    1. They promoted conservatives including Trump by name, the AfD, and many other nations using their TikTok psyop and other media outlets, to great effect as the largest conservative shift ever recorded among youth happened in the USA and basically guaranteed Trump's second term. They also run psyops in South Korea namely the Gender War.
    2. They gave weapons and funds to the IRGC which then funneled them into Lebanon, Gaza, Egypt, etc as well as infiltrating positions of authority in Hamas, and were used in the October Music Festival attack which ignited the Genocide. They also vetoed any UN Ceasefire resolutions which the USA would agree too, namely with release of hostages in the terms. The IRGC also used those weapons in Iran on their own citizens killing more protestors than the entire USA conflict, not even counting the starvations under the Ayatollahs rule.
    3. They're committing genocides in Xinjiang and occupied Tibet. They also used full military force on their Hong Kong takeover with tanks and all instead of leaving it as an autonomous economic territory.
    4. They have been running Air Raid drills over Taiwan and threatening to invade, likely already would have happened if Xi Jinping didn't play a round of musical chairs by executing his own top generals.
    5. They militarily supported the coups in Nicuragua, Venezuela, and Myanmar recently, many others in the past. They're the primary sponsor of North Korea.
    6. They're the singular crutch upon which Russia's war on Ukraine continues, has continued for years.
    7. Chinese Gangs for years operated Pig Butchering scams against the west.
    8. The router Botnets which have attacked Steam, Visa, and various infrastructure around the world was based out of China.
  • They would outpace demand regardless in order to undercut competitors at a loss, just like they did with Cobalt alloys and electric vehicles.

    Only a matter of time before the rugpull if we let them in.

  • Fuck CXMT and every other Chinese action, if you think they're in it for your interests then you're a bigger dupe than a Trump supporter.

  • IMO the smart move would be to embargo China entirely as a result of their frequent hostile actions and attacks directly on US Democracy.

  • Can't deny it but China is always worse, so theres that to consider.

  • Just wait until the extended support for Windows 10 runs out.

  • I like thst you can easily pick a theme to make it look like either Windows Vista or Mac depending on your mood.

    Why the floating taskbar is default boggles my mind, though.

  • Same with servers, Linux actually the majority there for a long long time.

  • Well they could prosecute him when his term ends but they'll never convict before he becomes president again in 2032.

  • Validity aside, it isn't an engineering discipline, that's right.

    Programmers are important and do important work but programming doesn't make somebody a physician, or sheriff, or attorney, or congressman.

    When control valves in a reactor don't appear to be having an effect you don't call the comp sci guy in to run diagnostics on the terminal, first, instead you call the engineers who manually seal the valves and shuts down the turbines to prevent coolant loss.

  • As far as being an engineer goes, correct. Finally getting it.

  • I stated that doctor was a protected title and it is, my lack of specification matters not.

  • Well I am not planning to familiarize myself with every single engineering accrediting institution on earth nor would it have any impact on my beliefs of what is and is not an engineering discipline.

  • I guess theres still debate about it but:

    • The notes in Cinnebar Mansion say there were tons of failed expiriments to create a clone of mew specifically in the first location you find Dittos
    • The only other location where you find Dittos is where you find MewTwo who is the same color as Ditto
    • Ditto and Mew both use Transform, have the same weight and similar stats, and both have blue shinies
    • I could be misremembering but I faintly recall the Pokémon movie showing actual ditto-like goo turning into clones in the Team Rocket cloning vats

    The best argument against this is:

    • Shigeru from GameFreak said he only added transform as its ability because Mew was a last minute easter egg at the time and it stuck
    • Ditto do appear in other regions but it's debated if they're canon or if they're intended to be used for Pokémon breeding strats which are a popular game mechanic/feature

  • Okay go down to the hospital and tell everyone you're a medical doctor. I want to see how far you make it.

  • Not everyone. Appeal to bandwagon fallacy btw.

  • Ditto

  • Fun Fact, Ditto were canonically failed pokemon clones developed by Team Rocket. There is a an argument to be made that it is all of the Pokémon it imitates trapped in constant flux with no real mind of its own.

  • I didn't say it cannot simply that when it is it becomes computer engineering work, which software and programming inherently are not.

  • You also don't get math degrees period.
