  • Petty is when your girlfriend keeps your favorite shirt after the breakup.

    Refusing to admit you lost a civil war 75 years ago and blowing up a major dam, killing 35 million people to stall unification is genocide.

  • Lol Taiwan and China have both claimed to be the “real China” but Taiwan is just a small separatist holdover of a civil war that ended nearly 75 years ago. Since they can’t run the show, they’re trying to be a wedge for US imperialism in east Asia. The People of Taiwan are Chinese citizens and the US should stop encouraging them to go to war to destroy themselves and their country.

  • Both China and Taiwan have claimed that they are the rulers of China and only one of them is right. For Taiwan to be a neighbor it would have to cease being Chinese, which it has never done. Taiwan is still officially “The Republic of China.”

  • It’s MADdening that you believe that the US won’t be nuked for giving weapons to Taiwan and directing them to kill millions of people in mainland China. Taiwan doesn’t want to go to war with China and they’ve always wanted reunification. The US wants to divide and conquer China and should stop before it creates a nuclear catastrophe.

  • Like Hong Kong, Taiwan will rejoin the rest of China. We want to believe that Taiwan is some bastion of freedom, but it’s literally just a holdout for the losers of China’s civil war. For a while the US tried to pretend that Taiwan was the real China, but eventually changed tact and has been trying to drive a wedge and use Taiwan as a military outpost. This has been US policy since the 1950s! (Most people in the US weren’t even born yet, and Joe Biden was only 7 years old when the Chinese civil war ended.)

    This would be the equivalent of the Confederacy setting up shop in Puerto Rico and Russia supporting them as the “real” United States, then back-peddling while planning to use Puerto Rico as a military outpost. In the 1960s a similar situation happened when the Soviets tried to station nukes in Cuba and the US threatened to end the world.

    Just like the US couldn’t be threatened, China can’t be threatened. You can’t hold a country of 1.5 billion people at gunpoint. You can’t destroy the 3 Gorges Dam without China nuking the US. The US needs to pull back on this position they’ve had since the 1950s and stop trying to bully China.

  • Amd dropped the ball when it came to software and has now separated their GPU architecture so that they only have enterprise cards for data science. NVIDIA got in early and made CUDA default among all product lineups so that consumer cards could be used as entry-level cards by hobbyists. While it would’ve been nice to see more competition, the only company taking this space seriously has been nvidia.

  • Their only actual product is their cars, and even then the newest one (the ugly truck) will need a complete redesign to meet US safety standards. Tesla demos are a dime a dozen at this point. Don’t believe the hype. Just know if it looks dumb, it is dumb and won’t actually see mass production.

  • Haas, a Corpus Christi native, is the author of 200 Years a Fraud, in which she disputes what she considers historical inaccuracies in Twelve Years a Slave, an 1853 memoir by Solomon Northup. In her book, Haas argues that U.S. history is overly harsh on the South and doesn't acknowledge that slavery was "a socially acceptable and economically worthwhile practice worldwide at the time our thirteen colonies arose."

    The woman who campaigned against these history books has her own book which is full-on historical revisionism akin to the Daughters of the Confederacy.

  • You’ve lost the plot. More weapons can’t solve a lack of soldiers. Unless Western Europe/NATO plan to start WW3, the outcome has been decided. The humane thing isn’t to cheer for more war, but to understand that cheering for war itself was a mistake.

    We were told Ukraine could win. We were told wrong. The people who gave us this false impression also told us we’d win the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Last I checked, those wars didn’t result in the victory we were promised, either.
