Seems like I hear about Russia/Ukraine about the same..sounds like those ATACMS missiles(idk what they are though) were pretty effective and important. It's on most front pages.

And in cases like these, I don't think public opinion is that important? Imagine Japan being like, "yeah, China is doing stuff we disagree with in disputed territory, but people are really focused on Israel/Palestine and Russia/Ukraine... let's just leave China alone out there, public's not paying attention anyway."

I hear that theory a lot(for different situations), but I imagine most governments can multitask.

I would probably try to find an exit to the conversation if you hit me with either of the rock/tree or Israel/Palestine conversation if I'm being honest.

I think the subject matter is pretty obvious. I'd imagine it being in favor of shooting kids can be argued against though

While I agree with the sentiment, I'd imagine you can easily make the argument that written language is also for recording and documenting, not purely for human to human connection.

I imagine you could come up with something relatively easy to put on the walls/ceilings to block signals if you really felt like it.

Making it look like a sane person's house might be a little more difficult though

The reason I'm an Osprey fan is because of the lifetime warranty for any reason, which impressively I've never had to use. And I abuse my gear outdoors.

But I'd imagine if you are doing tech carrying over everything else, you want something more specialized/padded. I try to find lighter gear.

I'm wondering if they are talking that brand that you get from like Walmart/target.

I'm no backpack connoisseur, but I'd be surprised to find out that those are life changing.. but maybe I'm just to big of an Osprey fan

Right after it invented planning.

I'd imagine help desk applicants

It's just Americans being programmed to feel guilty online.

I know the stereotype is Canadians saying sorry, but online Americans tend to feel the most guilty about almost everything.

What I was trying to say it is vague criticisms focused on creating demographic based divisions. There is definitely a problem in a sadly large percentage of communities, but it isn't based of North vs South, Black vs White, yadayada..

I would be willing to bet you would find the same issues to be common in many northern states, such as Utah, Wyoming, Idaho... and depending out what you consider the South, I'm sure there are amazing cities that don't match any of these complaints either.

and I'd imagine one of the biggest commonalities of the shitty places is going to end up being lack of money in the education system.
