To be very clear I am talking about enlisting as a means to an end, not as an embrace of militaristic ideology or worship.
I don’t know I think that’s kind of a shitty thing to generalize about. Not sure where your located, but atleast here in the US there are plenty of folks who join the military at a young age to get themselves out of bad situations and try to correct the course of their life. Obviously there are a lot of people who join because of some dangerous nationalistic or racist ideals, but that structure and purpose can help some folks.
Apologies as this is off topic, but does anyone have suggestions for how to minimize the extremely intrusive advertising that kind of ruins reading articles like these? 2/3rds of my mobile screen is covered with ads. If it matters I’m on iOS and use Chrome for my default mobile browser. I’m aware of the privacy implications of those choices.
I haven’t noticed but being a Seattle fan has probably seriously desensitized me to recognizing that. Daccord really pushes the envelope in that regard.
I’m just learning about Pixelfed from your comment. Any suggestions on where to start or instances to subscribe to?
It’s definitely an issue of distracted driving rather than a lack of skills to drive adequately. Because of our lack of public transportation options compared to where I’m assuming you live, most folks have to drive to do most things. They also have to do this at the same time as everyone else, which makes driving a shitty necessity and overall poor experience. Now we have computers in our hands and can do something more enjoyable than pay attention to the road while you’re on your Thursday evening 1.5 hour commute home from work.
Personally I think that distracted driving violations should be treated the same way a DUI is.
Anyone watching via MAX? They’re doing this AWS Data Cast thing and I’m not trying to be grouchy but I do not like it.
I don’t totally understand how this chart is segmented and I’d challenge the accuracy of it. For instance, Oreo is a brand by Nabisco which is a subsidiary of Mondelēz but the chart shows Oreo and Nabisco in separate boxes.
Fun fact - the original lesser known Snakebite is a shooter of Yukon Jack and Rosie’s Sweetened Lime. The name was assumably stolen for the Guinness/cider combo
How would you like it if I quoted biblical passages to portray you as a fascist conservative US ultrachrist?
I think that would be really entertaining.
Up to 5 years for attempted manslaughter.
Really wish I still had my poop brown and green Zune.
You might be thinking of Fred Meyer, which is red.
No no no Troll Boy can’t be the winner.
I haven’t thought about S-Video in a while
Being aware of a car coming up behind you seems like it might be better than not being aware of a car coming up behind you, no?
