☝️A guy condemning prejudice and hate against a group of people then proceeds to make a prejudicial and hateful comment against a group of people.
E: I forget that this c/ is “fuck America and everyone in it”. If I point out hypocrisy or defend the idea that not everyone in the US is a shithead I get downvoted to hell.
The base = Al-Qaeda. That’s pretty much a direct translation. Republicans always going on about their “Base”…face it, they’re radicals. Extremists. From guns to religion to nationalism and even anti-vax. Just like the terrorist group they spent decades of war hating.
I don’t use AI search, use it for creating text, ask it to do things for me, or ask it questions. I actively avoid it. I actively distrust any AI search that automatically appears, and yes, I ABSOLUTELY verify facts and check sources when they’re presented to me or I make a good faith honest attempt at discussion. So yes, you’re correct, I don’t do those things. But nice attempt at an Appeal to Hypocrisy, dude.
We’re already at the point that many people post- millennials actively prefer AI, that preferencd increasing with younger age. They’re the new boomers consuming whatever information is placed in front of them with no corroboration, nuance or fact checking.
Never has a movie made me feel so uncomfortable for the characters sacrificing themselves for the grind. It’s good, but I don’t have much desire to see it again. A testament to the writing/acting/directing to keep the tension real.
Ah, yep. Forgot about them. Cyrus, Lohan…a ton of the popular girl stars from Disney and other entertainment types all suffered. I thing the singers suffered worse, and those backed by Disney’s publicity machine that put them in the public eye more often.
If the story and characters are well written and/or acted well enough to pull you in to the story you can certainly feel empathy and other feelings vicariously.
There is plenty of entertainment that does not pull the viewer/reader in, and you don’t particularly get “involved” with them.
I’d be curious what the line is for most people, what draws them in to a story emotionally to make that investment in a fictional character.
The worst ones off the top of my head were Spears and Emma Watson. Holy crap the sleazy press crowed when they turned “legal”. It was pretty gross. No shortage of sketchy leering photographs when they were under age, too.
Everyone’s given good airport advice, so I’ll offer some personal travel advice if you’re not a frequent traveler.
Keep your personal travel documents in a place you’ll remember in a bag close to you, under the seat in front of you. Same for any medications. Purse, tote, backpack, whatever, and make sure it’s in a place where it’s zipped up and won’t fall out of the bag when set down. This means your passport and any other ID, and even your bank cards and the like. This bag will not and can not be checked luggage. Make sure it conforms to carry on bag restrictions for the airline.
Do not carry important items in a disorganized jumble at the bottom of a bag. You don’t need that panic desperately digging for a passport, checking pockets, jackets, whatever, while freaking out that the item may be lost. Keep organized. You’re going long way and are going to be wiped out physically and mentally. Save yourself the stress.
Do NOT put anything in the seat back pocket. After hours and hours of stress of travel and fatigue you will be far, far more likely to forget you put something there. Phone, backup battery, itinerary, or heaven forbid a passport. I travel for a living and probably just over once every couple months the cabin crew find a passport or phone in a seat back or a passenger comes running back to the plane panicked looking for an important item.
Customs - make sure you don’t bring anything you’re not supposed to into another country. Some innocuous over the counter medications like decongestants based on stimulants are illegal and treated like illegal drugs to bring in to some countries. Check Korea’s laws for travelers before you depart.
Give yourself time to get through airports that are unfamiliar. This includes time to clear customs and security. This will also help reduce stress and give you time to recover from any missteps like showing up at the wrong terminal.
Is this a parody account? Sheeit. Got me. It’s insane that Trump is so shitty that I can’t tell the difference between what he might actually say and someone mocking him.
Dominance of this country is being fought over by a couple of petty 12 year old tyrants. It’s like a version of that Twilight Zone where the powerful kid is surrounded by people trying not to upset him, except the kids are drug-addled and senile.
Lol. Doing it again. No, that’s not what I said at all. But I guess if you’re jumping on the all Americans must die bandwagon too, knock yourself out.
