Ohh baby dont do me like this, your one of my favorite!

I dont mean you should blindly agree with me but as a guy I thought was pretty smart you should know that the water pressure put up against it in any second is generating the energy equivalent of 150,000 MOABS, please feel free to check the math on that.

the dam holds back 40 billion cubic meters of water

Nothing short of a nuke will bring it down I PROMISE YOU

This is a goofy oneyplays tier hypothetical going on back and forth either way we slice it with "How much boom to boom the dam" so I'm not engaging in that part but more focusing on the "I don't think it's all good structurally and wouldn't trust their numbers." angle.

Architecture and material science principles somewhat above my own paygrade and out of my wheelhouse. But I stayed awake a little bit sometimes in class.
It's not that it's acting against the force of X magnitude therefore it can withstand that force of X magnitude again in ADDITION again as long as it doesn't go over that like it's an HP bar or armor score in a videogame.

It's already enduring that force, so any additional force or tension or impact is in fact on top of what it's already tolerating and the question remains what is it's max tolerance and remaining tolerances for any particular physical force. And asking the chinese if something is fine or built to tolerance... you might as well assume the answer is "Yes" if it would make them look bad to say no, and no if it would make someone else look worse than them.

It's also been in a state of years of material degradation and damage has been accumulating like any structure of it's kind would. The thing I can't say for certain is the maintenance if any or if it was built correctly to begin with.

The dam's structure has also (allegedly) experienced significant deformation over time even though the chinese government predictably ree'd and claimed doctored images and that it's working fine on THEIR sattelite... Also google earth/maps updated the squiggly wiggly one to a "Corrected" updated one.... With an identical snapshot of water flows to another prior one allegedly. And we already know google was more than happy to carry water (more literally in this case) for the CCP and uphold their image.

Quora I know but the data/info seems legit for once. Includes snapshots of map times and updates




TL;DR: Who even knows, but I don't need an engineering degree to tell you that a dam shouldn't look like that with only a difference of a couple of decades in between unless they fucked something up somewhere between the blueprint phase and the "It's finished" phase. And even in gloss over official speak they've not been murmering anything good about the thing.

Holy shit, does this mean the end of low-flow toilets? I can get a fucking regular toilet again that actually flushes well with enough water???

China had water logged missiles back in like January of last year, I'm not worried about this corrupt hellhole waging a proper war.

I have a hard time not fedposting when the subject of scam and robocallers come up. I get 4 to 5 calls a day from these pukes spoofing local numbers and it needs to stop.

I get a lot of niggers trying to buy my house over the phone. I usually cut them off mid-pitch by telling them I won't take less than seven figures plus they have to eat all the closing costs. They usually just go quiet and hang up.

YES!!! As human beings it is our fundamental right to have a toilet that can actually flush a massive fudge dragon instead of fucking clogging constantly.

Id like to share the words of an esteemed friend, I think they put it better than I ever can.

You speak of a preemptive strike on the dam as if it were a chess move—as if the lives behind that wall are nothing more than pawns to be sacrificed for some greater gambit. But I ask you plainly—have you even measured the weight of what you propose?

Behind that dam stands not an enemy army, but the lives of families, children, the elderly—the very same innocents we claim to defend on our own soil. Your ‘logic’ demands we drown them before they might stand against us.

If that is logic, then call me a fool. But I will stand with the fools who believe that power should be tempered by mercy, and that might is no justification for murder.

We are a people who pride ourselves on justice and decency—do not disgrace that heritage by becoming what we claim to fight against. If war comes to our door, we will meet it as free men. But I will not—I cannot—stand by while we become the authors of a tragedy so vast that history itself would weep at our memory.

You seek to strike at the heart of another nation before they’ve even drawn their sword. But mark my words—those who swing first out of fear are the quickest to fall.

So I ask you, as a brother to his brothers: Are we the nation that builds dams, or the one that breaks them? Will our legacy be found in the light we share—or the darkness we unleash?

The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

I had a chinky sounding twat ringing me up today, asking if I wanted to sell her my home. I said, "No. My family needs a fucking place to live. Now, go tell Winnie Xi Pooh to go eat a bullet!" before hanging up.

I still believe the option of "The internet is 18+ and if you allow your child access to the internet you are doing so at your and your child's own risk" is superior. You can make the same argument about other "harmful material" (political speech, slurs etc) that would similarly need regulation and some kind of system to verify age.

Children shouldn't be fully segregated from adult spaces, but more so be present as "invisible observers". When I was younger, this used to be the case, now children have x accounts under their real name with their age (and pronouns) in bio. It would be better if we make the commitment as society right now and establish that it is child neglect to give your children unfettered access to the Internet, unless it is a situation where you as the parent deem your kid to be mature enough to handle it, like letting them play a violent video game or watch a scary movie.

"The parents should know better" They don't. They are too old. They both work jobs. They can't control their friends kids. They can't control what they see on school computers. They don't know how to set up parental controls. They are uninformed, and don't know the dangers of the internet. There's only one parent. There's zero parents. The parent is just flat out negligent. They did everything they could, but the kid had some workaround or found something that slipped the censors. They left for a minute because the kid was watching a music video, or a roblox game and there is no way they could find something terrible on a platform meant for kids/general audiences.

You are not changing society to make parents more responsible, short of adopting a child every time from these parents every time you complain. Grow up.

