They knew instagram was leading mainly teenage girls to commit suicide. But sat on that for years instead of acting on it. I would not be surprised if they targeted sleeping pill ads to users who appear suicidal.

They have these values tied to their identity, their ego. It's hard to change that. Hard to admit you were wrong if being wrong means having to become someone else.

This is also a problem on the left though.

Taiwan will never join in, even if they wanted to. It would stir the pot too much with China.

But Japan's presence also means it hopes to gain aid for when China invades Japan. That may sound silly, but China claims a lot of Japanese islands as theirs. Some of which are very close to Taiwan.

Long long time ago someone wrote on Reddit that the best post-apocalyptic place to stay would just be a small town. With a dentist, a doctor, farmers and builders. Where everybody knows each other. The interdependence of skill and need for cooperation would keep the peace.

And for some strange reason when they park in 2 spots, it's somehow the fault of the parking space being too small for their oversized truck.

Though it seems I've got my numbers mixed. Must've read 7% before instead of 7 times.

I've had limited success. The best thing I've found is asking to generate example texts using certain vocab or context.

Why? All the reviews I've seen so far are bad. It's barely scoring 5/10.

Asymmetric warfare has been a game changer. It's all about "mass" on target. It's more effective (and possible) to build and fire a 100 rockets that cost a 1000 dollars to make. Than fire a single 100.000 dollar one.

Back in 2002 the US navy found out that just overwhelming defences with a large amount of projectiles could sink an aircraft carrier. In this case a in a wargame which led to some controversy after they covered it up.

None of the countries is going to back down. Because the all know the minute they do, the more shit Trump is going to pull. At this point it's basically extortion.

But it only rains about 7 times a year during normal commuting hours. Most rain the Netherlands falls at night.

English is too engrained. Even if the US falls down to some impoverished dictatorship. English will remain. The cost of switching now is just too great.
