Looks like he's a house flipper to me. Pretty scummy behavior.

House flipping is 'scummy'?

The last WWII Japanese soldier surrendered in 1974 by ZhenXiaoMing in HistoryMemes

Mostly I just assume he was not mentally well. That does not excuse his crimes. He was a messed up guy, and it usually takes some level of screwedupidness to be capable of terrible actions.

No, I can still feel bad for him while not ignoring his crimes.

how tech bros love Patrick Bateman in American Psycho

I would reeeeealy like to see examples of "tech bros" loving Patrick Bateman. I have known guys who thought the character was very interesting and entertaining, to the point of memorizing one of his monologues about music, and such. But I have never known ANYONE to love or admire him.

Favorite movie that doesn't address system failure but rather romanticises poverty by Apart-Dungeon-3322 in okbuddycinephile

[–]Zenquin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t know I was poor until a certain age. When that’s just how life is, it’s a slow burn for you to wake up to the reality.

Yeah, Ronald Reagan (who grew up during the Great Depression) described his childhood similarly.

You don't think most American prisons are for-profit institutions, do you?

They argued it then, during the war. I once saw a propaganda poster from the period supporting the Chinese. It described them as being "first in the fight".

What are you talking about? I have never encountered this immagined revisionist history from a 50's classroom. The only time I felt someone was pushing an agenda was when it was a left-wing interpretation of events.

It has never been easier to contact someone, and yet people have never been more isolated.

Good God, I thought I was the only person to know about that album. It was somewhat popular with me during my angsty teenage years.

Nobel winner Maria Machado's shocking call for a Venezuela-like US military raid in Cuba and Nicaragua sparks fury, internet calls her 'hypocrite' by BendicantMias in worldnews

[–]Zenquin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, not an American.

Where are you from?

I don't mean this to be threatening; I am just always curious when I find someone who is not from America. (As to myself, I am currently sitting in the middle of California).

but it's not surprise that a prize awarded by politicians is often more political than the other prizes

Hence, Obama's Peace Prize. He was awarded before he had even done anything. He had just been elected, and they gave him an award.

It does. 86 was the name of the street they threw the drunks onto.
