Something to consider. You say that what the South did was treasonous. What about the Colonists then? They rose up and separated from King George. The South had separated from the North/Union. Not really a difference there.

You didn't exactly think too hard about this, did you?

Agreed. I don't hate Cena he's good sucks WWE misused him. Making him turn heel against the little kids would have been golden. Vince did it with Austin but making Austin into a shitty funny heel was crap. Very bad choices.
Maybe it wasn't a good business move, but I still love the "Heel" Austin as he did some legitimately funny shit during that time. Plus, Austin was a legitimate enough actor to make you believe he was conflicted about a lot of the stuff he did during that period.

Cena definitely earned a good push, he connected with the younger audience and the female audience in a really big way. I'm just not sure you give him the "Rock/SCSA sized-push" the WWE gave him lol.

Booker T losing after that build is one of the most egregious things they've ever done. You don't build up implications of racism for a feud like that (having Triple H call out his time in prison, saying "people like you don't become champion, call him an entertainer to dance and show off for everyone, etc)....only to have Triple H be the one to go over.

Even if Booker T was a bad or mediocre wrestler - which he is absolutely is not - that was still a fucked up thing to do.
Like many problems with the WWE, you can thank HHH's massive, over-inflated ego for that one. I mean, and everybody in the writing room and upper management being too spineless to stop it from happening.

The Union had the resources to overwhelm them, they just lacked the leadership until Grant took over. Had Lee accepted the offer to lead the Union army it wouldve been a much shorter war,
It's pretty amazing how often the Union failed to strike decisive blows in the war prior to Grant just strictly because the Union generals in the East were too timid to push their advantage, and this was AFTER Lincoln was begging his generals to be more aggressive. More than many wars the difference in military leadership played a HUGE role in the American Civil War.

Gonna be real, the first couple seconds of the video, you can see that the kid's hands are near the downed officer's throat, so the punches could be seen as justified to get him to stop.
However, once that civilian grabs the kid's right arm, he no longer becomes a threat, meaning the following punches are excessive force and he should be fired and brought up on charges of assault.
If someone is "rape" choking another person it is pretty easy to pry their hands away from the top officer's position by just going two hands on one, which also transitions into cuffing. The strikes are just wasting time and beating up a black teen.

Unless the suspect already struck one of the officers prior to the video, I don't see any amount of striking as reasonable force here, let alone the 7 or 8 strikes the officer on top did. Even then, considering the suspect was largely contained by this point and the officer on top could have clearly cuffed him but chose not to, I'm not sure there's any justification possible here.

Charge the officer and kick him off the force.

Lol dropshotting is barely an issue in WZ. Plus, it's at least realistic to drop prone when taking incoming fire. They could probably tweak the initial aim instability a bit, but considering so much combat in WZ is midranged the dropshot isn't some major exploit. Also, the inherent stability bonus for most guns for being rpone is MUCH lower in this game compared to past CODs unless you use a bipod attachment. Consistently placing high in WZ usually comes down to:

1. Having a good headset. Kind of lame that it's almost a necessity, but it really does make it a more immersive experience so at least the tradeoff is fair.

2. Having good ADS gunplay. Obvious.

3. Making sound tactical decisions at every moment, especially when playing with teammates. I can't tell you the number of times me and my buddies have gotten easy team wipes just by using basic suppression and flanking tactics.

4. Excellent awareness.

Once you get to the final circle your awareness and gunplay become even more crucial as things start getting spicy and chaotic.

The bunny-hopping is stupid though. I don't even know if it's optimal most of the time since the ADS accuracy and recoil stability for most guns is great, but I do know it looks and feels awful. If you're concerned about it, the best way to counter it in WZ is just create distance when engaging in gun fights. Bunnyhopping is useless outside of close-range, so disengage and get a good overwatch position when applicable. Or setup good ambushes.

Overall, I liked Lost a lot, and I think a lot of people didn't catch just how much they actually explained about the mysteries of the Island. The only big things that weren't really explained were what the actual source of the Island's power was and how it came to be, but once you accept that as the realm of metaphysics or "mythology", all the other big notes were explained in pretty good detail.

