lolz Sarge explains it better than Clausewitz. Heinlein representing his US Naval Academy knowledge.
the movie Starship Troopers, which I maintain is a dumb movie with aspirations of being a smart movie, pretending to be a dumb movie.
Agreed, he tried to make a satire but only made a b-movie.
Romans are assholes.
First time I’ve heard this. People in Rome are like people in NYC: busy with their own lives, unwilling to take any BS, but generally helpful if you really need it.
Also, I think mainstream Americans expect people to be bouncy and grinning all the time or else they say you have resting bitch face and a case of the Mondays. In a lot of cultures, grinning at a complete stranger is condescending and makes you look foolish.
I used to like donuts, then one day I started making my own frosting and put it on cake and toast and other stuff. Eventually I got tired of it and I haven’t wanted donuts since. My theory is that donuts give you just enough frosting to want more but not enough to be satisfying, so you keep eating those blobs of deep-fried bread hoping to get enough frosting.
“Evolution is blind” is debatable. Arguably, we evolved to fit an environment. We are survivors.
Spez would be very disappointed to hear you say that. He would immediately shoot another DM to Elon telling him he’s trying real hard to be just like him.
Lemme guess… dad’s favorite pokemon is Vaporeon.
Obviously I pick up the phone and tell them some lie that I am shopping or whatever
One thing I’ve found is that I usually don’t have to give an excuse. I can just say “I’m busy” or “I’m taking care of something.”
I keep a book nearby in case I really need an activity/excuse.
Such a good movie. It’s got battle scenes, but really it’s about operational maneuvers and logistics, which is rare, and they make it interesting.
Downfall / Der Untergang
How could you say such a thing, and NOT give his age as 69?
My husband said it was embarrassing that I fell for it and he’s ashamed. Thanks.
Tell him you tend to fall for obvious, shameful things. Then look at him meaningfully.
Universities will still call alumni asking for money. Tell em no, tell em why, then tell em to put you on the ‘do not call’ list.
I suspect comment-OP just lives somewhere that giving teens sex education is considered odd and unethical. Unsurprisingly, teenage pregnancy is often the result, so with good intentions they are giving the best advice they have.
This is a future worse than Nausicaa…
You shoulda just posted this on [email protected] , it’s getting upvoted there.
FWIW I had a similar experience, and just switched to oatmilk. I only use it for breakfast cereal, so I don’t notice a difference.
(I’ve heard almond milk is good too, but I believe almond growers take up a disproportionate amount of water.)
Well, it’s debatable but I think it comes down to defining your terms.
Either perspective agrees that there is no “Grand Architect” and/or “God’s Plan” which I think is the general point being made. But it’s just a little distracting.
