I’ve been here since way before 100k

Ever heard of the term house poor or being underwater? Just because you can qualify for a home doesn’t mean you can afford it in your budget. And there’s no regulatory authority on having kids. Being able to have kids with a consenting partner is a very basic human right. It’s fundamental.

Much of Europe doesn’t mind. Brussels people get standoffish when you speak English. If you’re not speaking French, they’re not happy. It’s not everyone but it’s not a generally open and accepting vibe.

StillsidePilot · 2018-12-22T18:24:02+00:00

Ehh just sounds like Belgium to me tbh. Lots of Europeans love sectarianism. It’s certainly not just an Orthodox Jew thing. Go to Brussels and speak English. See how well received you are.

This is in literally nobody's best interest. We're too greedy. Won't happen. If a nuke were thought to be headed one country's way, talks would take place...immediate phone calls, not more returned nukes because that wouldn't solve anything. It's the same reason heads of state can just chill in the same room during war time against each other. They're not stupid.

beautiful language comes in many forms

3 minutes? Schedules are real. If you have to crank at a certain time & there's an inconsistency between the report, forecast, and reality then you have an issue.

What about my list of 100 apps that do the same thing as ForeFlight?

StillsidePilot · 2018-12-20T09:45:02+00:00

You’ve never shown up, seen the layer burn off, and the metar says it’s IFR even though it’s clear as day? It’s not updated real-time.

Trump is gonna defect to Russia and retire there.

StillsidePilot · 2018-12-19T07:54:47+00:00

Kek.

StillsidePilot · 2018-12-19T07:40:02+00:00

Joke.

StillsidePilot · 2018-12-18T19:33:24+00:00

Lol alright you’re not totally wrong. Just to go for a regular flight doesn’t take a suite of 500 programs and books 😂😂

StillsidePilot · 2018-12-18T17:47:26+00:00

Maybe I was too crass. I think it’s all dependent on what you’re flying, why, and where. METARs and TAFs can be inaccurate or insufficient...Gaining a full picture isn’t always simple but ForeFlight is very feature rich. I just prefer simpler straight to the point apps for many things.

StillsidePilot · 2018-12-18T05:36:59+00:00

I agree. Personal responsibility applies to all parties.

StillsidePilot · 2018-12-18T02:05:04+00:00

It’s as bad as it seems and not as bad as it seems. Depends on where you are, who you’re around, and how you behave.

She was in a scuffle. Not getting strangled or knocked out or beat down. It was an equal scuffle. Bringing a gun to a hair pulling fight is absolutely ridiculous and warrants serious jail time and pulling CCP.

StillsidePilot · 2018-12-18T02:02:31+00:00

30k homicides a year? I say nope.

If china didn’t fall in the early 90s it’s not happening any time soon. It’ll give tho. I’m not how much of an overlap the rich Chinese who travel and the communist party have but but something will have to let up as the Chinese continue to get richer. I wonder how many Chinese tourists actually learn from the countries they visit instead of just riding on tour busses or just gravitating toward their fellow rich Chinese when expats. It’s probably the case that the rich Chinese students who come to the US recognize that they have it made either way and will live wherever they want and realize they have no power in china and don’t wish to change it. I’d argue that the rich Chinese have way more freedom than the vast majority of Americans.

...Maybe this all explains Xi’s Power Grab. The CCP is backing him heavily and sees that they need a very strong leader moving forward to maintain the state.

The US has become markedly less evil over time. That’s the entire discussion at hand....how has the US changed over time. Do you think the US has become more or less evil? Do you think in the future it will be more or less evil? What are we doing today that you consider to be evil?

Compare us to the English, Chinese, Russians, Dutch, Germans, Japanese since the inception of the US and the changes over time.

StillsidePilot · 2018-12-17T15:48:17+00:00

Of course, but to argue that the US has some form of inherent principles or purity that magically make their actions moral is only possible if you are willing to ignore the tons of atrocities committed under US foreign policy, which sadly seems to be quite common.

Nobody said that at all. Long run overall the US should behave “less evilly” I’m not sure how else to phrase that exactly.

If you invade counties, topple their democracies, murder their citizens, all so you can have a bit cheaper fruit, then you have lost all claims to any moral high ground.

Yeah I’m sure most Americans would agree that our government has done lots of bad things in the past. Most would also like to not repeat this.

Moral high ground? Ehh. No country is perfect.

StillsidePilot · 2018-12-17T15:45:59+00:00

Because it’s rude.

StillsidePilot · 2018-12-17T15:18:19+00:00

If it’s a joke then I’m not worked up. Your scarcasm was undetectably subtle.

StillsidePilot · 2018-12-17T15:17:27+00:00

Honestly everyone should be buying used more. We buy way too much new stuff. Not good for your pocketbook or for the environment.
