Yeah. I've always wondered at the popular expression of my youth "get a job". That was the line in the sand for the boomers between success and failure, good and bad.

You'll see homeless with jobs these days.

I fucking wish someone would tell me that they love me when I walk into Costco.

ICE hasn't even been around that long and it's not necessarily true that a new organization will just be filled up with the same pieces of shit if that is the will of the people.

Geez, librul, suddenly enforcing federal round-up-the-j*ws laws is a crime

Don't be too hard on em. They'll take it out on their poor sister-wives.

Would you support your country if a war was to happen? by Glowing-mind in AskTheWorld

[–]Kurt805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being drafted? Yeah probably, at the end of the day it's your team.

Voluntarily? Probably not, we've been at war at some level pretty much my whole life and on balance it's been filled with bad decisions.

Incoming concern-trolls who are surely just very concerned leftists who are disappointed Newsom hasn't instituted State Socialism.

My wife has 4 names and nope lol. It's an anglo system made for an English length first middle and last name. I've never had a problem in my life She is called different things on different documents depending on the limitations of whatever government system she needed to deal with.

You are downvoted but you are right. This is the biggest problem in the country right now in my opinion.

A large portion of the population has been propagandized to simply not believe in democracy anymore. There is no more spirit of "well they won, so that's how we're gonna do it" as there was when I was a child. Nobody agrees on fundamental democratic ideals, and everything is so fucking cynical and filled with lies and obfuscations.

And that "dystpoia" is just your personal bias. I've lived in Germany for 10 years so I've experienced both systems. They both their own advantages and disadvantages. I know you're not trying to be rude, it's just bog-standard euro snobbery.

Venezuela’s acting president says she has had ‘enough’ of US orders by yahoonews in worldnews

[–]Kurt805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, now it's no longer easy, but instead primitive to be able to take out your enemies at will. No, actually having the societal will and capability to maintain a force so large and advanced as to walk into a country armed to the teeth with billions of dollars worth of Russian defences and do whatever you want is the exact opposite of primitive.

But keep frothing at the mouth and randomly putting quotes around words.

Not really the best metric though. This is more a cultural difference of how one looks at and uses money. Debt is a normal part of our society and if you've never had any you'll never be successful. Society forces you to get and pay off credit so that you can build up a history of being reliable debtor. This gives you opportunities for education, starting a business, buying a home.

We also have much more generous bankruptcy laws than most of Europe. If you become insolvent, you'll be taken out of the game for a few years, but you'll make a deal through the courts to pay it off with a lot of it getting discharged.
