I cant wait to see who the Republicans try to impeach in their childish and inevitable retaliation.

And the race to be the first law firm to win against AI continues. The law firms have run out of B-list celebrities to feed fears to, and now we’ve moved onto octogenarian authors. Surely, next up will be a class action suit by 6th graders complaining that Chat-GPT stole their “What I did over summer vacation” reports without citing references.

I just found out that ‘seasonal’ businesses such as theme parks don’t have to pay overtime! They are often staffed by young people from other countries. It’s some bullshit.

Also anything Alex Jones. This right here, is EXACTLY why he does what he does. No PR is bad PR for him. The dumbest move is trying to tell people about how dumb this guy is. It’s only feeding him. This is how Trump won. Keep your name in the Zeitgeist. Keep gaslighting your victimization and the victimization of your constituency. Gish. motherfucking. Gallop.

Why should we care? I’m being serious.

billiam0202 , (edited )

Well, China acted within all known maritime laws, so them being close isn’t in and of itself a problem. But imagine if the US Government didn’t comment on it and some shithead right-wing conspiracy asshole like Alex Jones found out about it? There’d be all kinds of new false realities about US-China relations.

Undoubtedly they’ll do it anyway, but re-spinning the narrative is less effective than making one up whole-cloth.

Also, we stop this all the time. Everyone does this all the time. Riding just on the edge of a border, maybe dipping a toe onto the other side a little bit. It’s testing to see how good your competition is, training, and moral building.

What makes this a little more newsworthy is how aggressive China had been lately, mainly against defenseless fishing boats; being cowardly bullies. They’re not going to turn water canons on US commercial vessels, much less warships, but one benefit of cozying up to and aiding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine gives them a freer hand to driver around in the Bering Straight. Like a dog, pissing on telephone poles.

some_guy ,

Huh, what a completely reasonable response to my post. I hadn’t considered this but I absolutely agree. Thanks for providing some good context.

Chainweasel ,

Sending a warship within the EEZ isn’t a violation of maritime law but it is provocative and shows that China is trying to “test the waters” and see how we respond.

Cypher ,

It is not provocative at all and is regularly practiced by nations including the US, UK, France, Australia, Canada, Russia, China, Japan, and more.

There are UN sanctioned freedom of navigation exercises that enter EEZs all the time.

This is literally business as usual.

catloaf ,

We, as in you and I, shouldn’t. This happens all the time. Any country with a military does this, whether it’s by land, sea, or air. The military cares because it gives them an opportunity to see what the ships are doing, what they’re equipped with, stuff like that. And because we have to protect our borders, lest they turn up on our land somewhere unnoticed and start saying it’s theirs.

Esqueda was a “member of a very elite task force, the violent persons task force,” Lee said.

So he was part of the worst of the worst? What’s the bet this cop exercised excessive violence on the regular.

I hate cops as a general rule, but this seems a bit of an unfair opinion unless you’ve got evidence for this specific officer.

'Ships in international waters' ... Total non story

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

“Chinese military ships in international waters but within the U.S. exclusive economic zone” is a bit less of a non-story.

JayTreeman ,

Exclusive economic zone is an area of the sea in which a sovereign state has exclusive rights regarding the exploration and use of marine resources. It doesn't limit travel.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

But it does show force when a rival power sends military ships through it. Which is the point.

This is not something China normally does. They have no legitimate military reason to do so. You do understand that, right?

JayTreeman ,

Of course they do. Those seas are notoriously rough. They need to test their ships. It's also a show of strength.

This isn't terribly unusual for the us to do. Is it slightly provocative? Yes. Is the narrative also fearmongering? Also yes

andyburke ,
@andyburke@fedia.io avatar

The US admiralty specifically said what the Chinese ships were doing was legal.

You calling this "fear mongering" is pushing the discussion out of normalcy.

catloaf ,

Reporting on it like it’s unusual is fearmongering.

mkwt ,

Specifically, the location is fairly far away from China and the South China Sea. So that by itself represents a level of blue water capability that the PLAN has not been well known for.

nossaquesapao , in Two 80-something journalists tried ChatGPT. Then, they sued to protect the 'written word'

Is it just me, or is this article written in a way to try to use their age (a non relevant information for the topic imo) as a way to get the negative sentiment people have against elderly people and try to pass the image that feeling wronged by the way companies are using their works is “old people behavior” and that younger people should feel pushed to embrace “the future” without questioning?
