I think you mean to say, my "feels" are based on justification!

Is English your second language?

Btw abortions rock, I'm responsible for my fair share,

I dont think that's the brag you seem to think it is?

but I think using clickbaiting as a weapon is bad, even when it's for good causes

You haven't explained how you think this is click bait........ Something doesn't automatically become click bait, just because you think it's over an excitable topic. That would make all headlines click bait, based on the subjectivity of the observer.

"something (such as a headline) designed to make readers want to click on a hyperlink especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interest"

There's a reason we have the Jenova Convention, after all

Lol, it's like I'm talking to an AI that's done way too many whippits.

The geneva convention, is an agreement pertaining to how soldiers interact with civilians during times of conflict. It has nothing to do with what we're talking about.

Oh because it's all just for optics.

Hey, that's a highly reductionist take. When did super charging the military industrial complex become "just for optics"?

Without funneling billions of dollars to corporations like RTX, this would be a very wildly unamerican conflict.

But your "justification" is based on feels......

The article goes into great detail supporting the substance of the title, meaning it's not click bait or manipulation.

You are the one attempting to manipulate people by claiming that the title is something it's not.

Lol, you can't confirm it's click bait unless you read the article.....

None of your critiques are valid, as the substance of the article is congruent with the messaging in the title.

You're just being lazy.

Yeah, I could, but it's a perfectly valid line of conversation to critique a post's title.

I don't think laziness is a valid line of criticism. I also find it strange to critique a title separate from its intended context.

we have the saying, "Always judge a book by its cover, and judge a response by it's grammar"

I don't think that's a very common idiom. It seems to imply that pedantry is more important than substance.

Depends, but most of the time with NDA they don't prohibit you from talking about how an accident happened. They just don't allow you to assign liability/responsibility to the company.

The victim and the family of the victim kinda fell over themselves to make it clear that they don't blame the company, despite the fact that they were so negligent.

To be fair, they may have signed an NDA as part of their workers comp agreement. The prosthetics he has are pretty rare to see on people, as most private and socialized insurances won't cover microprocessing knee units.

The vast majority of the time when you see a high end powered knee unit on a guy that young, it's because they had a workers comp case, or they got them at the Walter Reed veterans hospital.

The knee looks like a Genium x3, which alone can bill for around 100k. His prosthetic feet bill for around 10k a piece, and then there's probably another 50k for custom sockets.

Even if he did harbor a grudge against the employer, in his position it would be difficult to rock the boat and potentially be on the hook for his acquired medical cost.

It's unfortunate, but I've definitely had a patient who was successfully sued for losing their leg at work. Word to the wise, don't get hurt on the job in Kansas.

You could always read the article......

K2 is just running on a big diesel engine, so it's not going to be as maintenance prone as the turbine on the Abrams.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 8 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

They've already kinda been doing that, just indirectly. Western partners have been giving their old stock of 155 to Ukraine and then resupplying with Korean made 155s.

I think a real game changer would be if they actually decided to give them access to the K2 tank. It would be interesting to see what an actual modern tank could do in Ukraine, especially considering they have layers of protection against drones and atgm. Plus they can crank them off the production line faster than any other nation.

If you don’t work for Samsung or SK Group you are lower class.

I mean, that's just factually incorrect. South Korea has a fairly large manufacturing economy, a lot of my family are shipwrights and make really decent money. The other half of my family works for banks and for the government, none of them are considered low class.

South Korea does have a pretty brutal work regiment, but they also have very aggressive trade unions who aren't afraid to go on massive and often violent strikes.

old friends who do work for those Chaebols will stop associating with you.

According to who? I mean you may stop seeing them as often, but that's just because the work culture often extends out of office. It's pretty traditional to go out drinking or eating with your coworkers, but that doesn't mean people stop associating with their friends who don't work with them.

This post, at this time, is very obviously pointed at influencing the US election.

Criticizing a genocide doesn't automatically mean someone's trying to influence an election, especially considering that it been constantly criticized for over a year.

trump and his people have literally talked out loud about how great the "beachfront property" will be for Israel once they annihilate Gaza and the Palestinian people.

If both political parties geopolitical goals align with Israel, what exactly leads you to believe this is meant to influence the election? It's not telling you to vote for stien, or trump.

Maybe if people didn't go out of their ways to shield any level of criticism of their representatives we might have a more functional democracy, and maybe there would be less kids dying in Gaza.