It's a driver's liscence. The same one you show the cashier when you go to a bar, buy liquer at the grocery store or online, and when you have to fill out paperwork. You can push against having it be tied to your real name on the account, you can push for it to be encrypted or go through some shitzoid security method, but having accounts need proof of age is the bare minimum requirement to prevent children from being shown graphic, mentally damaging porn on the internet.

I am fucking tired of seeing figures like birdie and bluefolf and a hundred other figures documented on this site that were given access to porn and porn communities when they should not. I don't want to see millions of kids being funneled into this because military age adults can't handle ruining "the experience of the internet." because not one aspect of society can be tainted by shared responsibility.

 

[The Last Stand]

This thread used to be so good. We started at the height with Fatpacks (pbuh, Trump's strongest soldier), then slid down to John badman (You Will Never Be AnOminous), and finally to random pink doritos claiming Epstein wasn't a pedo.

This thread deserves a better class of retard tbh

How about another politician to glamorize?

thats why we fight for them friendo, its not all about us, normies make the world go round and we can make the normies life better and ours at the same time, fuck nukes fuck war, how about some hard work niggers?

I thought white people arent afraid to role up their sleeves? you going to let me and people like me get all the credit for actually moving the world in a positive direction or is LARPing about mass casualty events more fun?

Yall really wanna let me have ALL the statues? come on you guys deserve one or 2 if you just try.

Us or them? In whose world would you rather want your children to live in? Cause China will continue to degenerate our society and position in this world until we are slaves to them.

 

[Dr J]

There are billions of Chinese, they'll make more.

Chinese have such callous disregard for human life that they'd probably drown those people themselves if it was strategically beneficial to them.

harsh words to come from a people only 150 odd years removed from slavery, Ill belive it when I see it bub, we nuked the country at risk of exterminating them in living memory, I think your a little to emotional about the whole issue tbh

This is absolutely a powerlevel, but the first time I saw porn was at age five. Me and a friend clicked a link on the gummy bear music video that led directly to a porn site. That shouldn't have happened, for the same reason I wasn't allowed to grab a pack of smokes off the counter at a gas station at the same age and walk out the door. The idea that you shouldn't have regulations because they don't cover every avenue you can hurt yourself is psychotic.

I can understand this in the early days of the internet, but in this day and age there is literally no justifiable reason to give children unrestricted internet access and it should be considered child abuse. I don't think the rest of the internet needs to be regulated for kids, parents just need to be held accountable for not monitoring what their kids are doing.

In the case of regulating the internet, that's how you get digital IDs and all your online activity being tracked and tied to your government ID. No thanks. Make parents do their jobs. It's not my problem.

Why did your parents give you unrestricted, unsupervised access to the internet at the age of five?
Why were you given any access to the internet when you were five years old?

I mean case in point, why do I need to put in my ID in order to access 18+ content (not just pornography, you're actually retarded if you think it would end there - look at Youtube requiring you to sign in to watch anything their jeet algorithm flags) just because this guy's parents were irresponsible? (I saw his followup post where he said it was early internet days, but point still stands.) And just wait when this gets expanded to include "extremist content". Just think about how Germany is currently using government powers against an opposition party (AfD) and imagine that same thinking extended to government regulation of "extremist content". Kiwi Farms would not fucking exist.

There ultimately has to be a punishment for sites allowing kids to see this but realistically "kids" (teenage boys) are going to find a way. The current solutions to prevent this are technical or require censorship at the ISP level which are each non-answers in the US. This isn't something I've put a lot of thought into so I don't know a "good" way to do it that doesn't require ID verification which itself opens up another can of worms as far as data management and potential implications down the road with the inevitable data breach.

It's just the kind of handwringing and moral busybody framework that gets used to justify mass surveillance and useful idiots go long with it. It's always "for da keedz" when they pitch it but it never ends there.

cannot believe there are currently this many no brained niggercattle cheering for more censorship/ID checks online for moralistic horse shit.

B-but da keedz! Own da libs!!!!

I also feel many of you have fallen to hubris because trump is in office during his revenge tour, forgetting in under four years it could be anyone else with god knows what for an agenda, this is ignoring trump being a total wild card who could levy heavy censorship himself

Quoted for fucking emphasis. I know lolbertarians have poisoned the well on these kinds of arguments about unchecked government overreach - often times it leads to endorsing not doing anything at all in order to give commies free reign to do whatever they want. But if you really want to open the door to the government regulating content on the internet based on morality, you've got another thing coming when President Newsom starts to govern media based on the morality of leftism during his first 100 days in office in 2028.

[Davis]

worst case worst you end up in a situation like with UKR/RUS where EW is so prolific that all drones have fiber optic cables connecting them to their operator and the entire battlefield looks like this

View attachment 7341230

I would guess the bigger threat will be unmanned drones with a special analog AI chip designed to spot humans or heat signatures on the cheap and suicide bomb them. You start it up, tell it to go a direction for a mile or two then flip to kill mode, no remote control required.
Could also make them act as advanced minefields. Have a bunch of them sit on the ground offline, put a spotter device nearby that watches for enemies, when someone is spotted, wirelessly (or by wire if the EW is that bad) signal x number of drones to spin up and initiate kill mode.
The wired ones seem more suited for precision strikes after you've got the enemy to hunker down and you're just eco-bombing them. Though automated, likely indiscriminate murder bots could run the risk of too much collateral/friendly fire

That's on your people tho. Slavery was abolished in Europe a good bit earlier, and was not really a popular thing on mainland Europe to begin with.

I think your a little to emotional about the whole issue tbh

I'm pretty sure that internet rules state that the one that blames the other of getting mad first, is the one that is actually mad. I.e you.
