The VP warned of a ‘very discreet, extremely well-funded campaign’ by Israeli actors who want to see the war extended ‘not towards any objective, but just indefinitely’
It was admittedly 3 half-thoughts tied into one post.
When filling out a form, why is Taiwan a “region”? Because companies are catering to China. Why do we buy 3ft USB cables and not 1m USB cables? Because companies are catering to the US. But if the US makes itself irrelevant, those little courtesies are going to go away.
And the US is treating its relationship with China like a Cold War. Except our economy is severely crippled right now while China’s is going absolutely crazy. Making the US contemporary analogue to the old USSR, while China plays the part of the post WW2 US. Young people look at it through an oversimplified lens of “capitalism vs communism”. I think the truth is that either system can fuck itself and the real key to success is moderation.

This is not in the US. I have checked 2 global providers, they sidestep the problem by labeling the dropdown “Country or region”.

Doesn’t this suggest the opposite? 1m is more generic than 3ft. And I just measured my USB cables and most of them are exactly 1m or slightly more, and not 91cm.
I do agree with most of your points though, but I think you should take a deep breath every now and then and think what your point actually is and whether it’s coming across.
Its some thinly veiled Pokeman references (might makes right + a worldview where an individual’s, creature’s, or corporation’s inherent worth and social status are dictated by their combat strength and competitive dominance) and Attack of the Titans callbacks (the emblem of the survey corps had black and white wings) mixed with modern political frustration at lack of engagement of the great powers as the nameless villagers are eaten alive in horror after living in fear, and theres nothing they can really do about it. Its like the commenter made an art installation out of political trash. I think its a beautiful expression of our modern tragic malaise.
Not gonna lie: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

While I agree with what you said,
I sure don’t. The only products I ever see over here with US units are imported, everything else is metric.
