"The other side is completely covered as are the insides of the doors. I found these lockers on the street in 2004 and dragged them home on my skateboard. Since then almost every sticker I’ve got has gone on there. No sticker packs, just one by one. It’s my favorite thing I own. ",
"Maybe put some on bottom lockers too ?",
"I've had to restrain myself not to. I fear it'll be way too visually busy if I do the bottoms as well. Both sides are covered, even the one you can't see against the wall, so I'm feeling like it's kinda done. I also have a bunch of other sticker bombed stuff after I ran out of space, my toolboxes are all equally covered.",

He's a shady and small-minded swindler who got in over his head. What's dangerous about Trump is not Trump himself. It's the other players he has emboldened, from 1%er industrialists to rightwing fascists to \"libertarian\" political extremists.\n\nTrump is just a tumor. The cancer is the entire ongoing rightwing agenda, a deregulatory cash-grab enabled by xenophobic dog-whistling and \"trickle down\" fairytales. It's driven by fear and ignorance to feed the greed of the already rich, and America has had enough of it. Trump and the GOP have to go to ever more extreme levels of distraction and anti-democratic fuckery in order to stop the people from holding them to account. But it won't last.",

"But that wasn't one of the new high rise developments",
"While I'm sure that message is in there, I have a hard time taking him seriously when he gets into a 3rd grade fight with KJU over who has the bigger nuclear button. If he really wanted to tell KJU that his nuclear button was better, Trump could've reminded him that we've had the nuclear button for over 70 years, and have only found the need to press it twice. Instead we get \"My button is bigger than yours, and it works.\" He may have good intentions, but his execution is sorely lacking.",
"He got into that 'spat' after the North Korea ICBM fell out of the sky, and after the KJU regime beat Otto Warmbier to death. In case you needed to be reminded of that. Otto's mutilation is something that pretty clearly still affects Trump to this day. ",
"A leader should be able to distinguish between the importance of one citizen dying overseas to the importance of maintaining world stability.\n\nIf your hero trump can’t do that, he is unfit to rule your country, let alone be some kind of “world leader”.\n\nHe most certainly should not have access to any kind of “doomsday button”.",

"I'm not saying that he can't feel emotions, nor that he shouldn't. I feel that a president showing emotions, especially over the torture of a US citizen, humanizes them and shows the people that they aren't just some figure living off in fanstasy land. But was Otto Warmbier ever concluded to have been mutilated by the KJU regime? From my findings, coroners were unable to determine a cause of death, and cited multiple potential causes. While the details of said case are likely to remain undisclosed, due to NK being shady SoB's, we can't assume it was the regime that beat him. It could have been any of the people in said labor camps that Otto was sent to. I am not defending the actions of the regime, as they are detestable, and we should fight against such violations of basic human rights, but we can't do it by saying, and I quote \"Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a nuclear button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my button works.\"",

He was taken by a medical aircraft to the US.\nAfter his arrival, doctors at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center said his condition was severe, and that he suffered extensive loss of tissue in all regions of his brain.\nThe North Korean government initially attributed Warmbier's condition to botulism.\nHowever, when the Warmbiers met Otto at the airport in Ohio, they found their child suffering from something inconsistent with a toxin-fueled illness.\n\"Halfway up the stairs [to Otto's airplane] we hear this loud, guttural, howling, inhuman sound,\" Fred Warmbier said, as his wife sat to his right. \n\"He has a shaved head. His eyes are darting around ... they're as big as saucers,\" Fred Warmbier continued. \"He's blind, he's deaf, he's got a feeding tube.\"\nFred Warmbier was joined by his other son, Austin, during this first visit with Otto, and the pair desperately tried to connect with the family member who'd been missing from their lives for 17 months. But it was a lost cause.\n\n\n> Fred Warmbier said. \"Ultimately when Kim [Jong Un] made the decision, Otto was tortured, and essentially murdered. Enough. Enough.\"\n\n\n",
"*sigh*... go on, tell me all about the Cocteau plan. A google search reveals nothing. Cocteau twins, yes, I’m all for them.",
"Thanks for showing me I was wrong. I looked up the articles about his death from other news sources, and they corroborate the idea that Warmbier was tortured. My bad, you win this point. My statement still stands however, that despite feeling pain at the treatment of a US citizen, the president, no matter who they are, cannot resort to insults against the offending party. Promises of action and recourse? Yeah, of course. Bush and Clinton promised retribution for 9/11, and most people agreed. But not throwing petty insults or goading someone with a nuclear button. We already had 1 Cold War, I don't think anyone wants another.",

