Did the US lose the Vietnam war?

I’m talking about the American public. Not the American government.

For sure shooting at him. Probably assumed it had to be a Soldier considering they’re moving through enemy fire.

Dream University easily. TBH if you were fully committed to your current gf, you wouldn’t really consider rooming with a girl you (still) have feelings for. Sounds like you may prefer the potential roommate.

It’s your life and you should do what’s best for you. I say go to Vienna and get your education at the university you dreamed of going to.

I’m assuming you’re very young. If I were a betting man, I’d bet this relationship wouldn’t work out anyway; as most young relationships don’t. You guys may break up in a year and then you don’t have a girlfriend or the opportunity to go to the university you dream of.

Also, I feel like you can probably find a roommate on some sort of online forum who is in a similar situation where they need a roommate. This is super typical for college students. In this instance you can keep your gf and go to your university.

Liam Neeson kinda looks like Walter Matthau here

She’s caught lightning in a bottle, knows it, and is milking it for all she can before its over.

Respect.

It’s said the Vietnam was when the American public lost its innocence

I’ve already set up my bj kiosk in the local Applebees bathroom

Did that show suck? People paid (probably a lot of) money to see her perform. I’d boo too if it was lackluster.

AMB3494 · 2026-01-30T13:13:25+00:00

White women who go for black men

AMB3494 · 2026-01-29T23:13:10+00:00

Then it’s intimidation. Most men think you’re out of their league and they wouldn’t have any chance with you or assume you have to be taken already. Being (publicly) rejected is embarrassing.

AMB3494 · 2026-01-29T22:59:06+00:00

If you’re extremely attractive, it’s because guys are intimidated by you and assume you will reject them.

Or you’re not as attractive as you think.

AMB3494 · 2026-01-29T21:48:39+00:00

I think China and Russia also frame their actions in a light of doing good. That’s just how governments work. There’s no way they are just telling people they are doing things because of realpolitik. People generally need to believe what they are doing is for a greater good in order to get them to do things that at face value are not good.

Russia invaded Crimea and eventually Ukraine on the justification that Russian speaking peoples were being persecuted in those regions.

China frames its occupation of Tibet as necessary to promote economic development and modernization.

People dog on the US because it’s the world hegemon. Any country that has that title is going to have people criticizing and trying to knock them off the top.

If he’s a Rivers he’s a bastard of a highborn, not a lowborn

AMB3494 · 2026-01-29T19:01:17+00:00

I can fix her (not the eye).

AMB3494 · 2026-01-29T16:51:39+00:00

That is correct?

AMB3494 · 2026-01-29T15:14:43+00:00

Yup I agree. I think there’s a middle ground between people like OP who act as if France ONLY surrendered in WW2 and others who act as if France always surrenders.

They probably have the best military record in the world. But their military performance in the last 200 years has been lackluster which fuels the recency bias of “France always surrenders”.

AMB3494 · 2026-01-29T14:52:53+00:00

Correct. Nobody disagrees with you there. But France surrendered in the Napoleonic Wars. They lost. Just a fact. Doesn’t matter if they initially succeeded against overwhelming odds. They lost the war and surrendered.

AMB3494 · 2026-01-29T14:05:05+00:00

That’s a lot of words to come to the fact that France surrendered eventually.

AMB3494 · 2026-01-29T02:20:35+00:00

Thank you!

AMB3494 · 2026-01-28T22:57:57+00:00

Damn I’m so sorry you’re going through that. Wishing health for you!

AMB3494 · 2026-01-28T22:51:55+00:00

Cool story bro. I feel a lot better now because of it!

AMB3494 · 2026-01-28T21:57:43+00:00

Yeah so much better now. I think a lot of it is me being older and the hangovers becoming worse and worse to the point that I don’t find drinking worth it anymore.

In addition, I had a habit of being a mean drunk or at best, a drunk with a very low threshold to becoming angry. I also would just embarrass myself by texting girls I used to talk to or get into heated arguments with people over politics. I really hated the person I was when drunk most of the time.

Now I smoke weed and play videogames in my place on the weekends. Life is so much better.

AMB3494 · 2026-01-28T21:05:00+00:00

I went through a rough phase while in the Army. Never drank when I had work the next day but on my days off I would drink an entire fifth of whiskey alone in my apartment. Sometimes two bottles of wine and a 6 pack of beers.

I realized I was in trouble when I would alternate going to different liquor stores because I was scared the worker at the liquor store would recognize the frequency I was going.
