Yes, but under conscription everyone, in theory anyway, will feel the effects of being at war. Compare that to the Iraq war. Btw, if the US wants to not be a bullshit country it can start by putting Bush and everyone in his administration on trial for that war.

Mandatory national service (military and non-military) may bind a healthy country's citizenry more closely together. But with the Vietnam War, the US began to see its leadership was fallible and willing to lie and let many people die before admitting a grave mistake. Now we have a military of volunteers which conducts a lot of costly and bloody operations of dubious value to the national or global good. Imperial meltdown is weird, but compelling to watch.

Solution: replace the current path of immigration with a military term. If you make it through without dying or being discharged, you're a citizen. Surely this system would work and not be abused at all. Would you like to know more?

I can totally get someone not liking the Big Lebowski if they went in with any kind of hype or expectation but I saw it on TV in 2000 or so without knowing a thing about it and I thought it was hilarious so yknow

It's weird that he fixates on mcdonalds when that is true of basically any fast food or even chain restaurants where you can just walk in. It's not like all the line cooks at chilis have some cyanide in their pockets just in case the president stops by.

I hate netflix shows that release episodes week by week. You aren't a cable network. Just dump what you have. Doing the weekly thing is just going to make me pretend your show doesn't exist until the season is over, then i'll watch it like a normal person who wants to watch 10 hours of a show in a row in one day.

Netflix doesn't release any shows week by week unless it's something topical that is filmed weekly and there's been like 2 of those ever.

It’s funny because I this came up before and that time I was the tube who didn’t know European Netflix worked differently and also Better Call Sail was the example used them as well. The wheel turns ever onward.

Outside of America Netflix will get the rights to shows that are released on cable/broadcast/streaming networks in America. So here in Australia shows like Star Trek Discovery or The Good Place are "Netflix" shows that are released weekly roughly simultaneously with the US airing.

With shows like Star Trek Discovery it was a Netflix show from the start because I think they helped fund the series along with CBS. It's just in the US it's on the garbage CBS streaming service. That's all on Les Moonves too.

Rabbit death screams aren't blood-curdling or horrifying to listen to. Go watch some Youtube vids of rabbits and bunnies getting owned by stoats and whatnot, and I dunno, there's something weirdly satisfying about seeing something so pathetic and helpless get owned in such a one-sided fashion. Also rabbits are terrible. They cripple their own babies and the babies of other rabbits (there's a video of that too, I wont link it tho). And they're so cowardly and weak, they won't do anything to help one another or defend one another. And again, the way they just scream when getting attacked, its like "Fight BACK, you pussy". I feel empathy for other animals but for some reason rabbits just piss me off. I wouldnt hurt one but if i dont give a gently caress about them. Also they look weird when you look at them head-on. Creepy.

Yeah but they're cute so they are here to stay, like deer. I think they are awful pets though. They are constantly making GBS threads. My brother has two and there's rabbit poo poo all over the place even though they are trained to use a litter box. I don't think it's fair to say they are litterbox-trained when they only use it 75% of the time. They are nice to pet though, as long as they aren't making GBS threads on you. Which they probably are.

Creepy. The survival strategy of rabbits as a species is "make sure there's always so drat many of us all the time that nothing, ever, can possibly kill us all." Seems to me that it's working pretty well. I think when a rabbit hears another rabbit scream they hide or run away because, well, the gently caress is a rabbit going to do?

Buy your pet rabbit, hang out with it while you're home, and then when it dies of a heart attack because you shut the bathroom door too loudly you can travel for work again.

Rabbit death screams are the worst/saddest noise I’ve ever heard in my life. Years ago I had to mercy kill a whole litter of baby rabbits by stomping them with my boot and that sound is burned into my brain forever.

I used to work in animal research labs, and having to "sacrifice" (the prefered euphemism) rats is oddly terrifying. Especially when someone does it right in front of you, in the hallway, with their credit card.

Rats are disgusting creatures and the only red flag bigger than being a horse girl is being a rat girl. It takes a special kind of crazy to like those constant piss and poo poo generating scaly tailed beady eyed rodents. I don't care how nice they can be, they are vermin. At least horses serve a function, even if the girls obsessed with them are pretty much just as insane as the rat ones.