"Using a 'carrot & stick' method with the Kim regime in North Korea hasn't worked in 40 years. Time to try a new playbook. And if that means drop kicking them to the curb a couple times and solves the problem for the next generation, I say, go for it. \n\nWe've also been running the same playbook in the middle east; arming and training one group of jihadis to fight another group of jihadis only to end up fighting both groups a decade later. When a strategy fails repeatedly, do you keep trying it or try something different? A wise man once said the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over but expecting a different result. ",
"cant tell if you're being serious or not.",
"He's either a malicious liar, or grossly incompetent, neither are good qualities for a president. If all you do is listen to what he says, then sure I can see your point. If you fact check what comes out of his mouth at all it becomes very apparent that he is full of shit.",

"Depends on the design, but for this piece it's limited to 50. It took about 25 hours to make the design, which only needs to be done once. The pieces take about 4 each and are done in batches. Choosing the grain of wood, adding slight variations to the paint make the work really fun. It evolves over time, so they're all unique.

"You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack. But when OP posted these photos, I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack... it grew by one. So there... there were two of us in the wolf pack... I was alone first in the pack, and then OP joined in later. And six hours ago, when OP introduced me to you guys, I thought, \"Wait a second, could it be?\" And now I know for sure, I just added a bunch of internet strangers to my wolf pack.",

"The intention is not to deceive. The pieces are handmade, but perhaps that's a term open for interpretation. Does using an orbital sander instead of a piece of sandpaper by hand, make it less hand made? No. Laser cutting a hand drawing is not much different. It's all sanded, painted, glued, and finished by hand. Perhaps, I use the reference of handmade to mean - \"Not Mass Produced\" - No assemble line. Each piece matters. Each piece is unique. \n\nIf these were entirely hand cut, no machines, they would be extremely more expensive.\n\nAs for the image online, the piece is apart of a series of 50. You can see the piece on the shop section is one of the first, the piece in the banner is a few later, and the piece from the last that was just made. The pieces evolve overtime, and the last one just seems like it's finally there. I had no idea it would turn into a thing and it was not meant to be an advertisement. This is basically my first Reddit post, still learning. \n\nThank you for having a critical eye.",

"I woke up November 3rd at 5 a.m, no work, couldn't fall back asleep. The beach is a 20min ride from my apartment at the time. I was up early enough to beat morning traffic so i figured \"what the hell, i'll go watch the sunrise\". Get dressed, grab my helmet,swing my Nikon around my shoulder and kiss the girlfriend bye ,careful to not wake her. 10min into my ride, coming up to a green light going straight, doing about 30mph some jackass decides to make a U-turn from the RIGHT lane about 10 feet in front of me. To make it worse he came to a complete stop when he finally looked and saw me. I had no time to maneuver left or right. I attempted to lay my bike down but only had the space to slam on my brakes (front and back), turning me side ways, slamming and flying over his sedan. sliding on my right arm for what seemed liked a football field length. Luckily there were nurses on the way to work which was a hospital directly on the corner of the crash. The worst damage was my arm which the doctor who saved it took some /WTF worthy photos. --*Mangled hand\n*Broken wrist\n*Broken humerus\n*TONS of torn nerves\n*Collapsed right lung\n*Bruised liver\n\nTook this photo with that same Nikon and lens this morning!",

