I am a millennial, and I was giggling during the entire first half of your comment due to knowing about every single thing you say we don't know about. Do you think we didn't have siblings, cousins, parents? This reminds me that we are all products of our own generation, and that it's easy to become out of touch with the next or the last one without knowing it. Maybe talk to more millennials if you think they all don't know about those events. And by the way, the reason most young people will fail on the cranberries question isn't because the event it protested was so long ago; it's because most people everywhere at any point in time simply don't know much about English history or the IRA/the troubles. Most of my elders who were young adults and adults in the 90s don't know what that song is about either.

I'm getting rid of an old Hi8 camcorder and figured I'd throw in the tapes with it, but I want to wipe the contents of the tapes before I do. I don't have a huge magnet or anything I can use to quickly erase the tapes, so the only option is to record over them using the camcorder. Instead of being boring and just muting it and...
After years of pressure from the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, which has intensified in recent months, the German company Puma announced on December 12 that it will drop its sponsorship of the Israel Football Association.
Now we have a whole new chapter in the debate. Is it okay that some companies will follow suit just for the money? Do we say "It's okay to jump on this bandwagon". Personally I don't care if there's a ‘being good’ competition, so long as the being good is more than superficial. Curious to hear what others think.
I don't know how it is everywhere, but in multiple areas I've lived, you can't just build your own house anymore. You either go outside of city limits and pay to get utilities out there, pull permits, the whole nine, or you buy a premade piece of crap cookie cutter house in the city, which usually comes with some form of HOA. Unless you got big bucks, most people simply can't afford a house outside of an HOA of some kind anymore.
Assume that the future can change based on your actions, so any historical information that you bring along with you from the intervening 25 years may quickly drift out of the new realities history....
If you let them know their bullying is getting to you, they'll only continue and increase their torment. You might need to grow a thick skin to get through living with them, but try not to let that harden you to the world too much in the process. They may be physically stronger than you, but that shouldn't stop you from becoming your best self. Not for them; but for yourself.
like I went to taco bell and they didn’t even have napkins out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don’t get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.
I mean, they do though? I'm totally against that, but hear me out: if we infiltrated for instance, and tried to do the opposite approach of only screwing the shareholders while providing maximum value to workers and consumers, we wouldn't last long enough to bring it to a vote at the corrupted board. If you don't provide a solid plan on how you're gonna fuck consumers in the coming quarter, they won't even let you stay on as CEO. It's literally not possible to do good in this system, you can either not participate and keep getting fucked as consumers/workers, or you can trade class and provide value for shareholders, there is no in between anymore. The only option that will change this without another Teddy, is revolution. Hopefully a peaceful one.
It's pretty simple actually. Big companies took billions upon billions of dollars in federal subsidies and grants handed out to them via taxation of the public, then when they got just about done building the thing they spent all our money on, they erected a nice shiny gate at the front and charged us admission. But not before bribing donating to criminals politicians to ensure zero competition or risk to their non-investment. It's rampant capitalism defined.
What's that, about 3/4" at the top? Seems sturdy, reliable. It could use some decorating, maybe a feather or rounded-off handle. Nice and straight too, not too rigid but not too curved up... I'd give this stick a 7.2 out of a maximum possible score of 10.
So being a dick and acting holier than thou causes people to abandon my cause... Hmm... Maybe I should call those people stupid, that'll positively impact the world, surely.
Because material conditions are consistently hovering juuust above revolt levels. If we want a massive sweeping change, shit will get worse first. People will demand change, but I believe a large portion of society will have to be starving and on the streets before we consider movement that actually does anything to change the status quo, due to the risk of death.
It needs to be considered a mental illness which one cannot solve alone. Then we can toss the fuckers in charge of fortune 500 companies into looney bins and get society's shit together.
The all-white judges of Louisiana’s 5th Circuit Court of Appeal systematically ignored thousands of claims from prisoners, most of them Black, who said they had been wrongly convicted. Efforts to expose the decadelong injustice went unheard.
I honestly believe this is a massive part of the guns issue. Why would you ever give up your weapons when you have near-infinite evidence your government hates you, and in fact gleefully works for the guarantors of your destruction? That's just plain sucker shit.
I swear the way IT people speak about non-IT people is so funny. You guys act like everyone is borderline retarded because they don't know intricate details of your hobby/career. Acting like you're a part of some other group that doesn't understand human beings and their attraction to shiny things. It's like watching an alien try to sneak into society.
Even if they did, won’t they get a lot of false positives because of a large amount of it being sprayed hemp buds that are legal as hemp? Also, I know a lot of dispensaries get their stock like vape pens and such delivered this way already. How does that all work?
'Friends' was one of the biggest tv series in nearly every country, it's not just good ol' American hubris, nor unimportant news to people throughout the world who enjoyed his work. Artists who are known around the world make headlines all the time, no less when they die, obviously. I certainly doubt anyone would read of Patrick Stewart dying, only to rush to the comments to say how irrelevant this British actor's passing was.
Ohio and Georgia could not be more different. Leftism is growing fast in GA, and their population is very diverse by comparison. There's a lot of opposition to conservatism down there now o'days.
I have so many friends who would 100% be labeled as an incel if they were men. They hold men to impossibly high standards while meeting none of those standards themselves....

Album, breathe. You're the only one who's making this post about that. What you're doing is exactly like when incels get mad and brigade the feminist forums to say "not all men".
Oat milk is a scam. Soy milk is the only milk alternative being and doing exactly what it says and it's ass in coffee. The rest are seriously problematic for a variety of reasons, the two big ones for me being oat milk which processes through the human body as pure sugar, and almond milk which isn't the miracle health product it's been sold as, as well as being extremely detrimental to our environment to grow for mass production. Probably the worst thing you can do with almonds to make things worse for the environment is turn them into liquid, cause as anyone who's ever made Juice knows: it takes more input material than you get out by a long shot. Now imagine juicing tiny little almonds. Anyway, you've all been warned!
A few days ago I sent a GDPR request to some company to delete my personal data. They said to install their app and send a ticket from the app. The email was sent from the email address to which the account is registered. Is this even legal?

The Detroit area is heavily populated by Muslims from all over the world. Not to say all Muslims want to do violent things; but I believe the logic is that as a Jewish person, one should probably stay as far away from areas heavily populated by Muslim folks who may or may not have a couple brothers, cousins, and uncles who want to stone you to death or some other awful thing.... As possible.
I think we may be entering a new era politically. Thank goodness. Maybe we'll see some momentum in antitrust again, it's been 120 years since we last got the ball rolling, and what we got was well worth fighting for in my opinion. The world can always be a little bit better, and antitrust laws help us make it better.
Or maybe most things are reviewed using a 1-10 scale, with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, so most people assume a low "rating" falls on the typical rating scale we've all used for centuries. No need to agitate your sciatica, dad.

Let's not forget that whole MSG conspiracy back in the day too. "Chinese food syndrome"... as if. Even the McDonald's murderer's wife later claimed MSG made him do it, in a lawsuit she filed and did not win.
This is a continuation of the dance around what's being talked about. The reaction isn't that ‘other people's opinions are bad’. The reaction is that oppressive behavior being passed off as innocuous opinion is not genuine opinion, and cannot be tolerated in a peaceful society. But yeah, let's minimize the opposing view like a cable TV news anchor.
