The vote is today, the propaganda war has been ongoing for years

The original community was namenerds and digging through the original poster’s submission history I’m seeing some pretty bad poetry, 90 day fiance content and grieving the death of their parents: all spread out across the past year.

… I don’t think it’s a shit post.

Let me take the tag off my bird then snap it’s wings back together

Note that a TikTok link is un-cleanable. It will always trace back to you. Do not ever share TikTok links unless you’re willing to expose your identity to the person you’re sharing with.

Even then those are bad cleaning instructions…

I really expected it to say colonial for some reason

I mean before the invasion Russia was building walls and moving them forward overnight to slowly take territory. It’s not entirely off base about Russia.

Taiwan is a natural fortress as well. Even if the mainland invaded the guerilla fighting in the mountains would be a new Afghanistan for the occupying force.

All for the political victory of “we did it!”

Taiwan has few natural resources that China doesn’t already have. They mostly have high tech industry… Which would be annihilated by an invasion. No way chip fabs survive: either they get bombed while softening up a landing or they get sabotaged as a spoiling action.

Here is a short list of things that Play Services do:

1. Scan for active malware
2. Nearby Share
3. App attestation (Required for banking apps)
4. Encrypted backup of your data
5. Autofill
6. All push notifications
7. Find my device
8. Basic telemetry (talked about elsewhere in this thread but it’s telling Google who you are and where you are)

Steam is not a publicly traded company, so they don’t pull this kind of skullduggery in service of the shareholders.

They’re a company full of people who, gasp, like video games: unlike the average navel gazing, brainless, Harvard Business School CEO.
