What do they even do with those profits? Doesn’t look like they’re refurbishing the infrastructure (inb4 that new pipe to China - not what I meant). Doesn’t look like they’re investing much into those online platforms they own. Is it just the same “buying real estate in Europe”, but now extra hush-hush?
Makes me wonder what will happen should China fully switch to renewables and nuclear, as seems to be the plan
Sounds like that was the plan and reason from the get go
Good point. FOR THE EMPEROR!
Warhammer 40,000
Gonna have to be that guy and note that the game is “Space Marine 2”, which is set in Warhammer 40,000 universe. Sorry, it’s been bothering me more than it should

This isn’t USA though
Do they demonstrate equal care with secular objects?
It was, especially since we weren’t given a leave or anything. So we would just sit around an empty office
Forgot to mention some stuff too: the evidence of IP theft came from one of the directors of the company taking over our project, the accusations themselves were presented by the owner of the overall company, who came to our city in person with some rather brutish fellows in tow (we were told they were his cyber security experts). While the investigation was ongoing, we were barred from using our workplaces, our computers got locked, the computers of the accused people got taken away altogether and both the team lead and the other guy got subjected to a lie detector test.
It was a tense new year’s eve.
I was part of a small team and our two chief people got accused of stealing corporate IP and selling it to competition. That was part of a larger mess involving the dissolution of our entire company branch. People were ordered to write transfer requests and move to a different company (which was taking over stuff our branch did). Those that refused were told to quit. Those that refused to quit had pressure applied to them (via fudging payment, raising their workload, etc) until they quit.
It was a mess, plain and simple.
There’s one that is both for me. It is a legend of how the hoopoe bird came to be.
cw violence, SA
Short version: this bloke starts lusting after his wife’s friend, so he kidnaps her and hides her in a cabin in the woods. He also cuts off her tongue, so she can’t call for help. She eventually manages to send word to her friend (aforementioned bloke’s wife) somehow (I think she crocheted it? It’s been a while). Upon learning the news, the wife kills her son, cuts off his head and makes a meat pie with the body. The blokes comes home, eats the pie, and calls for his son. Wife tells him “he’s already in you”. Bloke is confused, so she pulls out the bloody head. Dude flies into rage and starts chasing the wife (and the friend he kidnapped, IIRC the wife brought her home). Eventually they all turn into birds. I forgot which birds the ladies turn into, but the bloke turns into a hoopoe - his helmet becomes the bird’s crest.
It’s kinda disturbing for what should be just “cool looking bird”.
Let me guess, it is so USA could slap a base there?
