OK, but by this math, if I stop reading I might get health insurance?

Pope Scotty doesn't know
That Jesus and me
Do it in my van every Sunday...
The board of every chamber is required to include someone from the embassy...
But I see you need something more...how do we say? Fulfilling. Yes.... Something more...yes...
I beseach you to search the interwebs for the Commerce Department Gold Key Service. Wherein a company pays to have government staff from the Commerce Department's Foreign Commercial Service, to literally shill for anyone that ponies up the cash, and organize a matchmaking service to promote the company in several small meetings.
Not enough for a distinguished gentleperson as yourself? But of course, my friend. But of course. I see you demand more.
I present to you, the most, ah- exquisite match to what you want, the FCS Single Company Promotion. A festive event in which Federal employees host the event of the company's choosing to "promote awareness" of the company. A conference? Sure. A fun luncheon presentation? Yes, of course. Or, perhaps a delightful cocktail party! Numerous of which I have personally attended.
Seriously though, this happens all the time.
This was already how all this stuff worked. The US government promotes US companies all the time. Always has.
Search for the "American Chamber of Commerce" in any county. Then look through their social media or board.
Not up to me, I would have done the same as you suggested.
But we're taking about this in the context of this infographic. So we have to distill this down to:
Should FF be with, or above, Brave?
I assume we're also taking about relatively low-barrier changes that most users can implement. So vanilla FF vs vanilla Brave, there's a difference. Can we harden FF? Sure. Will 95%+ of people do that with Librewolf or 3 dozen other forks out there? Why bother when there's nuance to be gained with other forks? So now vanilla FF stops being relevant.
And to be clear, I don't use Brave unless I absolutely have to. I don't love it, but vs. normie Vanilla FF, there's a slight edge.
Lol, no. Here's a list of all the things that panel doesn't account for.
Also, there's nothing close to even attempting privacy without strong fingerprint protection anyway, which I should have also mentioned. Vanilla FF allows a bright shining canvas fingerprint that Brave and Librewolf disable.
FF doesnt deserve much better than Brave as it sends telemetry, so both on tier 2. LibreWolf would fit for tier 3 or maaaybe 4.
I love this. I hadn't ever considered something like Tor and added friction as dividing the wheat from the chaff readers.
The problem with this period in time is that it's awash in low effort shit. This is like placing your own book of philosophy in the library.
Are they playing "Duck Duck War"?
Not many. The thing about globalization and repealing the 20th century is that its a wobbly 3D Rube Goldberg domino landscape. 1-2 dickheads per continent is all it takes.
Sure, but a lot of the bats have to actually have rabies first. If that's not in the mix, you're just converted in bat shit.
Literally a chapter in the Art of War.
Dont forget, it's also a fuckton of ghosts.
Gotcha, sorry I thought you meant in a sort of a more large-scale coordinated way with the authoritarians.
The easiest way for China to take Taiwan back is to wait for something complicated to occupy the military and WH, even only at the very top leadership level. A protracted and undeniable scandal, another major shake-up while the boss is out of town, or the end result of all this internal military use for law enforcement that seems to want to end posse comitatus within I think 80-ish days at this point, are all options. Spin up the machine to catch it's own tail and the response elsewhere will be too little and too late because of the more hierarchical nature of decison-making now. Steve Bannon's own "flood the zone with shit" tactic, inspired by Tsun Tzu.
Chip fab won't matter because nothing else logical has mattered so far. Why jump straight to a trade war with all your largest trading partners without even preparing for it? Foolishness and ego. Same same here as well.
You're correct, however, keep in mind that authoritarians have fragile egos and are often focused locally, often on how to further subjugate their populations and garner favor. That usually means conflicts like insurgency or cross-border attacks like Russia into Ukraine (x2), Russia into Georgia, US into Mexico/Canada, India and Pakistan fighting over Cashmere, PRC and Taiwan, Serbia and Kosovo, Kenya/Somalia/Somalil and, Uganda and eastern DRC, etc. etc.
Boomer pissing contest fantasies of China and the US duking it out in the Pacific are foolish as neither wants to risk direct conflict with no tangible gains expected. It's a guarantee of either outright loss or maaaaybe a Pyrrhic victory of you already control your media. No landing party flotilla will land in Los Angeles or Hong Kong. The US only stands to lose.
Not at all.
What we'll get is not one big World War of Axis vs. Allies, but everyone at war with some kind of small regional pissing contest or insurgency.
Sure, most of the world will be in some form of conflict, but it won't be a "World War" in the same sense of a 20-on-20 prolonged conflict with well-defined nation-states on each side. Not that this opinion survey can really capture that.
The conditions is what makes this basically airborne anything.
What makes the disease airborne is a confined space where there's so much literal shit, piss, blood, and/or saliva all around that when things that flap their wings and stir up the air, in fact, stir up the air, that droplets of their bodily fluids with rabies in it are simply statistically inevitable. By that same process, airborne Ebola is possible as well. So is airborne HPV, or HIV, or Polio.
