I irrationally hate the South: its music, its culture, its history, and its people.
This is tragically unfair of me and I admit that I'm embarrassed that I haven't quite shaken myself of that, but I will keep trying
That said, I'll listen to Johnny Cash all day every day
It's crazy to think how much better an already awesome show could have been without this fuckwit in charge.
Fuck this guy forever.
Their pattern indicates two dimensional thinking...
Don't worry, Kahn will save us.
I have decided that it is safe to assume that everyone is an idiot, including me, and behave accordingly: act deliberately with an open mind, making no assumptions, and remain curious.
Frank Herbert's Bene Gesserits had a tenet in which they remained mindful of the naivety of all people, including themselves, ostensibly to prevent allowing hubris to allow poor decisions.
Coming back around to my point: I think we'd all get along a lot better if we'd all agree we're all stupid, but we can get better.
I've had some of those and also some of the proprietary Tuya ones. The module has the same footprint so I ordered some ESP32 modules in the same form and used a hot air rework station to swap them. The modules are really cheap so I still come out ahead price-wise.
I enlisted in 1998 while things were quiet. Clinton got us a nice raise back then. Then 9/11 happened and the military was inundated with right wing "patriots" reacting to events and looking to kill uppity brown people. I saw the quality of recruits diminish as the military lowered standards to surge troop strengths to engage in an illegal war. I recently met someone who was in my old unit only a few years ago and I didn't recognize the Marine Corps he described.
Personally, being ordered to partake in an illegal war in Iraq after having just left Afghanistan in an unresolved state only strengthened my liberal beliefs. Going to other parts of the world and seeing what politicians and superpower governments do to people, and the amount unnecessary pain and suffering that takes place at the hands of ideologues and dogma, should radicalize anybody against fascists and right wing ideology. People who see and experience all that and return even more hateful and bigoted are psychopaths.
I am proud of my service and my conduct in it, even if I don't agree with the missions I was on. I would do it all again. I loved being a Marine. The only people you'll find me hating are fascists and religious radicals. THAT'S who I learned to hate in the military because that is where most human suffering came from.
It surprises some people that I'm a liberal veteran. I tell them that you can't go through that and see all that and not be a liberal, not if you have a heart and brain.
And to anyone I piss off with this opinion: You're just telling on yourself.
Misinformation. I don't care about masks anymore except for the sick and immunocompromised. This article is still lying tho. Could have just said, "Who cares about masks anymore?" But they had to double down with misinformation, changing it from an opinion to a deliberate attempt to harm people. I don't think the people who write these are stupid or misinformed. I think they are psychopaths who don't care who they hurt.
Weird. You don't think they would be suggesting that the US has the highest rate among countries of similar wealth? (/s)
If you understand that the high salary is to meet the high cost of living in the United States then you'll understand that it isn't a pay cut. Take that one step further and consider the fact that the higher cost of living does NOT come with a higher quality of life in the US.
Heavens help you if an ancient Greek or Roman author happens to have disliked you...
