We truly live in the future

Not without login, probably

That's a LOT of pasta per person. Not unheard of, but still a lot

This looks like a weird version of a cold world era map, blue being US and allies, red USSR and allies and yellow non aligned countries. A little bit weird in Africa and south America, but we're mostly there

I knew math was homophobic!

So the stupidest most gullible people you've worked with seem to live on that feed having lots of ad impressions, which are likely to be quite effective due to how gullible they are and the fact that they are all adults with money, and you are asking why MS doesn't remove the feed?

I wonder too...

There was once a term used for this, first world (US and allies) second world (USSR and allies) and third world (neutral-ish nations)

It's why there are words for hearing and listening. Yeah, I heard you, but I wasn't listening

I'm honestly thinking of building a new AM4 PC. 5700X3D is under 200€ new, cheap mobo, cheap DDR4 RAM and tbh the benchmarks aren't that far off this new 9xxx series in gaming (which is the only thing I really care about). I'd rather save some money and get a better GPU

That's not even the point. The training should have taught them how to de-escalate the situation, or even let it go. They transformed a 3$ fare skipped into a massacre, how's that normal?

It's 3$, if he has a knife, just let him go, it's not worth the risk. You'll track him down later and get him without killing him, passerbys and other cops.

You don't need to drop a nuke because there's a pickpocketer somewhere in the city

1 - I'm not the one hyper focusing on the 9 or 10 or 11 dash line* China is the one hyper focusing

2 - there's no treaty that specifically mentions those territories, which is why China has to resort to a made up map with some unclear made up lines. If there were a real treaty, they'd use that to argue

3 - Even if there were a treaty, the validity would be questionable. Is the treaty between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union regarding the partitioning of Poland still valid? Would a German invasion of Poland be justified by that treaty? Or by Russia?

4 - China has signed UNCLOS, a much more modern and real treaty, with clear laws. They then went to the UNCLOS tribune to plead their case and lost in court.

5 - it's just imperialism. They want to control more territory, so they do

There are several military bases by several countries, yes, including but not limited to the PRC.
