Agreed that they have a pretty big military in terms of raw numbers. I’m not going to discuss quality because the biggest question mark here is force projection.

How are they planning on sending over any significant manpower and supplies across 2800km?

They don’t even have a navy capable of circumnavigating the korean peninsula, much less make the trip to Ukraine or the wrong side of Russia.

They have 2 transport aircraft, the bigger of the 2 has a max passenger capacity of 44 pax. Neither of those have the range to get near Ukraine when flying fully fueled, nevermind if it were fully loaded.

They couldn’t even track or enforce their previous 5 day work week when errant employers made their workers work beyond 5 days or mandated maximum hours, there is no chance in hell they will catch unpaid overtime.

I wonder how much was promised vs how much is actually going to be delivered and how long before Malaysia learns they’ve been shafted yet again.

Made sure the butt stuff is not silicone based. Petroleum derived oils or even oils in general will wreak havoc with silicone based materials

Tell me, master Bruce, why do we fall?

So we can pick ourselves up.

Someone’s gonna get jailed for revealing state secrets and embarrassing the party.

Welcome to the Great Leap Forward 2.0

This is a drop in the ocean compared to the centuries of lost physical artefacts and writings.

All it really amounts to is a small headstart. It seems like a big gap initially because you’re comparing 0 years of experience vs 2 years of experience.

But across a 30 year career its a mere 7% difference. Frankly after 5 to 10 years of experience it becomes a lot less about how long you’ve worked, it instead becomes more about how you’ve spent those years and how that translates into benefitting the company. When a company is hiring for mid level and above, it doesn’t really matter to them that someone has 8 years vs 10 years. An extreme example would be someone with 5 years at Google vs someone who spent 10 years jumping between small start ups.

Trump is already a loser president.

Captain obvious! Its been such a long time since we last saw you! How have you been?

Ultimate uno reverse card.

To be contrarian,

I’d count this as a YOLO. You only live once and choosing to live it with decorum and immaculate professionalism or playing the long game is also a valid response.

Maybe one day, they come crawling back to you? Take them for all they’re worth or shove it back at them.

I had a lucrative job offer for a fairly senior role from a company that previously retrenched me. I got their senior management to wine and dine me. All in the guise of discussing the role, how I saw the future of the industry and my plan for taking the company to where they wanted to be in 2 years. Then after all was said and done, I told them I wasn’t interested. It felt good and besides I make way more now than they could have offered me and it would have taken me away from my family and put me in a very stressful role.

This is the Rick and Morty episode where rick becomes a turkey to get pardoned isnt it?

He prepare a council before my enemies. He fills me with midichlorians. My body overflows.

I shall dwell in the jedi temple all the days of my life.

Still has YT shorts, still no dislike button.

We’re paying but it doesn’t feel like we’re customers. It feels like we’re paying protection money otherwise we get ads shoveled down our throats again.

It doesn’t work. You end up messing your sleep cycle with the only benefit being you’re awake for 22 hours in a zombie state with reduced cognitive abilities, poor decision making and reaction time.

Why not both? I’m guessing when we eventually see the full picture, its going to be Scooby Doo levels of malice and incompetence.

Everyday we are reminded of the damage that state-sponsored misinformation can do.

The stupidest part about brexit was that it was a non-binding referendum. They could have just ignored it. But I guess sometimes you need your house to burn down before you realize why we need a publicly funded fire department.

Dracula 2000.

I rest my case.
