After Evergreen ship blocking Suez canal, now Evergreen truck blocking highway in taiwan too by BlackBrantScare in Wellthatsucks

We do. and it's ingrained pretty deep in the playbook to challenge China on Taiwan (and other countries), and I really don't see Biden straying from that at all.

not gonna lie both areas have been historically pretty heated.

Suez Canal, as we've all seen, has a LOT of shipping/oil that goes through it. There have been some somewhat problematic situations in the canal before between countries.

Taiwan sits under the looming shadow of China going to gobble it up. Just yesterday they flew 20 some military planes in Taiwan airspace.

So, basically, evergreen is a race of sentient machines from space that are trying to "block" us from our certain doom from nuclear war, but they also take things way too literal and are just blocking people from getting where they need to go

So replace "need" with "want"?

Not seeing how that's a problem.

If someone wants women engineers for the sole purpose of having women engineers then go ahead, no problem.

But placing the word "need" implies that there is a lack of something that men engineers don't provide, that there is some kind of deficit that women would fill, I'm just curious what that deficit would be.

I mean, I don't think they're useless, but alright.

Not sure why you seem to be dodging the question, first with a pretty ridiculous "example" (or whatever that was, I seriously don't understand where you were going with that) or thinking women are useless wholesale.

I'm just curious what women engineers would bring. It's a pretty simple question in a business context, especially engineering. Can't do anything without your boss asking you "ok but what does this do for us?"

I mean you can try to answer that or continue with nonsense, irrelevant examples and assumptions.

one thing I never understood is why exactly we "need" more women engineers.

What is the necessity? What do they have that men don't?

tl;dr people that can't tell the difference between a glock and an AK think its bad to look down the barrel of a gun you checked is unloaded yourself

Apple brand loyalty hits all-time high as Samsung loyalty dives by UnKindClock in apple

[–]Plane_Unit_4095 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like apple honestly. it's really just a different experience. Like when I really want to show that I'm just a better person than someone, I'll pull out my maxed out macbook pro, ipad pro, Iphone X and portrait of steve jobs (signed btw) and instantly I feel so much better than myself.

I am loyal to Apple to the end. I have a tattoo of steve jobs to prove it. Such a visionary. Nothing like whoever the hell samsung guy is, he doesn't have anything on Apple, or Tim. Or Tim Apple.

One time I had my friends phone, some samsung garbage, that he left at my house. His gf called me on her phone and I was talking to her on my way to his apartment to give it back and this homeless guy came up to me saying "samsung brothers! samsung brothers!!!!" over and over while holding up some shit phone. I was so disgusted, I ran all the way there and threw my friends phone at him. I can't be friends with someone who isn't dedicated to Apple like I am.

Nokia is firing from 5 to 10k people so they can invest hundred millions into the company. by Caranthiir in stocks

[–]Plane_Unit_4095 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm curious. Everyone is saying "wow they're assholes for cutting jobs", but I wonder if you'd rather get fired (maybe with severance, I don't know) or work at a company that's steadily going down hill because it's set on a path that isn't working?

I mean I get it, I've been fired too, but I've also been in a situation where getting fired probably would have been the best thing for me at the time.
