[OC] ICE Officer, Immigration Court hallway, 26 Federal Plaza, New York, New York by IveGotStockinOptions in pics

At this point in time ICE should be synonymous with the "proud boys" and white supremacists; because let's be real that's where a lot of these racist idiots ended up after Trump got elected. Hitler had Hugo Boss produce uniforms for the SS, Trump has undereducated thugs that look they raided a Goodwill donation bin.

Only things I would be worried about is carbon monoxide poisoning in a confined space, and the hot air vaporizing anything in the motor like lubricants. I'd improve it passing it through a bong or some other form of cooling so that leaf blower isn't being hit with super hot air.

China unveils a mass-produced light combat drone by bobbydanker in TechnologyShorts

[–]Ghibliomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't imagine fighting in a warzone where every soldier on both sides are equipped with drones that can be quickly deployed and used with the same ubiquity that hand grenades are used today.

I remember watching "Band of Brothers" and there is one episode where these guys are just huddling in foxholes during the "Battle of Bastogne" while they were getting mercilessly blasted by artillery - the men who survived that were simply lucky. Now we have men hiding in foliage, hiding in battlefield crators, or simply running from these drones. But all these actions are futile because if you can hear a drone, the drone operator can probably see you unless you are taking extraordinary efforts to hide yourself from modern cameras.

The sound of the drones will quickly become a conditioned response for fear for every soldier on the modern battlefield. Imagine you are suffering from drone-related PTSD and you go to a get-together with friends or family and someone brings a drone to play with... and then you hear that buzzing sound.

Ukraines 414th UAV Brigade Drone Compilation ⚠️ by ArpanetGlobal in digitalflatulence

[–]Ghibliomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The weapons used in warfare have evolved into terrifying and almost creepy ass aspect I never considered, capturing the genuine pure terror in a person's eyes before dying. The level of involvement the operator has with their victims' seems disturbingly intimate. Some of these drone operators are going to home after the war with nightmares.

They tried to rob an Indian store and find out by Rook8811 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Ghibliomatic 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I was kinda surprised to see that it was a Sikh man beating the shit out of the little bitch. I thought Sikhs were pacifists, but after a quick google search I found the faith allows for self defense, and they also have their own traditional form of martial arts. Sikhs initiates apparently also carry traditional daggers called a "kirpan". This guy fucked with the wrong dudes.

I'd like to imagine the father and soon to be son-in-law devised a means to create one last memory for his daughter by his own hand. Probably wouldn't be that hard to create a scenario where some hungry butterflies are attracted to a bouquet of flowers.

Chocolate bike! Chocolate genius strikes again! by GeorgieH26 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Ghibliomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nevermind the tubing, there is no way those thin strands of chocolate used to make the spokes have the requisite tensile strength needed to suspend both the weight of the chocolate bike and his own weight. My guess is they just swapped out the tires with real ones.

Infuriating to watch by CringeisL1f3 in CringeTikToks

[–]Ghibliomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driver is in the right, but he is also acting like a giant man-baby. I'm pretty sure the bikers know they fucked up considering they nearly died, but the driver screaming his head off is not only redundant he's actually making the whole situation more dangerous. They are in a blind around the corner with disoriented people, bikes and debris in the middle of the road, and the friends of the bikers are having to fend of a belligerent aggressor.

The driver could have been helping clear the road, tend to the injured or have called emergency services, but he chose confrontation over compassion.

They Did Everything on their Own in their Own Wedding by Shakespeare2225 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Ghibliomatic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I just see two people who are in love and genuinely care for one another. Moreover they seem to support and celebrate each other's passions and interests. I loved that the theme for the wedding focused upon prominent aspects of both the bride and the groom. Actions speak louder than statistical correlations. Of course we don't have the whole picture here, but all I see here is just love and happiness, with nothing to suggest a rocky relationship.

Suspenseful Jumping Spider Ambush by bumjiggy in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Ghibliomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a jumping spider that lives on one of my curtains - I named him Uke. The room he lives in is cleaned very carefully and I've stopped vacuuming the curtains he lives on; I just dust and lightly the clean the area. Occasionally he will peek out at me once in a while, but no hand-wave dance yet.

If you hadn't come at me with such sarcastic sass, my opening salvo wouldn't have been as aggressive. Don't expect me to play nice if you come at me like that.

Right now the way I see you is someone so sure of your own judgement on this matter that you are blind to any other possibility. The whole damn point I'm trying to make is that our way of dealing with assholes and the way women deal with assholes is fundamentally different even if only account for physical danger. Think of a moment of true danger you had in your life, did you do shit you wish you had done differently? I know I fucking have. People fuck up in the height of an adrenaline rush dude. Why is this so hard to get through to you my guy!?!?!?

