There needs to be a name for when people pretend that nobody believes something that people absolutely believe.

Russia also wouldn't be invading Ukraine if NATO wasn't trying to cut them off the black sea.
NATO was planning on taking Krasnodar Krai? That's a new one to me.

Well, the fact is that these two things have basically nothing to do with one another. And it isn't even a matter of "political capital is finite and government can only do so much" because China policy is federal and locking up toothpaste is local. We're talking about completely different policy spheres.

Some of those guys are probably mythical, but I would expect that a lineage like that has had sufficient eyes on it over time that it's real. Obviously there's a chance of infidelity along the way, but that's almost missing the point in this context - it's clearly about who was recognized as the heir even if they were illegitimate.
I bet tons of guys claim descent from Confucius and it's bullshit, but that doesn't mean that every claim is bullshit.

Surely a private security guy would have a regular gun/silencer so he doesn't need to cycle the gun manually each time?

Absolutely not. Hospitals are happy to negotiate down payments to zero or very little. I've known many people who aren't penniless gangbangers who've done this.

A fancy computer program in a fancy robot might, though.
Well, the fancy robots already exist and are already doing productive labor, the only question is how much productive labor they can do.

The competitive pressures that cause South Koreans to not have any children may well be destroyed by a 50% drop in population or fully automated luxury capitalism.

Any Seoulologists want to chime in about whether this was somehow telegraphed? Seems out of left field to this casual observer, although I am dimly aware of the parade of high level political scandals in Korea recently.

Most people (I know) don't view the purpose of marriage to be producing kids, and therefore don't think it's weird to get married without any intention of producing kids.

I have the misfortune of professionally (well, it's not in my job description, but still) being on the receiving end of products of the DEI consultant industry such as mandatory trainings and style guides with verboten phrases and focus group approved substitutes.

On top of being American built, the ships must also be crewed by Americans.

You didn't say anything about any D victory.
Quality comment, I truly can't imagine which country you could be from.
"Onions are nasty" is surely a sentiment that could only be expressed by an American, but an American would surely know that onions are standard on burgers. Even a Big Mac has onions.
