If what you’re talking about is military casualties, then it’s not unreasonable that a country cares more about their own than the enemy. But when civilian deaths are on the line too then it feels excessively narcissistic and selfish.
“Oh did we kill 300 school children?? … That’s not a big deal, but did you also hear that five us service members were killed? Let’s only focus on how sad it is for each service member!”
I hear you but I can’t relate to you. If I don’t like anyone in the show, I actually like I don’t want to watch it. I’ve yet to find a show or book or anything where that’s not true. I don’t have to like the person in their entirety, but if there aren’t at least some aspects of them that I enjoy then fuck em. I’ll go spend my time doing something else.
I honestly can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, but I kind of agree with those statements. I just couldn’t get into breaking bad or better call Saul or BB. I each gave them a number of episodes to get there and I found it a slog. It hurts that I don’t like the characters and that makes me hate the time I"m spending with them.
Try not to dwell in the “woe is me” narrative. Today’s younger generation has some challenges, but thinking “this is the worst any generation has ever had it by far” is total bullshit.
Not me! My pet dinosaur can sleep on the fucking floor!
Sorry my statement wasn’t that the only villains were black people, but rather that when black people were on the show they were always villains.
But that wasn’t in the '90s. The last thing I can actually think of as an example of point-and-laugh at a race was Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961). In the '80s there was Dukes of Hazzard, but it wasn’t overtly racist, they just only had black people as bad guys in the deep South. As a kid that went right over my head.
I think most examples in the '90s would be stereotyping races but not making fun of them. Overtly. Kind of like the token Asian or the token black guy to fill out a group of friends. I guess I want more examples to be given because when you’re younger a lot of that stuff goes of your head compared to when you’re older.
It’s all about empathy. If they lack empathy or kindness then fuck them. I don’t want them in my life and I prefer not to interact with them.
As father of an 18-year-old who is about to turn 19 and a 17-year-old she’s about to turn 18, I can’t imagine booting either of them out at this age. Could they stand on their own? Probably, but it seems inhumane and cruel.
I hope leaving was your choice and that it worked out well for you.
My wife’s 4’9" and I’m 6 ft and this is never the view I see. That Delta height is exactly the same as what the op height differences is. If I’m looking down and she’s looking up our faces are only about a foot apart. Op’s picture makes it look like it’s 2 ft or more.

“but I didn’t need those extra PCIE slots!”
Older people have a much harder time taking on and off shoes so it makes more sense that they leave them on all the time. The same is true for overweight people. (Although I would have thought the old people definition would be >60 not >40)
Why is this right wing or left wing housing?
I guess you can maybe make an argument that this is centralized planning, trying to make the best use of the land available and that right-wing would be pure chaos where the market decides what’s going on. On so you’d have sprawl next to Mansions next to slums, next to McDonald’s, and no parks, and every single tiny piece of land has a building on it, and it all must be fully utilized trying make money in some capitalism way?
Honestly, it doesn’t seem the worst way to do it from a housing density standpoint. Yes, we all want the standalone suburb house or some spot in the countryside, but that’s not the world we live in. For high density housing, this doesn’t seem that bad. Each building has a balcony and overlooks a park and has fresh air and sunshine… How do you do this better?
or is it about equality? Every unit here is equal and therefore bad? That seems a positive in my eyes. Is that really the difference here? There aren’t the ultra poor and the mega rich all mixed in together… Where the poor are in slums and the Richer mansions, is that right wing architecture?
What’s the best way to build high density housing? Tall buildings surrounded by Parks seems to be the most optimal way, right? What am I missing here? The buildings aren’t pretty enough?
And “utter menace” in what regard?
Trump will pardon all of them before leaving office.
If this story doesn’t convince you that birth control should be free to anyone who wants it, then you’re an idiot.
Anything can be backdoor… In, but I’m really struggling to see how you could do something useful with a dram chip. In theory, if it were smart enough, it could analyze the data that’s being stored and manipulated in some way, but there’s no way a dram module would have the processing power and brains to do anything useful with this.
And memory manipulation would be about the most it could accomplish because the dram modules themselves don’t have signal lines that can control anything. They basically have data alliance address lines, return lines, power ground and control circuitry. They can’t affect the rest of the motherboard/ computer other than subverting data… And computers tend to be pretty good at catching memory that doesn’t store data properly.
If you tried hard enough, you could figure out a scenario where this could work, but I don’t think this is something we really need to worry about.
Let’s be realistic here, every time someone tells you so and so is their girlfriend or boyfriend or husband and wife. That means they’re getting it on. That means everything in this cartoon except maybe they use protection.
This is the stupidest load of bullshit meme around. If people tell you they’re trying to get pregnant, that’s letting you in on their life planning, not letting you in their sex life. They have a sex life, and whether or not they’re planning on getting pregnant, they’re still having sex. Grow up and get over it.
Actually don’t have a problem with this. I think all countries should have one primary language that is used across the entire country and that everyone in the country knows the language.
No, I’m not saying you should suppress the native languages or do things like only allow that language to be used in government offices, but for schooling and general communication, I think it’s best if everyone in the country is using one language. That helps keep everyone linked culturally, which is a crucial part of having a unified country.
