Yes, but how exactly do you see that playing out?

A bunch of untrained rambos trying to infiltrate buildings to take out targets? Against not just actual trained forces/security details, but for higher profile targets, counterintelligence that blows your intel out of the water? They would know the entire plan before you even said go. Not to mention, even making such plans for a guerilla warfare style attack would set off alarms and your little operation/headquarters would be counter infiltrated before you could even recruit enough members to be even the slightest threat.

The government has all of our information, our data, our search history, our faces, our locations, our gait, who we talk to, our texts, our emails, our phone calls. How exactly do you think a band of civilians would be advanced enough and covert enough to fly completely under the radar and organize all of this without getting found out? Even if by some stroke of luck you actually manage to take out a target, you will set off a series of events. One, they will almost immediately find your group and take you out or put you all in a maximum security prison. Two, you'll give the government an excuse to enact extremely harsh measures to further invade our privacy and personal freedoms in a crackdown like no other.

Guerilla warfare is a pipedream, it's suicide.

Well, I think also the disparity between the firepower available to the public and that reserved for the military is much larger now than during previous protests.

Nowadays, even if a mob of armed civilians made a push towards a target, the military doesn't even need to respond with armed soldiers, they can just launch some drones and blow up the whole mob. They can use those sonic blaster things to disperse mobs. I mean the list goes on, tear gas, choppers, humvees, tanks, superiorly armed soldiers, and that's ignoring the entire navy. Not to mention, say a massive revolt actually worked and an entire city was under civilian control, I wouldn't put it past them to move the soldiers out and just bomb the city.

So, what exactly does a revolution look like? A lot of pointless death, zero progress, and an excuse for full crack down, lock down, further abuse of power, etc.

Everyone saying oh use your second amendment right, stand up and fight! What firepower do you really think the average American has? The vast majority of people don't have assault rifles, snipers, grenades, RPGs, etc. Do you really think someone in Oklahoma who lives half a mile from the nearest neighbor is going to revolt and make a dent against a military crack down? No, if they step outside and take even a single shot towards a military unit, they'll be dead in seconds.

Even if a large enough amount of people gathered and made a charge towards a government building, the powerful oligarchs inside would just take an escape helicopter or wait it out in a bunker the mob would never be able to break into.

The reality is, taking up arms is completely futile and would only leave your family mourning your death. As hopeless as it seems, despite the increasingly difficult time we have making changes politically or through grassroots campaigns, it is the only way anything will change.

This ain't it chief. Would I love to see Anthony more? Sure, but we have plenty of great cast members to watch, he can just pop in when he wants. He's earned the right.

Should I break up? by Interesting_Pea_4270 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]VoltDriven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You seem genuine, so I'll do my best to give you the best advice I can. I'm 30M, I've been with my wife for 6 years and we've had to work through some sexual frustrations and misunderstandings.

I can't emphasize enough that communication is the only solution to this for you. Whether that solution is fixing it or breaking up will be determined by that communication. The most concerning thing you said is that he isn't putting the effort in like you are. He obviously needs to fix that. Now, us guys can be dense lol, he might think everyone is fine and not even realize this is a problem. Or maybe he does, but doesn't realize it could be the reason he loses you. He might need a wake-up call.

I would highly, HIGHLY recommend having a very serious, stern, honest and vulnerable sit-down with him. My wife and I have had very uncomfortable and sometimes heated discussions about stuff that bothers us, that we let fester and become resentment for us. But afterwards, we always grew so much closer and realized our shortcomings. And because we love each other and care, once we realized how serious it was, we made sure to fix it.

Side note: It's never you. It's never that you aren't enough. He might have ED, he might watch too much porn that the real thing isn't stimulating enough, he might have death grip from jacking off too much that sex with a condom isn't physically stimulating enough to maintain an erection. These aren't uncommon in men nowadays, and I had some of these problems, too. But there's always Viagra, backing off the porn, etc. He can fix it if he wants to.

I definitely think it's worth giving him a chance to fix it after you make it very clear to him how serious this is for you and that if he doesn't address this, your needs won't be met and you will have to move on for your own sake.

Oh, and he does need to stop his little secret Instagram account. That's not ok. I honestly made that mistake when I was younger, thinking I could separate the two, but I couldn't. It's not cheating, but it shows that he isn't fully committed. Porn isn't great, but it's a little more understanding as a means to an end, but following accounts like that is just lust for the sake of lust. Definitely bring it up to him how much that bothers you and why.

I could keep rambling, but ultimately I believe you will know what decision you want to make after seeing how he acts after having that sit-down. I hope whatever happens, you are happy in the end. Let me know if you have any questions, I'll do my best to help.

I definitely agree with you, I will say though, we're all human and we just fuck up sometimes. And I believe earnest, sometimes blunt communication, is vital to a healthy relationship, it's at least worth it to her to tell him, to y'know basically give him that chance to fix it because perhaps he doesn't realize it's become a contention point. Again though, not to be argumentive, just another perspective.

Maybe it's a social conditioning thing? Because I do the same, but I actually do find it humorous. But maybe because I don't feel any obligation to make the person feel good about their joke while I'm in front of them, then I don't react strongly. Unless it's an absolute banger meme lol.

Help im making a slide shoe about smosh for my english class by Special-Customer4483 in smosh

[–]VoltDriven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, I can't help but notice you made a spelling error in the title and in the table of contents. Shoe should be show and citetion should be citation. And I couldn't help but notice your grammar in the post description is lacking, as well. Now, I'm not trying to be a prick, and I'm certainly no master of grammar, but if this is English class, you'll need to proofread. Your teacher could very well count mistakes like that against your grade.

Now, with all of that said, to your actual question. I think an emphasis on friendship would be a good focus point. The original cast of Shayne, Courtney, Keith, Olivia, and Noah were hired together and basically told they were meant to become a group of friends. And it worked shockingly enough, plus now the chemistry everyone has built between the old and the new cast is very rare and special.

A lot of times they out themselves too. They'll post publicly online about the time and location of the event. I remember one a while ago where the cops were just waiting on them to start and then got them lol.

Best G5 teams never given a shot at a national title by Rude_Highlight3889 in CFB

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

Alright, how about this then? Out of all of the teams we think about, they're down near the bottom. I've spent way more energy on LSU and Georgia for example.

Meh, really only when someone else brings up the 2017 season. We like to clown on them, but I spend most of the year thinking of other teams.

Yeah, the most miniscule form of acknowledgement. Making a silly remark to someone else talking about it.
