If he was Arab

Fixed that for you. This is in the extremely oppressive Dubai/UAE where any kind of extramarital thing is very much illegal.

You might have a point if I had not lived there and married into a chinese family, which is where that statement comes from.

Yeah true, it would have been November 2019. I picked Feb because it was when things started getting out of control.

I blamed them then and decried how they suppressed evidence and news then, and I decry it now.

Lets also not forget that their “Sinovac” is actually “CanSinovac” as it was only possible for them to produce it at all thanks to Canadian lab work.

You didnt mention Globe and Mail, which is not quoting him.

Yup. Absolutely.

The context in which he did those actions is critical though.

He’s quoting the New York Times there.

Chinese culture places undue importance on saving face at all costs.

If this was at all true, it would have been put out in February 2020, not in December 2024

Text of his actual speech: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/03/world/asia/president-yoon-speech-martial-law.html Mentioned that their budget cut 4.1 Trillion Won° from things like Disaster Prep and Child Care.

°Google says that is ~3 billion USD, but this Globe and Mail(note: pro-business extremists) says 4 billion.

Because its more complicated than him just being a bad guy.

He did a stupid, very bad move, but it was because the CCP-infected, anti-Japan opposition passed a budget that forced his hand, it would have apparently cut all government funding by a ridiculous degree.

But you arent doing that.

You cannot do that fairly without pointing out, for example, the brutal and vicious racism where the British compared the Irish and the Scottish to Apes and to be different, inferior races.

You need to go further back than just 1500.

Western European thoughts on this were heavily influenced by the Ottoman and Byzantine empires.

Which were in turn based on the Roman empire.

Which were in turn based on the Classical Greeks, particularly those of Athens.

To exclusively blame western Europeans for this, when they were nearly wiped out by the Roman empire colonialism, is very short sighted.

Sven doesn’t seem interested in being bought out.

Also Tencent already has some claws in Larian.

Its important for them to preserve any chance of profit that may be squeezed from old games.

Bunch of tree dwelling apes who developed language to tell good vs leoparded trees after most of the trees died; went too far and are going extinct by finding a great filter they can’t invent out of.

Marketing. Doresy knows how to do it and has a reason to do it, he’s a rich brat that needs money and validation.

Mastodon and Lemmy, really, represent a slice of what the internet used to be. They don’t need to be big.

Same here. But you can reliably fill a raid at its launch by yourself with no one else around.

Its more amusing than you think. Most really hardcore of the players left now spoof their GPS position.

Id be willing to bet that most of the navigation data is completely useless.

The worst part of non-fascist Xitter.

So the problem is that AI based search engines dont give credit to their source sites because they do not link to the source site, but instead steal the content in a legally untested method and serve that up.

Nothing to do with links going extinct.

The article mentions that Israeli fans are at fault for all of this and that the arrests happened because a court ordered ban on all protests.
