  • “just buy all the stuff for a woodworking shop if you’re interested in woodworking but never done it before.”

    Exotic spices are too expensive to buy if you’ve never tried it, just to throw em away if you don’t like them. Then you insult people for not doing it. That’s absurd. And you know damn well the Midwest is a region in America. I’m not a fan of US exceptionalism either but we both know it exists, and that if you speak English and are on an aggregate site on the Internet you know where it is. I’ve never been to Germany or france but I know where reinland is.






  • Yeah, I try to tell them that very few of them are true “terrorists”. Many of the people who were suicide bombers were coerced by terrorists with threats against their families, or promised money to their family upon completion. I tell them how good most of the people were and would offer food to us from their own lunch, even knowing we had free food from the US govt. Many wanted to know more about America, and loved the music and movies.

    Some of those people visibly softened their stance. Others would just “yeah but” to no end. Like dude, I was there. I experienced it. Those fox news people? They weren’t there, you weren’t there, and you’re arguing with me? 5 minutes ago you thanked me for my service, now you’re denying my experience there? Some you can reach, some you can’t.
