Life on earth functions on the economy of suffering. Humanity is just REALLY good at it

Tldr: press = cowards

To be fair they were fine with the genocide that was happening before they picked up the pace

Better than being sterilized tho

Can't really fault them. Not like it was the safest place to live before he became dictator

Debatable. Unfortunately ppl equate wealth with intelligence. Honoring the rich isn't only an American problem

Currently living outside the US expat is primarily used by anyone not brown regardless of how long they're staying

What is dumber than watching something completely broken fail but choosing to do it anyway?

I find the issue with hardcore atheism is the certainy of a lack of God in a scientific sense instead of an philosophical sense. Also the organization, dogma, and a sense of hierarchy in regards to authorities on atheism.

That being said the amount of atheists who subscribe to the religion isn't the root of all evil but false vs religion is the bane of all existence, is probably the same statically to jihadist and westboro baptist church

I have no kids. Dudes just an idiot

Ppl like to gloss over this. I challange you to find a US president who wasn't a war criminal and he was no exception.

Carter’s administration providing aid to Zairian dictator Mobutu to crush southern African liberation movements; financially supporting the Guatemalan military junta, and looking the other way as Israel gave them weapons and training; ignoring calls from human rights activists to withdraw support from the Suharto dictatorship in Indonesia as they carried out genocide in East Timor; refusing to pursue sanctions against South Africa in the United Nations after the South African Defence Forces bombed a refugee camp in Angola, killing 600 refugees; financing and arming mujahideen rebels to destabilize the government of Afghanistan and draw the Soviet Union into invading the country; and providing aid to the military dictatorship in El Salvador, despite a letter from Archbishop Oscar Romero – who was assassinated by a member of a government death squad weeks later – explicitly calling for Carter not to do so.

Jesus christ I thought r/atheism was bad. Anything religion related gets you ppl foaming at the mouth

Remember the solider who escaped by crashing the border? Dude was infested with parasites and malnourished. My guess is the only military personnel living well are no less than a General

Toddlers are idiots with no sense of self preservation. All it takes is a single second for then to wander off. Parents aren't robots that can monitor them 24/7

I honestly don't understand why you have such an issue with the guy being happy about not knowing about certain pieces of popculture or any information.

I actively avoid shit like celebrity gossip/dating, fox News, and Bill Maher and if ppl in my social circle started talking about it my first instinct we be to tell them I don't want to know

They saw the New Deal raise millions out of poverty and want to bring it back.

I'm not so sure about that

I'll agree with that some what. FLCL in my top 5 and paranoia agent was great but the 90s and 80 was more consistent with higher quality anime

The evidence abounds: A “Medicare for All” single-payer system would guarantee comprehensive coverage to everyone in America and save money. Christopher Cai and colleagues at three University of California campuses examined 22 studies on the projected cost impact for single-payer health insurance in the United States and reported their findings in a recent paper in PLOS Medicine. Every single study predicted that it would yield net savings over several years. In fact, it’s the only way to rein in health care spending significantly in the U.S.

I'm going to sound like an old ass, hating, "In my day things were better" gruff but anime before it got popular was better. I feel it's gotten a lot more corporate. Themes in anime have gotten so safe and Shonen has completely taken over all other catogories. I feel you don't get the popularity of anime like cowboy bebop, Ghost in the Shell, or EVA today because there's no marketable character mascots or easily digestible story telling. It reminds me of music in the 90s. LeSs experimentation and creativity and more "WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO SELL MERCHANDISE!"

That being said I acknowledge how much merchandise EVA sold so it's not completely black and white

Yeah because we all know everything that happened to black/brown ppls parents suddenly stopped after MLK and their kids aren't getting pipelined into prison or killed by police anymore.

And we should all definitely trust WASPs even though they were the largest voting block responsible for voting in a facist whos campaign ran on making everything harder for lgbtq, black and brown groups very existence. But hey they're happy a CEO got killed so let's just stick our heads in the sand
