#Spy Network

[gwydionmisha]

Not surprisingly, our abandonment of allies and the entire concept of democracy in favor of being a kleptocratic autocratic Russia satellite state is having repercussions

Honestly, it's Five Eyes should be quitting the organization and forming a new one without us, as our government and Intelligence services are now in bed with Putin. They shouldn't trust us. Anything they give us, Trump, Gabbard, etc. will leak.

This is the biggest proof they watch the show with their eyes closed. Buck spent MONTHS living in Abby's apartment hoping and praying she would come back, and then they framed it as if Buck was still hung up on her in season 3 over a year after she left him. Saying Buck didn't care about Abby leaving is insanity. Buck kept waiting. He clings, that's what he does. What are you talking about???????

Chinese people and technology (2) Chinese people lack originality (Essay)

Fighter engine

1) A Westerner assessed the Chinese people as having " good memory but lack originality." This view was written before WWII, but it applies to the Chinese today.

2) Therefore, since they cannot create new technology, they adopt technology invented by other countries and improve it slightly. They mainly model fighter engines on Russian engines and improve them. (They have recently developed their engines. But performance is unknown.) They copied high-speed railway technology from Japan, but there were many problems and accidents, and it is no match for the original Japanese Shinkansen. They threatened to embargo rare metals, forced Japanese companies to form joint ventures, and copied strong magnet technology. It is a technology essential for EVs, but they cannot develop it themselves, so they copy it from Japan. Solar power generation is also copied from Japan.

However, no radical technological innovation has been achieved in any field, and Japan is developing various new technologies. And China is trying to steal them.

3) They do not transfer high-speed railway technology either. When building a railway in another country, materials and engineers are brought from China, and no technology is taught to the other country. China monopolizes everything. This brings no benefits to the construction country. Japan even teaches local engineers how to maintain it. Is China not confident in the technology it copied? It is not a technology China developed independently, so it cannot be applied. There aren’t enough case studies, and I believe their system can’t deal with unexpected situations.

4) The reason why China has spread its spy network all over the world is probably because it is unable to come up with new ideas on its own and wants to steal other countries' ideas and inventions.

中国人と技術（２）中国人には独創性がない（エッセイ）

以下は、ある欧米人の中国人評価だったのだが、「中国人は暗記力が優れているが、独創性がない。」この見解はWW2以前に書かれたものだが、現在の中国人についても間違いなく成り立つ。

だから新規の技術は自分では作れないので、他国が発明した技術を導入して、少しだけ改良する。戦闘機のエンジンはもっぱらロシアのエンジンをモデルにして改良する。（最近独自のエンジンを開発したらしいが性能は未知数。）高速鉄道技術は日本のものをパクったが、トラブルや事故が多く、とても本家日本の新幹線には及ばない。レアメタルの禁輸をちらつかせ、無理やり日本企業に合弁会社を作らせ、強力磁石の技術をパクった。EVに不可欠な技術だからだが、自分で開発できずに日本からパクる。太陽光発電も日本のパクリだ。でもどの分野でも抜本的な技術革新はできず、日本がいろいろ新規技術を開発している。そして中国は、それをパクろうと狙っている。

高速鉄道の技術移転もしない。他国に鉄道を建設する場合、資材も技術者も中国本国��ら持ってきて、他国にはなんら技術を教えない。すべて中国が独占する。これでは普請国にはなんのメリットもない。日本はちゃんと維持管理法まで現地技術者に教える。中国はパクった技術には自信がないのだろうか？自力で開発した技術ではないので応用が利かないのだ。ケーススタディも足りず、想定外の事態には対処できないと推測する。

世界中にスパイ網を張り巡らせているのも、自分で新規の発想が出来ないから、他国の発想、発明を盗むためであろう。

It's almost as if....... No, I shouldn't say........

Buddies are "review bombing" 816 because of a lack of Eddie is rich coming from the people who were review bombing 806 because of the breakup (I was gonna screenshot more but they are long, just go here and read), had coordinated efforts to flood Instagram comments with tags that ranged from #tommybubblesbuck #alliwantforchristmasislou #goforkinard #talktotommy #tunedinfortommy among other, who had templates and tutorials on how to send feedback to abc to demand Tommy to be brought back. Posts on what tag to comment for the imaginary valentines day post they were so sure they were gonna get, letters being written and physically sent to the fox lot. But sure, someone going on imdb to give a one star review on the episode a beloved main character FUCKING DIED is about an imaginary ship war that's been over since November. Just shut up and go pay Lou 5 dollars to talk to you.

