Yeah, that imperialism gets ‘em ever time. It has nothing to do with things like low pay, and being unable to pass the ASVAB and MEPS and the whole arrest record thing. Downsizing isn’t a thing either.  hashtag eyeroll.  Actually the funniest thing is the inference that using fiction to influence people is something new.

[sleepycleric-blog]

I know, right? Honestly, I like the commercials. I think they’re pretty well done and that it’s a smart move on the part of the Army. Hell, the IDF had a campaign back at Halloween marketing the usefulness of military skills in a zombie apocalypse. Whole thing read like a Buzzfeed article, pretty cool honestly. Either way, the imperialism charge is weak at best. If we were imperialist, the world would definitely know.

What the fuck are you talking about? Ever hear of Korea? Well over a century of imperialism in this region. The world definitely knows.

That’s 20950 more people than Hillary Clinton rallies!

0 media coverage.

I was there, like 10,000 people couldn’t even get in. How can people say that he doesn’t have a chance?

Clinton was touted by the media as the inevitable democratic nominee even when she and Sanders had the same number of won states and delegates. I found this to be ridiculous and believe this type pro-Hillary reporting was because the corporations who own the media (Comcast, etc) support Hillary. When the masses repeatedly hear from the major media that Sanders chances of winning are over, they start believing it and get discouraged.

How has your wife, Soon-Yi, changed you?

Oh, well, one of the great experiences of my life has been my wife. She had a very, very difficult upbringing in Korea: She was an orphan on the streets, living out of trash cans and starving as a 6-year-old. And she was picked up and put in an orphanage. And so I’ve been able to really make her life better. I provided her with enormous opportunities, and she has sparked to them. She’s educated herself and has tons of friends and children and got a college degree and went to graduate school, and she has traveled all over with me now. She’s very sophisticated and has been to all the great capitals of Europe. She has just become a different person. So the contributions I’ve made to her life have given me more pleasure than all my films.

You’re saying how you changed her. How has she changed you?

(Allen pauses.) Well, she’s given me a lot of pleasure. I adore her, and she’s given me a wonderful life. We’ve been married 20 years. And we were together for a few years before that. And she has given me the great years of my life, personally. She’s a great companion and a great wife. She has given me a stable and wonderful home life and great companionship. I guess whenever you meet somebody and they’re the right person for you, there is a great emotional contribution they make to your life.

But has she changed you in any way?

(Pauses.) Changed me? I don’t know if you could say she changed me. I don’t know if I’ve changed. I might be the same person I was when I was 20. I’m not sure. I mean, I seem to have the same habits, the same work habits, the same phobias, the same enjoyments. I don’t think I have changed much over the years at all. When you mention it, I try and think about the ways [I’ve changed]. I don’t know if I’ve changed much.

He’s disgusting. That first answer is just the creepiest thing I’ve read in a long time. (Link to the interview.)

College Freshman Stabbed to Death After Seeing Three Young Women Being Groped and Stepping in to Help

With final exams on the horizon, Donnell Marcus Phelps was all set to finish his freshman year at Fort Valley State University in Georgia.

The 19-year-old from Marshallville had been studying agricultural engineering technology but also found time to manage the university’s tennis team.

 And help those in need. 

Late Tuesday afternoon he witnessed a man harassing three young ladies. The man was touching these girls in a very inappropriate way, so he decided to step in. However, he was forced to bring fists to a knife fight.

An autopsy showed Phelps was stabbed four times in the upper torso with a pocket knife with a 3.5-inch blade.

“Words cannot describe the pain that we all feel in the Fort Valley State community,” university President Paul Jones said at news conference, offering condolences to Phelps’ family, friends, students and the entire community.

Johnson described Phelps as selfless: “He always gave us hugs, and he’d always check up on us,” she added to the Telegraph.

Donnell Phelps died a hero. His Mom did an incredible job raising an amazing person. God bless this young man for his sacrificial act of bravery. His life matters.

 RIP Donnell Phelps.

If you search “Native American” on Etsy, you will get 134,468 product results. Unless these items are made by Native people, it is illegal to label or tag products as “Native American.” This is a violation of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act and it needs to be reported. Everyday, non-Native Etsy shop owners upload and falsely label their products as Native American to get more sales. These unethical businesses seek to line their own pockets while taking valuable business away from actual Native American artists and small businesses. Please help us keep these individuals in check, and report any violation that you see to the Indian Arts and Crafts Board >> www.doi.gov/iacb #buynative not an #iacaviolator

i’m seeing a lot of people reblogging suicide hotlines and this is just a reminder that this is a suicide help line that works like a text-based instant messenger for people who may need to talk to someone but have trouble/are uncomfortable making phone calls

[groovian-whovian]

Never don’t reblog this. There are so many people who have such bad anxiety about phone calls. This can save so many lives

England, you stole tea from China.  You’ve had it a mere 4 centuries compared to their 30+.  Don’t play like you’re some kind of authority.
