Many Americans don't to be like us either, but we seem to be losing.

It's truly the most reddit of instances. And yet, here I am.

Ignoring the past doesn't mean it didn't happen, or that it has no bearing on the present. "Somebody else did it so the generational inequity is fine actually" is a terrible argument.

I don't mind the idea of mandatory service to one's country, but "military" should be optional. I'm sure there's loads of important infrastructure projects that need doing, environment cleanup, various jobs to instill a sense of ownership and belonging while doing measurable good.

The inverse is more impressive to me.

But it can be defeated by trying slightly harder. Multiple characters, inconsistencies, adding slang and loanwords, the same tricks we've always used to get around censors and oversight.

Of course we'd have to keep it out of their training data and constantly change it... cyberpunk future is exhausting already.

Humanity was forged by a hostile world and we've been pushed to the brink of oblivion at least once. We adapt. I probably live too close to a major population center to survive the initial hits or the first months of total collapse so that's a bummer, but I wouldn't just lie down and take it.

Those penguins have it coming.

Not very memorable? Yeesh. I could probably quote-along O Brother's entire length, and tbe soundtrack is phenomenal.

Unbreakable, The Incredibles, Chronicle, Logan, I may even defend Super.

Not treated poorly enough.

"Just lay down and let bad things happen forever, it's better to let a million people die than shoot a single villain."

"End of life care" is entirely optional. I'm not going to waste away in a hospital bed, that's for sure.

I suspect that Google Maps preemptively routes some percentage of drivers through alternate directions in order to ease congestion. (Because if Maps tells you that the obvious route will get you there in thirty minutes and it takes an hour then you're going to be mad at Maps)

Regardless of their route choices, Maps is always solid with ETA for me and it has access to a ton of traffic data.

I've got bad news about every country on Earth.

I played Yahtzee once and now I hustle back alley Craps foe drug money.

Your responses make you look like an overly-sensitive, humorless jagoff, hence the vote differential.

You can get good Texmex pretty much anywhere with with a hispanic population. Won't be as cheap as the South but still. There's a couple spots near me in the PNW that set up sketchy pop-ups on the sidewalk after dark but they got dope tacos al pastor and they are always busy.

Nah we just think you're a dick.

I'd rather be homeless than get paid to kill innocent people.
