I wouldn’t be surprised if, in just a few years time, pre-AI-era content of all kinds, not just games, ends up becoming cherished by people, to the point that entire fandoms and subcultures develop around preserving and promoting it.
I don’t know about you, but someone who doesn’t care doesn’t write two paragraphs. My don’t care limit is one paragraph max.
They have a knack for building cars that people want, are usually late to new developments, but then blow the competition out of the water in terms of sales, because their cars (prior to the infotainment debacles and cost-cutting measures of recent years) tend to be extremely polished, are comfortable, economical and handle very well. The Golf GTI in particular is perhaps the perfect embodiment of the company’s capabilities.
Personally, I think some of their past clout, especially in regards to quality, has been overstated though. We’ve considered new VWs long before recent quality problems, but they left a worse impression than comparable French cars and in absolutely every way. Still, they have been very consistent for a long time and appealed to buyers with a “no experiments” kind of mindset, who just want a predictable rolling appliance.
Outright hate speech as well, with plenty of upvotes.
I went through the trouble of tracking the publication down:
https://i.imgur.com/xvTBSm3.png
In more readable form:
J-10A: 220
J-10B: 55
J-10C: 220
J-10S: 70
Total: 565
According to the source used by both lists, the numbers in the second list are complete nonsense. It’s not just limited to this plane and its variants though. J-11 numbers are also wrong, even though they also cite this source. I corrected these two and might go over the rest of the list later.
No. I’m honestly trying to educate, even though I’m absolutely disgusted by your comments. None of what I wrote is inaccurate and by my own standards, this is not a very long comment either. If that’s too much reading for you to the point that you feel overwhelmed, then that’s your problem and I hope that at least someone else can get some use out of it.
Do you have any actual arguments or are you just going to hide behind this platitude? Imagine having the audacity to tell Jews that the hatred, discrimination and violence they are experience isn’t real. Would you do the same with POC or LGBTQ+ people? Deny their suffering outright, because it doesn’t fit into your narrative?
They desperately want to stage their own Pearl Harbor, don’t they? I doubt it’ll go any better for them.
They have over 3500 aircraft, although a large percentage of them are outdated and almost all of the types used, except for a relatively small number of Russian imports, are untested in combat. Their operational history is universally one of accidents and/or dangerous provocations. Expect even the latest types, which appear modern on paper, to lag at least a generation or more behind any current Western designs in actual capabilities.
It also doesn’t help that there is no institutional knowledge due to a complete lack of combat experience anywhere in the PLAAF, that Chinese military pilots are poorly trained and that China appears to have no ability to deal with American countermeasures and tactics, as evidenced for example by their chaotic and unsuccessful attempt at intercepting Nancy Pelosi’s flight to Taiwan.
What’s this then?
And this?
And this?

Did some PR firm buy all of these different independent organizations and journalists - or are you just using a variety of the old antisemitic accusation of a Jewish controlled press and institutions?
Are you going to deny all of this evidence? Don’t you think that many so-called “pro-Palestinian” protests just happen to be staged in Jewish quarters by coincidence?

Do you think there’s nothing to the fact that Jews are routinely harassed at these protests?

Tell me what a Jewish restaurant has to do with the state of Israel:
These people heard rumors of Jews on a plane and wanted to kill them:

The first “pro-Palestine” protests were on October 7, before even the first Israeli bomb had been bombed in response, as terrorists were still busy slaughtering civilians in Israel:
The BDS movement put out a statement that celebrated the murder of Israeli civilians:

And so on and so forth.
Explain to me why you are denying the rise in global antisemitism. Why are you denying facts?
This isn’t Israeli propaganda, it’s just journalism. Times of Israel isn’t a government outlet and the rise in global antisemitism and violence against Jews is undeniable.
The only thing that’s threatened by US military bases are their imperial ambitions in the region. There’s a reason why even Vietnam is seeking US protection. You know that the US isn’t going to attack China first.
I wish so too, but I think you’re overestimating people.
It’s not that low everywhere. In Germany, it’s 9.79%, for example.
The article mentions AI running locally. There is no way this will even cost Microsoft anywhere near a dollar a month.
This nonsense reminds me of how many phones in the olden days had a dedicated Internet/WAP button on them from the phone companies that primarily existed so that people would be charged for accidentally pressing it.
With this new iteration of the same idea (they could have easily chosen a spot where it would never get hit accidentally, but didn’t), I suspect that Microsoft banks on people accidentally pressing the button in the hopes that at least some will be converted to using their dubious “AI” assistant more than once. Like the author of the article, I have my doubts this will happen. On laptop keyboards in particular, it’ll be pressed when people are actually trying to hit the left arrow key and cause more annoyance and confusion than anything else. I can already imagine IT departments disabling these on all new devices just to save them the extra headache.
Why did you put this in quotation marks? That’s an actual article and actual reporting instead of the Islamist propaganda site that you originally posted.
I read it and I think this is highly problematic. The IDF should definitely not operate such a channel and there needs to be an investigation into how it came to be.
desecrating the bodies of Palestinian martyrs
This wording alone should tell you just how biased and thus unreliable the article you just posted is. This site even goes so far as to call the entire war by the name Hamas gave the October 7 pogrom, “Operation Al Aqsa Flood”. That is not okay on several levels.
Posting this “article” clearly goes against one of the few rules of this place that prohibit hate speech, bigotry and propaganda.
I feel like this is different. Even something mass produced using machinery used to be always designed by a human in the end.
