Sys and Sys
Systems Confrontation and System Destruction Warfare.
Finally! Someone who knows what the fuck is going on and how China will handle a war with the US.
Yes, this is how China would do it. I could’ve written this myself. If I’d had an army of consultants and a boatload of time. There are still people left somewhere who can think about the actual world as it is rather than as they imagine it to be. Cool.

40k a year for first sysadmin job.
My salary as a sysadmin was $48K a year…in 2004.

People often ask: "Sure, the left is stupid and annoying – but what have they DONE to cause real harm?"
The eco-freako stuff is a good example. We were a few years from functional nationwide nuke – saving however many million lives via pollution externalities, wars involving… https://t.co/GcPsrRvkTe

And due to the wacky eco-left, Germany decommed all their nuke plants, making the country dependent on Russian gas, which caused the current Ukraine war to be far more likely, which also made it vastly more probable that the Baltics, Poland and Germany itself will be invaded by Russia soon.

I am so stoked that shoegaze and dream pop made an unlikely return. There is so much of it around now!
What I want to know is where she found that old TWA plane and infra? They’ve been kaput since 2001.

Yep, yep. Pretending a 25-year-old woman is some innocent, agentless clueless naïf in a relationship like that is fucking delusional. It’s actually insane. And I think that Wil is right in his identification of the culprits. This at-odds-with-reality belief is held almost exclusively by women who are atypical and disconnected from normal women. By that I mean women who aren’t so obsessed with quantification of everything to the nth degree — women who just want to live life and have fun.
And of course it’s also a story a lot of women like to tell so they can avoid responsibility or accountability for anything. But it’s not true just because they say it.
