And you've got other countries in the region, like Saudi Arabia (who I am not a fan of, but that's another conversation), who help us to invade Iraq (which was a bad idea, but that is yet another conversation) and fought alongside the USA *twice*.When you look at the effort put in, and the military bases, SA and the other Arab states have been better allies to the USA. And we fucked them over by attacking Iran. We fucked over our own allies in the region at the behest of Israel.
#6 My spouse has a friend in that situation. We still haven't figured out why there hasn't been a divorce yet. But every time I hear news about them, I look good in comparison.
I was going to post this comment too. The new ones just have an RFID tag in the disc, and just read that and play one of the songs stored in memory.What was neat about the originals is that you could see exactly how it worked. And maybe make your own tunes (though that would have been a lot of work).The new ones are just a music-playing greeting card, wrapped in a lot more plastic.
The cost of healthcare is so outrageous these days in the USA. If I ever catch something bad, I'll have to think twice about receiving any kind of treatment. I might end up taking the quick way out if it comes to that. I will not leave a large debt burden to my family. No way, no how.
I would definitely lose a fight with a chimp. Something not mentioned is that the attachment points for their tendons are further from their joints than on humans. This means they can't move their limbs as fast as us, but have greater leverage. So they aren't throwing fastballs, but their ground game is far superior.With a typical housecat, I *will* win that fight, but I will definitely be going to the hospital afterwards. And be forever sorry I got into a serious fight with a housecat!
I hate this sort of thing. I'm typing away at something, and a pop-up steals keyboard focus before I even notice and I've just accepted / rejected something that I don't even know what it was.Why? Why?????? There should be some hold-off timer with regards to use input and stealing window focus. Or these things should never steal focus to begin with.
Ding, ding, ding. Become a popular body-building influencer, then get sponsorship deals promoting various supplements and drugs.Who cares if your heart and other internal organs won't last another 20 years? It is all about getting that money *right now*.
I respect your desire to have a physical copy. Though it is worth full price. Basically everything I've wanted in a CRPG, and many more things I didn't think to ask for.
These farmers will be replaced by corporate ownership of farms. Which is arguably worse for the environment and sustainability. And the corporations will use use the power of money to influence the government.These farmers are asshats for voting for the giant orange baby. But just because they will be suffering, it doesn't mean it is good for the rest of the country either.
And yet major media outlets (nearly all are corrupt / incompetent) hyped it all up for years on end. They're still doing "crypto updates", as if any of it is still legit business.If the tech bros just wanted to use it for money laundering, that would have been fine. But they had to promote it to everyone, spewing their crap all over the place. And fooling a lot of ordinary citizens out of their money.I still don't understand how all this stupid shit just keeps hanging on.
They are the intended target. But white women are sometimes being dragged into this BS as well. Like that white Christian lady in TX, where the fetus was brain-dead (or something like that), and the hospital refused to take it out.As others have commented, it is about controlling women in general. But the racists especially want to punish minority women. And they don't care about the collateral damage to white Christian women, because they are women and don't deserve rights either.
While you are technically correct (the best kind of correct), that still isn't useful to frame it that way. Talking about this from our own inertial frame of reference is more useful.
Heck, the oldies around here may also remember the Reader's Digest magazine in grocery stores.
People have been trying to take shortcuts with reading books for decades now. Cliff Notes and other companies which sold books summaries.
These "men" probably treat their kitchen appliances better than the women in their lives.This is such a fucked-up timeline. I want a re-do. Where's The Doctor when you need him?
Even if there isn't a stunt, you don't want to risk your lead actor falling off a building.

While this is the correct decision by the USSC, we can't lose sight of the fact that they are still horribly corrupt.Yes, they decided *one* case against the giant orange baby. It matters for justice for E. Jean Carroll, but doesn't matter for the nation as a whole.Meanwhile, the USSC is destroying voting rights and many other things on the fascist's agenda.
And sometimes, not even then.
Yep. Was teaching the nephews how to do it not that long ago.If folded with 8.5x11in paper, the plane will need a little adjustment for the best glide. You can just bend up the rear corner of the wingtips.
The basic paper airplane design (before cutting those slots) is often called the Nakamura Lock, and has been around a long time. I learned to fold it over 40 years ago in middle school.
I had imagined that "The Pillar of Autumn" was named from a favorite poem or something like that.
Not surprising. You are extending out the parallel bus lines way further than originally designed. Never mind how the switching works.
I can't forgive 343 for that plot, with what happened with Cortana.
Thank you.People need to learn how to just be there in the moment. Just see and observe. You don't have to filter everything through your phone / social media.I remember one solar eclipse from decades ago, where the tree next to us had tiny gaps between the leaves, and so you could see hundreds of little crescents on sidewalk, moving around with the breeze.
Second comment.True depression can really warp your thinking. It is not just that you are sad. Maybe you have gotten to the point where you can't conceive of a life for yourself where you can be happy. It seems impossible. That there is no route to happiness (or at least OK-ness). All roads lead to struggle, suffering, and failure.Part of working through depression is figuring out how to create a life for yourself that isn't terrible and agonizing.
First comment.Unless you, OP, have been horribly abusive to your girlfriend, her suicide attempt is *not about you*. It is not your fault, you are not the cause. Don't make it about you, and don't ask questions in that direction.It is about her, and what she has going on.
The "model shop" is a diorama of the actual model shop during the production of Star Wars (what would later become Industrial Light and Magic). There's a couple photos of the guys during the production, and someone decided to do a diorama of that. The model makers famously used "kit-bashing" for adding detail to the various space ships, so that's why there is the large collection of 1970's plastic model kits on the shelves.
It would be surprising in this day and age if she *didn't* end up embezzling at least some of that campaign donation money.
I assume you mean the movie Take This Waltz (2011).
