Comparing people from the middle east to dogs is a huge insult in many middle eastern cultures, similar to WWII Nazis comparing Jews to vermin.

Celebrating learned helplessness is cringe.

Thinking about getting some of this for my flat screen t.v:
This country is full of evil. I wish my ancestors had never come here.
I bought an amaztech stratos fitness watch, worth every penny if you use it for running. Tracks your run distance/time via gps, streams music via bluetooth and doesn't require a phone, heartbeat monitor, etc. But otherwise I agree, quartz timekeeping is the way to go.
Expensive Cars. If you have to have one, buy a cheap one. One of the worst lifetime financial decisions you can make is spending money on cars, all of them get you to A to B. A used Prius is just about the most economical car you can buy for total cost per mile travelled. It would be nice if more cities had good public transportation systems, but unfortunately most don't. I love long island, getting around on public transportation is so convenient.
Edit: Something like this example prius is the way to go if you are trying to maximize your dollar. Drive it until the wheels fall off:
Yes, the USA is in terminal decline, it has been since the dotcom bust. The USA gets a little shittier every year.
I'm genuinely fearfull of flying on Boeing Aircraft. I fucking hate that the U.S. Government let them buy McDonald-Douglas. The MD88, now that was a real aircraft.
Refined or extra virgin? It matters
A Chinese person and a university freely entered into an agreement that the Chinese person would pay to learn freely available information. This is totally ridiculous. China is moving the world ahead on a rate that rivaled the early Soviet Union's space program. The west has their head in the sand, because it won't be more than another generation before China leaves them behind. Once students STOP coming here for an education, it will be too late.
I'm not sure how we can take this maiden-less tarnished person seriously as the Elden Lord if Miquella is still desiccating around. The tarnished can't even talk! Maybe better to put Ranni on the throne.
Does a cool as fuck Shinigami show up to egg you on?
