NYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEE

Thailand is a perfect example thanks forgot to mention that.

We also can kind of offer high end “vice services” like gambling and debauchery and whatnot to the elite of gulf states even better if they’re very conservative and we can blackmail the hell out of them afterwards. The elite of the world coming to Las Vegas and Dubai and Thailand and Bali alike I mean

The generational politics thing irks me because it’s an example of advertisers openly trying to divide people’s families and yet that gets taken seriously by “muh family values” conservatives.

A lot of the worst behavior is concentrated in regions people go for a discount like Bali Indonesia, India, Mexico, the Philippines, even Japan and SK, pretty much anywhere non European, I’m not surprised to hear you say that, because Euros and the upper class of saudi arabia and SK and aus and canada and US+NATO and europe is all alike in this way

Dumb article that bowlderizes actual labor issues into stale generational politics takes that have been pushed by consultants since the 90s as blandly palatable fodder for this kind of writing.

I hear Americans are the worst tourists lol, and the most likely to be there to buy a woman for that matter

Yep. Early twenties. There are plenty of awesome old people in this country. Shitty paranoid homeowners who wpuld enjoy aprtheid south aftica congregate in suburbs

Oh I wasn’t saying you were dumb, they’re dumb

Old ppl in the suburbs lol, this only goes for a small subset. I’m reconsidering things after meeting potential inlaws tbqhbbq

It’s making it pretty non competitive and that makes things harder down the line, it’ll become more apparent bc it’s all about keeping up yeah? Same thing happening in USA, due to financialization of fuckin everything and wnting to export labor to countries we have the upper hand on

Look at the whole TSMC expansion debacle

They can’t be serious lol they’re just waffling nonsense

Ah makes sense. Another example. We like completely destroyed German manufacturing with these energy prices in the process of trying to sever the region from Russia lol

“Old people” is pretty inaccurate but a lot of cool old people can be presumed to be dead as well

Well I’m American so maybe I should clarify only 10% of the people here even currently get to grasp the American dream and statistically it’s white people who get to be homeowners and live in the suburbs and be paranoid and rude to everybody including each other.

We are not doing well everything is falling apart infrastructure wise even in wealthy areas. You better be on the Amazon or Microsoft campus etc if you want it kept up.

Brexit is part of a larger pattern too, we’re basically trying to make Europe Asia-exit lol. And in the same way it will benefit Asia long run.

Meanwhile we try to turn you guys into Senegal #2, a source of crude oil to refine, and a market to buy our refined oil! As long as you continue to develop more drilling without refinement it’s the only way. Geopolitical economy 🗺️

Could amount to nothing

Read between the lines here, article writer 🥲, everything amounts to nothing. Nobody wants their life to pass by unlived

Old people are impossible to talk to, painfully neurotic and stupid and obsessed with collecting clothing and electronics. They have zero compassion. They know the social contract is broken and they keep telling us to make the same decisions as them knowing we will get nothing for it and die

Well the power limitations and cooling issues that were previously considered to be insurmountable have been, so you may be right. I guess the question is can it effectively dispatch missiles headed to jets.

Taking out drones with a tank mounted direct energy weapon seems very feasible or having other shit around that can do that

It’s one of the most financialized and ineffective projects in the entire US military, and that’s really saying something. It’s billed as a hypothetical way for our close allies to use nukes, We would use ICBMs in real nuclear warfare which everyone knows is being stashed actoss Europe and Israel not-so-secretly the F35 shit is LARPing, but anyways conveniently nobody really plans on it since it would result in us getting property damage lol.

Anyways that’s a red herring the real issues is the expense and the production of the parts for it + the amount of time it has to spend being babied by mechanics!

That shit is so unreliable even when it’s not damn near killing the pilots with shitty ejects or weird landings, you want to see a video? It’s Fed up. Guy’s head clearly gets SMASHED against the Fing plane.

It’s way less reliable based on inclement weather than these prototype direct energy weapons.

We have effective weapons programs I don’t feel the need to talk about F35 when it’s so well covered. I can get you democrat, republican, bloodless investor, or communist takes on it

Well I’m basing this off what I’ve seen the Chinese get up to, they have these mounted on trucks so if there is some kind of effective counter like super smoke, idk, inclement weather conditions (lmao), they just don’t roll it out.

Also if these ever get mounted on fighter jets it might be wise to make them part of the automated drone fleets that are gonna be flying in locked formation like Blue Angels. Just don’t send out the laser drones unless necessary idk.

I’m just speculating. You’re stuck buying our shitty F-35s or whatever lol

this bandcampnis actually insane

Finance is a dead god rotting and we will fight the maggots for every scrap of hydrocarbon rich waste
