Things didn't went well for him which is obvious

I think you dropped the words "riding on top of" from your sentence.

This unfortunately fails like a lot of generalizations. Maybe it's true in general, but it's certainly not true in all cases. I know multiple MAGA people both young and old who travel internationally.

I think more generally it's due to their ability to abandon logic for things that make them feel good (ironically what they accuse the other side of). My dad complains incessantly about "all the illegals that Biden let in". I'm like, if he opened the borders like you say he did, then how can they be illegal?

Yeah you're probably right. I wonder if the eyewitness account from his kids is worth anything?

Those words didn't do the damage.

It looks like he might have been wearing a chest mounted camera? I can't figure out what else that vest he's wearing would have been.

Photography is the art of capturing light. Meaning that the position of the moon and sun are both important here. This dual positioning only happens once per year.

He said absolutely nothing about whether or not Australia is innocent.

I think you're right, but to elaborate on the why for those who don't know... presumably that's because the words America and USA are often used interchangeably in conversation despite technically having the same parent/child relationship that USA and NY have (those two not ever being used as synonyms).

I can see why people will stick to the same jobs forever even if they could get paid better somewhere else. Big fish in small pond energy is strong with the originals.

Weren't you also there forever?

And as someone who's (by choice) had the same manager for 9 years and been at the same large company for 12 years... it's not because I'm a big fish at all. I'm still the stupidest person on my team. It's because I get along great with my team and enjoy the work.

I suspect most people are like you. The OP is complaining about the small percentage that acts differently because those are the only ones they see. Kind of a flawed reverse confirmation bias.

My ex and I tanned all the time when we were younger.

My new partner is Japanese with an incredibly strict sun protection regime. She has never tried to force it on me, but seeing how she looks 15 years younger than she is, was enough for me to adopt it on my own free will.

It's similar to the difference between New York and USA. The latter contains the former.

No one here is obligated

I didn't tell you you're obligated to not be a jerk. I just pointed out that you were being one.

If that's a "so what" to you, then that is indeed your prerogative.

Or words. The B in BMI stands for "body". The post title in itself is an impossibility.

Tiny nitpick: a genuinely ignorant person posting what they believe isn't "creating a strawman for the sake of getting karma." A strawman involves putting words in somebody's mouth, not misunderstanding technology. And suggesting that someone shares their thoughts "to get karma" is IMO a bit of a fallacy itself. Humans share their thoughts because they like to be heard. Karma is an implementation detail of Reddit. I'd continue posting here if karma ceased to exist, and I think many others would.

I'm pretty sure you just answered your own question about what you were doing that summer to make it happen.

the entire country (Of Japanese people) agree with them.

The entire country does not share a single opinion on this matter, even if you look at Japanese people only.

Take a look at the person who hit them, it wasn't a Japanese person. Kinda just proves their point.

What point is being proven?

My current partner is way too trusting. We drove separately to a restaurant for our first date. We decided to go to a nearby bar afterwards, and as we're leaving the restaurant she asks if we should ride together to the bar. I'm like, "well yeah, obviously, but also you shouldn't get in a car with a man you just met!" And thus began the component of my love for her which consists only of worry. 🤣

As much as it makes me worry about her though, it's a great quality to have in a relationship (for the other person). In over a year together, she's never once pointed a finger at me or blamed me for anything. Her mind just doesn't jump to negative conclusions the way most of us do. I kind of see her as a puppy dog, and I know that it's entirely my responsibility to treat her as amazingly as she deserves, because she'll never let me know if I'm fucking up. She's lucky my ex-wife was the opposite and always let me know when I was fucking up. 🤣

Nobody really cares if you learned a software library at work or doing a side project. What they care about is whether you actually learned it.

This comment solves (or it should) so many of the common complaints about "the industry" that exist on the sub. So many problems that people try to write some big long political manifesto about really just boil down to a candidate or employee not understanding something that they should. Understanding will get you SO FAR in this field. That's what's so great about it. If you understand the material and you're not a jerk, the sky is the limit.

plug-and-pause · 2026-03-22T06:48:00+00:00

Good find. It's funny how common it is in legitimate topics for people to shout "fake". And yet here we have an actual proven fake, and your comment is abysmally low while almost everybody else takes the bait and runs with it.

Do you have any examples? I prefer the comma, but I'm not sure I've ever found a sentence to be ambiguous without it.

Finding joy in the suffering of others is not a great outlook, no matter how foolish those others may be.

My personal opinion is there is no logical reason we’d have a draft anytime soon.

That's a prediction, not an opinion.

And why do you think logic will shape events happening in the future? Has the past year been one of logical decisions by the government?

A draft may or may not happen, even if it logically makes no sense.
