I used to obsessively watch this. Then I read memoirs of those in Iraq and noticed how single point of his system was an exploitation of every piece within itself. It's just all incredibly sad. American and Iraqi boys didn't need to die for any of this.

They're perfectly within Kascyznski's definition of "the over-socialized". They type that completely embraces their culture's mores and archetypes.

Also the same man who wrote,
"It is a shame we can't go in and detonate Germany and cut off a few of the [German] kids' hands and feet and scalp a few of their old men" in a letter to his fiance.
He was a cog more than willing to join the machine.

I worked as a poll worker for a few local elections, and I NEED you to understand that the average human being is barely a half-step above medieval peasentry.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) runs in my family and it honestly scares me. I had a Marine relative who used to run miles for fun and now he's relegated to a scooter; another who barely can hobble around at 42. All I can really do is prevent it, but nothing's guaranteed. A life.
Going through a harder time in life atm. Any prayers are appreciated. I've thrown negative energy into the universe and (rightly) am getting my due. Sometimes being "sorry" isn't enough. I don't know how to make recompense
Had to console a gym friend for a literal hour after he met some girl through Discord after months spent a week with her, lost his virginity, then got dumped that same week.

Watched it that opening Saturday and people in my audience audibly laughed seeing the Rey-Kylo kiss. Extremely small chance any of them had seen it by then and that was their gut reaction lmao
@ljabouttown
Everyone loves Lewis, but he really pulled off retelling a classic myth and spending an entire novel justifying the "logic of faith". It's a treasure
Last night, my uncle had a heart attack while driving, hit 4 parked cards, was pulled out of his car/resuscitated by a total stranger, AND had 2+ ribs broken the CPR itself.
He's okay now. Watching the stupid Olympics in a hospital ward.
