Or even just a board game night.

Maybe it just means boring guys. Drinking is a secondary activity, not a primary one.

I'm doing my part!

Also that person may have known what you meant, but another might not and may have any number of reasons for not asking.

Better communication skills are a worthwhile goal and there's no good reason to not learn and grow.

I'd agree with the other comment as well. The first two seasons are bumpy but they build a lot.

Skipping them, even where they're rough, does you a disservice in the long run. It's well worth the trouble.

Did he break the warp barrier in the first 18 minutes?

I remember playing multiplayer quake 2 with a John McClane skin complete with sounds.

Good times

I thought that was a step further. Originally it was gold until Reddit made that a thing you could pay them for so people started doing silver and the wheel turned again

Or even make your own, with blackjack and hookers!

Which also makes me wonder if climbing the ladder works the same throughout society. Can the apprentice still learning to forge a bat'leth kill the blacksmith and take over his business? Is that murder or did the p'tah have it coming because he couldn't defend himself anymore?

I remember when this was the thought about Internet Explorer.

It's not too late. It will never be too late. Everyone that changes moves the market share needle. It doesn't mean Firefox is going to take over overnight, but it also doesn't mean it's pointless to suggest change.

I really cant be bothered citing more

You haven't cited anything. You've made reference to them at best. Saying a thing is not citing it.

Sanctions in general impoverish and kill many. They are a type of light economic mass murder.

So then things like Russia sanctions are bad too? If so what do you suggest as an alternative? If not when do you draw the line?

I think what we actively do and did, is MUCH WORSE.

You made that clear, but you didn't really express how. Have we been responsible for more death? More negative impact to lives? If that, how is it measured? Does it make a difference how much time it has been going on? If we've killed less per year is that better?

If one guy kills your family in front of you, but the other pokes you with a needle every day of your life, who do you have stronger feelings about? Who is the bigger villain?

Yes, America has a history of being terrible, and it doesn't look like it's stopping any time soon, but it's just the most obvious, current bad guy. That doesn't make it the biggest in history or now. That doesn't excuse current practices, but it also doesn't mean hyperbole (real or perceived) is going to help you.

It's the way of things anyway. Reddit was often posting about Facebook, or Twitter, or TikTok, or Tumblr when it was relevant.
