The insult is the implication. “I wouldn’t tell a backwoods country to be like us, [but we should]. So instead I will tell you that you are not like US [because I actually think that you are backwoods], and you should be like us to [so you aren’t like those backwoods countries anymore].”
The gall of saying, that entirely different culture that’s been around for longer than our country, they should have our same values, right after calling them backwoods countries. The extreme narcissist egoism is palpable and disgusting.
I’m one who definitely prefers reading books. But, you’d have to pry my e-book reader from my cold dead hands. It’s so much more convenient to read everywhere without having to haul around the weight of paper, it fits neatly in a backpack and I always have a full library of stuff to read. It multiplied my reading 10 fold.
I would definitely love to start a book collection once I have a home of my own. But right now I can still read to my heart’s content without having to worry about storage space or costs when moving places. It’s almost perfection. Planning to upgrade to a kobo soon.
Perhaps, but the soft shadows still don’t match the text. It’s uncanny. An amateur designer would’ve gotten a better result on Photoshop in less time.
Probably logistics. They had hacked the smartphones, so Hezbollah decided that they would turn to older tech that was harder to hack or intercept. But of course this presented a great opportunity, as there aren’t that many maker of pagers left in the world. So the Mossad probably interdicted the delivery process to tamper with them and insert explosives.
Lithium batteries don’t explode, they fizz really quickly into a flame. The incidents reported included an explosion, and in several occasions they injured not just the user but several people around them. EDIT: apparently they didn’t even have Lithium batteries, just use regular alkalines. So there was no way to make them explode without inserting an explosive and rewiring the device. Alkalines also just tend to leak when they overheat, not explode. To make them explode you have to feed them with high current, which the pager doesn’t have space or circuitry inside to induce that, and it is still very rare even when you do overcharge them.
It’s super obvious, I caught it immediately just scrolling the thread, I don’t even do graphic design or anything. You can just tell if you have ever seen a single episode of Jeopardy in your life.
I’ve seen poorly raised dogs mauling children. 100% the fault of the owners for being dipshits, but even domesticated animals are a risk. An animal is an animal, we are not masters of the universe, we can’t control them. Just, be wise and learn how to properly train and socialize a dog. Even my lovely poodle who had never even growled in 6 years, once threatened to bite another dog in the park because the owner thought it was fine to leave him off the leash and it came at her aggressive and too fast. She was fine with the other properly socialized dogs, but this one overstepped the boundaries and almost got hurt. The owner liked to claim she had trained her baby, but there she was screaming like a hysterical idiot and being completely ignored by her perfect angel who thought he could prowl the world. That dog got lost for two days not much later.
Still wild. An animal doesn’t stop being a wild animal because it was raised in captivity, I think. The opposite is domesticated. So, domesticated like dogs and cows, raised in captivity (like most animals in zoos) or raised in the wilderness. Travis was most definitely not a domesticated animal.
It’s extremely obvious because the lettering shadows have shadows themselves and they don’t match. It’s simultaneously trying to be the flat image and the CRT soft afterglow of the shadows at the same time, when in real life you’d only have one or the other. It’s also giving a headache.
Real state is not just about the square area, or even the construction on top, but mostly about location. The cost is not about how big or luxurious of a mansion it is, but because it means living surrounded by other millionaires. If you scout the area, you notice it is one of the biggest houses around that place and the price, while outrageous even by the area standards, is not that far up next one, and about half of the most expensive one.
When dogs do that relocation of food is because they don’t feel safe eating at the bowl. Usually because it is in a corner or the shape of the bowl blocks their peripheral view. They are skittish of where they eat, since it is instinctively a vulnerable act. Same reason they might get zoomies after pooping, you want to be as far away as possible as the smell gives away your position, predator stuff. Relocate the bowl to a location with a wider view of the room, not giving their back to open spaces. And choose a wide but shallow bowl that lets them see what is in their surroundings as they eat.
This is what happens when the justice system is designed to keep poor people subservient and not to uphold the law.
People should learn how to assess whether they can afford a debt or not. The math is not intuitive and requires prepwork that most aren’t willing to do.
I also noticed that they started showing ads upon opening YouTube on Android TV.
Google sucks so bad.
It’s already pretty much a rich people hobby. There are many facilities and heavy assistance from locals. It’s dangerous still. But it’s not even among the top 5 most deadly, dangerous or difficult climbs. In really good weather you can pay for a helicopter ride to get you even further up from base camp thus making your climb shorter.
The best pieces of children’s cinema are always those with good writing that can simultaneously entertain and respect both the children and the adults in the teather. Everything else is rightfully forgotten as dumb slop. Pandering to little children humor is always a sure way for IPs to die in obscurity.
Does that means that the fold that forms from over the elbow between the two muscles when you fold your arm and looks like a vulva can be called a wussy?
I love these dorks because they always look like CGI, but no. That’s just the way they look and photographs are accurate.
Have you met graphic designers and illustrators? Over analysis is their whole MO.
The obvious answer is that Facebook should not be used by anyone, ever. The model is cancer, whatever FB does of value for the user can be accomplished without a social media platform.
