Can I get some enterprising North Koreans to steal my identity so that I can put their work experience on my CV?

I lived in Japan when streaming was becoming a thing. Everything was region blocked, and DVDs were (and still are) horrendously overpriced for what you get.

wow. Imagine burning out your expensive GPU for a fortnite skin.

This is true of current gen air combat, but I’m speculating about a future where dogfighting once again becomes the only way to achieve air superiority.

Oh I never said it would be humans piloting the sixth gen dogfighters. They’re gonna be drones designed to withstand sustained 20G turns to be able to get their guns on target, commanded from something like an AWACS.

Stealth becomes obsolete

Missile defenses get better

BVR combat becomes basically impossible

Everybody always knows where everybody else is

Sixth generation fighters Retvrn to being purpose-built dogfighters/interceptors

Left that unchecked, I’ve got 16gb ram so I don’t think that was the issue

Death to Israel, from the river to the sea Palestine will be free.

Sorry I didn’t mean to imply you were, it’s just that almost every article I fouund talking about this was covering it from the angle of “here’s why the BAR initiative is collapsing (2023 edition)”.

“Privatization” but the owning company is another country’s state corporation - come to think of it, that also happened to British Rail, with big parts of the line being bought up by other European countries’ state train companies.

This all happened pre-COVID too - most of the articles about the Belt and Road failing are about debts going bad directly as a result of COVID’s trade slowdown, so whatever the heck is going on it appears to be to be a one off at the very least.

I’m still reading but it seems like he might be referring to Hambantota International Port. Per Wikipedia:

Construction of the port commenced in January 2008. In 2016, it reported an operating profit of $1.81 million but was considered economically unviable. As debt repayment got difficult, the newly-elected government decided to privatise an 80% stake of the port to raise foreign exchange in order to repay maturing sovereign bonds unrelated to the port. Of the two bidding companies, China Merchants Port was chosen, which was to pay $1.12 billion to Sri Lanka and spend additional amounts to develop the port into full operation.

Unfortunately the more I read the less this seems like a long overdue accounting of the video game industry’s hubris and the more it seems like someone with looking for someone to blame for their failson. These companies have literally hired psychologists to come up with ways to more effectively manipulate their players into buying their digital bullshit, and surprise surprise many of the things those psychologists have come up with are basically unregulated gambling.

I wonder if this is a false flag?

Too much information from too many places and too much of it is wrong.

nationalize the cartels

Something tells me that the cartels wouldn’t just let the government do this, and then you’re right back to square one where the Mexican government is fighting against them.

I love it when good studios do new things
