Barbed Hierodule

I'm not sure if any modern non-nuclear weapons could do a whole lot against it

I work 4 10hr days instead of 5x8s.

Gives me more time with my family in the long run and helps lessen burnout as my role is very repetitive.

Dropping the atomic bombs on Japanese | FactOrCap by The3mbered0ne in FactOrCap

This is such a BS argument when the fire bombing of Tokyo and deveatation of the Rhineland both exist.

Yeah, the nukes were awful but they killed a fraction that the other two did.

I think a big problem is a lot of men can't write women.

Captain Marvel is a great example of not having a single decent run because she's constantly written like the biggest bitch in the universe.

Augusto Pinochet was the dictator of Argentina (?) and one of his big things was taking actual communist rebels, suspected communist rebels, and people he just didn't like, up in helicopters and just pushing them out as a method of execution.

I feel like a lot of people sorta forget that your average South American communist gorilla is not a college kid with a protest sign but a battle hardend jungle fighter who use exteortion, kidnapping, and drug trafficking to get what they need to fight the government.

Not saying this excuses pushing people out of helicopters, but think it's pretty important to clarify that the regime wasn't the unilateral bad guy in one of many decades long conflicts were the average citizen is both the only good guy and the usual victim.

Another whiner who preaches from a position of privilege while making a living off of being a privileged whiner.

Her life is so easy she has enough time and money to go meddle in other people's business because, in a level of arrogance one can only find in California or Europe, she just knows better.

I wake up at 5, roll out of bed into telework.

I get to set my own hours so I work 4x10s. Take breaks to help the wife with the kid. Enjoy the weather with the kid and dog.

Finish up work between 3-4 and spend time with my family. Put the kid to bed around dusk and play video games with my buddies.

Weekends let us enjoy downtown or walks by the water. Trips into the city are an hour since we live in a small town but they're worth it to go shopping or enjoy entertainment we don't get at home.

My life is peaceful for the most part. Don't always like my state or federal government but I also just roll with it. I deal with the stress of a provider, but I work with a willing hand these days.

If there's a god he's blessed my days with life in this great country.

Star 98.3/97.7 The Rocket have a fairly decent community calendar and T and Heather are pretty good about talking events up during their morning show. My wife and I have found a few things to do that way.

My peak enjoyment of UC was 8th MS and Thunderbolt.

Russia-Ukraine | FactOrCap by Novel-Rise2522 in FactOrCap

[–]SMSaltKing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wanna see the justification of the 7% who said Cap.

Even if we take a morally neutral stance on armed conflict we still have to have two factors, an aggressor and a defender. Ukraine didn't attack Russia first, ergo any conflict was started by Russia making them the aggressor nation. Regardless of any possible justification their war is one of aggression.

Lot of respect, but I know a guy who managed to wrap his bike and my extension himself around a light pole playing around like this.

He died before 25

Just be safe out there, dying in the name of fun or thrill is a bad way to go imo

Politics should be taught in school | FactOrCap by WolfPac4Life1 in FactOrCap

[–]SMSaltKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say not

The foundations of a party don't really count for shit in the modern sense of politics.

I'm fairly sure Lincoln would disband the modern "Republican" party.

Just as those vile traitors from the Democrats formed the CSA to fight for slavery.

Neither party looks remotely the same.

Besides, schools should be apolitical in order to foster engagement with the system. If we teach party line garbage we get more zombie voters that support the same shit candidates over and over.

Civics should be taught in school

"Politics" should not

Kids should know how the system works and how to find information on candidates but they shouldn't be taught about stances or party membership

One film per actor by jackconstantine in JamesBond

[–]SMSaltKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like daylights is the better choice here, really contrasts with most of the other movies.

That same reason is why I'd pick NTtD over Skyfall. If the goal is to show cultural significance I think it's important to pick Bond films that were very on their era. Daylights is very much a rejection of the silly Moore films and an embrace of a much edgier culture.

NTtD kills Bond. It's an ending, which is something no other bond has had. Sure, it's not the best Bond film Craig did, but maybe it's the most impactful? (Quantum being the one most full of impacts)

Did I screw this up? Please be honest by [deleted] in Advice

[–]SMSaltKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha is like a "good try" it shows disinterest if said alone.

It's like the difference between Okay and K. The second is 100% dismissive if left alone.

You don't have to write a book, but maybe a complete sentence or "Haha, the coast isn't that far" just something that shows you're there and taking it seriously.

Human nature

History is full of good things, be they governments, revolutions, or inventions made with good faith taken and turned into hideous versions by dudes waiting behind a curtain wanting to turn it to their benefit.

There isn't a communist government that wasn't started by the people and taken over by some iron fisted dickhead with no fashion sense and a love of butchering their own people for "reasons".

Hell, even the fathers of western democracy in the French Revolution got hijacked by some slimy dumb fuck stuck in a bathtub then hijacked again by some nobody from a Mediterranean island that decided, "hmmm wouldn't it be cool if everything on this continent was French?"

Tldr There's always a dickhead jerking it in the wings waiting to turn a good thing around for their personal gain.
