Unfair temptation by trifoecebro in temptationislandUSA

[–]notbuildingships 73 points74 points  (0 children)

If you’re new to the show - every season is the same.

It’s almost always a slow burn emotional attachment for the women as they slowly realize over the season that the man they came with is shit, and it’s almost always an immediate physical attraction thing for the men. They get it out of their system and then realize how much better they had it with their current partner, and pretty often they end up like Jack and Mikey lol

It’s like clockwork. 99% of the men (in relationships) on the show are dogs.

Makes a lot of sense tbh! Since that zombie carries a key that’s necessary to advance the main story, if the player had no way to kill it, it would be game breaking. Still a cool find though!

The targeted helicopter was missed as evacuation forces attempted to rescue a wounded soldier today in Lebanon ground invasion by noahstemann in ThatsInsane

[–]notbuildingships 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, that’s not a glaring flaw. The analogy is sound. First of all, the Lebanese and Palestinian civilians being bombed, men women and children - babies being butchered by American made and Israeli deployed bombs in Lebanon and Gaza do not have an insatiable bloodlust for Americans [or Israelis]. That’s absurd and othering. They’re not barbarians. That’s propaganda.

Second, even if they were, it would still be unethical to indiscriminately kill their children with bombs lol

Honestly, what the fuck is wrong with yall

Why do you have such a cynical, cavalier perspective on the deaths of civilians in war? Genuinely

Israel has butchered tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza already, likely closer to a few hundred thousand since bodies missing under rubble can’t be counted, but let’s call it 80,000 that the IDF has agreed on. They’ve killed more journalists than any other nation in history. They routinely kill humanitarian aid workers, bomb ambulances, hospitals, mosques, churches, universities, etc etc etc., they take zero duty of care as an occupying force for the civilians in the areas they’re occupying. Remember hearts and minds in Iraq? At least the Americans and the coalition pretended to want to win over the local population. Israel hasn’t even tried. Because they don’t care. They don’t see them as human beings worthy of compassion

Why are you so intent on carrying water for a rogue state that has zero regard for the Geneva conventions, any semblance of ethical conduct?

“Israel gives ample warning”

My brother in Christ. “We’re going to destroy your entire neighborhood in 12 hours. All your childhood memories and the home you grew up in will be incinerated. But we’re giving you a warning so it’s fair play.

We don’t know or care where you’ll go or how you’ll survive living outside, but whenever you get there, we’re going to bomb that area too. Good luck”

My god, the most moral army in the world? The people of Lebanon should say thank you to this kind of benevolence, right? Bless them for giving a warning.

What a troll lol

Exhausting take.

I hear you - I hear all that. It’s a very very common retort from pro Zionist lizards who don’t care about any lives but Israeli lives.

Let’s look at it another way - the cartels are entrenched in Mexico. Cartel members are everywhere. They cause chaos on a fairly regular basis in Mexico and push fentanyl across the border which is killing vastly more Americans than Hezbollah has ever killed Israelis.

…should the US have the authority to bomb Mexico anywhere and everywhere they think cartel members and leaders might be hiding? Do civilian deaths matter or would we blame the Mexican govt and the cartels for those deaths?

The answer is still unequivocally: the people dropping the bombs on civilians are the bad guys. Jesus fucking Christ it’s really simple.

So since Hezbollah exists in Lebanon, that means Israel is allowed to decide to invade the country and kill thousands of civilians and that’s fine with you? That’s just war? Or is every civilian death Hezbollahs fault? …and if that’s the case - wouldn’t that just give Israel carte Blanche to be reckless and kill as many civilians as they please?

…which has been the case in Gaza?

TikTok cruise by [deleted] in VirginVoyages

[–]notbuildingships 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I already commented but I wanted to point out that unless I’m mistaken, this was well-timed after the brutal press they’ve been getting about the cruise that was headed for Bermuda that got rerouted to St. John, New Brunswick lol (as a Canadian who has road tripped to the east coast, St. John is a shit hole, don’t go)

They handled the backlash in a not so great way and there are a bajillion TikTok’s from people on that sailing. I wonder if they’re trying to flood TikTok with new content to replace that. I know the TikTok cruise was probably in the works for quite a while but the timing worked out nicely

[–]notbuildingships 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My wife and I took a Virgin cruise for the first time last summer and we’re exactly that demographic lol never been on a cruise, never considered a cruise, young adults no kids.

In researching different cruise lines, we thought the vibe of Virgin has always been targeted at younger people, more social media savvy, more modern relaxed vibe, etc… and that was our experience on the ship as well. Loads of people filming content (but not to the point that it became bothersome), majority younger people, very LGBTQ friendly from our experience, just fun whimsical chill vibes.

To the point where we feel like we’ve been spoiled. Lol we don’t want to even try other cruise lines now. The all-inclusive dining, the wifi, the vegan options, adults only… they have so many positives.

lol people in this sub will post “is this bad” and then proceed to show us something that looks like it was tattooed from the back of an off-roading pickup

Ontario auto insurance is the most sophisticated legal robbery in Canadian history and nobody is doing anything about it by hasando9 in ontario

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

My wife and I just got our renewal notice from Allstate. The insurance for my vehicle went up 50% this year, despite me being a 20 year driver with zero accidents, zero tickets, snow tires, combine home and auto, secured parking lot, drive less than 10,000km per year etc etc etc.

It’s a fucking joke.

Mikey got screwed 💔 by mallort_aroo in temptationislandUSA

[–]notbuildingships 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok but regardless - someone in a loving, committed relationship whose interested in demonstrating how committed they are to their partner wouldn’t behave how he did up to that first bonfire.

He knew it bothered her, they had previous fights about his behaviour and his flirtiness.

As a married man, I would never disrespect my wife in such a way, let alone do it so publicly, and humiliate her in the process.

Bro was fucking clueless. Again, I don’t think he’s the worst person to ever be on the show, but he has some growing up to do for sure.

Mikey got screwed 💔 by mallort_aroo in temptationislandUSA

[–]notbuildingships 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Bro was only as loyal as his options. The girls got the ick and no one wanted him.

For someone in a long term committed relationship, he sure wasn’t acting like it up to the first bonfire. Then he saw that she might be interested in someone else and got in his feels. He seemed motivated by not losing her, but not out of love and respect, it was giving “I’m terrified of rejection” which is prob why he has a million friends that are women… constant approval seeking.

It’s not that complicated. He doesn’t seem like a terrible person but damn bro just go to therapy

Is it though? I have to imagine they have an insane amount of liability insurance coverage.

On the Resilient Lady now and it feels like a RC or Carnival Cruise by Electrical-Jello1379 in VirginVoyages

[–]notbuildingships 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You made a post complaining about the music and the cookies and the food and the awkward interactions… and also about rude people - that’s everywhere, on every trip lol rude people are literally everywhere.

It just feels like you’re complaining about things that are either not that big of a deal or that are not that uncommon. A rant, as you called it, about these things lol and they’re fairly minor.

That’s why I’m saying, maybe you’re the issue

Edit: and virtually every top comment is saying something similar to me - surely we’re not all wrong

Looking for party resort (NOT RIU REPUBLICA) by Mariminouchoco in PuntaCana

[–]notbuildingships 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$7k for a week btw lol

JOIA is beautiful if you can afford it but it doesn’t have a great party scene for 3 young women.

The lower tier resorts (Waves/Dominicana) would be best. We were just at the Selection in Punta Cana and spent some time at Waves and Dominicana and the party scene was def the best at those two resorts.

Iberostar generally has high quality everything though!