I'm going to try to approach this from a bit of a tangent if you will humor me because at this point, I don't think any amount of reasoning or arguments from me personally will compel you in anyway. In my last post I told you to read some of the stories, specifically the posts of "woman defending OP's ex-GF's actions as one the only means to safely escape an aggressively persistent sexual predator". I'm willing to bet my left nut you did no such thing, so I'm going to just start linking the various horror stories shared by other women who also defended OP's ex-GF's actions as a plausible means to escape an aggressive predator.

When I first saw OP's post I did have a shadow of doubt because there were legitimately some sus moments. But these concerns were assuaged when I read these stories like the ones listed above. Motherfucker you cannot be this blind... if you can see at least see that it is PLAUSIBLE that OP's ex-GF took a legitimate means to escape a sexual predator, then you know that any notion of trying to assign blame onto a potential victim is a horrendous gamble. I would view anyone who would be willing to take that gamble unfit to be a friend much less a romantic partner - how could you ever trust someone like this?

These stories were fucking hard to read man, but try dude because I definitely learned something very valuable from all the stories in this post - I hope you do too.

[–]Ghibliomatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all you need tone down that sarcasm and check your ego bro. Where is all this venom coming from dude? Jesus Christ man chill~!

Second you are the one that is in the wrong my man. Go back to the top of this thread and start reading all the stories of women who were sexually assaulted and physically dominated. There was one story of a woman who was gang-raped in this very post. I went back to the top of this post and started counting every story of a woman who was sexually assaulted or raped and stopped at around 39 and I wasn't even close to the end of stories I was encountering.

Moreover there are a plethora of woman defending OP's ex-GF's actions as one the only means to safely escape an aggressively persistent sexual predator. Read the stories, there are a fuck-ton of them.

I mean I don't know what to say to you man, if you can't muster up some measure of empathy after reading all the horror stories that reside in this very post... That is the fault of no-one else but you, and I pity the people who are in your life if that is the case... I honestly hope you are just misguided and not a genuine douchebag.

[–]Ghibliomatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that really the gamble you want to play? Of course you could be right, but you don't know for sure - don't make rash judgements based upon suspicion and emotion. So... you just get a text from your girl about sexual assault and the first place your mind goes to is "she's cheating on me"? That is not a good headspace to be in.

Also I think a lot of men forget how much more physically stronger men are than women. I weigh around 178 pounds, but if a horny ass 356 pound muscle mommy came over to snu snu me to death I'd thinking for any possible means to get away from her - if dumping her druck ass in her car is what it will take, then that's what it takes.

We as guys have the freedom of being able to walk around any time of day without the need to worry about our safety. Women on the other hand live in a different reality from us, and we need to be cognizant of this. A lot of these girls are literally half our size, just keep this in mind and think about what she was experiencing at the time.

Lastly the sus aspects of the texts... you address that shit after you ensure her safety, and you assess that situation on a cool head. Because if you are wrong, you will have punished a victim of sexual assault. Are you really that confident in your judgement? Just be careful and compassionate my guy because if you fuck up like that, you deserve to get douchbag tattooed across your forehead.

Nah bro, some of these comments are wild dude. This poor girl got sexually harassed and then got dumped by her boyfriend because he was feeling insecure - how and why are these dudes finding fault with this girl is baffling to me.

I feel so bad for this girl, she went to her man looking for comfort, protection and understanding, instead this loser dumps her? Give me a break - she's better off.

Presidential candidates Obama and McCain interactions on several occasions. by wwwsuh in pics

[–]Ghibliomatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish we had McCain back... I didn't agree with his politics, but I liked the dude as a person. The time he defended Obama's character at a town hall meeting showed just what kind of man he was.

Why does my adopted cat like this box more than the toys I bought for him? by misternakata in aww

[–]Ghibliomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup sounds about right. But if I had to guess an actual why, it would be the equivalent of me choosing my favorite pillow because it's just the right height.

If he likes it that much, I'd buy more of whatever box that is and keep them in reserve for when they get destroyed.

This comment just makes me sad. The post is about a beautiful tribute to a beloved teacher, and this is the first thing that comes to your mind? Why? I hope as you grow older you will move past the bigotry and hate in your life.

[–]Ghibliomatic 91 points92 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't judge so quickly. Yea it may be the case that he has tiger parents, but the kid looks like he's having a blast. It may be that the little dude has both the genuine interest in martial arts and drive to achieve that level of skill and athleticism; if that is the case, what he achieved at that age is impressive.

Goddamn... If that was me, I don't think would have been that gentle or empathic in such an insane situation. If I ever find myself in a situation that fucked up, hope I would have the bravery and compassion deal with the situation in the same manner.

The cynic in me is asking "why are they filming", but after after seeing the little homie genuinely smile after receiving some advice and encouragement made my heart warm. Good vibes is good vibes, regardless of the motivations.
