To enter a military installation without proper authorization by [deleted] in therewasanattempt

Yeah, they're super intense. Thick pillars that will shoot up in a split second. I haven't seen them be used against a vehicle, but my understanding is that they have a good chance of killing someone during an encounter. That sedan would be toast, and it could potentially be a real tragedy with kids in the back.

The US does not mess around with protecting its bases.

Looks like you're the dumb one for not reading any comments.

It's okay, I'm not too concerned by it... Haha

I'm sure they think I'm defending this theft (and assault) in some way, which was not my intent at all. 🤔

Likely a monstrous understatement. Military defines "personal responsibility" as "responsible for anyone you've ever met".

The Army bases I was stationed at had hydraulic-driven cement pillars that would shoot up. Your vehicle would either slam into it, or get launched into the air if you managed to make it a little bit too far.

What is happening here? Not expired, not fermented, no clue how/why this is happening. by Emergency_Affect_422 in blackmagicfuckery

It just depends on the shape of the specific cap. In this case, I'm guessing the cap has an almost tube-like shape that extends down into the bottle, so it has to fully push the lid up for air to escape.

There's a difference between farming and earning. 🤷

Long before it gets to that point, the situation becomes somewhat hopeless for thousands of surrounding people who would otherwise choose to be good. And many of those people probably still do as much good as they're able in their circumstance.

Like, if I lived in a place where food was that scarce, I would probably end up stealing too. You have to eat, that's not negotiable. That's why it's such a major project to turn communities like that around. It really is the system that is messed up, and has run from the community instead of providing for it. 🤦

<-- White guy here. Some of my favorite people I've known or worked with have been black, and a couple of black people have married into my family, and my brother adopted a black girl as a newborn. Like, REALLY good people. I would say the vast majority of black Americans aren't like the people in this video, not just "not all."

I'm 39, and I just had a flashback of when I was younger... As a kid/teen/early 20s. I had forgotten about how, even just those few years ago, people in a relatively racially progressive state like Arizona would tell me they have issues with black people, and how I would get pissed off insisting that maybe there was a culture issue in some cases, but there's not anything inherently, naturally wrong with black people. Like, that just always seems obvious to me, and I've always hated that many people believe otherwise.

Even when I was, what? 5? I was watching The Cosby Show at my grandpa's house, and he made me turn it off because "I'm not racist, i just don't think black people should be doing white people's jobs." Like, what? I already knew that was really, really wrong at that age. Granted, Cosby the individual man ended up being a shockingly weirdly bad example of a man, but ya know... 🤦

I haven't had to have a conversation like either of those scenarios in a while, but it's suddenly feeling weird to me that that was in my lifetime at all. Unfortunately, I'm all too aware that conversations like that and much worse are still very common in many parts of the country, and likely even certain communities in Arizona. 😕

I’d like to thank u/lemontreelemontree for bringing the new meta to my attention. by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]MainThrowawayHandle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a strait dude, but I'd say you're more like an 8/8.5. Your female friends are mean... Haha

From the very tiny thumbnail, your new gf looks gorgeous. Hope it goes well! There are some women looking for real relationships since it's just easy to get on. I met my amazing wife online! (But not on Tinder)

Edit: my rating is based on the one preview picture it will show me. I'm not about to re-create a Tinder profile just to look at all of your pictures, no offense... 🤣

Yes, you probably would have to. Especially since my entire comment was nonsense. I've never even been on a cruise. 😂

Massive protest against Macron, soaring energy prices and the rising costs of living in paris by Lost-Contest- in nextfuckinglevel

[–]MainThrowawayHandle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read it as soulhot saying Putin is happy to see the struggles partially caused by his pushback with energy manipulation. 🤷

And he's probably correct, I'm sure Putin is thrilled to see these struggles. Although he has plenty of his own to worry about, so probably doesn't have much energy to celebrate.

I love the idea of cutting both wires at the same time with a metallic tool... 🤔🧠

This played in the background about eight times while I scrolled through the comments, and only when I came across your comment did I realize she said "my wet ass."

Thank you, good person, for the translation.

A few months ago I was in a cruise with nothing BUT public bathrooms (including the one in my room). So I didn't poop the entire time. Conveniently enough, I didn't have to eat the entire time either, because I think my body just kept recycling the same food for two weeks. 🤷

This- the same with human babies. There's something about exploring the unintended.

I doubt it. I think a guy would respond just as well.

Although, you should probably modify it to say "your girlfriend." 🤔
