Most people are like that. It’s really normal to have views from all over the spectrum, not all from one side. Many libertarians maturely face the conundrum that they will always fight for the liberties of others, even if they personally or morally disagree with them. And I’m talking about actual libertarians, not the US “libertarians” their media has.mislabelled and confused.the nation by basically redefining that term to somethung entirely different.

I don’t think you understand that, like always with the same old small minority of vegans that go out there being cruel to people, these posts are reactive to recent poor behaviour. For this reason, it’s unusual for anyone to empathise with these types of people, regardless of ideology, unless you are in defence of their antagonising of others; which is fine, just don’t be surprised by the ongoing discourse not being in favour of that position.

When I was 15, my girlfriend’s mother was appalled that I had no idea who Motley Crue was, but I knew all the other bands she mentioned.

I look back now and imagine it’s like meeting a teenager who knows Green Day and Oasis, but has never heard of Blink 182.

I’m into cars. They all have personalities and behaviours. I often see cars and think, “When it rolled out of the factory on its first day, did it ever imagine that one day it would be like this?”

“What am I going to be when I grow up?”

“You’re going to ferry an old business man off his estate twice a month, then be sold to an Uber Black driver that won’t look after you so you’ll blow blue smoke and eventually be sold to a scrap yard for parts.”

“Oh… 😔”

“And what about me? What will I be?”

“You’re going to have three 122mm rocket launchers strapped to you and you’ll help liberate a nation.”

“…😲”

Yeah. Japan’s usually going to be number 1 in Asia, but we all go for whoever of those three teams is still in and usually two of them are in the WC. China’s just insignificant. I think even NZ is higher than them and they’re a low-population nation obsessed with rugby.

Haha. I’m sure the police knew. He had been arrested a few times for climbing bridges and construction sites around the city. Then get dropped home right by a massive pine tree with a cone on top.

I imagine they’d be sent to Ukraine to be killed by an arsenal Made In USA.

There’s a bar near me that is crammed full of arcade machines from all the decades and it is crammed with people of all ages having a blast and so many young people on dates. Games like DDR are still insanely popular and there’s line ups for Daytona USA even though it’s older than plenty of the people playing it.

Indicted on three counts involving money laundering and wire fraud, the Charlotte-area man faces a maximum of 20 years per charge.

a humiliating 7-0 loss to World Cup rivals Japan

Uuuh. Maybe China considers Japan a rival, but Japan wouldn’t consider China at all. If an actual world-class team like Japan has a rival, it would be Korea. Both teams obviously well above China in rankings.

You could consider Australia a rival, but honestly the two countries and the fans love each other too much.

My friend used to climb massive pine trees late at night in a park across his street, and place traffic cones on top. No one knew who was doing it or why. Many people thought it was the local council marking the trees to be cut down which upset residents. He started noticing police regularly patrolling the area, but he kept doing it and never got caught. It made the local paper, explaining how much confusion and disruption it was causing the police and local council. He hung the article on his wall.

You just made me realise I’m a gamer, not a Fortniter. But I probably should’ve realised that based on my Steam "years of service* and disgustingly large catalogue.

I’m a proven guaranteed money pot, publishers! Make me something good and I give the moneys!

You must have a very exciting betting wallet. I usually just got for one thing rather than spray hedge bets.on all the things I can basrlessly assume. Also, you didn’t cover race or politics in there.

Wait til you look at homicide by firearm and realise that the US is more dangerous that some countries in active war.

Haha, yeah, guns are totally legal here. I have a lot of friends with guns and even two friends that make a living off shooting. The difference between here and the US is that they’re seen as tools that easily have deadly consequence if abused and therefore are regulated as such. Some gun owners in the US will be like, “Duh”, but the laws in the US do not reflect the same sentiment. Everyone has a right to firearms, but the public servants have measures in place that first say, “Okay, but why?” I mean, I’d love a to have a lot of things on my property, but obviously that’s no possible in the interests of public safety.

That QLD shooting can happen (and will), but not with the regularity of more torn countries. Certainly not ones like the USA which are sort of in a league of their own with a handful of other countries that at least have an excuse like drug cartels and rampant crinal warfare.

Oh, wait. There I go thinking I live in Australia and it’s real again. Gawsh, I’m so conditioned.

Well apparently I’m actually in some sort of Truman Show dome.

Australia Doesn’t Exist

And y’all know about the so-called “gun laws” here and how swiftly and easily everything got changed. Seems too good to be true 🤔🤔🤔🤔

For the US, I think it would be so slow at catching up to more developed standards of gun control that it would be generational and not a matter of years. It’s not so much the laws that are currently in place that’s the issue, it’s the lack of regulation that’s created such an ingrained culture that’s going to take a long time to evolve. So, technology like this would stil definitely be utilised in the future.

My thoughts, anyway.

And honestly, I didn’t even realise there was another school shooting in the US. Internationally, I guess it just gets covered less and less because it’s not really “news” anymore.

Dogs don’t belong on TV.

I dunno US law, but wouldn’t accepting money from Russia to propagate the US he some form of light treason.

a vegan guest and was talking about how their dog “Is totally vegan now and won’t even choose meat if it’s in front of her”.

Christ, I hope that dog got taken off them.
