    I assume it was yet another scrapple project like that parking garage that collapsed earlier this year. Will America ever overcome its good-enough attitude?

      Soviets: some random steel plant had so much durability they couldn’t collapse it with modern weapons like 50 years later.

      Americans: how much can we save in material costs if we fudge the numbers in the safety margin?

        Let’s also bring in the epic engineers of 14th century China for comparison. Their city walls were so durable that not even 20th century artillery could punch through them. Nowadays America builds their walls out of plastic and sawblades. Disgraceful!

      Firstly because I left Reddit for a reason. And secondly because what’s the point of screenshots of text when you can just paste the text, especially considering that some people with visual impariments can’t read screenshots?

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
