Lmao are they born fully grown?

One in a thousand to even get a chance to talk to someone, what an encouraging system

Venting their fears and knowledge of the Patriot Act by projecting it onto our national rival

What a shithole website.

SOURCE? SOURCE? SOURCE SOURCE SOURCE?

Silver lining, Carlos Hathcock, the sniper in Vietnam, eventually ran out of luck while riding on top of an APC, it hit a mine and was engulfed in flames. He earned severe third degree burns over large parts of his body, which kept him in constant pain for the rest of his life.

It gets better, [emphasis mine]

In 1975, Hathcock's health began to deteriorate, and he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. He stayed in the Marine Corps, but his health continued to decline. Just 55 days short of the 20 years that would have made him eligible for regular retirement pay, he received a permanent disability separation. Being medically discharged, he received 100 percent disability pay.[31] He would have received only 50 percent of his final pay grade had he retired after 20 years. He fell into a state of depression when he was forced out of the Marines because he felt as if the service had kicked him out. During this depression, his wife Jo nearly left him but decided to stay

"Hey, thanks for your lifetime of service, sacrifice, and dedication to the USMC, we're going to force you out TWO MONTHS shy of 20 years service. Get fucked"

Came here to say electrician. Or anything related to utility (gas, electric, water, Internet, transportation) maintenance. These are often "we need someone 365 days a year" jobs, because they are literally the ones maintaining infrastructure for the rest of us, but those jobs also pay well and are in demand everywhere there are people.

If you're not qualified for that stuff, consider starting with something like Flagging/traffic control. You'll start as the poor sap holding a sign in the rain, but you can study and eventually become the person who designs/approves the traffic control plans, etc etc. Pretty much all utility work requires traffic control.

Surveying/Right of Way/GIS, if you'd rather work in a cube

That doesn't seem like world news

I feel like a spectator at this point. Fully aware of how the system operates and powerless to affect change without grave consequences. Materially, I'm secure. Not reproducing, so I don't have offspring to care about their future. Fuck this timeline, maybe I'll get to return at a cooler time.

As an archipelago, Japan is/was an insular society with dense urban populations. It's robust transportation system developed as a necessity. America is/was a sprawling continent with a consistent population shift. By the time Japan came under America's thumb, it had other social structures in place that the US couldn't dislodge.

It's sci-fi with good character development and moral conundrums. It doesn't take itself too seriously and doesn't rely on flashy graphics. The characters are supportive of each other. Like if you took utopian leftist drama kids and told them to make a sci-fi show about humanity trying to do it's best.

Oh heck yeah, that thing is crazy. Never seen one before.

I'm still under a dozen house plants, so I'm still pretty new at it, but will definitely be picking up a ceropegia bosseri as soon as I can. Just gotta make a freaky pot to match it

Poverty nostalgia?

Exactly!
