Right now I feel like human society is about at the 'getting stabbed non-fatally' level. You're gonna live, but getting stabbed sucks.
so far as i am concerned the "New 52" is basically the most hideous malformed miscarriage of a decent idea I have ever seen
like
there have been worse ideas in the world
but I'm not sure if I ever seen what should have been a good idea fall apart so utterly.
Yeah, one great thing about my masters is I spent a lot of time with folks not from the US. Talking to people from completely different countries and societies on a daily basis really does change your perspective on things such as identifying as a patriot in public. Especially when some of the people you interact with on a daily basis are from places like Iraq and Iran. Or a whole list of South American countries and so on where acts of aggression have been taken under the guise of fighting communism, patriotism and so on.
lots of stuff to get excited about broheim. ain't just terrorists and homophobes.
Under the clippers
Shave it all off, if you have the stones
Not just Americans. The Bhutanese expelled 100k people for being unable to culturally assimilate. The Germans committed genocide in Africa for the same reasons. There was the Tibetan expedition by the British. The entirety of the Boxer Rebellion was a massive mishmash of nationalism and patriotism. The word has a long and storied history.
Well there is also the starvation and genocides.
but then again most of the people i interact with on a day-to-day basis are immigrants and i live in what is possibly the most multicultural city on the planet
so
hrm
Except Hawkeye which is good.
blowjobs and milkshakes.
I would like, give up blowjobs and milkshakes for life if we could tone down the starvation and genocides.
the hessian I obtained in a MLE estimation is suggesting negative values for variances
this happens when it fails to converge but Optim is telling me it converged
what do I doooo
The only other word I can think of that fits also has a hyphen.
No clue, really I am not the best at this stuff without a ton of notes.
Shave it. Then grow a beard. Then grow your hair out again and shave off the beard. Never let people see you looking the same twice.
which made the ex-wife subplot a little weird
dogg your depresshuns are making my depresshuns worse
saliva wet
Oh yeah.
I wasn't talking about historical stuff though, just about why Americans in particular might be sensitive about that word. We haven't seen most of those things, but I've somehow managed to live to see Patriotism become a creepy word that bleeds into blind nationalism in my country. So it does set of little alarm bells, because most of the people here who proudly proclaim their patriotism do so in that way.
I mean and it definitely does not help that those people tend to be the ones who I have drastic, dramatic disagreements with about fundamental parts of my personality.

Posting a claim about the goodness or badness of a thing without defining that thing is just semantic goosery. Who started this?
confidence through ignorance of your flaws is awful.
I like my country. Everything about it, really. I like our problems. I like the way we have those problems, because I'm as accustomed to that as to the way our streetsigns are. Same goes for why I'm confident. I know myself. I'm cool with my flaws.
this does not seem like a helpful interjection
tone, fella, tone!

Marvel needs to get out of the comics business and just go with movies, TV, and games.
No way. I look good with longish hair. Just not with unkempt long hair.
They're a necessary organizational tier, and humans just associate with groups naturally
And the result is opposition against other groups
If I want a negative descriptor I'll use jingoism.
I relate much better to the human species than to countries or even states.
Unless one can be sure that people who are going to disagree are self-aware enough to immediately ask one to define his terms rather than make assumptions, it's just semantic boatrocking to not lead with at least a rough definition.

and range from the spectrum of reading like the praise comes for the slightly wrong reasons to just straight up shouting about how multiculturalism is genocide.
But I also loved living in Japan. Even if it is like living through looking glass with the interactions and social rules. But it was really nice. Sometimes you miss home but other times you see the awesome around you and the bad.
I really don't have problems moving around though to a new country or new city. Most of them I am pretty good at adapting and finding good things about them.
Just make a page saying you're giving away iphones for free and they'll send you whatever you want.