"Multiply/dodge on the flame is the big giveaway - the dark blue \"sky\" around the flame and nowhere else was a side effect of adjustments with a bad mask /blending. \n\nThe photo was taken pointed into the sky - so the underside of the dragon is probably pretty dark in the original pic. They had to adjust the pic, or it would look like a black shadow. They upped the exposure of the pic to bring out the dragon, and the rest is side-effects of that. \n\nWhen you up the saturation to blue the sky up a bit and the exposure to counteract the dark dark dragon, the bright flame got way too light and yellow, so they dodged/multiplied the flame to bring it down to the level of the dragon. But the effect bled into the sky and made it dark. It could have been an HDR filter or a contrast adjustment as well - but when the sky gets darker around a bright object - something went wrong with the edit. \n\nBut a nice pic overall. ",

"The dragon has always bothered me just a tiny bit. The only reason, it's because it breaks the authenticity of walking through Diagon Alley. \n \nWhen you are in Hogsmeade you can walk through the front gate, close your eyes, and completely suspend all of your disbelief and for a few hours convince yourself that you are really in hogsmeade. It's so detailed. \n \nDiagon Alley has the same level of detail, if not more. You can almost do the same thing, close your eyes, walk to the brick wall and totally suspend your disbelief. But when you get to the Dragon, it shatters your suspension of disbelief. \n\n\"People should be running and screaming, there's a giant dragon breathing fire on top of a building right there, why isn't anybody running?\" \n \nThe Dragon itself is beautiful. The sculptor did some amazing work, and the mechanics of it are amazing, you can actually feel the heat from the flame. But, thematically it doesn't work the way Hogsmeade does. \n\nSo if I am truly suspending my disbelief, as soon as I hop off the Hogwarts Express, run out of Kings Cross station, into Diagon Alley and see a giant blind Dragon breathing fire...my ass better run right back to the brick wall, back in the Kings Cross, and right back on to the Hogwarts Express. \n \nStill, man I miss going to that place.",

"The Harry Potter parts are really awesome and well designed. But Islands of Adventure has a lot of disappointing design flaws, and it's not quiet at the level of Disney. The north part from Dr. Seuss to Jurassic Park are really well \"imagineered\", and the theming looks awesome, despite lacking on the rides. \n\nThe south part on the other hand, looks like it was designed by a completely different team or company. The whole comic book part all the way up to Jurassic Park is pretty awful. It's almost like they ran out of time and money and just put up something that was just temporary. Also, the general theming of Islands of Adventure is all over the place. Where Universal originally focused on a movie lot theme, and a park where you can \"ride the movies\". Islands missed the mark on this one. Maybe the theme is adventure, but that's way too general. And there's many blatant design flaws. Like the park revolving around a lake, but nothing is going on with the lake. It's a wasted space. It's not even used for eye candy. You can't even see the lake from most of the areas around it, it's almost like it's some backstage area. And there's also some bad choices in their \"Islands\". Like the Sunday paper comics, which is a children's area. It's probably not the best decision, as it misses the mark on both demographics that it's supposed to go after, and it ends up being the most forgettable part of the park. \n\nAnd Islands has too many flaws like that around the park. It's still one of the best theme parks in the world. They had something good, and could have so easily surpassed Disney, but sabotaged themselves with so many inexplicably bad decisions. ",
"The company I work for does projects for Universal. One of their techs told us that they have a code \"KFC\" at this park. The code is in reference to birds being flame broiled in the dragons mouth.",
"I try...I'll always have a special place in my heart for this movie as it was the first date I went on with my wife....\n",

"Yea I love the Harry Potter world here but they need diagon alley which they assured us will be coming soon in the future.",
"Yeah, I haven't been home in CA for a while but I think the issue with Hollywood and the other Universal parks is mostly land related? Plus with UO replacing Dragon Challenge with a new ride plus the removal of the Fear Factor stage for a rumored HP expansion it looks like there's more HP stuff to come here!",
"Yea there’s not enough land at universal Hollywood there was talk of them buying the golf course by Toluca lake but I highly doubt it expansion would be amazing though.",

"Bald Eagles have been making a comeback ever since [DDT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) was banned; it made the eggshells too thin and weak for the hatchlings to survive. Now eagles are beginning to flourish and young pairs of mating couples are expanding their territories, since established pairs will chase them off. Here in DC, we've been watching a pair of eagles that established a nest in the National Arboretum four years ago. The eagles have been working on their nest during the day and are expected to lay eggs sometime around Valentine's Day. \nhttps://www.dceaglecam.org \n(currently Cam A isn't loading properly for me, but Cam B is still working)",

