The fact that America didn't want to join the war and was perfectly content to let its allies get bombed to rubble while the Catholic church denied the holocaust was happening is why people don't pretend that the USA was some big dick hero.
I think it was reasonable that the public viewed European conflicts with skepticism after the shit they pulled in WWI. It's the same mindset that lead to appeasement. Let's not pretend it was unique to the US.
I didn't say it was. I said that's why this kind of action movie view of Americans being humble badasses patiently waiting for some kind of provocation is bullshit.
Watching On Patrol Live right now , was thinking before I read this comment that some of these officers would get wrecked if it came down to it. But I do appreciate their bravery at the same time, even if they are just in it for a paycheck.
Being a cop doesn't make someone brave. A lot of bullies and cowards are cops. A LOT of them. They aren't in for the money, they're in it for the power they get to abuse and the misplaced hero worship they get from conservatives.
The US has the biggest prison industry on the planet, tortures and kills people in secret prisons, arrests journalists, has a massive history of running coups on other countries, while waging endless wars and you guys only vote for 2 parties that are both corrupt as hell. Your high bar is that Democrats act like they care about gay people.
It's too bad that you're getting downvoted for speaking facts. Things will never change if people aren't willing to acknowledge the crimes their own country has committed (of which there are MANY in America). It's no different from conservative states trying to remove discussions of slavery from public education curriculum.
I think it's about celebrating small victories. You can't hope for a silver bullet, one fix all type thing. If we're celebrating the White House endorsing LGBT peeps, let's at least for today focus on the fact that the country is on their side.
Pride flags at the White House are a beautiful thing to see, but it's hard for me to jump for joy when I live in Florida where monsters like DeSantis want my son and other queer people to stop existing.
Why the FUCK do we expect those guys to be good at shooting? If they were skilled marksmen, at least one of them would dead. Is this some American thing I‘m too European to understand?
It's because people online do nothing but judge and criticize others for things they themselves have little experience with. Most Americans think they're John Wick, but look like Steven Seagal. Our cops handle shootouts more or less the same way...the only difference is that they usually prefer to shoot at unarmed targets, so you don't see them running for cover as much.
I'm not sure if you've seen initial reviews of the EX30, but the interior is very sparse, and that was almost certainly the top trim. That car will probably be around 50k.
I hate the lack of buttons. I know people like the clean look of just a single screen instead of an array of buttons, but I have zero interest in swiping through a bunch of menus to operate simple functions of my vehicle. And that's not me being averse to technological advancement...it's me being practical and knowing how often electronics and software can bug out.
Same. My job has another location south of Seattle, and I would love to move there as soon as I can get transferred and find a house. It may take a couple years, though.
The description of a troll says that they will act as mercenaries for other groups if they are paid in food or treasure. What use does a troll have for treasure? They can't eat it. Even if all it would ever spend money on is food, it does contradict your assertion that a troll is a mindless killing machine.
None of these figures bear any relation to one another. They are completely meaningless, as they're obviously not adjusted for any outside conditions like air temperature, road surface, or wind.
Yeah, if the test conditions aren't controlled and disclosed, this comparison is utterly meaningless. Unless you're the "journalists" receiving compensation for skewing results, that is.
Wait until you see the hit rate in war. Where one is mentally more ready for a firefight that day. . . Obviously, it takes its toll on the mind, though.
Saw a cool video talking about how the high miss rate isn't always a result of poor training, but a lack of desire to hit. Especially in a setting with conscripted soldiers, like in Vietnam. It wasn't any sort of conscious objection...just...it takes a certain kind of mentality to want to kill. You can have a look, if you're interested:
“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
Always have, right from the jump. "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal..." unless they're black. Land of the free, baybeeee!
Very likely it was grandmother whale. Female orcas stick together their whole lives, like elephants, and teach the young what is and isn't food/a threat. That's a big part of why there isn't really any violence toward humans from orcas: it has to be taught.
It wouldn't have mattered. If it wanted to eat you, it would begin doing so before you even realized it was there. If it decided to kill you, it would very likely brutalize you for a while "for the lolz" until you were half dead/boring, and then it would eat you.
Jealousy and insecurity. The incels who rant about how attractive men and women get ahead in the world are most angry that they themselves are not attractive with an attractive SO.
My fatass is jealous, too, but I'm not knocking someone's hustle. If I was a size two, I'd be showing my bootyhole on OnlyFans, too. I do hate influencers, though.
I hate any vapid asshole who makes being famous and entitled their entire job/life. Doesn't matter if it's a yoga queen or an English queen. I'm sure your bootyhole has a lovely personality, though. 😄
So... where's the rest?
The Reddit CEO is witholding it from you!!
The Americans joined 4 years out of the 7 years lol. That's more than half.

Thank you! It's about more like other races' outlook on these races than anything else. :)
Where does your book, with its in-depth lore, stand on the common conceit that most half-orcs are the product of a nonconsensual interaction?

Pulling up on an accident with dead kids mutilated takes a little bit of bravery. Bet you couldn't do it.
Firefighters are brave. EMT are brave. Soldiers are brave.

I wondered the same... if you zoom in close, it turns out they're sandals.
I zoomed in and it doesn't look like sandals to me. She's got a bangle or something on one ankle (an angle?), But the "heels" look like claws.

Its size is what makes it so attractive for me at least. I have a GTI and was considering a Bolt maybe but this is more what I want.
There's nothing wrong with preferring a smaller car, but nobody should be expected to pay the same price for it as a larger vehicle.
Now I know I’m a goblin
What about a mind goblin?
I mean I get the protocol but the firemen have fire axes, that guy only has two sticks, just saying..
Is no my yob.
You think he didn't learn that at home?
Probably...but even Tom Hanks has a shitty kid.
I agree. And I currently live in Florida.
Same. My job has another location south of Seattle, and I would love to move there as soon as I can get transferred and find a house. It may take a couple years, though.

Sweet.
Or charisma. Or wisdom. Or anything other than a strength save, because your DM is about to turn you into your own party's worst nightmare.

It's definitely one of the most original takes on elves.
Even if they do look like gross tree aliens.

It's called a cloaca.

Perhaps there is a good reason he cannot be located.
He lives in a castle, and any time police try to use siege ladders to get over his walls, he shakes them down.

I know shit about whales but how TF did she just kept swimming? I'd have Jesused that water and walked my way to the shore

I mean, men created that market, so I don't know why men are always shitting on sex workers.
