There's a bright green (and definitely strong enough to give you eye damage) laser-light sensor on one of the fan-balancer machines at my job. I think I remember my boss pointing it out to me & told me not to look at it when I started; but you're not really ever supposed to be able to see it anyways, cause it faces directly up towards the ceiling & normally you have a part directly overtop of it anyways.
So anyways I looked at the laser-light the other day when I was trying to clean the machine. :cri:
Don’t self-mutilate your psyche, folks, don’t romanticize this incredibly liberal conception of a man as an island and instead embrace the people who love you and tell them that you love them back.
I would like to, but really the only person/people that I can think of that are included there are my sister, her kids, and my granddad. I don't see any of them much, I'm probably gonna see less of them when I get to moving out, and one of them isn't gonna be around for very much longer.
And also, with regards to like emotional support, there's not a whole lot I can realistically ask of any of those parties myself.
I’m just saying it’s an ahistorical representation of the type of person who actually did that.
That's fair enough, and I think I understand what you mean in that context. That's also not really the part of the take that I was objecting to I guess. :shrug-outta-hecks:
I never thought about it before but Full Metal Jacket is kind of retrograde the way it portrays the guy who blasted his CO as a sobbing incompetent moron. In reality there was a lot of resistance and direct murder of COs by GIs during the Vietnam War, but it wasn’t done by antisocial mouth-breathing idiots but principled resistors.
Well, Gomer Pyle is not supposed to be a depiction of a "principled resistor". He's supposed to be a depiction of a guy who is obviously mentally disabled, but got pushed through medical examination anyways due to lowering recruitment standards. As I understand that was also a hot-button issue at the time.
That said, I would personally prefer that you did not speak so frankly on your opinions regarding Mr. Pyle. Comparison with the character is actually one of the ways people where I live used to use to try to get at me.

In other words, they will fight out of a certain sense of boredom, because they cant imagine living in a world without struggle. And when the greater part of the world they live in is characterised by a peaceful and prosperous liberal democracy, they will fight against that peace and prospering, and against democracy.

Pls updoot my post 2 😭
It would be fucking amazing to watch :melon-musk: get Lowtax'd.
It doesn't change the fundamental problem (and yes I do think that this is a kind of problem) that everything is still ultimately, mainly determined by ones APM abilties.
