I’m someone’s favorite.
Yeah, I’ve never once seen anything but criticism over the US’s involvement in the middle east.
The most I’ve seen is a couple people saying the equivalent of “well SOMEONE had to do something about X” And a bunch of others jumping on them to clarify that X either never existed, or was massively exaggerated and the US isn’t the World Police.
Genuinely would love to see someone link a good faith comment trying to argue the above, so I can tell them all about how they’re a fucknut
Can you truly say you’ve had the HB experience if you haven’t recieved emoji/sticker/gif spam from people who weren’t alive for 9/11, have never been outside their country, and refuse to listen to opposing views, but know with full certainty that all western countries are 100% full of genociders and colonial rapists who all deserve the glorious death the super benign, extremely peaceful and misunderstood countries of North Korea, China, and Russia who have never once been correctly accused of human rights violations…
And of course, if they point out that your country has dipped into those things in the past, well your entire worldview is shattered and their whataboutism has solved everything and proves you deserve the death they crave for you.
I know someone who has a tattoo of a pair of round-rimmed sunglasses with"Elton John" underneath in a signature style.
“I just love his music”
Still weird.
I’ve seen almost that exact sight so many times…
For a second I thought it was 2012 again and I was curled up under my blanket with some hot chocolate to play skyrim and watch some cartoons.
And I was in my 20s.
Seems like a lot of people want a scapegoat for a problem that could never possibly have been one person’s responsibility.
And if you think about it, it’s hundreds of thousands of people’s fault
But that doesn’t make for a nice finger-pointing PR game.
I’ve got a laundry list of reasons to hate any C-suite on earth, but I’m not gonna blame the CEO for an IT issue (even if it’s an IT-type company)
Centralized systems cause widespread problems when they fail. I learned this lesson as a child playing RTS games whenever my power plants got attacked. Don’t rely on one spot (or one company/product) for everything or your whole base will go down (or your computer systems crash and burn)
Spoken like someone who doesn’t even know how a household battery works and has absolutely no idea how they’re different than this who just wanted to be contrary.
Not OP, and I could be completely wrong on how these specific things work, but it seems to me like they work as a rudimentary voltaic pile:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltaic_pile
Take a look at the diagram, and imagine a metal alloy or even little bits of metal close to each other, and imagine the electrolyte is seawater.
It’s a super basic accidental nature battery.
Just wait until you hear about basic accidental nature nuclear reactors… And no, I’m not joking.
SCIENCE, BITCH!
So Republicans fully support a white republican female as president?
Where is this candidate?
Oh right they’re still on the “old white guy” train and it’s not about skin color or gender beyond their racism and sexism.
I already need a second hand to count the number of times I’ve heard people saying “she used to be a prostitute” in public or at work, while also not remembering WHO said that, where they heard it from, or any sort of evidence to back it up beyond “I just pulled this out of my ass because she’s a woman and that’s what I associate women with”

My in-laws are bitching about the heat and how it’s driving their electric bill up to keep their massive extremely-windowed house cool.
My in-laws also refuse to plant trees in their massive, empty, flat, baby-shit-green lawn because it “ruins the view”… Of the road. And their neighbors house. And the tips of the trees behind the neighbors house.
They also refuse to get new windows, because their 30 year old windows aren’t broken. they don’t need curtains because they got tired of changing them every season and holiday with themed festive or otherwise-coordinated-with-mood colors… And of course awnings would just make the whole house look ugly, because a large beige rectangle would just look so much worse with awnings…
I get not wanting to spend thousands on new installations, up-front costs are a bitch.
But planting trees is so cheap…
I read this as “don’t enjoy”

I’m sure a therapist wouldn’t read into that, or that my first thought was “I’m sure a therapist…”
There ARE people who don’t really talk, but the gathering isn’t complete without them. They add to it in plenty of other ways.
Interesting you went straight to “US” even though the only other country mentioned anywhere here is Italy…
Shit happens everywhere Bro.

People don’t grasp immortality and infinite time.
“High in the North in a land called Svithjod there is a mountain. It is a hundred miles long and a hundred miles high and once every thousand years a little bird comes to this mountain to sharpen its beak. When the mountain has thus been worn away a single day of eternity will have passed.”

It’s a wild Concept to me that there can be laws that make “finding out how the thing works” illegal…
I love all the people who try to say I have double standards when it comes to people getting ear injuries.
Its not that I have double standards, it’s that none of the fascist dictator wannabes I’ve seen almost get their head blown off simply don’t meet that standard.
Ooh, I hadn’t thought of the possibility of Ai enhanced regular photo.
Of course, the Muskrat and Faceburg have both always given me “uncanny valley” vibes just because that’s how they look normally
Dude spent a shitload of money on a photographer so he could feel like a cowboy for a few minutes.
Edit: I’m still not sure it’s actually a real photo though, it doesn’t sit right with me.
Well… The species will probably survive, as will a plethora of other species on the planet.
The things that definitely won’t survive are modern society and it’s status quo.
Nobody wants a nuclear war. I think we can all agree that it would be bad for an uncountable number of reasons.
