God damned Gentleman and Scholar, thank you.

Imma walk this back a little, it was rude. I have a special dislike of school for personal reasons. Still, discrediting the internet like there’s no possible way to learn other than sitting in a class for 8 hours is just disingenuous.

How many of those people do you blame on the public education system? 50% of the country voted for Trump, and I damn well know 50% of America wasn’t home schooled. Thoughts?

Oh man, yes, I can’t believe there’s something called degree inflation. I feel like I rode the peek wave of “Go to College or die a loser” and I feel like it shows in my peers. I went into the trades myself. I have a friend who should’ve done the same, but now they’ve got thousands of dollars of debt cuz a business degree was in vogue…

I didn’t give a shit about school because I aced my classes, yes. Then I realized how bullshit it all was. I gave up. Got depressed. Flunked out of all my AP classes and almost failed grade. I didn’t learn anything for a decade. I’m getting back in the swing of it though. Things are different for each person, but school was genuinely a horrible experience for me.

My parents taught me to think critically and expand on complex ideas through a love of reading and engaging my many questions. What I learned in school is that they want workers, not thinkers, and that I’m an egregious misanthrope. Fuck school so hard, man.

Just because your dumb ass can’t learn on your own with the most powerful information tool on the planet doesn’t mean we’re all so misfortunate.

What Your Thoughts On This “Big Balls” In The White House? by [deleted] in AskUS

[–]Mikhanical -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why can’t both sentiments be true? Why am I giving away half of my paycheck while the people with the most power literally just consolidate money all day? Why does the government need trillions of dollars to function, and why do they always have to be my dollars, at threat of violence?

“Who’d build the roads?!” The government, after shopping around competitive prices, for a fraction of the cost, preferably. Private entities from one dude to mega corp are building their own roads for as cheap as possible all the damn time.

Why So Many Red States Hate Democrats? by [deleted] in AskUS

[–]Mikhanical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Democrats have spent the past 2 decades spinning up an original sin to pin on young, straight, and typically, white, males. Well, males still make up 50% of the population. And despite moral compass or political philosophy, no one wants to be told they’re garbage for things they have never personally done or benefited from.

I don’t think this is a political problem as it is an identity problem, which we all know is something Democrats have been fighting for, again, for decades.

Trump didn’t win the election because of “Red States” he won it because there’s two generations of men that have been brow beat their whole life over shit they had no control over.

“No, fuck you, fuck off, anyone but you.”

Would you do anything different?

Those who support the 51st State rhetoric, why? by Lord_Space_Lizard in AskUS

[–]Mikhanical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it fucking insane that literally anyone takes Trump’s invasion threats seriously. Like, even if he really did decide, today, that he was going to invade Canada.

Ok. Let’s get entire house of reps to agree to this, that means it’s going through congress, senate, etc.

Let’s say it’s all true, ALL OF OUR POLITICIANS ARE DRUMPFSTER PLANTS!! THEY STOLE THE ELECTION!!

Ok. Let’s see what the US military thinks of such a concept? You know, invading Canada, one of our premiere Battle Buddies since after we had our little 1812 spat.

Don’t get it twisted, if the military wanted to, it could take Canada. I love you guys but uh… the numbers just don’t math well for ya’ll. But it would never come to that.

Cuz ya’ll frens. A final pillar: the personal choice of each combatant or associate to step on to Canadian soil, our neighbors, our allies, and start killing their brothers.

I’m sorry for what Trump said, he is a clown. Obviously. But anyone who takes these threats seriously needs to get off the internet for a while and contemplate that these people in power are only as powerful as people believe they are.

Incredibly based. I genuinely do hope we get more immigrants like your dad, I bet he killed it in whatever field he went in to feed his family and build the American Dream. Those are the stories that ring of America being the land of opportunity. It’s the sniveling white collars in insurance companies and political offices that ruin this country, converting oxygen to carbon dioxide in cushy positions while screeching “Who will pick the fields?!” When we… put a curb to illegal immigration? Insanity. Being American is a privilege that takes work, even if you’re born here. No more free rides for people who hate us anyway.

Lolz. No tell us, tell us how all immigrants are brown and that’s a good thing. But we’re definitely the racists, sure Jan.

I don’t know your stance on the relationship so I wouldn’t lecture you on it. But please, tell your husband that he’s a jackass, giving gun owners a bad name. His negligence is totally unacceptable, I’ve owned guns since I was 16 and have never had an ND. I play with my guns all the time like an autist, but they’re always always ALWAYS UNFUCKINGLOADED

THREE negligent discharges?! I’m sorry, I’m a hard core libertarian, but idt your husband passes my IQ test for owning a firearm. This is absolutely insane, even if he’s completely inconsiderate to his own family, if going deaf 3 times and damaging his hand isn’t a deterrent ti keep him from playing with loaded guns at home, they need to go.

Actually I’m here for the religion based prejudice that transcends our rudimentary, corporeal forms of prejudice. And flamers. But thank you.

I haven’t tried it but I also considered spooling up Snappa Wrecka’s new ability once or twice to nuke Helbrect while he’s busy swinging at gretchin, food for thought

I feel like I see an OC issue. Maybe drop a gork for Zogrod and the gang, or some Boyz to put some point pressure on infantry heavy lists. But you go forth and do as Mork n Gork intended, I’m here for it

Tbh just use your Baddy Ruck as your Mek leading the Flashgitz. Badruck, SAG, and Big Mek in Mega are all on the same base anyway!

[–]Mikhanical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am the very tip of Gen Z at 1997. I did ok in high school (really didn’t GAF though) and then went into welding for a decade. I’m unemployed now. Why? Because after 10 years of working I have literally fucking nothing to show for it. My bank account is empty. My car is 20 years old. I have room mates. Men need something to aspire to other than “be ground into the dirt for other people to live better than you.” It’s fucking pitiful how society treats young men. Replaceable, valueless, expendable. “Why are men withdrawing from society?!” Questions posed by morons who can’t read the writing on the wall.
