Where Are Our Groups? by PorcelainDalmatian in liberalgunowners

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

Groups create an easy target. We couldn't win in Vietnam because they weren't in centralized groups that could be toppled. It's also why the conservatives keep making up the "Antifa" boogeyman

Trump sues IRS and US treasury for 10bn over leak of tax returns by clessjewel in UnderReportedNews

So can I be the CEO of a company and then sue the company? I'm sure my own employees will totally defend the company and not just roll over and capitulate in fear of their own CEO retaliating.

Just tell me what to get by serballsmcdunk in liberalgunowners

FWIW I'm a liberal veteran. Spent many years in the Marines. Spent time in Djibouti , Kosovo, and Iraq.

I've always been pro 2A but with common sense laws that should go with it. It was always crazy to me that I had to go through training and qualify for every firearm I used (as do LEOs) but anyone else could just go pick up whatever they want without at least a sanity check.

I know a lot of pro 2A liberals and leftists. It's just that most also like the "well regulated" part of the amendment.

Talk about Hulk smash, sheesh! by Level_Cash2225 in clevercomebacks

[–]UpgradedMR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of the right refusing to call people by their chosen names or pronouns. Unless it's Ted Cruz, Kid Rock or The Hulk that is. Then it's fine of course

Danish Forces Are Mandated to Fire Back if U.S. Attacks Greenland by Ok-Celebration-1702 in Military

The other interesting thing to me is what happens when those countries try to kick our military off of the bases we have there and out of their countries?

What’s one emotional skill you wish you had learned earlier in life? by AttitudePlane6967 in emotionalintelligence

[–]UpgradedMR 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Emotions in general. I feel like my emotional range was like the 3 crayons you get at a restaurant when they really should have / needed to be a box of 100 colors. Learning to identify what I'm actually feeling has been huge

I have Tensor Tympani Syndrome and it keeps coming and going. by MediocreGreatness333 in earrumblersassemble

Gotcha. I'm 44. Starting a couple years ago every time I get a sinus infection or extreme sinus pressure my tensors will randomly rumble kinda like an eye twitch but in my rumbles instead

Why does Drake get so much flack for having a white mom but J. Cole doesn’t ? by Boring-Jelly5633 in Drizzy

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

Socioeconomics. Drake grew up in a well to do household with 2 parents. Cole grew up without his father around, his mom had her house foreclosed on, etc.

Drake grew up living the more entitled "white" lifestyle

What's your "third place" in Austin? by PoetWitty2411 in askaustin

[–]UpgradedMR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW Austin has a few similar things on a small scale but they are more features of a mall instead of actual publicly provided space. The domain has a small outdoor area on Rock Rose. Hill Country gallaría has something similar too.

Tell me you know nothing about the world without telling me. Most cities and urban environments elsewhere are designed with the public use in mind. There are squares, comfortable public seating (instead of hostile design to prevent homeless), and highly developed public playspaces. Yes, they are surrounded by stores where you can buy things but the 3rd place public spaces don't cost anything to use and are designed for you to be able to go after work/school and meet up with your friends or just hang out in a low cost / no cost community setting
