I was going to mention how “first world problems” this is, but then noticed it’s in mildly infuriating.

Same thing, basically.

I once dropped a water bottle out of my backpack, and couldn’t find it when I retraced my hike, but I did start noticing tons of trash everywhere.

So I started keeping a trash bag in my backpack, and filling a small bag every time I hike.

I may not have found my bottle, but I’ll make sure I clean up more than I left every time I’m out.

I’ve had plenty of times where I get home and empty my pockets of the trash I accumulated with no can nearby.

And if I try to put something in a can and it falls out, I’m taking it with me because I didn’t succeed in throwing it away.

Shrugging ans saying “well I tried” as you walk away isn’t even trying.

Sweet!

I’ve never been able to get into them, but I’m definitely buying this as a gift for someone.

Yes, that’s why I have no arguments against the “no jobs” part.

ve never been to a rural area of the country, have you?

I’ve lived in them almost exclusively.

Assuming you spend $10 on avocado toast every day, as well as $75 on eating out for every meal, $20 for Starbucks, and ALSO assuming you have $150 worth of monthly subscriptions:

It will take you 25 years to save one million dollars. That’s assuming you never get sick, never lose a job, never need to buy a car or have major repairs, or basically any kind of surprise expense or setback that could wipe out savings.

To be the richest person on earth, you would need to save that money every year for over 6 MILLION YEARS

If it’s boring, then so are you. There’s plenty to do in the country, just not much that involves “going to crowded places and spending ridiculous amounts of money on things that would be 20x cheaper at a regular store”

No argument on anything else though…

Comments like this are one of a few things.

Bad faith, and useful idiots intentionally trying to keep people from wanting to go out and vote, which only helps MAGAts.

And dumbass, blind as shit privileged people who think nothing has changed in the last decade because you’re simply not part of the target groups yet.

Life is so much worse for so many people because of Trump and to pretend like it wouldn’t get worse with a second presidency (you know, the one where they intend to destroy democracy and the voting process and have said as much and have documents detailing how they plan to do it) is simply idiotic.

I encourage people to steal non-physical things all day every day.

Sail those high seas!

People seem to think that the UN is a military force that is supposed to go in and secure democracy around the planet…

It’s basically a chat room for all the countries to talk for everyone to hear. That’s 99% of its job. And it does it quite well.

The problems occur when individual members decide “nah we don’t give a shit about the UN right now” and usually it’s the big ones that ignore it. Russia, US, UK, etc

Honestly there isn’t a legitimate reason.

Tldr “tradition” and insecurity, probably.

There was once a issue with Cuba a long time ago, but that got resolved and the US just decided to keep punishing Cuba as, in my opinion, a warning to other neighbors who would dare oppose it. “help out our opponents and get smothered”

The only reason it’s continuing is because of weak administrations thinking that admitting people who ran the country in the past were wrong somehow makes them or the country look weak.

Honestly the only thing that seems weak to me is continuing to kick someone who’s been down for decades but still manages to find areas to flourish and be better than the “superpower” that’s kicking it.

I have a WILD idea on how to reduce the growth of that statistic to 0.

What if, and bear with me here…

What IF… We stopped sending Israel weapons and armor.

dine on the flesh of Christians

Hard pass.

Too much fat, I’m on a diet.

It could be a sign they’re gearing for all out war economy in preparation of a massive offensive on multiple fronts…

Or it could be a sign their already not great corruption-riddled military absolutely screwed the pooch in terms of (not) maintaining things and pocketing the money, and now to compensate for what needs replaced as well as current losses, a large portion of their economy has to be diverted in order to keep from being completely demolished on the front lines.

In no way does that mean “Russia is facing imminent defeat”, just that they have to focus on making guns and ammo to replace what’s being lost and can’t focus on other things right now.

Legit, my old job required a 90-day change, and I once logged into a system I could do monetary damage on with ease, because I took a guess at my manager’s password based on how long it had been since he told it to me during an emergency.

He did what every single person I spoke to did. “password 01” changed to “password 02” and I just tried twice, and sure enough he had changed it three times since he had told me.

While I wouldn’t be ruining the company as a whole, I could have easily fucked over the individual location because scheduled password changes just ensure people use predictable passwords.

Oh is it time for another final warning again?

Damn, lost a bet. I thought for sure it would be at least two weeks.

Well I mean… I sure hope not. I personally don’t see any reason to think it’s anything other than China trying to gain support from nations that are on the fence or don’t care about them, which to be clear is not a bad thing. They’re free to pursue any relations they desire, and the other nations are free to do the same. Hopefully the politicians involved are truly working for the betterment of both countries.

That said, the person making the shady deal would clearly say “it’s not a shady deal”, and the person duped by aforementioned shady deal would obviously not want to admit being duped by said shady deal. So everyone involved has every reason to say this anyway.

In other words: a lot of words to ultimately say nothing. Much like this comment.
