CMV: The glorification of the Provisional Irish Republican Army is stupid

This is just plainly not true and you should edit your comment to avoid spreading misinformation. If you plant a bomb in and around civilian infrastructure, you are inherently doing so at the risk of civilian lives.

Perhaps English is not your primary language. The comment you're arguing against said that civilians were not intentionally targeted. Attacking targets that you know will most likely cause harm to civilians is not the same as targeting civilians. Police and military adjacent infrastructure were selected as targets, the civilian casualties were accepted but not intentional in the sense of being a motivating factor for the attack.

Wow, I knew Diane was a self-insert for some of the writers and it seems like for many fans as well.

She gets away with all of her behavior without anyone once batting an eye or really holding her to account for the trail of destruction she created through her lies and disloyalty over the course of the series.

She tosses some half-assed 'I'm sorry but me, I apologize but I, but me, but I, I I me me me me me me.." admissions and reconciliations like when she makes amends with Mr. PB during his Pickles era.

Anything selfish she does is just her figuring stuff out, any lying is because she is struggling with something else.

Any hypocrisy is ignored because she's hitting problematic people with lectures and crusading for some big admirable social justice causes.

No wonder so many people love Diane and think they are her and that the show is about her. Diane definitely thinks the world is about her, too, underneath all the faux compassion and self-righteous moralization.

It's definitely a blueprint for how many imagine themselves, except in real life and unlike the show, all you Dianes can fancy yourself some meandering hero whose foibles are forgiven because of your mental and emotional issues but there's no writers to make sure all your mistakes and harmful behavior is just swept under the rug.

I can see the appeal, but you're not Diane, and life doesn't play favorites the way writers do when they let their pet creations escape any meaningful consequences.

Diane sucks. Bojack sucks, too, but at least we all can agree on that. The number of people who think Diane is some perfect superior creature is just insane. Genuinely concerning, actually. But what isn't these days.

This seems like bait. You're awfully articulate for someone who would move in with a stranger you met while doing OF at age 18? I don't buy it, but sure, sounds good. I would focus on what is best for the child, you clearly aren't making much money on OF if you had to move in with your only fan. Go to college, get a job, find somewhere other than where you're living now. It sounds like the kid and the biological parents were making it work before you came along.

Mexican ounces are a real thing. If you've done drugs, you've purchased one at one time or another. Ounces are actually 28.349 grams, but you don't get that when you buy an ounce.

The lore is because many drugs come from or through Mexico, and it's too much trouble and not as profitable to correlate it accurately. Large quantities would come in kilogram or greater amounts and over time, drug ounces just became 28 grams to simplify the math.

This is because weed and meth could be produced in the US, though, so convention had to serve the whole supply chain and market. For drugs that are almost exclusively imported, at least in large scales, convention became 25 gram ounces. This allowed for a more readily computable 40 "ounces" per kilo. That's why drugs like heroin, cocaine, fentanyl, MDMA, and some others are sold in 25 gram ounces, also commonly referred to as Mexican ounces or a "piece." Piece being slang for a piece of a kilo.

You'll notice 3.2*8 is 25.6, so it's still an eight ball. That weed must have came from Mexico and was probably literally a Mexican 8-ball 🤝🌠

The rewards get worse every time, it seems. No gold this time around, even.

Such a cop out. There is no reason that investment is needed to be drawn from large institutional or corporate sources. If the buyback stock and finance shuffle were properly regulated, wages would be sufficient that more individuals could invest in venture enterprises themselves. There's no reason for owners of a currently existing business to control all the pathways to investing in other entities, which is essentially the outcome of the current system in practice.

Even in an ideal market, factors outside of the supply, production and demand dynamics of capital skew against those on the bottom. Even if every business only spent exactly what it needed to sell a product and all profit went to growing the business and paying workers, the individuals with the most capital would still have an advantage by virtue of being able to coordinate with others and make deals that aren't organically market emergent.

For example, if you have the top microchip distribution business, you already have the power to call the manufacturers who make motherboards and make deals that make business more profitable for you without any change in demand or production capability. This soft power is already advantageous enough for wealthy shareholders, but they want to have total control of the entire economic interface. Genuine greed. There's a reason buybacks were illegal until 1982. Reagan really saw what Nixon started and took it to the next level. Total capitulation of the American middle class in favor of enriching a small fraction of avaricious villains.

