Maybe this is why I’m not seeing it, it was a few months ago.
Edit: The link says this was in DC recently though.

Well you were high so we can’t be sure about those numbers
How do we know your scale is right?
Gaming communities can be incredibly bad. Everyone else is a jerk or moron who wasn’t born knowing that doing X increases your DPS by 2.3% on alternate Tuesdays. DUH
If you truly understand a subject you like helping newbs, not insulting them. It is people who know just enough to sound like they do but are desperate to look like experts who are the biggest pricks.
Either that or you insult them for not knowing the answer already, tell them to google it (then why does this forum exist?) or get mad because they did know that their question had already been answered in a forum post in 2019.

Won’t someone please think about Nintendo!?
I wonder if they send a person out to make sure he is eating gruel.
Well a powerful economic base is the foundation of a superpower. The US leans on General Dynamics, Raytheon, countless contractors, etc. China has no base as extensive as that.
Well the Japanese took Taiwan from China and then the nationalists fled China and took it over during the handover. No one asked the Chinese natives originally there if they wanted to separate from China.
We fought a civil war to keep the nation together.
China is still mostly poor and rural. For all of their economic expansion things are still basic there for most people.
I can’t blame China for wanting Taiwan back. Imagine if we had a civil war and a foreign military invaded and occupied Alaska during a war just before it. Then at the end of the war one side fled to Alaska and declared it independant but we couldn’t retake it because we were so debilitated from the civil war and the war before it. Now a foreign government steps in and says you can’t retake your territory because they said so. I’d be pissed too.
The US wants a fight with China to justify our perpetual military buildup and foreign reach.
America always needs a boogeyman. Maybe having all infrastructure connected to the internet and letting security sloppy contractors open access isn’t a good idea either.
Meanwhile US citizens go without healthcare.

Yup, they are only as good as their programming
I try but they keep closing it
Self immolation as a form of protest. For anyone unaware of it there was a Buddhist monk who immolated themself to protest the oppression of Buddhists by the Catholic PM of Vietnam.
