I believe Obama didn't have the confidence to disrupt the military industrial complex as it was operating post-GWB. I also think he feared the political repercussions of seeming "weak" on defense, which I think he misperceived. This was perhaps the most serious flaw in his presidency, which was otherwise great in regards to domestic policy

There were some things he did I disagreed with, and a lot he did I agreed with. I'd take another Obama presidency any day given where we currently find ourselves

Atheist. Religion is an explanation of the world that's made the fuck up. I think people make shit up to explain reality because accepting uncertainty is difficult, but that doesn't make it ok. The world around you exists, just like it is. There is no special place you get to go if you follow the right set of rules .

Without suffering, there is no enjoyment. What do you enjoy? What are you grateful for? "Nothing" is a cynical and avoidant answer here, because every person has legitimate answers to these two questions. What are yours?

And here I thought he was about to sign an executive order that it's spelled "Dow Joans" from now on and Pam Bondi was going to prosecute anyone who disagreed

To your point, I think the political will to defend Greenland will definitely be there from the overwhelming majority of other NATO states.

You have a lot of rules in your head that don't exist. Where did you learn these things? As a 40-something man who has lived a lot of life, nothing you're saying here lines up with my observations of reality

One might argue the data derived from Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge users who also upload their data to Swipestats.io is unlikely to be representative of the general population

This graphic is making fun of the man-o-sphere bullshit idea that all women are only attracted to "alpha males," my dude. You've totally missed the mark
