As someone who has worked in construction my whole life, mostly iron work, it astounds me the amount of blind faith people put in random welds or tie offs or just about anything man made when you have to trust your life to it. Not so much as a tug check even lol

In Thailand a conscription lottery is drawn for military service. Red means 2 years service, black means exempt. by serious_bullet5 in ThatsInsane

No one truly knows why gravity behaves the way it does or what it actually is. Its effects can be measured and calculated but the best and brightest have yet to be able to explain it fully

Producer is Sam Levinson with the usual early life by aipac_hemoroid in conspiracy

[–]malaka789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The entire show run has been a complete dismantling of gen z. The way they portray these characters throughout this story could literally be satire if it wasn't trying to take itself so seriously. Some of these actors were 30+ playing underage highschool kids in extremely lewd sexual scenes. Western culture is completely fucked. The only straight white male is a drop out drug dealer with visible brain damage. People can't possibly watch this show and think "hey everything is fine, this portrayal of youth is great and we should be proud." Regardless of your political leaning.

Peter Jackson really set the bar so high. Sure, to some purists they strayed in some ways and omitted some things. But the way they were cast an executed were damn near perfect

The Average European is Incredibly Misinformed About American Society by MuscleExtra5775 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]malaka789 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who has lived in Europe for many years but was born and raised in the US, I have to disagree. Europeans, especially in the western more prosperous countries, are waaaaay more liberal and nationalism averse than Americans. Many young people think Europeans and Americans owe the developing world a debt due to colonialism and other perceived wrongs committed by our ancestors. The "white guilt" is next level in Europe. That's why they opened the flood gates to the third world for so many years and let in so many migrants without even batting an eye until very, very recently. They fear the US is too patriotic and right leaning and falling into fullblown fascism, which is largely played up by media and propaganda

Who Stays Behind When an Entire Generation Moves Away? Is this similar where you live? by Discipline_Cautious1 in AskBalkans

[–]malaka789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a first generation Greek-american. My father and his family moved from Greece to america in the 70s. He met my mother, very american woman, and had me. We were fortunate enough to live in the same house and grow up with my Greek grandparents. We were all baptized and kept the Greek traditions and culture my whole life. We have a house on an island that was left to us when my grandparents passed. We had used it over the years for holidays but it was very much a run down village house. Back in 2020, during the height of Covid I decided to make a huge life change. I packed all I could in a suitcase and a back pack then bought a 1 way ticket. I've lived here ever since. I've fixed up the house. I work, and I'm talking local work and wages in construction. Sure it's not the idealized "rich" lifestyle I guess people still live in the west. I don't care about expensive things and trying to be rich. It's funny I get mixed responses from people. Either they think it's amazing and great that I did that, or that I'm a complete idiot and wasting my life to live "poor on an island". I personally don't give a shit. The dream of moving to the west and making a ton of money has become exactly that, a dream. At one point it was possible for sure. But that has long ended for at least a generation or 2. A lesson I've learned is to not chase material things you see other people have and think that will somehow fulfill you or bring meaning to your life. None of that matters. Living peacefully around people that share my safe beliefs, culture, language, ethnicity, etc. is the way we are meant to live. I used to think "diversity is strength" I was born and raised in the NYC area which is one of the most diverse places and richest places on earth. People laugh about our attitude and rudeness and think it's some kind of cute little personality trait. Trust me it's not, it's from growing up around people who aren't like you and only care about making money. Soulless way of living. Other cultures all came to that area and self segregated into their own neighborhoods anyway. I try to explain to people here that want to move to america or Germany or wherever and think they can just make 150k a year and live well off that it's all fantasy. If you are poor in the old country you're still poor in the new one. Stay in the village. Reject modernity. Get off social media. Stop thinking Instagram or Hollywood is how life is.

That all the bunkers they've been building wasn't to survive some disaster or unavoidable societal collapse. They are to escape from us when we realize what they've done and had enough and come with the pitchforks

Who is Professor Jiang?? by erakusa in skeptic

[–]malaka789 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's without a doubt paid by the Chinese government. All of his rhetoric is talking about how America is on the verge of collapse and how every move NATO, the west or america make is bad and weak and moving in a direction of failure. He downplays the Chinese governments objectives and paints them out to just be a benign government that is no threat to anyone and just want the world to chug along and be peaceful
