99% certain the US started that war, too.

Right after annexing/genociding the Canadians.

We wouldn’t put up any resistance to annexation. America could do it whenever they feel like.

And just like the Millennium Challenge, the Americans keep getting their asses kicked by the Chinese until they come up with a script for the opposing general to follow

It’s so funny how libs think Xi has legions of shock troops on standby just waiting for the order to invade the entire world like some kind of Bond villain.

Yeah I remember maxing out at like 16kb/s actual download speed. A flash game took half an hour to load. A 500-700mb movie/game took at least a day or so to download.

It’s terrifying how many rural areas are still limited to that and how quickly the data consumption gulf grows between them and urbanites. An ISP I worked for in 2018 had towers in rural Illinois that were still running hardware/software from 1995. There wasn’t even a visual interface for them and they were providing internet for hundreds of people without other options. Some like 10 miles outside of a city.

Come on, don’t assume like that. 17 is way too old for your average libertarian. It’s actually 24 divided by 7. :ancap-good:

Just prevent Bethesda from buying the rights and we’ll be spared a generation+ of people who need the :gamer-gulag: treatment.

It’s not fair that the great Satan gets all the PLA love for itself. Please Xi, invade Europe too!
