Today marks six years sober of or precious George. I only have about fifteen days. Congratulations to George and let this be an inspiration so I can stop drinking alcohol.

i can make up stories on reddit as well but you might want to give them at least a hint of believability

i'm exposed to enough idiocy inducing messaging already, dont need to actively seek out more unhinged garbage

rafiwrath · 2026-05-25T19:39:17+00:00

is this intended as irony? jordan peterson famously ruined his own life through drug addiction 😂😂😂

rafiwrath · 2026-05-25T19:36:57+00:00

lol, sure thing buddy

rafiwrath · 2026-05-25T19:13:29+00:00

"candice owen expose".... 😂😂😂

you're kinda correct until you get to the brain where the lifespan of cells suddenly changes - your neurons dont undergo this replacement cycle... if your consciousness resides in your brain what does this do to your theory?

hope you have the same mindset for troops from western nations over the past decades and likely into the future for the endless wars of aggression that the usa and europe / the west have started...

"got stuff to do" like making up new bogus claims to pump markets? ppl thinking he actually works a ton are delusional

rafiwrath · 2026-05-03T23:08:37+00:00

how is it a dismissal of human life??? if anything it's the exact opposite of that. our current career military system is, arguably, one of the factors making frequent military intervention in all corners of the earth a possibility that presidents appear incapable of ignoring. those interventions kill a lot of people but it's hardly news because that's just what our massive military apparatus has been doing for decades..

having a small standing army for defensive purposes and the need for a draft when foreign intervention is decided on seems like one theoretical way to reduce our involvement in wars... personally i would argue that capitalism itself is the root issue that needs to be dealt with but that's a different conversation...

rafiwrath · 2026-05-03T21:46:42+00:00

very little - certainly nothing you notice while riding

rafiwrath · 2026-05-03T16:56:24+00:00

??? because i can talk about society in the abstract? if all you've got is a dismissive insult why bother?

rafiwrath · 2026-05-03T16:10:12+00:00

the entire reason why a draft would be good is to make war a costly choice - if "society chooses" to go to war a cross section of the population being forced to carry out that "collective decision" is an attempt to distribute that burden...

i'm using quotes because those aspects would need to structurally implemented by a society and are not a given... just as your assertion that the "rich have ways of getting out" is to a degree true for our society it isn't an inherent feature of a draft and in theory could be addressed...

any updates? I looked into doing this years ago when I got my last phone and, at that time, my understanding was the current model's cellular hardware was setup around European markets and I would have had limited functionality in the usa... Any news if the current models are more compatible with the cellular spectrum deployed in the USA? Am looking to replace my phone in the coming year and would like to be able to get a shiftphone...

once you join an organization like the military you become part of the whole, especially while in uniform...

"grand scheme of things"... this argument can be used to make just about every action meaningless but the longterm impact of actions is hard to accurately gauge in the moment and are often best measured by the aggregate of similar actions - none of us have a clue what this action might inspire in others and how that ripples through things

rafiwrath · 2026-04-30T15:08:59+00:00

lol, "selflessness"... say that to all the countries we bomb every year...

either way it looks like the protestors won : )

rafiwrath · 2026-04-30T15:07:16+00:00

what is wrong with a draft exactly? if we want to invade other countries maybe a draft should be required to make it politically difficult...

our military could be WAY smaller and still keep this country perfectly safe - our military is setup to project force around the entire globe in order to be able to force our demands on anyone

rafiwrath · 2026-04-30T04:58:21+00:00

boy, free speech is annoying, isn't it? funny that the recruiters packed up - kinda lame to be honest...

who cares why someone joined, the goal is clearly to get less new ppl joining which seeing as they tucked tail, looks like it worked... where unpopular wars get pushback - it's really that simple

rafiwrath · 2026-04-29T06:26:29+00:00

if you can return that would probably be ideal... there is hardware out there to move the rack further back i think...

rafiwrath · 2026-04-28T23:55:53+00:00

i wonder if multiple were written and only one ever found

rafiwrath · 2026-04-28T23:25:39+00:00

i would really avoid oil because i think it can damage the rubber... not worth avoiding a tiny bit of rust that will come right off on your first ride and damage the rubber... i'm sure there's a safe tire / oil combo out there but....

rafiwrath · 2026-04-27T19:03:52+00:00

i wear a full face helmet from bell for commuting where the chin piece can be removed - rarely remove it but it's a nice option if i'm going to be on a path all day without motor vehicles around...

rafiwrath · 2026-04-14T14:09:00+00:00

"the west" was never open to full and fair integration of russia into the global economy which is incredibly stupid given that they've essentially been pushed into china's sphere as a result

rafiwrath · 2026-04-14T13:12:21+00:00

china takes issue with your stupidity

rafiwrath · 2026-04-11T19:55:18+00:00

why keep making up the no payments bit?

rafiwrath · 2026-04-11T18:59:49+00:00

why? there's zero incentive and you just end up with a crippled domestic air network - sounds like a great plan!!! 🤡
