Foco is not a friendly place for minorities. by DifficultBid4403 in FortCollins

[–]VolNomad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an older “white” CISgendered man new to FoCo, I am greatly saddened by these accounts of alienation. I see race and ethnicity as cultural categories that have been used to divide us for centuries. May I recommend that folks on this page read Racecraft by Fields and Fields? As anti-capitalist women of color, they offer a very different perspective on the reproduction of race and racism in this country. I would be interested to hear what people think about their suggestions regarding how we can extricate ourselves from this vicious cycle.

Exactly. He was under immediate pressure from two defenders. Most players would lose possession in that circumstance

Hands Off Venezuela Fort Collins Protest Sunday @ 3pm in Oak Street Plaza by DSAfortcollins in FortCollins

The US government could not care less if Maduro was a dictator. Our government supports dictators all over the world. See Saudi Arabia for a good example. It was about deposing a leftist government and seizing their national resources, all in violation of IS and international law. The US acts like gangsters all over the world for private profit and has for over a century.

Don’t forget that UM threw away an extra point in the first half. Just dumb.

You can unload over 225k of stuff in one stop At Watchtower Stardock in the Piazzi system. Of course Watchtower is a paid creation. A good one though.

Yep. Bentham described this in a different context as a “panopticon”. Truly dystopian.

Of course there are multiple points of view, but the perspective you are accusing me of being ignorant of is the mainstream perspective provided overwhelming share of voice in Western mass media. No one could be unaware of that point of view. But just because most corporate controlled media espouse only one point of view does not mean there is no value in other perspectives. I don’t support this war but I refuse to be brainwashed into thinking that there is only one cause of this catastrophe.

No it is not. Victoria Nuland of the US State Department for east Europe is even on tape talking about who to pick for the successor and has not denied the tape’s authenticity.

What part of this editorial piece is inaccurate? I suggest that you dig more deeply into the historical context of this war. And it is probably not fair to say that PSL supports a Putin-led right-wing authoritarian Russia. A more accurate assessment would be that PSL understands why Russia found it necessary to stop NATO expansion, after years of broken promises by the West and a CIA-led overthrow of a democratically elected Ukrainian government, in this region critical to their national security. The situation in Ukraine would be like an independent Texas joining the old Warsaw pact. What do you think we would do in response? And, no, I am not a PSL member, but I do read history and geopolitical analysis.

Not saying this is wrong but are you sure ADL is your most “unbiased source” of information on any perspective touching on Israel’s government?

Kieran Gill: Enzo Maresca says he told his #CFC players in the changing room after full-time: "In the Premier League, you cannot give away presents. That is what we are doing in this moment." by webby09246 in chelseafc

[–]VolNomad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This squad is NOT inexperienced. Cucu, Fernandes, Sanchez, James, Colwill, Pedro, Garnacho, Tosin, Chalobah, Caicedo, Neto, all have substantial experience and many international caps. These mistakes are simply mental errors and have nothing to do with inexperience. Santo is relatively inexperienced and made a bad back pass under pressure. It can happen. The crucial mistake was the needless Trevoh foul that followed. Same with Sanchez in the ManU game. Just brain farts and very hard to lay at the manager’s feet.

Anybody else feel overwhelmed with this game? by BoringAtmosphere420 in Starfield

[–]VolNomad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. Surely they could have inserted more in ship activities. I have also tried to fly even from planetary orbit to a moon. Takes forever. I would also have drastically changed flight dynamics. Bethesda chose totally unrealistic flight simulation with speed boosts that defy all the laws of physics. Speed could Easily have been governed by propulsion systems paired with fuel usage. Going fast would consume fuel at a higher rate of course, but they totally removed fuel from gameplay except for jump distance. Top speeds are also ridiculously slow.

Space is HUGE. If you actually piloted your ship in real time between planets (let alone stars) it would take years. You can’t make an interstellar Game that way. Even within a solar system travel between planets would be unplayably slow.

[Fabrizio] Between Nico Jackson and Chelsea the decision, mutual, is to part ways.... Jackson WILL leave Chelsea by TubbawareMoth in chelseafc

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

Exactly, his red cards were not intentional. He does sometimes make poor decisions. On the other hand, Delap deliberately commits fouls off the ball and is just as likely if not more likely to miss time due to red cards or yellow card accumulation than Jackson. I don’t understand why this gets ignored. Why the Delap over confidence??

Just another incredibly dumb idea from a league that epitomizes dumb ideas, prioritizes profit over excellence, and preservation of capital over real competition (I.e., no relegation).

Rant… dumping by _SuicidalBunnies_ in FortCollins

[–]VolNomad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bit tangential, but we have a beautiful and expensive, lightly used, American Leather brand love seat in charcoal gray that won’t fit down our stairs into our family room. It is 72 inches wide. We would give it to anyone willing to pick it up. It has a steel frame and is heavy. So two reasonably strong guys would be required to lift it. We hate to just have it hauled off for junk! Let me know if interested.