A typical adult is 30-32 inches tall, (80+ centimeters) and has a wingspan measuring 6-7 feet wide. (2+ meters) That nest is over 6 feet across. \nYou might have had huge expectations, but I can't help but think of this scene from my favorite new movie on Netflix. ;) \n \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw4-vw4dceI",

Just wanted to come back and let you know the DC bald eagles finally laid their first egg of the season yesterday! \nhttps://www.dceaglecam.org \n \nIt arrived almost 6 weeks later than expected, and we've all been moping around wondering if there were going to be any eagle chicks at all this year. Eagle eggs hatch consistently after 35 days of incubation, so mark April 29/30th on your calendar! Eagle parents are so dedicated, and the eaglets are so fun to watch grow up, by mid-summer they will be bigger than their parents. \n\nHave you seen any more eagles up in Ontario?\n\n\n"

"Heh, a little bit. But they're put into the same category because chemically and structurally they're the same. What's special about opal is it actually forms into little spheres on the micrometer level, and between them are gaps on the scale of hundreds of nanometers - the size of visible light waves. If your spheres are organized enough, the gaps will form regular patterns, and light passing through will make regular interference and diffraction patterns too. This is the flashy little flakes you see in the opal, the opalescence - light being bent around and focused by the tiny spheres. If your spheres aren't regularly aligned, no interference patterns, no opalescence. So what really separates a common opal and a precious opal is whether those little spheres are well arranged or not - but you can see why they're more or less the same thing. ",

"Misleading title.\n\nThat is actually a Crysknife, the ritual blade of the Fremen.",
"and like 40% water",
"As always.",
"Sharpness and durability are different; obsidian cuts better than surgical steel, it just dulls super quickly. So it can be a really good material or a really bad material, depending on the application. When you are cutting soft tissue with stone tools, something like obsidian (or whatever kind of glass that knife is made of) works really well. But if you are talking about tougher connective tissue, thick hair/hide, or a situation where you might catch bone, something harder (and thus more durable) is better. Unless you want to stop all the time and flake yourself a new edge. ",

"Why did we get downvotes? Haha.. oh well. And yeah my thing is I just don't enjoy water. But I found some all natural lemonade stuff without any sugar or aspertame and gonna try that. Although I think that still isn't as good as just straight water.",
"Thank you for the advice and direction! Yeah I am just thinking I need to do one step at a time because in the past I tried to do it all at once and never have stuck with it. So I think I'll just do my gym stuff every so often and focus instead on drinking water to start out. Thanks again!",

This horse is interested but relaxed - ears forward, but not at attention. I'd wager the dog is the more anxious of the two - can't say I'd blame her, look at the size of that other dog.",

My wife asked me if she gets “Mom points” for making this for our daughter. I said for every upvote I’d give her $1 towards a spa day.

"The process itself did not take nine years. It really came down to being able to afford the money to pay for the application which is $725. That doesn’t sound like a lot but I’m a poor college student and life has gotten in the way a few times. \n\nSo, you have to fill out the application which is something like 15-20 pages, forgive me but I don’t honestly remember. You send off your application with your cashiers check and in about six weeks you get correspondence for your biometrics. \n\nYou go to an office (mine was 2.5 hours from my home) and have your face and eyes scanned as well as your fingerprints and then you leave. \n\nAnother four to six weeks later you go for your exam (I had to drive 4.5 hours to the location where I took mine). My exam honestly was not hard. I believe that was because I’m from an English speaking country (Ireland) and I have already been in school here for several years. You are required to know your state representatives, the branches of government, the national anthem, pledge of allegiance and several other things. I had a written and oral examination that consisted of about six questions each. I was told I had passed and that I would receive information on my citizenship ceremony. About 2.5 weeks later I got the information by mail as to where and when my ceremony would be and here I am! \n\nEdit: typo",

