Enlisted lean solidly conservative while officers are more to the center.

Like: It’s not Reddit.

Dislike: The userbase is too small and there are way too many circlejerks in some communities and you get bashed to hell if you dare to disagree with them.

It’s more like going to a hotel, complaining that there are too many prostitutes, and then finding out it’s a brothel.

Meanwhile in certain countries people with an M.B.B.S. and no doctorate get to use the title of “doctor” as a matter of convention.

Funny how physicians have basically co-opted the title even when they technically do not possess the degree it refers to. And even funnier is that the word doctor means teacher in Latin so it would make much more sense that those with Ph.D.s, who are qualified to teach at the highest levels, should get to use the title over physicians most of whom do not teach anything at all unless they are medical school professors.

Nah he gave up medicine after he became a Buddhist wizard.

Yep. TSMC in particular already has systems in place to render all of its factories inoperable in the event of an invasion.

Not at all.

He’s a billionaire genius playboy philanthropist.

We’re not. The PRC is all bark and no bite. Their economy would topple over in the wind if they had to fight any serious war. Also the ROC (which controls Taiwan) has essentially made unofficial backchannel deals with the US for protection. There’s no way the PRC risks war with the US. Not only would they lose horribly, as a country that is run like a business, it would also lose its biggest customer.

You are not required to obey an unlawful order and in most militaries you are required not to. If you get court martialed it shouldn’t be a problem since you were in the right and not the officer issuing the unlawful order.

Or you know actual trained soldiers tend to fight more effectively than random cartel thugs.

The People’s Republic of China which governs the mainland claims Taiwan but the Republic of China which currently only governs Taiwan technically also claims all of the mainland too. The two Chinas are a result of the Chinese Civil War which ended with the communists taking over most of China and the nationalist government effectively being exiled to the island of Taiwan and continuing there.

So if free countries have to pick one or the other to recognize why not choose the ROC which is a free democracy instead of the PRC which is a de facto dictatorship? At the same time it would force the rest of the world to sever its addiction to cheap PRC made goods using what amounts to slave labor meanwhile the ROC makes high quality goods and has a robust STEM workforce that leads the world in industries like computer hardware.

Who’s Lenny?

Palestinians had zero respect for them either and started several wars against Israel which they lost. Maybe they should’ve thought about that then.

I’m just surprised there was a female dictator of an Islamic country at all given how little respect that religion has for women.

OS and embedded dev here. I use assembly all the time. I’ve even worked on firmware that was entirely in assembly of strict requirements that couldn’t be met in C.

Also even machine code hides a lot about how the underlying machine works so if you really want to do computing from scratch you really do hate to invent the universe because there’s abstractions all the way up the hardware stack just like there is in software.

Meanwhile you shill for literal state sponsors of terrorism.
