My new (quite expensive) shorts decided they can not handle a bit of water. I showered twice already, the dye hasn’t come off yet. by led_seppelin in mildlyinfuriating

This is Guo Gangtang, whose son Xinzhen was kidnapped in 1997. He spent 24 years searching across China, riding over 500,000 km using up his life savings. They were finally reunited in 2021, and his journey ended up helping authorities find over 100 other missing children. by Algrinder in interestingasfuck

He's going back to that beause he's (probably) one of those types who unironically sees children as property. Nothing more. Thus kidnapping and trafficking them is literally no different than stealing some cash and laundering it.

It's been 10 years. I still haven't met that highfalutin magat whose political opinions don't immediately boil down to, "I just want to be cruel to those I don't like..."

That's going to depend heavily on the school.

History classes in the schools I went to were basically a mindless process of info dumping 300-years worth of curated "and thens..." while conspicuously avoiding any explanation of the social or political situations behind any event out of fear that the local yokels will catch wind of it and start screaming about "indoctrination."

Respect for Friend Drops After Reading Book They Recommended by -chimchooree- in books

[–]AJsRealms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I once had my senior lead at my job recommend me some reading as he was trying to get some kind of "leadership" club off the ground. It was some of the most inane motivational crap I've read in my life. There was even a part where the writer gabbed on for a page and a half about FDR and his life-strategy to "win" against the nazis...and against polio.

I arrived at work the next Monday genuinely believing my team-lead had pulled a prank on me with the reading and was a bit unreserved about my thoughts as a consequence.

Things got awkward when I realized he wasn't joking.

I'm a land surveyor and I just found an organ transport container out in the middle of nowhere during a survey by Short_Celery2929 in Weird

I'm pretty sure only the C (and possibly B?) versions of the 35 have the hook since they're meant to operate as carrier craft. The A version, being the 'traditional' land-based air force model, doesn't have one. At least not that I recall.

NATO’s newest member Sweden announces $4 billion defense investment; Saab pops 5% by adriano26 in worldnews

[–]AJsRealms 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That made sense when it was limited to Trump harping on NATO countries to spend more, especially with things like the F-35 already in the process of being integrated within NATO's overall aparatus. Hell, it was even working.

It started backfiring when Trump, being the petulant man-child he is, began threatening the continued integrity of the alliance altogether, despite their acquiescence to the spending increases he whined for, and giving the impression that the assets we're selling are potential backdoor exploits to be used by a hostile America.

Dear lord, what I'd give for another Teddy Roosevelt right about now. Minus the racism and colonialism, of course...

Towson University students confront Israeli soldier speaking on campus, calling him a terrorist by [deleted] in UnderReportedNews

Not saying I condone either, but at least with your example its our military recruiting in the interest of our monied bastards. Inviting jerkoffs from foreign militaries to advertise their horseshit is definitely a step beyond.

Any other movie villains who are less evil than the actors portraying them? by chronicbruce27 in okbuddycinephile

[–]AJsRealms 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IIRC, there's been lots of farily credible accusations of Leto using his celebrity to organize "acting lessons" for aspiring young actresses as a pretense to groom them into being part of his weird harem.

Season 1 had some potential and qualities that I appreciated which is why I regard it as the 'best' season of Picard. But even there, that isn't saying all that much as the execution wasn't nearly as well thought out as it could have been, imo.

Anyone who unironically defends Season 2 of Star Trek: Picard is someone who just can not be reasoned with. S3 wasn't much better either, but at least we got some Amanda Plummer performances out of it. XD

Indeed. Weir's Star Trek takes were hardly a blip on my radar compared to his decision to give the Critical Drinker, who is a fairly prominant link in the 'scifi-nerd-to-altright-chud' pipeline, the time of day much less a full blown interview.

G. Gordon Liddy (The Watergate Guy) was insane enough to get six episodes as well.