This is fine and cute and just "expressing your disappointment" and "letting the show know what the audience really wants" when it's about a secondary character that adds nothing beyond fuel to your fantasies of two white dudes kissing and representation of people who used to be racist but think it's fine because they are queer and it was 20 years ago. But if I express my disappointment because the main male lead is DEAD, and I'm crazy? Got it.

would you happen to know why people are talking about a fight over tomatoes??? my timeline is so confusing right now i cannot find what the original source was 😭

Okay, I'm gonna reply to this one because this one lets me be informative without anyone calling Lou names yay.

Okay, there was a video going around, it was a 15-second clip, that it seemed like Ryan was arguing with Lou while filming yesterday, with no context, it just seems like Ryan was saying something along the lines of "have some manners, have some respect"

Then someone tweeted this in reaction to the video.

This is the video, I tried cleaning the audio, but there's too much noise, it does seem like both Ryan and Kenny say the word tomato, but that's as far as you can get without like, lip reading, which is not an ability I personally have. Do I think that's what's happening? Who the fuck knows. You can watch and reach your own conclusions.

This is legitimately one of the whiniest most unprofessional things I’ve read in a while. Dude you were a GUEST star, get over yourself. Who wants to hire someone throwing a literal fit just because his side character didn’t get picked up for more screen time??

That interview is the most unprofessional thing I've ever read. I literally don't even know what to say.

I'm sorry this is making me laugh so hard. They think we have inside information and are leaking it and it's literally just us assuming/speculating that buddie might fight based on the public information that literally everyone has. Media literacy so strong they think you have inside information.

Buddies leak:

We're literally speculating they'll fight because of Eddie's face in this, what?????

What a wild ass day today 😂😂

Ryan running round shirtless

People deep diving a weird ass interview from a weird ass man and finding it to be 96 percent ai based.

The offical account acknowledging all the theories of what’s to come in 8B

The Poor social media person being exhausted by spam accounts

Buddies being blamed for Tommy tumblrs being banned (it’s the Lou hacking gate of 2024 all over 😂)

And a journalist making this tweet putting buddie in good company with the other ABCS ships.

What a year today has been for real lol

Nurse the collider BT writer escaped and wrote another article again.

It's so funny to see the BT shippers timeline between the summer and now: "well BT is superior because the ship is CANON, and even if they break up (which they won't) they will be that way" -> the first seeds of doubt the moment S8 began airing and Tommy did not get a major part in the opening disaster -> the frantic scrambling when Eddie acted like Buck's partner in the hospital scene, as well as the first multishippers popping up (i.e. "Eddie is dating both of them," often not sexually and with Tommy at the centre) -> a complete state of grief/disbelief/anger with 9-1-1 when the breakup happened, because they didn't see it coming -> the BT fandom as it was fracturing into different factions, some of which form closer alliances with Buddies than they probably ever expected, and others remaining steadfast in their belief that their ship is the Only Morally Permissible Truth I can't wait to see where they're taking this after Buddie goes canon lmao, and what "evidence" they'll use to call us delusional and themselves truthers then.

Yeah, it's been a RIDE. The whole expectation of "you need to respect canon" that came with the ship is insane, especially since they broke up and they refuse to respect canon themselves.

Honestly, after buddie goes canon, I'm expecting an influx of "this is actually how Buck will realize Tommy is the love of his life" and "I hope you're happy this couple exists because of the blood of real representation" and "I can't believe they would reward the bullies like that". With a nice side of "this is fan service and came out of nowhere" everywhere. I actually have a cope bingo card ready to go lol.

Ok that’s wild to me. They make it clear they haven’t seen the episode yet but

They literally used their company’s official account to say they are a buddie shipper and come on gay Eddie.

Like. What.

HELLO?????? Everyone is on our side.

[lover-of-mine]

Anyway, Lou do be continuing to just say anything to keep them paying him, huh? He gets 5 bucks per message and an infinite flux of them through false hope......

[lover-of-mine]

we should bask in the win we got but i think that this needs attention since this reeks of biphobia the same biphobia they are accusing oliver

The way they literally are acting as if Buck is only bi if he's actively in a relationship with a man is vile. They have the nerve to call Oliver biphobic and follow it up with something that's actually biphobic. Also can we stop begging for rep for the sake of rep, Jesus.

[lover-of-mine]

Trying to imagine fandom reaction if Megan West did something like this fresh out of s5. No way y'all would be saying how much you love her and how much Tim screwed up. But hey, white man gets to have everything.
