Plenty of actors carpet bomb malicious content and would be happy to make $1000 in BTC ransoming grandma’s computer.

Yeah, “video” was common, but “VHS” wasn’t. Maybe kids who developed language as the format was expiring in the early-mid 90s didn’t have lots of examples and just thought the letters printed on the tape were a noun.

When they were widely used, people called cassette tapes “tapes” (common) or “cassettes” (less common). I don’t recall anyone calling a VHS videotape or VCR “a VHS”.

Similarly, I have seen people recently say “a vinyl”, which wasn’t ever the way it was said. (it would be music “on vinyl” or “a record”).

Do you mean a VCR? Or A “VHS tape”?

When I see these pro-China pieces, I remember that Chinese citizens can’t speak freely, exercise political will, or breathe clean air. As well as China’s actions towards the annexation/militarization of surrounding waters, erasure of Tibetan and Uyghuar cultures, and propagation of destabilizing online propaganda.

OP seems to post quite a few.

Looks like a typical agitprop/anger amplifier news spammer

In what world is the Wall Street Journal “liberal media”? The same WSJ owned/run by Rupert Murdoch and his son? Or is there another one?

The trick is that the ends are where they put the spying/surveillance code

None of the changes matter if the restaurant employees don’t give a fuck.
