indies are all generic pixel art.