There are people that come to America running for their lives, risking everything to be safe and to keep their families safe. I don’t think we should turn them away because they didn’t come across a man made border the “right way”. I think they should obviously be vetted, and it should be made sure that they pose no threat and can contribute to society in a positive way, but this is a country of immigrants. Everyone is from somewhere else. I think people coming in illegally should be given a chance to contribute and earn their citizenship through sweat equity so to speak. ",

"My dad immigrated here around 50 years ago, and he brought my whole family (mom plus 6 girls) to the states I was about 6 years so I don’t really remember the immigration process as I was granted citizenship right away becuase my dad was already a citizen before I came here. However my mom stayed with her green card for so long, being illiterate and having to study questions she can’t understand, I watched her for two freaking years listening to them on her iPod and repeating every question and answer she heard not to mention her English was extremely broken, so she wanted it in Arabic, but the immigration told her she would have stay here for 15 years to be able to have that, so she waited, and 2 years before she applied again, she stayed there once more listening to the questions and answers in Arabic this time so it was easier, Nonetheless 15 years later (2014) she finally got her citizenship and we couldn’t be happier it came before trump 😅\n\nAs many immigrants, a lot of time and money is spent to earn that statues and at the end it’s well deserved, however, I cannot help but question, and I don’t mean to use this as a political platform, but those illegal immigrants that are here, who my dad calls “cheaters” becuase it’s not an open border, with that being said, and what you’ve gone through, how do you feel about the whole illegal immigrants ordeal and how they want to “force” their way into citizenship without actually going through the process like you and and my parents, and many others had to go through?

If there's anything the last few years have shown me (mostly through social media) it's that otherwise extremely intelligent people have no idea how their government and regulatory system work, or what the laws that apply to them are. Hell, there's even a significant misunderstanding of the divide between state and federal authority.\n\nAfter seeing what people post about the ACA, medicare/medicaid, marriage equality, immigration enforcement, etc, I'm almost aghast at the level of ignorance out there.

Would they want you to hold citizenship if you didn't have any allegiance to them? It's all very nebulous right up to the hypothetical point where you have either country requiring two different contradictory things of you. Not having allegiance to the US would likely be classified as treason. \n\nRealistically it isn't much of an issue and I certainly think you're right that it's not the same technically speaking, but I wonder if the intention was such. And with no law specifically stating that you aren't renouncing your citizenship to other countries I think it puts the situation in a bit of a dangerous place should someone decide to \"clarify\" or make the law more restrictive, particularly for immigration reasons.",

">Then why have multiple citizenships in the first place? An oath of allegiance is quite typical when gaining citizenship to a country. By that measure, everyone with multiple citizenships is in the same contradictory position.\n\nMy statement was meant as being more rhetorical than anything. It's more a question over what citizenship actually means. If you're a citizen of a country but don't have allegiance to that country, then why have citizenship? Generally the difference between being a citizen of a country vs simply a resident is in the benefits you gain from that country - things like voting rights, health care, ability to hold various positions, etc. In exchange for those rights you give the country your allegiance. So if there's no longer a demand for allegiance then where does that leave citizenship? Why should a country bother offering those benefits to a citizen who doesn't have allegiance or fidelity to it?\n\n>There's no law stating you are or are not renouncing citizenship. I fail to see the issue here. \n\nThe oath of allegiance is worded in an ambiguous way. If there were ever a legal questioning of the phrasing and what it actually means it could end up being clarified that it does in fact mean renouncing of citizenship. A silly what-if hypothetical scenario.\n\n>Laws aren't passed to tell you what is legal.\n\nSure they are, though usually it's phrased in a way as to prohibit infringement of a right. So if there were a law for the scenario we're discussing it would be, \"the right of the US citizen to retain citizenship of foreign states during naturalization shall not be infringed,\" or some other better worded phrase.",

I have noticed my metabolism is a bit confused. At first it sped up really fast and then it slowed down- which is why I am my highest weight I think.

