I’m just now noticing how sloppy his robot arm sleeve is.

Likely a production issue where the prosthetic just wouldn’t fit in the sleeve so they said fuck it and cut it, which is what civilians would do.

But that man is a citizen, and active duty. A) since so many of the military members are missing limbs it stands to reason there would be a standard protocol, even a special shirt issued for members who’s limbs no longer fit. And B, presumably, regardless of limb status, torn sleeves have got to be a few lashings.

No way man tell you what my brother skeet done seen that dang ol sasquatch when he went to to Calistoga to seent his two brothers Jim and Jed. See they was out huntin one day though I think Jed was out evadin the police on accounta he’s got warrants and unpaid could support, an he an Jim are wanted by the bondsman see, so they was out huntin deep in them woods up there up by the squirtin hole and them old rock woods you know? Anyway they was out there and they seent him. Big ole samskatch. Tain’t no yeti in no bear suit man maybe a Stanley though it were pretty big

Communism is when the government

10 thousand people marching would make world headlines. Though admittedly that’s more difficult than smuggling soup in to an art gallery.

It’s to get cameras thrust in their face so they ask when oil executives will face consequences.

“Is destroying art worse than destroying the whole planet???”

It’s an idiotic form of protest, it accomplishes nothing but turning the public against you, and forever associating your cause with petty vandalism.

most members of the warrior class were little more than brutish thugs. A handful would have taken the strategy of individual combat seriously and they would have done quite well.

The majority of the people they were fighting were lightly armored at best and they could get away with just swinging the sharp end at the unfortunate peasant conscripted to try to stop them.

There are plenty of examples of knights and samurai alike, falling for just the most obvious trap you could imagine. Templars charging in to open gates, samurai rushing to duel a guy who insulted them, in both cases blood drunk and stupid, children of privilege and in armor by accident of birth.

The Last Duel is a decent example of what happens when guys like that and up fighting each other.

We tend to have a romantic view of the past, but we have a great Instagram filter between us and then. Reality is ugly and violent. Few people are artists, even fewer are talented artists. This is true whether they’re painting or drawing blood.

My roommate in college was from Seoul. He was vehemently, vocally, angrily anti Japanese. His friends from Korea mostly shared similar views.

Korea and China don’t share much in common, but hating Japan and by extension people from there is one thing they do. And for similar reasons.

They’re still really pissed about the horrific war crimes.

There’s a bit in one of the Expanse novels where one of the main characters is remembering a dog he’d lost as an adolescent. The dog laid down and one of his parents explained what was happening. He vowed to remain at it’s side until it’s last breath, but after three hours he was just bored.

That bit always stuck with me.

Years ago I left a shitty call center job and left a scathing review on glassdoor. About a year later I started getting hammered with requests for clarification or to remove the review entirely. I ignored them all, and never bothered to look back. It’s still up, but the company I worked for sold itself to some other shitty overlord that also had terrible employer reviews.

Gotta rework it so there’s no negative words. “Learned valuable lessons about selective acceptance.”

You may have an insulin issue. Or a gluten issue.

I also can’t eat that many carbs in a day.

If two parties are at odds with one another, and one on them is willing to use violence and the other isn’t, the violent party wins.

Non violence works when people care about what you’re going through. If the right people know and care they’ll come in and do violence for you to make it stop. Or at least verifiably threaten violence. But violence is happening whether you did it or not.

Nazis don’t give a shit about you, they’re eager for violence. They want to exterminate entire classes of people. Non violence does not work on Nazis, we’ve already seen this play out once before.

Is this an inside joke or is he a creep?

It’s ok. I survived. I’m not sure what he did but I survived it.

Listen buddy.

First of all, men are brutalizing women all over the world, every day, regardless of religion.

You should think about religion as less of a driver and more of a record. Like a dictionary.

People will do whatever they want to do, and then they will justify it. If there happens to be a few convenient passages in a religious text justifying setting your spouse on fire, they’ll repeat that until they’re blue in the face while dousing a woman in gasoline.

And sure, you can say that they use that text to tech their kids, but they’re still just teaching the bits they want to.

The point is, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, doesn’t matter. All major sacred books have bits about brutalizing women that step out of line, and the people that really like those bits tend to climg to them to justify being horrible fucking people.
