So did the short sellers

I dont mind the expense on quality tools, well made, that last literally forever. Ive had ones that are about 20 years old now.

Few things I learned from my father, never get cheap tools

A leatherman, or gerber multitool has been a life-saver for me more than once

Flag day was created as a propaganda tool to weed out socialist during the 40s. It has roots back to the Civil war in the 1850s. No one really celebrates it, I dont even think we get a day off for it.

If Allah wills it. Such a wonderful phrase, I use this daily. A-salaam, brother.

Thats not really true, while religious adoption is down in the Abrahamic religions, spirituality is still on the rise. People, as the books tell us, will find their own way to peace and God.

Is King David too mainstream? How about Job, now theres a story.

I tried to post in Hebrew but I couldnt get my client to work it.

Vanity is pointless and everything is meaningless Accept for the will of YHWH to encompass your being.

Ive already eaten the new testament, it was tasteless and yet had something for everyone. 2/10

Allah, God, Yhwh, Goddess, Jesus; pretty controversial to say they all refer to the same one.

I threw that flavor in for your benefit.

“Based on the prevention of arms proliferation and other national security considerations, a total of 601 entities involved in arms proliferation activities were added to the list …[“strategic high-tech commodities entity list”, the Ministry of Economic Affairs’ International Trade Administration said]… including Chinese companies such as Huawei and SMIC,” the administration said in a statement.

Congrats on the single worst comment in the history of the internet. No points for you, may Allah have mercy on your soul.

I thought that would be the point I would get called out on. I tried to phrase it around what capitalism makes, its such a short sighted cultural influence that bears very little of what we internalize. I see our American influence everywhere, but we still lack something more concrete to anchor our individual identities.

Please dont bang the chocobo :(

We as Americans lack a certain amount of culture, we look to our pasts and see what it is our families have come from. So many Irish came here, for so many reasons, the cultural heritage barely came with it, leaving a big gaping hole in what we tend to identify ourselves with.

I like to use the analogy of the Native American Indian who was displaced and massacred, captured and forced to go to Indoctrination camps as children. Where they applied the “kill the indian, save the child” methodology, abhorrent to think of, its not far off from cultural genocide.

So, we look back and find our parents and grandparents nationalities, where they have come from, we adopt what little we know of what it means to be Irish. All thats left here is Irish bars and St Patricks Day, Boston and Chicago. Americans will happily tell you about their heritage but its not a long story to tell. We are the children of immigrants striving to find a way to make a home and anyone else to connect with for community.

For a man from hollywood he sure is bad at producing. Reagan was better at literally everything, where are our leaders!? Reagan was still a terrible leader…

Man, if more people were to understand the MEB/VA disability rating system they would know better. Service in any branch is HARD work and they do not make it easy to understand or get through the ridiculous process that it is to even get on the disabled roster.

In the VA disability rating system 1+1=0.6. To the point, you are given a rating of a percentage of your ability to continue serving your contract. So if youre considered 50% disabled for your primary complaint, any other disability complaint is not added directly to that value. It is considered another percentage of the portion left after the previous complaint so; 50% + 50% = 75%

Getting 100% disabled from the VA is a huge pain in the ass, because if you know anything about percentages it would technically be impossible to attain 100%

This is something I have done. Reckless abandon with no care about personal hygiene or safety when it comes to Crayola Snack Time.
