Watching Restrepo (2010)–it's no wonder why the "hearts and minds" initiative fell flat. They sent the dumbest, least emotionally intelligent people to essentially do diplomacy across an entire country. A 5th grader could have built stronger relationships with locals JFC.
@DarioAmodei and any other CEOs that may see this: no one gives a fuck about your company's "mission". Grow the fuck up. Not everything is about you and your "dreams" – especially if they entail destroying humanity but by bit.
@Mayfuel You didn't consider that maybe it's due to apathy? People understand that our government doesn't really give a shit about what we think or want. Nah, better just assume that people are okay with child rape. Great take.
@uncledoomer It has more to do with the fact that employers know married individuals will have higher salary/wage expectations than single individuals. The disparity between married men/women is still largely due to patriarchal norms (women tending to stay home w/kids).
@onlyskypace 40+40=180 so the remaining angle in the top triangle is 100. The angle opposite is also 100. 100+50=150 so the missing angle in the bottom triangle is 30. 30+x=180 so x=150
Can you name any victims of Mao Zedong, the Most Evil Man in History?
Don't worry, I can help. Meet one of the virtuous innocent landlords who lost everything after the revolution Mao led:

Police DO NOT prevent crime; they respond to it. Crime is prevented by higher wages, guaranteed health care, food security, high-quality child care, housing, good schools, and addiction treatment.
@SenRickScott Look, honey– the record-holder for Medicare fraud is saying we should be concerned about this leftist commentator because he likes wearing a Chinese suit.
Go fuck yourself, you evil little prick.
@R_eq_uin@Dougcotefx And the 15-20% is probably an optimistic view on the proportion of people who would be ready and willing to do such a thing in the first place.
@R_eq_uin@Dougcotefx Please enlighten me, oh wise one. Describe to me how 15-20% of the American population can feasibly use force to alter the course of American foreign policy. I understand your passion and frustration but please–anchor your analysis in reality.
@TaylorLorenz@MRJKilcoyne I respect you and your reporting but tbh, you take this particular issue to the extreme. If you were advocating that people mask up whenever they feel under-the-weather; that's one thing. But you seem to be taking this to hypochondriac levels.