Uh, no. Without qualifiers, the statement "they were dead the whole time" to any rational person would imply that at the end it was revealed they were dead for the entirety of the show. If someone were trying to communicate they were dead for only the last season, they would specify "only the last season" to avoid confusion.

racing on a track or getting a NASCAR career or whatever is not the same thing as laughing about people trying to find something you hid in the wilderness and then watching people die. and people are more likely to die hunting the savage wilderness than safely racing on a NASCAR track.
Alright, so first off you are already assuming malicious intent without proving it. It's pretty clear from the author's actions and words that the entire point of this was to encourage people to experience and enjoy nature more. Again, you're piling on dumb reasoning on top of your already dumb reasoning. This is proof that you are inherently biased against the author of this, which already undermines any statements you may make.

Second, far, FAR more people die in vehicle accidents every year than in the wilderness. Car accidents are one of the leading causes of death in the United States. While we don't have good per capita estimates of actual death per 100,000 participants for motorsports, we can probably safely assume that it is an inherently dangerous activity. How did you reach the conclusion that exploring the wilderness is more dangerous than motorsports? Did you just assume it is? Are you just blindly using your intuition? I'll give you a hint: You did, and I know you did.

So if you think advocating exploring the wilderness through a financial interest should be a criminally liability, but advocating motorsports through a financial interest should NOT be a criminal liability, you have to demonstrate where the reasonable cut-off is for death or injuries per year per 100,000 participants is, as well as prove that motorsports is below that cut-off, but exploring the wilderness is not. What level of danger is okay to advocate for, and what level is not? If you can come up with a better standard that can be applied equally across all jurisdictions, I'd love to hear it. If you cannot come up with a reasonable standard that can be applied consistently to all advocate activities, then you are just blindly reacting to something without any rationale.

Even beyond that, though, I would argue that it violates basic human rights and our 1st Amendment protections to make it illegal to advocate for experiencing the wilderness. How much of a narrow-minded cartoon villain would you need to be to criminalize advocating experiencing nature just because there is some inherent danger in it? Talk about bad optics.

"Man who writes book teaching people how to legally race vehicles safely indicted on manslaughter charges after car crash at race track"

If we extrapolate this degree of liability to other facets of life it quite clearly becomes silly. Maybe put even a modicum of thought into shit before you spew garbage takes.

It literally just scales everything up to the most ridiculous levels.

Tens of thousands of planets.
Quadrillions of humans.
Battle that kill millions on a regular basis.
9 feet tall super humans wearing tank armor shooting exploding rocket bullets into orcs that don't die when half their body is eviscerated.
Ships the size of moons.
Planet devoruing swarms of aliens.
The most horrific and grotesque torture and mutilation under the reign of Chaos.
The super-atheist Emperor of Mankind becoming a god to humanity.

Just nutty shit turned up to 11 constantly. It's pretty rad. 1d4chan.com has a often funny wiki for WH40K that, while not super accurate, is great for gripping the absurdity of the whole thing. The big problem with the setting is that the "canon" for the setting has almost no editorial oversight whatsoever. That means that the many authors that have written for the setting can, and usually do, introduce concepts and "facts" to the Universe that are completely impossible or contradictory to previous "lore". Try... Not to take it too seriously, because of that. Just enjoy the parts of it that you enjoy.

Most Western countries don't need this kind of police reform in any serious way, and those that do (Like China and the U.S.) are probably not going to change much by the time this dies off unfortunately, especially not China. Look at the Government. Do you think anything is coming from the President or the Republican Senate to fix any of this? Have you heard ANYTHING other than that occasional city or state official giving lip service? Not to mention that most the states have too many Republicans in power to enact any real change anyways. It's nice to be optimistic, but the country is and has been held hostage by boomer's who's brains have been posioned by Cold War era Nationalism and Capital Worship for decades.

I would rate his first two albums as significantly better, but I don't think any album in his collection is more depressing than this one--Even without the meta-context of the album. Alternatively, I could just put Elliott Smith - Discography.

ANOHNI- HOPELESSNESS

Anhoni's first album after officially transitioning, it's also a completely new blend of more industrial and electronic instrumentation. Talks a lot about the real, horrifying issues of the 21st.

Baths - Obsidian

Excellent electronic album. Written during and after he had been battling a long-term illness for many months, Baths puts together a barrage of assaulting then gentle songs that deal with existential dread, suicide, and failed gay relationships.

