So what is the other option? We stay in the abusive relationship just out of fear of confrontation? How about we take care of our interests and if cold war starts we make sure we win it.

How the USA should approach Eastern European region?

Does US or other western country ever retaliate? It seams to me that Russia and China keep attacking as and we do nothing. Was vkontakte ever taken down? What would happen if an US hacker group "independent" of NSA would attack a Russian company?

Every time I read this kind of message i feel like it's propaganda that is trying to make the west weaker by convincing people to not work on military technology. What you make can hurt people, yes, some people deserve to be hurt.

I am interested in learning RE also. After some search on the internet I found that most people recommend Practical Malware Analysis book. I started reading it, it's seems pretty interesting. I didn't get to the RE part yet but from looking at it seems to be pretty good for beginner.

They will develop their own industry but without stealing R&D from the USA.

It is better to hold them down while we, the west get stronger. They can escalate tensions all they want they still need warships, nukes, microchips, etc. to do something and as long as we stay better then them they won't do anything. In my opinion the best way to avoid a war is to have the bigger stick

Can someone explain to me or point to some studies or books that explain why brands, advertisers etc. think that having small problematic groups on a platform affects the brand? You are making an ad for group A and put the ad on subreddits visited by group A, is the "dirt" produce by group B that bad for you that you need to get rid of group B?

Aren't there any corporations that market to people who like guns, violent videos, etc? Is if you like guns you don't exist or consume anything? I bet that a lot of people that like guns drink a lot of coca cola and eat a lot of junk food.

It's a bad idea. I got guilt tripped by my friends a year for not voting in the parliament election (not from US).

“I don’t want this to come off like we’re shaming our friends into voting,” said Naseem Makiya, the chief executive of OutVote, a start-up in Boston. But, he said, “I think a lot of people might vote just because they’re frankly worried that their friends will find out if they didn’t.” It's incredible to me how some people can make a bad idea look nice by using words.

"Political science research has shown that people turn out to vote in higher numbers when they think their family and neighbors are observing their civic behavior. The VoteWithMe and OutVote apps simply automate that surveillance and social pressure." It is because of fear and the bad thing is that it's harder to fight against these ideas that use nice words like "research", "strengthen democracy" because you come off like being anti democracy, anti science etc. In communist Romania there were elections and if you didn't participate there where bad consequences and because of that there were 99.9% turnout but I would not consider that a victory for democracy.

Some people say that if you voted or not is public record. Yes it is public but there is a difference between 1 click and jumping through some bureaucracy to find that information.

Streetwalkers do this because they are poor and lack the skill to do something else. Some people simply don't have the skill to do things.

I don't know how to say this and not come as a jerk, but regarding the glass ceiling. By the time a women hit the glass ceiling sex work is not an option because they are old and the only sex work available would be streetwalking or low level escorting which dose not pay as much as under C-level manager or where the glass ceiling is.
