And you should go live in an Islamist state since you think literal terrorist groups are so progressive.

Meanwhile in certain countries people with an M.B.B.S. and no doctorate get use the title of “doctor” as a matter of convention.

Funny how physicians have basically co-opted the title even when they technically do not possess the degree it refers to. And even funnier is that the word doctor means teacher in Latin so it would make much more sense that those with Ph.D.s, who are qualified to teach at the highest levels, should get to use the title over physicians most of whom do not teach anything at all unless they are medical school professors.

Lol I can’t take any article that refers to Hamas and Hezbollah as “resistance fighters” seriously.

Nah he gave up medicine after he became a Buddhist wizard.

I played it with 4 people and we got really far. You just have to learn to communicate.

Yep. TSMC in particular already has systems in place to render all of its factories inoperable in the event of an invasion.

Make them play Chained Together

Saudi Arabia especially gets a lot of free passes because of western liberals’ laser focus on Israel and unwillingness to criticize any Islamic country due to a fear of being labeled as Islamophobic despite these countries being the most illiberal places on Earth. Saudi has a lot to answer for with their genocide in Yemen and sypport for various terror groups and we, the United States sell them a metric fuck ton of weapons and military equipment. We also do not have them on our list of state sponsors of terrorism like we do Iran, Sudan, Syria, and of all places, Cuba.

China and Myanmar also don’t get enough flak for their abuse of the Uighur and Rohingya ethnic groups respectively.

And of course everyone has forgotten about how the Taliban now rule Afghanistan and are inching closer day by day to being recognized a legitimate sovereign state despite literally being a terrorist organization that deprives its own citizens of basic rights every day. But the funny thing to me is that Saudi does a lot of the same shit but the west looks the other way because they have money. I mean it was considered a major reform in their society a couple years back when women were first allowed to drive cars at all.

Visual Studio for Mac was never the real Visual Studio it was a reskin of Xamarin Studio.

I don’t actually use VS either mostly because I prefer to use a lighter editor and the commandline. But it does set a high bar for what an IDE should be.

He’s less like Iron man and more like the Tin man from the Wizard of Oz.

There’s also Zed. It’s still pretty new and barebones but I like it a lot more than Code or anything else.

It looks like they deprecated that one so they can sell the Rust plug-in for CLion. Granted RustRover is free for non-commercial use.

Stuff like this is why I don’t mess with paid IDEs and editors.

They’re really not. As much as I hate commercial licensing for any dev tools, if you want to talk about superior there’s nothing quite as good as Visual Studio (not code) on Windows.

I love how we all know exactly who you’re talking about.

We’re not. The PRC is all bark and no bite. Their economy would topple over in the wind if they had to fight any serious war. Also the ROC (which controls Taiwan) has essentially made unofficial backchannel deals with the US for protection. There’s no way the PRC risks war with the US. Not only would they lose horribly, as a country that is run like a business, it would also lose its biggest customer.

I wonder whose supporters did this…

You are not required to obey an unlawful order and in most militaries you are required not to. If you get court martialed it shouldn’t be a problem since you were in the right and not the officer issuing the unlawful order.
