In their defense, there are no stupid questions in this community.
…Although yeah that is hella repetitive. If I’m looking at their history right they haven’t talked about a single other thing for the last 3 months. Not even comments or a random
You uh, you doing a study or something Hickak? There an answer you’re looking for specifically?
I really struggle to see a unilateral mobilization and that the US military truly goes through with it.
Especially when foreign assets are getting absolutely left stranded by Trump, programs are getting gutted (he hasn’t touched the VA, yet) and everyone who helped after 9/11 were getting shafted by their government in terms of Healthcare.
If you take away the rather potent motivators of “national security and safety or preventing terrorism” I think you’re gonna get a lot more of a strike from soldiers. Unless you can somehow believably apply that to canada.
If it’s twice, it’s not a random twitch or awkward wave. He sieg heiled the front and the back
I don’t even think it’s an exclusively male thing. It’s just getting harder and harder to meet people and mingle. Men are just feeling it harder and sooner.
It’s harder to meet people now. I think part of it is:
That people used to be bored. You would make entertainment where you could find it, and two bored people can rapidly get entertained. Now you have a phone that makes you not bored, and de-incentivizes face to face interaction.
There used to be more places where people interacted. Masons, elk lodge, unions, they would often serve alcohol at events, for dirt cheap. They were known as third places, somewhere other than work and home. One thing I hear from a lot of smokers is that the smoking areas are where people hang out to talk, and they do. It’s where conversations happen at a club. It gives you something to do when you’re not talking, a reason to stand somewhere close to people, and a perfect excuse to jump into a conversation. It’s kinda infuriating that it also shaves two minutes off your life -_-.
People have less time. Younger generations are working multiple jobs, gigs with unpredictable hours, often times having commutes of an hour which turns a 9 to 5 into an 8 to 6, and spending all their vacation hours on the shit that has to be done on a weekday like the DMV or the like. How are you supposed to make a friend when schedules differ so much that a spreadsheet is required to make it work?
I mean, I feel like you’re being a bit derivative. I would put it more towards desperation than stupidity. Why does someone stay with an abusive partner? Biden was of the stance that “things are getting better” and… they’re not.
I always considered trump’s victory as sign that the democrats were just… that flaccid and unpalatable. It’s like you have a partner who sucks. They pay their share of rent, they expect you to do all the cooking and cleaning, they don’t even bother to understand you and get pissy that a random bouquet of whatever flowers on sale doesn’t magically fix an argument and make your loins quiver.
You fall instead to this gorgeous individual who knows how to flirt and makes you feel like the world can be easily fixed and now you’re locked in their basement about to lose an arm.
It’s desperation that makes people take risks, listen to people they shouldn’t listen to.
