Yeah, we're letting them vote now, and they almost get as much money as we do for the exact same work, and sometimes we even let them become CEOs. What's their problem? Can't they just say "thank you" and shut up?

Yeah this almost makes me like her.

Did you see the video of the dashcon organizers asking the attendees for donations, and the announing that they had raised 17,000 bucks? It's so weird. They all sound like they're at a fucking cult meeting. And then they start chanting.

Just so you guys know, this comment wasn't written by the user "Josay!", it was written by 4chan trolls who've hacked into select kinja accounts to spread lies and misinformation about dashcon. Also, Chris Person's account got hacked and taken over by 4chan. Furthermore, all the money that was donated to dashcon has…

Plus, the photos of her actual assault being displayed behind her on a gigantic screen... What were they thinking??

Fuck, she's a baby. Jesus Christ.

She looks cool. She'll be fine.

Well, considering how quickly her whole "benevolent saviour" act has gone to shit, I'd say the director intended this scene to be somewhat uncomfortable and foreshadowing of how naive and inexperienced Daeny really is, and how prone she is to buy into her own hype.

Yeah but see, nobody is gonna jump down my throat and defend the honor of the sacred profession of teaching if I say "From my personal experience, the teachers in XYZ high school are incompetent idiots."
I just don't understand why so many Americans refuse to listen to any kind of criticism of their military and even…

I get what you're saying, and if I hadn't been there myself I might even agree with you, but I've spent 10 years covering the conflicts in the Middle East as a photographer, and I have seen so much incompetence and ignorance from the soldiers (not just the US, mind you) first hand that I just can't not blame part of…

Law enforcement and fire departments: of course. Military: no. Many countries manage just fine with limited or no military at all. In fact, they even do much better economically than the US, since they don't blow their budget on drones and fighter jets. There's nothing honorable about the way the US military is run.…

Lack of other options is not the reason most people join the army, and if it was... well then surely that would be adressed by various human rights groups and politicians, because using the poor and optionless as canon fodder surely would be frowned upon in a free, equal societly, wouldn't it?

I'm sure you all feel much safer now that a whole new generation of Afghans and Iraqi people have first-hand experience with how unprepared, incompetent and badly behaved your army is.

...said the person who accused me of wanting a war for pointing out the cost of war.

Maybe it does need to be invaded, then people like you will finally know what that feels like, and what it's like to see whole cities bombed into the ground every time a kid throws a rock at one of the occupiers' tanks in protest.

Again: Must be nice to never have been there and seen the damage and the corpses and the entitlement of the foreign occupying forces. But I'm sure living in your mom's basement is pretty hard, too.

Well, I've never invaded another country and killed a bunch of children for my country, so yeah, I feel pretty good about myself.

Ah, ironic detachment. Must be nice to not have any personal stake in this.

I have very little sympathy for anyone who buys into the military cult and willingly chooses to become a glorified gun for hire for a government that has an impressive track record of incompetence and corruption. They chose to become soldiers.

What? But those brave US soldiers have freed them. They are free to do anything they please, like visit the graves of their family members who have died in a pointless war, or rebuild their homes that have been destroyed by the US army and Saudi-sponsored terrorist groups, or keep their children safe from the…
