Pulling out so much bond investment at a loss is kinda spooky. The Chinese have much more reliable Intel about what the US government is planning than just about anyone else, and a massive move like that means their confidence doesn't even extend out 5 years before a conflict big enough that the Fed would wipe out any global trust in the USD.

It's the British governments fault for killing Alan Turing before he could scream from the rooftops that the Turing test isn't a measure of intelligence

The Sacrifice just depicted them as misguided and detached from the reality of their actions.

The main American guy is a pilot that is doing bombing runs and he's not presented as comically evil, just totally ignorant of why he's even there.

It's real

Also it reads like a joke, not something serious

I think the real issue is more of "okay, so if this didn't get caught by the pre-flight inspection, what else was missed"

I'm gonna be honest, I wasn't even thinking about them wearing n95 masks and was very confused that they wanted everyone wearing like eyes wide shut masks and that mental image was kinda funny.

Hey, it's international airspace right?

All jokes aside, this is a totally normal response from a functioning country. Only the US would reflexively shoot down shit in international airspace near its boarder. Showing up and doing a bit of hazing is just how pilots pass the time during the routine "hey, go out there and make sure they know we have warplanes in the area" missions.

Also shows that the pilot is well trained and maybe makes the bigger spyplane think twice about pulling anything knowing there's a dude who basically just stalled a fighter 10ft from their wing without losing any stability.

Holy shit, so the IDF just fired tank rounds at a hostage situation.

But yellow is the default...I have to go out of my way to use the other ones because my keyboard's auto complete just fills this in with no other option
