As a millennial, at no point did we actually want participation trophies. The feeling of coming in last was not changed in the slightest by receiving a junk trophy.

Hate it all you want, but until you can establish a viable third party (who isn’t also awful), “lesser of two evils” is the only choice you have.

No one said Obama wasn’t also evil. In fact, no one mentioned him at all. And he wasn’t one of the options in the last election. Why are you so obsessed with him?

The state of mobile phone market in Canada is so frustrating. Not only is our market dominated by 3 players who refuse to actually compete with each other, but we miss out on half the cool phones that the rest of the world gets too.

“Capitalism” isn’t some self aware entity that you can blame all evils on. It’s humans all the way down. And it’s not even the cartoon evil type of humans; those are rare. Everyone responsible at each step of the way is terrifyingly ordinary.

I’m not sure those two really do. Any Russian claims have been proven suspect, and China’s force protection has always been their Achilles heel.

Iran has no ability to do that.

I seriously doubt that will happen. The current administration has shown zero indication that they give two fucks about what the people want.

If you want to play the blame game, the blame falls on everyone. The right is pushing to make things actively worse, the center is willing to just put up with whatever the current status quo is, and the left would rather spend all their time attacking one another for being the wrong brand of left, rather than actually go out and do something productive.

Again, being aware of your own limitations and doing what you can is preferable to faking it, and falling apart when it counts.

Not everyone can be a super tough guy like you surely are.

Lol, you think this is going to end with just calmly standing in a crowd?

Much better to be self aware of it and account for it, than to get yourself and others killed due to your false bravado.

If you read the rest of the article, she addresses that. She doesn’t believe that she is personally brave enough to physically confront what is coming, so for her, the choice is get out now while she can and be vocal.

The scary part is that there absolutely is logic to it. They’re still just slightly short of being willing to say that part out loud.

That would explain why she’s willing to just toss the coffee in the back seat. Must have a side hustle doing razor blade disposal as well.

I mean, you can. Probably shouldn’t though.

Osmosis

Not all of them. Some of the carbon atoms will have decayed into (I think) nitrogen.

We talking movie Thanos, or comic book Thanos?

The problem is, unless things change drastically, that is the trajectory the US is on.
