Yes - run in the democratic primary. But if and when you lose, too, get out of the way and don’t go sour grapes, either openly or by dragging your feet about supporting the party nominee.

Yes. F*ck that guy for being an obnoxious talentless jerk. To Japan - the vast majority of us think he’s absolutely awful too, and I apologise profusely. Please prosecute the crap out of him and deport him.
This, yes.
It’s not AE-bad. It definitely didn’t live up to the potential that such a world/setting might have, but given that it’s on Netflix, it’s decent enough as a random two-hours to kill - just don’t go in with any crazy expectations.
The world itself had me more interested, generally, than the story that they told within it. The world-building elements seemed to me to be a bit more interesting generally, and there were a lot of little touches in it that indicated to me that someone had put a lot of thought into it (that I wish they’d have added to…
Interestingly, the 2014 Mustang GT has 420 hp standard, though it’s the only one (2013 has slightly less, the 2015+ have slightly more).
Even on modern vessels, the helm of a ship is usually one person, who controls steering and the throttle. The rest of the crew is usually performing other functions - weapons, communications, making sure that power is being distributed properly, that engines/reactors/whatever aren’t overheating. All of these things…
There are still non-US carriers flying them, and you had to be flying overseas to get on one of these anyway. So go while there’s still time!
I’ve flown on a C5 - they’re amazingly huge. The inside is essentially a two-lane road down the middle of the aircraft, with another deck above it for the passengers.
Yep. But you can ask for fresh ones. It’ll annoy them, but they should do it.
Almost makes me want to remix the “Redneck” jokes.
Families were united my a**. Someone needs to school that dipsh*t about where the phrase “sold down the river” really came from. There’s so many heartbreaking stories about slave families being broken up because someone got sold off, and having to try and later find them and reunite after emancipation, like so: http://…
Same. I do miss the weather there though.. so perfect year round really. Course the cost of living there is insane, so without the military paying for it, not quite so easy. :)
I was Army a year or two before that. And yeah, it was crazy. There was a class a few rotations ahead of ours that took the DLPT and had like a 20% pass rate (never-mind washouts that didn’t make it that far). At that point it was a 63 week class (intended to go to 2/2/1+), though I heard they later upped it to…
Fellow DLI Korean grad, and yes. Also I want to say the washout rate in that class was really high, both in terms of failing out at some point in the course, or in final proficiency testing. My class lost something like 50% of its starting numbers, and we did comparatively well on that metric.
Learning written Korean wasn’t hard. The difficult part was more the grammar and vocabulary and such. I had an easy time learning it, but that was largely because I’d already been exposed to many similar rules due to having previously learned Japanese (which has similar sentence structure, topic markers, as well as…
Gross shortsightedness and extreme selfishness. They want the benefits of what others pay for, without having to pay for it themselves. People like this are the real leeches on society. I’ve got nothing against someone being successful and getting wealthy, but if society sets things up so you can succeed, you owe…
Racism is everywhere in the US, it just takes different forms. Jim Crow gets a lot of the attention and the history; and while not undeservedly, the more subtle things that went on outside the South deserve attention too. Racist housing policy (for instance) isn’t quite as visceral as church bombings, lynchings, to be…
It was in response to the comment about (almost always white) people complaining “why can’t they just speak perfect english” about people of color, generally in terms of immigrants. They, of course, are certainly “not racist” according to their own opinion - they just have racist attitudes.
