If psychological assessments of my line infantry company were required, we would have lost ~15% of our guys to some sort of program.

And those budget savings could be used for infrastructure or even preparing for all the issues AI is going to cause or who knows what.

Seriously. Canada and Mexico are not going to invade and A navy 1/4 the size it is now could prevent any naval attacks. We might want more for projection, but I feel we could do a bit less of that at the moment. Maybe we could work on being a good neighbor for a while.

It’s insane to me that they cast Cruise as a guy that Alan Ritchson is only marginally big enough to play as described in the books.

I’d like to be optimistic about this, but it sounds like how we talked about ICE a couple years ago: “They won’t just take people off the street because we have due process here”

A bit south of you, but if you end up at Lake Quinault Lodge, I had amazing biscuits and gravy there a couple years ago. I still dream about it, haha.

As to optical, when we were very poor my girlfriend used Americas Best, and is satisfied with them and still using them even though our finances are much better.

Jesus Christ, you’re wrong and obviously incapable of accepting it. In the future, you’ll do better engaging with others in a more adult way.

Seriously. As a kid growing up in the 70s and early 80s that seemed so far fetched and weird. I entirely understand now.

One of the lessons of Athens must be that democracies can inflict atrocities just as well as autocracies. Our democracy does not make us moral; we must make moral our democracy.

Yeah that’s a titanic 3.5%. Easily worth destroying the environment, while simultaneously producing nothing and causing a mental health crisis.

This is the position of every teenager that likes a band before they become popular. Then, with no other changes, except airplay, they’ve “sold out”.

I’d be up in those hills on a rainy February night looking down at warm cars full of dry people driving by and I would curse every one of them for the hour of my 50/50 watch.

I attended UCLA as a 31 y/o, and it was rough in a way 22 y/o me would not understand, given how cute all the ladies were and the 10 year age difference.

If your belief system is against the concept of equal rights, your belief system can fuck off.

I am so very, very tired of all these tech assholes and their Very Special Boy Syndrome. The only known cure is poverty. We must confiscate and redistribute all of their assets. For their own good, and for the good of society.

Nah, I didn’t see it as an attack. At worst I thought maybe you were thinking a depot abusing his power to rape women (horrible) was as bad as a policy culture of rape. Something like that anyways. Again, good talk!

Everyone talks about how prescient Idiocracy was but I want to point out that president Camacho, while a buffoon, was a better, nicer, person than Trump is. Sad.
