No Man’s Sky. A foot deep but a mile wide.

A distant family member of mine was (is) a Marine, and made it to Drill Instructor before the effects of his PTSD from 3 tours and a TBI became too much (ie he basically had a psychotic break) and he medically retired.
After he got out, he and I talked about it one time. He told me that he’d had a lot of trauma growing up and was fairly bigoted when he first went in. But that after a while he couldn’t care less about someone’s sex, gender, race, religion, etc (at least as far as the people who had joined; he admits civilians are still a tough thing for him), because when you’re in the suck, none of that matters. The only thing he cared about is whether the person next to him was properly trained and willing to put their life on the line for him, just like he would for them.
It’s not to piss them off, but to send a message. Just like Putin, he’s going to put the screws to somebody wealthy to send the message “I did it to them, I can do it to you.”
Don’t forget the simple greed from the corps.
Nope. Unfortunately, like so many other things related to US elections, it’s a patchwork that varies by state.

Bullshit. Fuck that noise. I have family that I’ve cut out as well (although, luckily, not my parents). I’m 100% open to them rejoining my life, but their hatred for others is stronger than their love for me, and I won’t allow them back until that changes. Spoiler alert: it probably never will, because there’s no love like Christian “love”.
“Agree to disagree” is reserved for things like “I don’t like coffee.” Not racism, homophobia, and sexism. Not human rights. Not basic common decency. If I unfriend you during this, it IS personal. We do not have a difference of opinion. We have a difference in morality.

NIИ - The Downward Spiral is the common choice, but The Fragile is a much more complete album. However, my personal favorite is Year Zero.

I go pee pee standing up!
Yup. Then, when he’s still mispronouncing it, pivot to him not being able to remember how to pronounce it correctly being another sign of his mental faculties failing.

then a permanent ceasefire and withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, and ultimately the reconstruction of Gaza and return of Palestinians to their homes.
I don’t have anything to add, but want to ask a question about this part: what fucking homes?!?!
“Ok, you can go back home now. Btw, it’s a pile of rubble now, so good luck with that. Bye!”
Why would he pardon a bunch of antifa activists that were also railroaded and unfairly imprisoned?
