    There are many people who think the Soviet Union did just the same (ask the Baltics). This is all about picking sides again, not looking at the root of the problem. If you believe US propaganda, China is much worse than the US, with facts to prove (not saying they’re correct or justified). Saying stuff like “your nation is the plague of the world” is just repeating the same fascist logic

    Now, this is just silly. I’d think the US have capability to destroy a school in one strike if they wanted to. What you’re saying is the US specifically have to strike twice, because they don’t have a means to reduce a civilian building to rubble. And what’s the point, anyway? Now with all the whiplash, they couldn’t predict this beforehand? Or, if it was intentional, they would have a specific goal in mind?

    I’m as much outraged as you are, don’t get me wrong. I just think it was a terrible mistake on the US part on par with starting this conflict all together

    As much as I appreciate this community, I wish there was more thoughtful discussion than this. As much as I agree with you, I’d hope there was a follow up with a deeper look at the problem. The US are doing this not because of an innate evilness, but because they can. They have the money and the mass media coverage to justify their deeds. Every country (or every leader) is protecting their interests in the way they see fit. If Iran was a superpower (whose leader thought they were invincible), they would do the same.





  • It’s an expat thing. People moving from their country usually have more negative connotations about it and are more likely fo justify their choice by joining the negative propaganda. I’ve seen people moving to my country praise things that they thought were great and different from their previous experience, but having lived here all my life I know it’s not that simple. So, don’t believe everything an expat is telling you, that’s what I mean



  • I had an HP laptop at work where the keyboard went haywire. I saw a replacement keyboard online and thought “hey, why not, I’ll just replace it”. I didn’t even look up any videos or anything because I’d never think there would be a problem. So after needing to disassemble everything to get to the front plate, I was very happy to find out that the keyboard is riveted to it (about 20 or so rivets). I looked up a video and they suggested drilling out every rivet and then replacing them. I had never been so frustrated with a piece of technology before. Luckily, a can of contact cleaner solved the problem
