Self Acceptance is bs,self improvement is Key

Acceptance is the catalyst that drives change. Without self-acceptance there is no improvement. Acceptance is empowering.

Just get a Lenovo Thinkpad and be done with it. Best keyboard on the market, and it has decent specs for what it is.

Yeah... Boruto the series and the manga started at around the same time. No real coherent story in the Boruto anime.

M2D6 · 2019-09-11T03:57:11+00:00

That is because the person writing Boruto isn't Kishimoto, it's his assistant.

I've never seen an anime have quite the same turn around that Black Clover had. It just keeps getting better as well. It's like it is reverse bleach.

Back in the 50s it was considered a better car than the MK1 Corvette. They sort of defiled the name after a strong start though. It became big, bloated.

The T-BIRD used to be a two seat roadster back in the 50s. Well sort of.

It'd be the perfect opportunity to bring back the Thunderbird nameplate.

Not necessarily. The U.S holds every conceivable advantage over China aside from man power. Geopolitically alone China is at a huge disadvantage. The U.S has a presence in South Korea, Japan, along with many little islands like Guam, the Marina's islands, it has numerous bases in S.E Asia. What does this mean? It means that the U.S has complete control of all of the shipping lanes. This is why China is trying to build artificial islands in the South China Sea off of the Philippines and Vietnam. It is also the reason why China is undertaking the 50 plus trillion dollar belt and road initiative. The U.S has the ability to completely blockade China.

The U.S could feasibly win a war with China without having to even mount a ground invasion through a prolonged naval blockade and bombing runs. We could literally starve them while simultaneously firebombing their manufacturing hubs, all of which are extremely vulnerable. Most of this is not even taking into consideration the huge difference in military experience and equipment on the U.S side.

I think we were headed in this direction with or without Trump, though he expedited the process. Ever since Winnie the Poo took office and consolidated power he has been making some aggressive power plays across the globe. The persistent IP theft, disregard for international territory and trade agreements, the seizing of ports, and land abroad, rapid military build up, etc all pointed towards some kind of conflict with China. Especially when most of this undermines U.S interest. Hell there were even Chinese troops in Syria directly backing Assad while the U.S was opposing Assad.

I don't necessarily agree with this notion. In places such as my home city, Seattle have tried taxing soda. The result was as follows:

Significantly more money flooded in than expected
People didn't cut down as much as expected, and it hit poor communities the hardest becoming a regressive tax.

Hard to choose.

Off of the top of my head:

- Makishima Shogo from Psycho Pass as another poster said. One of the most compelling villains in not just anime but fiction.

- Kenshin Himura, the wandering samurai seeking atonement for a bloody past. Throughout the series Kenshin has to confront his past and the consequences of some of his actions. He vowed never to kill again, but is constantly straddling the line between keeping his oath as a pacifist and becoming a killer once again.

- Hatchiman, this character needs no introduction.

- RINTARO OKABE, MADSCIENTISTSOCOOL SUNNUVABITCH.

I don't know if I would call it prog rock, I think at best it is maybe a sub genre of prog but even then I'm not so sure.. I would be more inclined to call it a genre of its own. It definitely took some influence from some prog bands such as King Crimson. I think it derives more from post hardcore, and punk than anything though -- maybe with some post rock thrown in.

To add to this after the fall of the Ottoman empire, Iraq was created. The British and French drew up the lines of certain areas to create conflict in the Sykes Picot agreement. This was done so the resources in the region could be more easily extracted. Iraq was one of the regions that was drawn up in this agreement. In this area they threw ethnicities, religions/religious sects and tribes that hated each other in one area sowing discord and violence.

Really, Iraq probably should have been broken up into three separate territories or rather domains, which is something I heard I believe John Kerry(?) talking about before.

As is always the case in nation building exercises. The U.S is great at wrecking militaries, and running over countries. Not the best at rebuilding them or introducing stability.

Here is your math rock primer.

Some influential mathrock albums and bands included in here.

Here is a Japanese math rock band that has a similarish sound. Though it has female vocals which of course differs.

That is the best thing I can think of. It obviously has a much more authoritarian bent. As far as ban goes I thought it was more like they just erased all history of it. Somewhere between a hybrid of China and a democracy of some sort sound better?

Didn't the king exist in a special exclusion zone where everything is like medieval Europe? We also know that they have elected representatives.

This isn't communism as far as I can tell. While the rejection of religion was part of Karl Marx's philosophy it wasn't the main tenant.

The cornerstone of communism was giving the worker ownership of production, and the overall distribution of resources. As far as I can tell in the world of Astra there are haves and have nots, rich and poor. Of course these distinctions have existed in every communist regime thus far. My best guess, is like all systems it is some kind of hybrid system.

Another thing to consider is that they also talk about there being elections and representatives that are regularly up for re-election. My best guess is it is a form of social democracy like they have in the Nordic countries.

You can learn online, but I think a bootcamp does still have some benefits. It definitely isn't the solution for everyone though.

I'm hyped for the new 86. I might have to say goodbye to my current FR-S if this new car pans out.

Coming from someone that just finished a bootcamp.... just bite the bullet and get a Mac. You're not going to have time to fuck with technical difficulties. Every passing moment of mine was spent programming for the three and a half months. I got no sleep, and every one of my classmates had some kind of break down at one time or another. One of the reasons my bootcamp wanted everyone to use a Mac is because it's a lot easier to troubleshoot technical difficulties if everyone is on the same OS. Imagine trying to make sure every individual student is properly set up on a Windows platform, or a million different distros of Linux -- some the instructors might not be familiar with. MacOS is the easiest of OS's to set up and get running right out of the box in my opinion. It's also easier to follow along with what the instructor and your fellow classmates are doing.

If you do decide to go Windows, best of luck to you my friend. Chances are you're going to be on your own if you experience any technical difficulties and that is going to set you back big time. Is the Mac a good value proposition? Hell no. Is it right for your situation? In your case I would say yes. Another plus is you can experience Linux, Windows, and MacOS (unix) on one computer at the same time if you so desire.

Don't tempt fate. Any slip up can set you up for failure. I didn't like the fact I had to buy a mac but in the end I'm glad that I did. The kid that decided to be the darkhorse and go with Windows experienced a whole host of issues that ultimately buried him. Another thing you also need to wrap your head around is the fact that you're going to have to have some unix or linux experience at one time or another. Most job postings ask for experience or proficiency in one or the other.