Bright Eyes - Letting Off the Happiness/Lifted or The Story Is In the Soil...

Connor Oberst just wrote a lot of sad songs during the early and mid 2000s. Songs about suffering, despondency, suicide, the flaws of modern life, obsession, or addiction. Listen to that lad wail.

Father John Misty - I Love You, Honeybear

Great for that sardonic, devil may care attitude we all have sometimes. Mostly just an album of him ranting about how fucked up or ridiculous being a particpant in this wildly self-destructive rat-race is.

GSY!BE - Allejuah! Don't Bend! Ascend!

Four lengthy tracks of droning sadness and desolation.

Have A Nice Life - Deathconsciousness

A nice metal album that I find actually connects well in depressive moods. An album that deserves to be taken seriously, or at least more so than most in the genre.

U.S. Girls - Half Free

Don't know what it is about this album, but it feels like someone shouting into the void to me. Maybe more up-tempo than more conventionally depressing albums, but it contrasts well with the heart of the subject matter.

I don't see how this is wrong. It's not even just America protesting and rioting. This shit is going on all over the world.
Because it's a matter of domestic policy of one country. Comparatively, there's probably going to be wars that cost hundreds of thousands of lives, massive resource shortages that cause world wide rioting, international disputes with massive economic consequences, governments that are entirely overthrown or destroyed, ect. This isn't going to be as big as even the Civil Rights Movement of the 60s or U S. Women's Suffrage in terms of impact, and as far as their impact on world history as a whole those are both pretty small events.

It's just an ignorant, Americentric thing to say. Truely defining moments are things like the dissolution of the English colonial empire, the World Wars, the rise of Communism, the Internet, Automobiles, Electricity, ect. This is just another instance of civil disorder in response to some injustice, it happens a few dozen times a century.

If every leader was more concerned with their own safety rather than making a difference, we would have no great leaders in history.

Perhaps ask yourself why these random people feel the need to go out and scrub federal buildings. It isn't their job or responsibility, there actually are people whose jobs it is to do this so it's not like they are doing some altruistic act...this is 100% about them being defiant towards BLM
Maybe they have a right to be defiant towards BLM if your concept of BLM is to vandalize public space. If people were to spray paint all the buildings around where I lived and making it look like shit I'd be a little annoyed too.

Like, where am I allowed to draw the line for the behavior?

Oh, they only protested a little and left garbage all over my city's main thoroughfare. It's a good cause though.

Oh, they only rioted a little and smashed the windows of my favorite small businesses, and spray painted graffiti all over the place. I'm sure their insurance will cover all those damages.

Oh, they only broke into all the local businesses and stole all their merchandise, driving them out of business. At least they're sending a message.

Oh, they've only ruined the valuation of the house that I've owned from 10 years by destroying the local neighborhoods and driving commerce from the area, effectively costing me tens of thousands of dollars unless the local housing market recovers in the next 5 years before I want to move again (Historically speaking, it won't!). Can't be too mad at them though, they have a good point.

Bullshit. Shitty behavior is shitty behavior, and if you're shitty behavior causes you to garner hate, it's not because people hate what you stand for, it's because people hate what you're actually doing. I have empathy, so I feel very deeply for the protestors speaking out against police violence, and my heartbreaks whenever those riot gear-clad thugs beat down protestors with night sticks, but we don't have to pretend that horrible things are suddenly not horrible just because the protestors are the ones doing it. That's how Republicans rationalize their horrible corruption. We don't need to do that.

if it says black lives matter than go ahead. I'd leave it up and show my support.

Actually though I don't own a car and I live in an apartment
If you think it's okay for other's to deface property just because it aligns with your political views, then you have a seriously warped and short-sighted view of things, not to mention a, frankly, pathetic disregard for the personal property of others. If you cannot treat other's property with respect, then none of your property deserves a mutual respect.

Kan't really get behind either side here. Fuck the Karen, but is "It's a federal building" the only excuse they got?
Why would they need more excuse than that? It's fucking graffiti. You people are acting like how flag worshippers get when someone burns a flag. Get over yourselves. It's some ugly spray paint on a wall.