"Mincemeat is my favourite war story ",
"Looks like it might be one of the landing craft that was beached at high tide.",
"This must've been taken hours after the initial storming of the beach. ",
"And look at the current crop of millennials who would never have the balls to be on that beach.",
"That’s probably D-Day +1 or 2. ",
"Yet there were people who agreed with him and aided him in his time in power..",
"Never heard about this but i think it was a great idea for the times. Mighty cool",
"Shiit I haven't even played the campaign of that game yet. I'll do that once I have my console back. \n\nI think I'll rewatch saving private Ryan this weekend. ",
"That was kind of unnecessary. Did you spend time in Afghanistan or Iraq? ",
"I found the MAGA man!",
"Where are all the Supply Drops with all the sweet cosmetics?",
"One of my grandfather's piloted a boat that dropped off soldiers there, & the other grandfather was a mechanic for the Royal Air Force. I like to mention that when I can. ",
"Normandy post D-Day. Notice all of the trucks and very few men. They're staging a support area for the continued invasion. This maybe actually be Cherbourg.",
"Cognitive empathy can indeed be instructive. Know your enemy. But it doesn't make me sympathize (or empathize) with them.",
"I think it was a day or two after. I know this picture is Omaha beach, but I can’t find a good source on when it was taken at the moment. Either way, there were delays clearing obstacles on Omaha and judging by the lack of obstacles in the pictures and the amount of materiel that’s being landed, I don’t think this could have been taken on the 6th. ",
"I learned in *The Better Angels of Our Nature* by Steven Pinker that Hitler really was the guy who caused it. It's not like war & genocide was inevitable & that Hitler just happened to be a place-holder. It really was that one man's desires that ruined so much goodness.",
"Hey, thanks for calling...*it*...out!",
"What if Hitler was detected early and locked up before he came into power? What if millions of people didn’t die..",
"I think people like Goebbels, Himmler, and Goering deserve some of the blame. Hitler was giving the orders, but they sure weren’t helping de-escalate anything. ",
"Actually, most of the men on that beach didn't have \"the balls\" to be there either. An estimated ~10% of them shot their guns with the intention of killing. The same goes for the Germans. When you take civilians & drop them in a brutal war, they're afraid & lost. Soldiers today are trained to kill & emotionally detach. Back then, the training wasn't good enough to do that. They just took regular Joes, taught them to shoot a target, & then put them in horrific battle. Today's millennials may be more skilled at avoiding war to begin with. We're less driven by honor & we're more diplomatic. We're less racist, less sexist, & while there are plenty of valid criticisms (don't get me started), I don't think we're the weak Nazi-appeasers you suggest, on average.",
"Stalingrad was probably the point in the war when a German defeat was actually guaranteed, and the high command would have known they were done then. \n\nI think it was inevitable from the start, but a German success in Russia would have at least dragged it out. The generals knew it was over when an entire army group got wiped off the face of the earth at Stalingrad. ",
"Can somebody make a bot who finds karma farming bots and reports them? ",
"This is also what a freedom machine looks like.",
"Fair enough.",
"I'm reading *A World at Arms* and it's devastating in the amount of detail on all fronts. Highly recommended.",
"You didn't take this picture. ---E",
"Who watches the Watchbot?",
