  • I think you may be underestimating Europe. National militaries is one thing, and pop culture understanding of the region is another, but you’ll find plenty of armaments and munitions in private care all across Europe. Not to mention how some Baltic and Slavic countries are still armed to the teeth, despite having a deficit in military spending.

    In any case, the complaint about Europe not spending enough on military is a tired argument, because Europe wasn’t neglecting their military - Europe was literally told to remove large swathes of industrial military complexes.

    For more info, ask an African, the Chinese, the global south, everyone told Europe to put their guns down - and all across Europe military assets ended up in private hands.

    The joke being that in the cities you won’t find much guns, but travel out to the country and you’ll find large showrooms.

    But yeah, if the US betrays Europe, that might be the final nail in the coffin for European and US relations, so much so that I think the CIA would just drop Trump to avoid diplomatic suicide.

    Tbh i hate the mirror universe now… from being a not-so-serious in-joke that came back every now and then, not as much as nudging the timeline, plot or characters into any too serious a direction, to becoming an important part of cannon that I just don’t like… mostly because of Discovery and Picard.

    It’s really just too cheesy. Alternative universes, by all means, but just a mirror universe where there’s a bit of a role reversal which stems from can only be described as “a trend in the 70s”.

    Mirror this, bizarro that, cod sarn it. To call it a gimmick is a bit of an understatement. To call it cannon is a bit embarrassing.

    Now excuse me, I’ve ranted about Star Trek on the interwebz, so now I have to go fulfill the government mandated 3 hours of grass touching.







  • EDIT: did not know about the allegations from the former employee and it just saddens me. I was only aware of the cooling block and it’s auctioning when I wrote this.

    This thread you made is cringe. Grow tf up and try to have some understanding for once in a while.

    Big corporations will always pull fake apologies and complain that consumers are beligerent little hotheads who’s opinion doesn’t matter in the long run. You’re proving their point right now.

    But if say LTT actually does pull out of this amicably and their words are followed by prompt action that remedies the situation, we can in turn look at Intel, AMD, Nvidia and the likes and say “see? That’s how it’s done”.

    As tech jesus himself said in his expose video is that we all make mistakes.

    Do not attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity, and the way LMG has been working has been stupid.

    Don’t give the bastards an inch, I understand. But let us be clear about who the bastards are and I still don’t think LMG has gone over to the side of evil.

    Now they’re stepping back, taking the time to make amens (I hope they really give that company they shafted a much needed boost for instance, as a bare minimum) and we should be here for that.

    If you’re just here to whine, fine. But don’t think you’re adding to the conversation or saying anything meaningful, because you are in fact just trolling.

    Again, try and have some understanding. It’s very important for us to do that, because secterianism and feudes will in the end hurt the community, and also the consumer, because we have to stay on top of this.
