I love raw onions on salad and some burgers/sandwiches. Usually red.

There are definitely some like that. The American system has a number of tricks to try to force people to do what they like as well though. Poverty, over policing of minorities, lack of social safety nets etc can cause people who grew up barely avoiding prison choosing military thinking the only choices they have are death or military, shoved at them when they’re too young to really know the world. Add education that specifically avoids or lies about what US actually does overseas, plus a bunch of jingoistic propaganda making being a soldier appear to be a respectable profession.

I grew up in a cult that avoided military so I never had those feelings myself, so I got to watch it from the outside, and even the pledge of allegiance every morning was weird jingoistic programming from early ages. It can be difficult to see past that at 17. I’m not saying they don’t deserve any punishment, but I do disagree with the idea that every single one wanted to kill people.

Honestly most do not. Plenty of parking lots I go to (mostly supermarkets) don’t have these and people park fine, 90% of the time. People do take advantage and drive across when leaving and entering sometimes, but usually that isn’t an issue either

On the other hand,I still remember trying to go to the movies with friends in a busy shopping plaza and some asshole with huge tires on his truck parked in a way that took up 4 whole parking spaces. I wanted to key up the truck. I wanted super powers that would let me move it to the lake, upside-down. That was like 12-15 years ago and it still makes me irrationally angry a bit.

I doubt these would have stopped that particular truck, but like many seemingly dumb rules, they aren’t for the majority. They’re for the occasional asshole who refuses to abide by the social construct. America certainly panders to those with the whole focus on individualism, but it hardly has a monopoly.

That works much less in an interconnected world (part of why they hate globalism). There are other countries keeping tabs as well. It’s also why we know of the many atrocities committed by the US worldwide. They can try and hide what they can, but it’s much harder these days.

Sir/madam/???, this is a community called Reddit. This specifically is where people would care(though I agree with the sentiment).

In addition there are unfortunately a lot of solutions on there. I’ve uninstalled reddit a long time ago and don’t browse/scroll it, but for specific topics and especially IT stuff I sometimes find solutions there. I may find em on stack exchange or any of the other various sites, including company forums, but sometimes Reddit will have the right solution. I’d rather it not since it seems to perform even worse these days, but it’s the unfortunate truth

I work for a managed service provider, and security for our clients is one of our most important goals.

Our CEO accidentally got phished then sent out emails to all our clients. We rolled with it by explaining kinda what you just said.

I never really got to use good mechanical pencils so I don’t know much except… Not 7.

I’m reading this on my 8" Onn right now … (I normally use a fold but my screen finally failed, and I like having a large screen for reading, be it books, manga/manhwa, or Lemmy). I used to be into flashing a while back but I haven’t bothered recently. I agree it’s a good idea, but it’s low on my current list of stuff I need to get done. (Like moving from Windows to Linux on my main pc).

Edit I do have the Amazon one also, but explaining why I bought the Onn when I already have a Fire HD 8 is just going to make me look worse…

Or in the case of Destiny and FFXIV:

Organic may have. It gets people both on tge right and tge left, people who want more natural and less science/additives/pesticides, etc.

Often called woo woo stuff, it’s generally alternative to mainstream stuff, and can be harmless, or could be Goop, Alex Jones stuff, anti modernity etc.

Vegans and environmentalists can also sometimes take those feelings to extremes also, though we should never blame the whole movement on that.

An example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savitri_Devi

Her motivations to turning to fascism looks to have been at least helped by her passion for animal rights, as lots of people in Europe still tortured cats at the time and she kinda hated people for it.

Lots of Christian types aren’t catholic, so wouldn’t care what he said.

God Awful Movies. They have other Podcasts too but I’ve mostly only listened to their comedy ones and not as much their serious ones. Citation Needed (not Citations Needed) is another comedy one from them, where they use mostly Wikipedia to research a subject poorly.

Makes her rich. She knows racism, as she’s had to sue successfully in the past, but it’s easier to get money this way. There’s this podcast where atheists make fun of bad Religious movies (mostly Christian, with a few Jewish, Hindu, scientology, culty, and just plain weird Woo/conspiracy ones) and they are constantly surprised how bad they are yet still profitable.

They joke about just switching sides for the payout. Some people don’t have enough standards to not do so.

Yeah, but if you want more people to talk about it with you should link it anyway, so others can try it out.

I can’t tell my hours, because I left it open while doing other stuff, and overnight etc. Same with Ark. Both have 8k+ hourly, but FFXIV has more (but isn’t in steam for me).

Maybe, but it does say “Trump loving”, not Trump voting. I acknowledge and don’t hold too hard a grudge on people who don’t pay much attention and only vote on stuff they think will affect them. I still consider it selfish, but I will acknowledge some people have enough issues in their life to not realize how bad it could affect others.

For instance, one of my sisters friends voted for Trump in 2016 because she is a small business owner and thought he would be better for her business. I don’t know how she has voted since, and she’s a black mother in FL, so I hope she’s changed her mind.

Still, I have seen people make excuses for themselves that they have to be responsible for their employees as well etc etc, so someone with a not hateful mindset may make a decision those of us more informed or plugged into may realize is much worse for them either way.

Edit, forgot my original point. The above included I don’t think would be considered “Trump loving”, so I think by that statement she’s saying he loves more than just a policy or two.

I saw… killing joke? Whatever movie was made off of that. The Batman Batgirl Makeout was completely unnecessary and more than a bit disturbing.

The US always tries to do what they think others are doing. Half of their crazy ideas are because they heard a rumor and/or assumed the Soviets were doing it. Mind control, truth serums, ESP, cat spies.