"And the millennial soldiers of today would be much better than those soldiers on D-Day. Putting aside the advanced weaponry, they have more knowledge of tactics, & a greater willingness to kill enemies. And of course the Germans, British, Canadians, & Americans would be fighting side by side today against an enemy of liberal democracy. Humans probably won't fight another war of advanced nations against one another though. We've come too far & learned too much about how bad it is.",
"Indeed. Had Adolf been killed in WWI -which he nearly was- then those millions of Jews would not have been ushered into gas chambers. And I don't know how many of 20 million Soviets would have lived. Stalin killed many of his own people, but many died fighting Nazis too. ",
"Then Russia would probably have ended up trying to take over Europe a decade or two later.",
"And wow! Hey! What’s this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like … ow … ound … round … ground! That’s it! That’s a good name – ground!\n\nI wonder if it will be friends with me?",
"This is all speculation of course, but I think the war would have been delayed, but eventually the Soviet union would have started one.",
"Look for Hearts of Iron IV main menu screenshots, theres one.\n",
"Tom Hanks. Everyone trusts Tom Hanks.",
"Thank you for this... Have a pan galactic gargle blaster on me.",
"You needed lots of metal and oil to do wars back then huh.",
"My grandfather was there on D+2 and still remembers the smell of blood. ",
"We could write a bot for that.",
"Probably at this point...imagine the disconnect you'd have to have seeing all that crossing the sea (and so much more not seen in the pic) and thinking \"hah. We can easily beat these!\"",
"Right? How can you justify as a general in the army defend a nation that is just committing mass genocide",
"http://giant.gfycat.com/WellwornSourAmericanwirehair.gif",
"European here, D-Day was a minor sideshow compared to the Eastern Front where Russia won the war nearly by itself.\n\nThough I do want to give credit to Canada and the Brits who masterminded d-day and accomplished all their objectives",
"Ask Americans.",
"Just like Iraq!",
"Hey do...these things exist? ",
"Hitler slept through the invasion because his aides were afraid to wake him up. ",
"ty!",
"That makes sense. There are no bodies, explosions, or sense of urgency depicted here.",
"I wish I knew how.",
"Good bot",
"I mean,, there is a slight difference between sweeping out a native population for our own country, and targeting Jews around the world. Not saying what Americans did wasn’t bad, ",
"Im pretty sure it’s Omaha Beach (not sure where that is in relation to Cherbourg, my geography is rusty), just a day or two after the invasion, and before the actual mobile harbor had been constructed. ",
"Mobile harbor was located at Cherbourg not Omaha.",
"There were two Mulberry Harbors. One was at Gold, the other was at Omaha. They may not have been the only mobile harbors though. ",
"Irak, Syria, Vietnam...all American genocide.\n",
"Really? Someone downvoted me for stating a fact? \n\nI'll say it again. There were TWO \"Mulberry Harbors\" that were constructed in the wake of the invasion. One was at Gold Beach, one was at Omaha Beach. I don't know if those were the ONLY mobile harbors set up, but they WERE the only two mobile harbors that were called \"Mulberry Harbors.\" This is an easily-verifiable fact. I can find no reference to a mobile harbor at Cherbourg, except for a couple references to it being liberated sooner than expected and its EXISTING harbor infrastructure being put to use.",
"Ehhhhh.... idk if those are really genocides, because even though we have done a terrible number on civilians with dumbass drone strikes in iraq/syria, when our troops went into those areas, they weren’t targeting the people who are just trying to live, only people who would see us dead first. ",
"Agreed. 100%. More like \"glad we scared the shit out of them\""

