| Topic | Afghan civilians fall off plane after clinging to it during take-off. |
| Lorenzo_2003 08/20/21 5:10:58 AM #145 | I very much doubt Biden will do this, but at the very least he should fire the generals who advised him on this action. Its a disaster. Im Ok with the US leaving because it was expected, but they apparently left behind thousands of non-Afghan citizens and Afghan allies without much security in place. Its going to take a long while to get them all out safely, although weve already seen allies die trying to escape in a panic. --- ... |

| Lorenzo_2003 08/18/21 4:50:49 PM #270 | To be honest, Im more surprised when a character is not played by a black actor. I think it makes sense because its the trend now and seems to be an easy out for studios, so theyre not criticized. --- ... |

| Lorenzo_2003 08/18/21 4:23:59 AM #57 | Master Kazuya posted... Honestly, maybe just give them a shot and see how they rule. I get the feeling that they are just relieved it's all over, they don't care to be actual bad guys. They genuinely seem like all they wanted was for people to stop invading their country. Now that they have the country, they wanna stay a country and it looks like they are willing to compromise. Good luck with that. We should check back in six months. --- ... |

| Topic | FEMALE Heman fan reviews MOTU revelations Netflix show |
| Lorenzo_2003 08/18/21 4:08:37 AM #9 | Jeff AKA Snoopy posted... * She both wants the series to adhere to its roots (she complained about how she felt they were forcing Teela to be an LBGTQ character) while also wanting it to deviate heavily from its campy roots. You can't have it both ways. You can't have the series be both adhering to its roots while also not. Wait, that example doesnt track. You can deviate from the original. You can have Teela, or really all characters, not be LGBTQ+. They arent inherently tethered to each other. * She complains about the series not being True, we dont know how this series will end and maybe He-Man and Skeletor will feature more later. I dont think itll happen in the next season, though. IIRC, Kevin Smith already mentioned that next season will --- ... |

I mean I wish you were right and in a perfect world you would be. But we are talking about millions of people who will be affected by this exit.

I agree with that. There has been a lot of military movement in the Pacific region over the last 10 years or so that have been troublesome. There are nuclear subs and carrier strike groups that have been consistently training in the area, and they dont do that for shits and giggles. --- ... |

With each example similar to this that piles up the rest of the world will rightfully recoil from the US. Since you brought up the world, what exactly is the United Nations or literally anyone else doing about this? I hope its not another strongly worded letter. --- ... |

Furthermore, the Court held that mandatory vaccinations are neither arbitrary nor oppressive so long as they do not "go so far beyond what was reasonably required for the safety of the public". Reasonably required Because of his refusal to get vaccinated, Jacobson was prosecuted and fined $5 (about $150 in 2020 dollars). It would be interesting to read what the current SCOTUS has to say about this, although some states such as Florida arent even looking at pursuing mandates anyway. --- ... |

| Lorenzo_2003 08/15/21 12:40:53 PM #34 | FortuneCookie posted... America lost the war and that's a sting to our pride, but we're out of danger. Nah, thats historical revisionism. You cant say US lost the war when they literally dismantled the ruling government and its armed forces, then controlled the nation for two decades. It was not American soil, so they were inevitably going to leave. They trained and supplied the local Afghan forces to protect their country, but apparently a lot of them dont really want to do that. --- ... |

You absolutely should not descend into any pit, for example, without testing the air with the proper equipment. At the very least, youre probably risking an OSHA violation, if its work related. RIP to those brothers. --- ... |

Well, yeah, there are levels to every game, especially if there is some kind of competitive aspect to it. A lot of people get triggered by the language used to describe those differences, but thats missing the forest for the trees because the words dont really matter. The takeaway is there are winners and there are losers. If youre a loser, then it probably is a bit disturbing that some are winning at a ridiculous level in a game that has rules that can change suddenly or were vague or questionable to begin with. --- ... |

| Lorenzo_2003 08/11/21 10:22:16 PM #8 | sabrestorm posted... Treat her like a friend for now ans see where it goes because ir sounds like she really needs a friend Your advice is for TC is to automatically put themself in the friend zone, when they specifically said they want to lick the womans forehead? TC, spend time with that woman and every time she brings up her ex, deflect and steer that conversation back to something the two of you could be doing instead. My go-to move with them was strolling the beach or a park that isnt crowded. Its light activity (i.e. easy) with fresh air and gets the blood flowing, so they always feel better. Being honest here, it was also inexpensive and got them willing to open up in more ways than one. Yeah, I had to put a little bit of effort in, but it worked often. --- ... |

No, I did not mean specifically sexual harassment. It is of course not the only type of corruption or abuse that exists. Sorry if I did not make that clear. Btw, I am not defending Cuomo. Call him out. Call them out. Thats not what happens though. And its inevitable IMO to have abuse, given a long enough period of time and the scope of power involved. --- ... |

| Lorenzo_2003 08/10/21 7:31:54 PM #18 | JimmyFraska posted... It's like he's signaling "They're gonna find my stuff next!" Meh, I know almost nothing about Alec Baldwin, but I think he hits on two fair points. First, the people who are actively seeking out the power of political office are often not the types of people we should be giving that power to. Philosophers have talked about this phenomenon for centuries and also how we should not be selecting our leaders through a popularity contest or by bloodline. Either way, our systems currently attract narcissists and other manipulative types. Second, its an open secret that our media and the two main parties in charge are very selective of which members they will go after. You have to toe the company line as well as not allow the public to perceive of any wrongdoing, even though we are all adult enough to know there are all kinds of wrongdoings occurring wherever politics and politicians congregate. I seriously doubt anyone is immune to this, given the nature of humans and politics, so through a long enough period of time you can eventually see their improprieties bubble to the surface. And with our ever-growing, 24/7 media and surveillance capabilities, it gets harder and harder for them to hide it. Even internationally, China, for example, maintains or at least tries very hard to maintain an iron grip on China-related communications inside and outside its borders. --- ... |
