Yes, one is recent, impacts the West directly and a bunch of white people and the other is Palestine.

Agreed.

My take is that it appears to be driven by mentality rather than whether somebody is an immigrant or not. People, immigrant or not who like putting in the work end up succeeding while those that complain or act entitled do not. It’s plain as day, nobody is going to give you a hand out so you have to work for it. Welcome to capitalism. It sucks, but get with it or you lose.

I’ve got successful immigrant and non immigrant friends and those that end up succeeding also end up being like minded. That said, I do think that, yes, immigrants more commonly have the “work hard or fail” mindset given their prior socioeconomic status typically ends up being unfavorable which serves as a catalyst for them.

I agree with entitlement becoming more and more common these days but that can also be attributed to people being generally more outspoken and having platforms to voice their concerns.

Considering how close they are standing, Picard’s definitely feeling a Q-Tip.

And I gave you the benefit of the doubt and actually removed my insult calling you an idiot for making the dim witted comment you made.

You see the difference a decent education makes? Good job on assuming my political leanings, which btw are not conservative, so you’re wrong there as well.

Calling you a fucking moron is probably an insult to the term “fucking moron”, but let’s leave it at that so that your room temp iq can comprehend at least this much.

Show me where I said “Americans and/or conservatives are fucking idiots”.

Lol, no. Been here 20 yrs, pull in great money as a sr software engineer in the valley and I still think America is the land of opportunities and call it home. I started with 0 dollars in my bank with a simple part time job that would pay me $7.25 an hour at my local community college.

Sometimes, you actually do need to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and work hard to get to where you need to be. I’ve seen a lot of entitlement around me and people complaining without doing much of anything to fix it.

Complaining and not doing anything about it isn’t unique to the US. That said, America still offers a ton of opportunities for those looking to succeed, and there’s a reason why the American economy commands ~28% of the world’s GDP. All things considered and if this admin stays in office for another term, I see the opportunities increasing even further.

He’s not your boy toy… Boiiii…. Toooooooiii

Yeah we used to shop there a while back, but kind of just stopped because we’ve gotten busier and have relied on grocery delivery more often + are shopping at local stores for fresher meat + produce.

The use case in my mind is a vending machine or at a grocery/convenience/mall/not costco store when all you need is one bottle. There’s only so many 24/36 packs folks can buy, especially when out and about.

TIL. Don’t shop at Costco too much.

Where tf do you find bottled water for 0.99c? It’s $2.50 everywhere.

Forgot about this feature. Thanks.

If it comes to iPads and Macs, paying $60 with the ability to access the game on different platforms + cloud saves may make it a compelling buy for the platform.

Now, if only Apple could beef up the AppleTV enough to be able to handle this game like a proper console (or at least close to it). It’d be an excellent experience given that controller support has arrived on all of these devices.

Asking the real questions here.

Good. We need more of it since the CCP has made a habit of targeting US infrastructure and civilian targets.

Taking bets on that one soon. I wonder if he is getting brainwashed by his own algos.
