Not all of them started or ended in 1932. And Russia v Ukraine is far from the first 21st century conflict, the entire official US vs Iraq war was 2003 to 2011 for example.

Idk about drafts but some conflicts in that period:

• French-IndoChina vs Siam

• Saya San Rebellion

• Sino-Tibetan War

• Kumul Rebellion

• Idrisid Emirate Rebellion

• Najran conflict

• Uukwambi uprising

• Annexation of Jimma

• Chechen uprising of 1932

• Two-Liu War

• Kirghiz rebellion

• La Matanza

• January 28 incident (China v Japan)

• Darre Khel revolt

• Soviet–Japanese border conflicts

• 1932 armed uprising in Mongolia

• Lesko uprising

• Constitutionalist Revolution of Brazil

• Ecuadorian Civil War of 1932

• Sanjurjada

• Colombia–Peru War

• Chaco War

And technically the Emus vs Australia. This list has not been vetted by a professional nor is it a complete or exhaustive list.

Depends on which country.

TBH with how Obama treated Netanyahu versus Trump admin backing single state solution: I bet the war on the Gaza Strip wouldn’t be happening, either. Not at the same scale, at least.

“Leaning inappropriate”. And it was through Twitch’s message system. Also no confirmation on a meetup, that is hearsay, but hypothetically if Doc said he would be at a convention in character that itself isn’t a red flag. Markiplier meets kids at conventions all the time, gets autograph lines out the doors.

Twitch already “did nothing”. The supposed chat logs were from 3 years before his ban.

But rumours are just that, at the end of the day.

The fuck? Where did I defend him?

I’m just dismissing delusions and mass hysteria by presenting what we do know versus what we don’t. I don’t NEED access to what was said, my entire statement is that we don’t know what was said.

If you’re a 40 y/o entertainer using your exclusive platform’s built in chat to engage with your fans and audience without a filter, you haven’t done anything wrong. What do you call inappropriate? Using the word ass, either figuratively or literally? Talking about hemorrhoids? Religion? Marijuana? There really is no information to work with here, and Doc couldn’t provide it even if he wanted to.

I would be very surprised if an 3 year statute of limitations were somehow involved in all of this. And I’m not defending the Doc’s actions or statements, I AM saying “we don’t know.” Because we don’t.

It doesn’t seem like such a large gap or grey area to me. You can tell a woman “Nice T-Shirt” and that is fine but “Nice Tits” is not fine, it’s a pretty clear division to me. What could the Doc say that would qualify him as the monster people are calling him but also not illegal?

They attempted to not pay out his contract btw. He had to sue them to get that, and they payed it out. If they had evidence of such behavior from him then I’m sure courts would agree that his own actions destroying his own public image would have been more than enough reason to cancel the contract.

I’m not defending any potential actions he took, but:

There are laws about sexting minors, so if he had done that then he would have broken it and they would have plenty of evidence of that.

If nobody above 18 is morally justified to be in a chat with anybody under 18 then we’ve got some serious societal level issues to fix.

EDIT: And btw they tried to get out of paying him 20M, but realized they had no grounds to do so when he started his lawsuit. They had incentive, here. They wanted to not pay him.

He never tweeted that he “sexted a minor.”

Link to HIS TWEET

“These were casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate, but nothing more.”

Now, I personally pretty regularly say a lot of shit that can be considered “inappropriate,” but that does not equate to sexual on its own. I’m interested in seeing how this story develops, but it seems most people have already made up their minds and branded him a criminal.

I am willing to believe the accusations, but I won’t take the word of people who tried to weasel out of his contract termination fees.

If they had evidence of sexting in 2017 then why didn’t they report it to the police? Why quietly ban him in 2020?

Seems to me like they had monetary incentive to remove the Doc.

Yeah, I was gonna say we’re past the point of legality being the biggest concern in that situation.

Rivian comes off as a tech bro startup that has talked a big game but produced poor results, they’ve been advertising autonomous self driving since like 2015 or earlier. After shipments started, so did layoffs.

VW has a long history of reliable manufacturing to high standards in Europe. They’ve had executives make claims that they would overtake Tesla as the world’s largest electric car company by 2025. Obviously, VW has been lagging hard on EV and won’t reach that goal, but if I had to pick a favorite car company it’s between them and maybe JEEP or KIA.

Mixed feelings, I like VW but I don’t really like Rivian.

Look, mate, Apple will betray you at every possible turn. The prices they charge don’t justify the products they sell, and you incur risks by merely using their products which fail after only a few years and you’re not allowed to repair. Literally every reason you would purchase a mac, you would be better off to go with Linux or Windows instead. Even if you like the efficiency of the apple ARM processors, which they hold the advantage in only via anticompetitive market practices, their low lifespan doesn’t seem to justify the cost. Generally they’re built to last about 7 years, due to California regulations, but they experience major slowdowns and failures after about 2 or 3.

And the entire time: you’ll funneling money into sweatshop operations.

Sucks to suck if you ever need one repaired. Which is very often.

TBH if it weren’t for windows I don’t think anybody would be dumb enough to use a Mac computer. Microsoft really wasting potential in the OS market, though, I agree.

Windows actually aren’t a very big share of their revenue, but Office is yeah.
