Yeah I don't think we should defed them. They're mostly harmless and I've seen plenty of good ones over here.

This is like the second terrible take I've seen from the iusearchlinux.fyi instance in a span of minutes holy shit.

What about the pedophiles story? where he had two young girls who were not his wards in a hotel room for some innocent reason

I like it. If you have a good group to play with its a fun PvE shooter. The overall mechanics were really thought out so almost everything feels good in the game.

Accidentally team killing is also practically a core mechanic so that's a lot of fun. Its not like other games where its mostly the noob that team kills, no player no matter how skilled is free from an accidental TK. Makes a tk more funny than anything.

i did some napkin math and found it to be ~426 billion Newtons of force hitting that bridge, the equivalent to 850,000 miatas hitting the bridge at 60mph. a 100,000 Ton ship moving roughly at 8 knots with a very sudden stop. A crazy amount of force to be applied to a structure that is primarily intended on supporting a road from totally different forces

Save it for the second industrial revolution that will need to happen after nearly everything gets wiped out.

New city built all at once before the 5over1s and suburban sprawl get their hands on it. Get into the street car nerd, we're going to the missing middle.

That's because pets are considered personal property and can therefore be bought and sold at market rate! smuglord

Do you have any actual criteria for that stat? I don't either but I know I've seen enough videos of families removed at gun point from their homes, enough for a few lifetimes.

Hell, the attacks on Al Asqa is more than enough proof that they're not simply building homes on land they own, but are acting as a violent invading force.

I lived above a screen printing business owned by the landlord. I had these weird itchy rashes for a while and went to a dermatologist who said it was Psoriasis. I was super depressed and didn't change my bed sheets for a while. On the day I was moving out after the landlord told me to leave a month early, i pull up my sheets and see hundreds of these bugs and just leave the sheets on the bed, pack up all my cloth items in black garbage bags, and gtfo of there.

The landlord fucking charged me a cleaning fee for the sheet left on the bedbug infested mattress, above her husbands screen printing store, that printed shirts for large events in the city.

To this day I check creases in hotels and basically refuse to allow any used furniture into my home that might conceal these evil creatures.

I'm going to swing in and suggest reading/glancing over the Original Adrien Zenz report. Zenz is a fellow at the heritage fund and part of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation. Both notorious right-wing propaganda mills.

Nearly every article you have seen has either cited the original Zenz report, or a thinktank that cites said report. Often times if you dig into the funding schemes of those think tanks, you'll learn about all sorts of organizations explicitly tied to defense organizations. I saw one that was an Australian defense org funded by the US DoD.

Anyway, the original report focused on a possible cultural genocide. What this is referring to is the return of 1-2 child policies in China. Previously, these policies excluded most ethnic minorities within China, including the Uyghurs. With this new policy, this group would now be included in the 1-2 child restrictions.

Zenz extrapolated a slowed growth in Uyghur population, not reduction, or stall, but slowed. He concluded that these policies would result in a "Cultural Genocide", meaning an attempt to destroy the culture of the group, not the group itself. This does not make sense, as these were not hard targeted policies, but sweeping across the population.

The reeducation camps were something totally distinct from this report. Keep in mind that news media was using the report in order to call the reeducation camps essentially concentration camps.

Something that is often left out of the conversation is that Xinjiang has been host to many Muslim extremist terrorist attacks. The solutions that China chose may not have been the best, but if we're being honest with ourselves, are no worse than the immigrant camps at the US boarder. Except those are often privatized, profit centered, and have a constant stream of stories about neglect, abuse, and even forced sterilization. Most of the camps in Xinjiang have since been closed, as reported by AP.

I'm sorry I'm not providing sources here, I don't have my notes app set up on my current machine. below I'm going to give prompts to help you search.

Nearly any article will link to the zenz report if you follow citations well enough.

AP reported on the camps being closed.

In the US, Migrants were given hysterectomies without being told prior to the proceedure, often times they came to the doctor for other ails.

They don't want war, just a battle. In it for the love of the game.

If the results were also open and public, it'd be a different conversation.

This is more akin to rain water collection up-hill and selling it back to the people downhill. It's privatization of a public resource.