I'm sure a woman who has easy periods her whole life and then all of a sudden something hypothetically changes and she has to deal with what you wrote would learn to deal with it. Just like any other uncomfortable or painful situation. I had a complication with a vasectomy and was nauseous and throwing up for 8 months - I'm sure my wife went through something similar when carrying our kids but we both learnt to deal with it and get on with our lives. It wasn't something magical that only I or only she could deal with. ",

I AM A BADASS. sorry, not sorry. ",

Men can't experience what a woman goes through on her period so they have nothing to go on except for the whining but there are experiences day in day out that both sexes can experience (work a back breaking job for 50+ years, enduring extreme heat/cold for a career of 50+ years, being wet and cold for months on end every season, etc) and I'm not seeing any women stepping up to take on those tasks and the ones I have seen drop off incredibly quickly to an office job etc. ",

Bring proud of what you were born into is basically telling everyone that you're kind of a piece of shit and OK with being a piece of shit.

"[What Wal-Mart Knows About Customers' Habits - NYT, Nov 2004](http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/14/business/yourmoney/what-walmart-knows-about-customers-habits.html)\n\n>HURRICANE FRANCES was on its way, barreling across the Caribbean, threatening a direct hit on Florida's Atlantic coast. Residents made for higher ground, but far away, in Bentonville, Ark., executives at Wal-Mart Stores decided that the situation offered a great opportunity for one of their newest data-driven weapons, something that the company calls predictive technology.\n\n\n>A week ahead of the storm's landfall, Linda M. Dillman, Wal-Mart's chief information officer, pressed her staff to come up with forecasts based on what had happened when Hurricane Charley struck several weeks earlier. Backed by the trillions of bytes' worth of shopper history that is stored in Wal-Mart's computer network, she felt that the company could \"start predicting what's going to happen, instead of waiting for it to happen,\" as she put it.\n\n\n>The experts mined the data and found that the stores would indeed need certain products -- and not just the usual flashlights. \"We didn't know in the past that strawberry Pop-Tarts increase in sales, like seven times their normal sales rate, ahead of a hurricane,\" Ms. Dillman said in a recent interview. \"And the pre-hurricane top-selling item was beer.\"\n\n\n>Thanks to those insights, trucks filled with toaster pastries and six-packs were soon speeding down Interstate 95 toward Wal-Marts in the path of Frances. Most of the products that were stocked for the storm sold quickly, the company said.\nSuch knowledge, Wal-Mart has learned, is not only power. \n\n>**It is profit, too.**\n\nPotential for profit is a powerful motivator, as much so as is philanthropy or basic human decency. Governments are only motivated by the potential for loss of power.",

"CRT TVs, before solid state technology took over in the early 1970s, were prone to failure on an almost continual basis. Two or three times a year, the thing would go out, and you'd have to call a \"TV Repairman\" who came to your house to swap your old tubes for someone else's old tubes, until he swapped out the bad one and the TV would work again. Those sets required constant adjustment, degaussing, and other tweaks (faces alternated between green and purple), and don't get me started on the antennas! Last year, our 40\" LCD TV crapped out after 12 years of faithful service. We could have fixed it, but used the opportunity to buy a new, larger, smart TV for less than half the cost of the old one.\n\nMy 1966 Plymouth Valiant required almost constant maintenance -- I replaced the exhaust system three times during the five years I owned it, and the brakes at least twice. When I replaced the car, I gave the old one to my sister, who drove it until it barely hit 100,000 miles -- at which point the frame fell out of it. Today, a car with 100K is \"barely broken in.\" I don't even consider replacing a car with fewer than 200,000 miles on it. Yes, they're hard to work on, and service is expensive, but it's a lot less frequent. Oil changes are down to once or twice a year, and I can't tell you the last time I replaced spark plugs. And that's not to mention the safety, fuel economy, and emissions enhancements in modern cars.\n\nI can't remember the last time I replaced a major appliance, except to get a newer one with more features or a better Energy Star rating. And, I've got a whole closet full of electronics that work perfectly, but are too outdated to be useful. Yes, it gets frustrating when something breaks, and the factory in China that made it didn't bother to make replacement parts. But, for the most part, stuff that you buy today, will be useful tomorrow -- and a lot of tomorrows beyond that.\n\nTrust me. I've lived through the \"good old days,\" and I don't wanna go back!!",

">when was the last time you saw a TV repair shop\n\nI have three, that I know of, near where I live that do TV repairs. This is typically just swapping a board or the screen out. These businesses call themselves \"Electronics Repair\" because the skills used apply to several electronics (PC, game consoles, tv, etc). \n\nWhile most people with modest skills can recap a CRT or do some small repairs, they are riskier to work on and some issues are not worth fixing (at least in 80s-90s consumer sets).\n\nCar makers went cheap in the 80s and also started under powering cars. This was when the 4 cylinder Mustang came out. In the 90s junk yards were full of 80s cars. Just because someone could fix them did not mean that everyone took perfect care of their cars or that the cars were well made.\n\nGame consoles were simpler, yes, but there were issues. Some of them are easy to repair (simple capacitor replacements) and others are more work (dying vram and other chips, power regulator ala the Atari Jaguar CD, Sega CdX lasers, etc). Unless you have to repair these consoles, you probably are unaware of how they broke.\n\n The reason new consoles have problems is because they are essentially a pc - more power, more heat. Plus Microsoft...(Windows 95, 98, or ME anyone?)\n\nYou chose your own coffee maker. Ones like the OP's pic still exist and usually cost about $10-15. You also have the choice of a French Press - no wifi there.",