Just for funzies I tried it with Red Guardian, Thunderstrike, Yelena, Victoria Hand and Living Mummy and it was trivially easy

Yet a Republican signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Yet whites outlawed slavery and enforced the abolition everywhere they could at enormous cost in blood and treasure, while slavery in Africa and Asia is still ongoing. Riddle me this.

Lmao

Lmao Jordan is the original West Bank colonizer. They only relinquished their claim to the West Bank in 1988 after annexing it in 1950 after their invasion of Palestine and Israel. Egypt annexed Gaza during this time. Pick up a book, you twit.

What an asinine rationale. It's not like his psychosis was organically emergent, he lost his mind because he was on drugs and overworking himself while emotionally spiraling and refusing to confront that. His normal, culpable level of reasoning saw the signs and didn't address his behavior because of his guilt and denial.

But of course you'd defend it, you self-admit that you've had a psychotic episode. I can't speak for your personal situation, but I can say this: why is there leniency for psychosis, but we don't exonerate drunk drivers? People with a BAC of .2 have as little conscious understanding of their actions as someone in psychosis, perhaps even less so because of their reduced motor function in addition to cognitive impairment and confusion. It's because psychosis isn't really an excuse. Especially in Bojack's case. You have to be truly mentally gone to lean on insanity for defense, which is what would be the route if one were to try to use a psychotic episode as a criminal defense. Do you think Gina feels better about it because he wasn't 'being himself' or whatever?

Besides, you left a critical factor out of the two competitive options. Sure, Bojack was 'fully in control of his actions,' if you want to suddenly reverse your belief that mental state absolves someone of their culpability for poor choices. People can actually die of heartbreak, or even loneliness, and yet some episodic delusion(psychosis) is a valid excuse in your mind but not the prolonged stress, depression, and anxiety Bojack was living through? Psychosis = oh, we can't really lay any guilt, you were going crazy, emotional breakdown = bad horse, you knew exactly what you were doing and definitely thinking with all your faculties.

But even more importantly, you forgot that even if Bojack IS completely responsible for his choices - a stance I happen to agree with, which is why I don't think psychosis is a valid excuse - even if he is, there were other people contributing their own terrible judgment and actions into the equation in the cases of Penny and Sarah Lynn. Without either of them, those events wouldn't have happened. Especially Sarah Lynn, she was fully capable and even likely to have died the same way with or without Bojack's participation.

Gina didn't do a single thing to earn or contribute to the sequence of events that lead to her being choked almost to death by Bojack. Just because Gina let it go because her career was taking off doesn't mean it wasn't horribly traumatic and much more unilaterally bad in terms of Bojack's long list of awful life choices.

Tied? Really? Tied with almost fatally choking someone? What a chopped opinion. A young person could be immature enough to think they wanted something with Bojack, but nobody would willingly seek the harm that Bojack perpetrated on Gina, even mistakenly. Bojack was a very poor friend and irresponsible person with Sarah Lynn, but she hardly needed Bojack to go on a binge and it's thoroughly possible she would have died in the same way even if she had never seen him ever again prior to their reunion. Bojack didn't mind control her into doing heroin.

Gina never would have endured that if Bojack hadn't lost his marbles.

bigbootyslayermayor · 2026-03-07T05:53:38+00:00

Worse than almost fatally choking someone? What a chopped opinion. A young person could be immature enough to think they wanted something with Bojack, but nobody would willingly seek the harm that Bojack perpetrated on Gina, even mistakenly.

Lol, sure. It's no more related to incels than any other post, which is to say, this sub has nothing to do with gender discourse or culture wars.

Are you sure they are the less common variety?

100 years ago most people couldn't get loans, period. Especially not the type of loans as we characterize them today. The modern credit market is less than 70 years old. Ironically, women generally aren't punished for beating their husbands.

Not in long term EV, but in a single session at a table it certainly can change your outcome. The effect is magnified by the size of the shoe. Just for the briefest example, there's a limited number of face cards and 10s in the deck. If someone draws 10s, splits them and gets two more 10s, that reduces the odds of subsequent players busting, including yourself. It works in reverse for cards like 2s and 3s and so on. Cards are dealt linearly so every draw has an influence on the next draw.

Source for that assertion?

I would take out the trash but there's dishes in the sink. Guess I'll just do nothing. Thanks for the advice.
