I've seen people carelessly throw away their garbage right next to garbage bins, because they couldn't be bothered to get a little closer or aim.

The bear has more determination, because it has an incentive to get to the tasty, high calorie food that doesn't require the energy expenditure of chasing it down and tearing it apart. Throwing away garbage into a designated container on the other hand is a chore that some people believe they can skip, because they are the sole protagonists in their own stupid little world.

Is there anything more dangerous than deeply insecure little men with too much power?

Let's be honest, was anyone expecting any different outcome from Embracer's hasty growth with cheap money? There was no way this would have worked out.

Welcome to the imperialist affront to international law that is the ten-dash-line (previously known as the nine-dash-line).

You just have to look in the right place. The mid budget film became high-end TV shows on streaming services, which are allowed to innovate and experiment like crazy.

The CCP was obsessed with conquering the island long before the first fab was built there. They just didn't have the means to pull it off. They don't have those now either, but enough yes-men must have told Xi otherwise.

Reason #49583 for any Russian with a degree to get out of the country.

I feel second-hand embarrassment for journalists, analysts and politicians who, for many years, portrayed Putin as this shrewd master strategist - whereas in reality, he's merely another brutish, mediocre autocrat, repeating all of the same obvious mistakes similar rulers have made for millennia.

The soldier is standing on a pedestal.

I got really indifferented, because I don't even remember the plot of the first film anymore. Also because it's the triple-whammy of awfulness, a mobile MMO by Tencent.

That's not the reason. The only reason is because they are not part of the EU.

The scooter only served as transportation for the gun. You would remove it and the mount from the vehicle, assemble the gun in a hidden position and use it to ambush enemy tanks or strike strong points.

This was an alternative to schlepping a 103 lb (47 kg) gun and mount around on foot, which would be far less pleasant.
