It’s a fucking depressing state of affairs…

Lol have you seen kids these days? I’d be surprised if more than 15 percent are fit for service, and of that 15% maybe half would pass a drug screen.

So their options are to stay and be killed, or leave? I’m not sure the exact terminology to use here, but “voluntarily” ain’t it.

Aviation peaked with the Spruce Goose, AKA the Birch Bitch, AKA the H-4 Hercules. Been downhill ever since…

Fuck!!! Can we stop wrecking the planet for like 15mins? This may be the most tedious extinction event yet. At least with a comet you get a good show and it’s over relatively quickly. Fucking dinosaurs don’t know how good they got it.

Jesus. Ten of the hottest years ever recorded were the last ten. Its time for some major changes. If more people rode public transport it would be better.

All your objections seem to be about how inconvenient it would be for you. Sound kinda self-centered. Act like the only way to get by is to continue to conspicuously consume everything. Get a fuckin grip.

Edited with less profanity and name calling

Or maybe he thought that was the wisest thing to tell a group of 18-20somthings. Not a demographic known for cool deliberation or self preservation. There’s a reason the draft starts at 18 but you can’t rent a car til you’re 25.

This. Not to mention china spilled a river of blood to keep n Korea Communist. Really the most realistic, best thing for the people of n Korea would be for China to topple the kim regime and set up a new government. Even Xi’s bullshit would be preferable to whatever cult theocratic bs they’ve got going now.

N Korea will be around as long as it suits China.

Unless it was some third party testing it out for no other reason than a large crowd presented itself. Or a third party who just wants to fan the flames. Maybe both. I probably read too many spy novels.

Ppl are saying it’s possible but prone to cause problems

Mint. It’s not sexy. But it always just works. Never had an update break anything. I’ve got an Nvidia card, which ppl said was notorious for not working with Linux, it just works. The installer just reached out and grabbed the appropriate drivers, so easy. Have yet to have a steam game not work.

10/10 would recommend for anyone.

Putting the shoe on the other foot isn’t justice. Have trials for specific crimes for sure. But random extrajudicial killings are just more of the same shit. The trick is to be better.

Easy fix: don’t buy this garbage to begin with. It’s terrible for the environment, terrible for your privacy, of dubious value to begin with.

If every man is an onion, one of my deeper layers is crumudgeon. So take that into account when I say fuck all portable speakers. I’m so tired of hearing everyone’s shitty noise. Just fucking everywhere. It takes one person feeling entitled to blast the shittiest music available to ruin everyone in a 500yd radius’s day. If this is you, I hope you stub your toe on every coffee table, hit your head on every door jam, miss every bus.

Never heard of it before now. Just looked it up, and wow. So nice to see a beacon of hope and civility break out. Would be real nice to see that spread. For those as ignorant as I was

Looks real good on paper. Here’s hoping!

Edit: just learned about Jineology. Really cool and definitely worth a read!

It would be awesome if some of those refugees go back home with capital, know how, and firsthand knowledge of how great a free and representative democracy can be. I can’t help but feel there’s a real opportunity to give people the tools they need to build a country they can love living in.

I’m sure humans being what we are though there will just be more violence, greed and hate. Seems to be the theme.

Not in this life anyways

Basically that foreign aid often props up and legitimizes shit head dictators. Here’s a summary..

Edit: I just realized that was a paywall, sry. But they’re right in that pdf’s are easily found. It’s an interesting read, definitely recommend reading even if I don’t think it’s the most useful brush with which to paint

Where are the Jewish communities that existed for millennia in these countries? Ask the coptics how they feel, ask the Kurds. I’m not trying to defend Israel by any means, but it’s disingenuous af to claim the region was some bastion of tolerance and understanding.
