Older cars also looked nicer. Yes our cars are better, and I will probably never own a classic car. The Chevrolet Bel Air looks way better than any car built in the last 10 years, and it's a metal death trap.

The worst part is that he's the wealthiest person to ever exist. He has more than enough money to help. He could be telling everyone in his employment to begin to undo the mess he made, but he won't. He may donate a few million to a charity (that he owns) to build up some good will with the poors. The people he pays to be around him will tell him what a saint he is, caring for the poor. He'll feel good about himself again. While millions of children still die.

And I clearly see at least three people and evidence of two more. I get it, they're going after that Backrooms vibe but it fell a little short.

It could be because most independent Manga artist want the exposure and won't enforce their copyright as rigoursly. Whereas a publishing company already has the exposure and wants to control their IP and will enforce their copyright. Especially because to hold a copyright the owner needs to defend it.

Yeah even on ST: Lower Decks all the Starfleet characters were officers. If any show was going to showcase noncoms in Starfleet you'd think it'd be ST: LD. Perhaps you could count most of the mawquee crewmembers in ST: Voyage as noncoms. Except that Voy is an exceptional case

My dude, how do you know OP isn't doing anything? I mean odds are they aren't but neither you nor I know that. You're right, a few nice words doesn't absolve an American from anything. The only thing that will is cutting MAGA from their government like a tumor but we shouldn't be punishing people who are claiming to help. I get the desire to unload all the frustration we feel from America on an American but it doesn't help.

I'll leave you with this, why hurt someone who is trying to be an ally? What does that accomplish? Critisizing an ally is okay and good. What does striking an ally do other than drive them away?

It may feel to you that when you're with your people everyone is against Trump. From the outside looking in, there are more people who support Trump than oppose him, and there are many times more people who are in neither camp and just accept that this is what the world is. That vast majority of Americans think that democracy only happens once every four years.

Worked on both sides, some people are just email coordinators but often times what's actually happening in the office is planning. I've worked in manufacturing so the planning is forming contracts with suppliers for raw materials, planning the logistics of getting those raw materials from the supplier to the plant, scheduling time for PMs, scheduling people's shifts to process the raw materials, negotiating with customers, planning the logistics of getting the finished goods to your customers, ensuring compliance with governing body's, arbitrating employee grievances, ensuring that you're meeting the requirements of the industrial insurance policy, develop improvements to the processes, ensure compliance with corporate, audit the systems for improvement, maintain health and safety, manage budgets for literally everything the company does, and that's just off the top of my head. A good office in manufacturing at least isn't noticeable because everything is done and ready for production when they need it.

Because they're in a race against each other that they can never win. Elon Musk may have gotten a little wiggle room from his competition when SpaceX went public but you can bet your ass (cause I know all of you don't have a dollar to waste) Larry Page is running his brain ragged trying to think about how he becomes the most powerful one. It's just a pissing contest and unfortunately they're really careless

Naw dawg, when I do a good thing I want people to notice. Not so that I get a reward or social credit for doing something nice. Fuck that. I want to normalize doing nice things. I want people to talk about the nice thing I did, then when they have a chance to do something nice they remember me and pass it forward. I want someone else to benefit from my kindness and for that act of kindness to propagate forward.

This is why I say that "The kids will be alright." For fucks sake every generation has said that the younger ones will never make it. The kids today are the smartest ever not the dumbest. They just don't value the same things that we did and honestly, great. Leave my crap alone, figure out your own crap.
