To add to that, hope is the opposite of fear. Every "I hope" statement can be rephrased as an "I'm afraid" statement.

I'm afraid she doesn't like me back.

I'm afraid I'll oversleep.

I'm afraid this comment will be lost on the readers.

It's important to maintain the "I hope" mindset.

I hope you're wrong.

To give a real answer, "I hope" leads to action. "I'm afraid" leads to inaction. Action is required to progress. Inaction is required to regress.

I've never regretted anything I've done. I only regret the things I didn't do, the thing I didn't say, the feelings I didn't express.

My mistakes were required to grow and learn. They're part of me and don't define me; we're all better than our worst mistakes.

When hope is all you have, that's when you need it most. Hope is what makes you get up and do what you have to do to make it another day. Without hope, we'd give up. Never give up. Once you give up, you've lost, even if you regain the advantage.

I love the multiple pairs of skid marks leading up to it. By about the time the thought forms, "I wonder what that's about" the wall comes into view

people ignored it

Maybe you and your friends did. My friends and I didnt.

Also, forget about the massive amount of puts that were purchased against the only two airlines involved in the hijackings just days before the attack.

Oh, and forget about the fact that the building owner profited $300 million by purchasing an exorbitant insurance package after buying the building only nine months before.

Also, definitely forget that Building 7 and the section of the Pentagon that was targeted were housing all the personnel and evidence involved in the biggest financial crimes investigation of the century.

It's possible and common to be happily married and in a healthy relationship with someone you love deeply and who also gets on your nerves sometimes for very specific, but also very human behavior.

Loving someone means loving all of that person, flaws included. We accept the little annoyances because overall, that person adds more to your life than they take away. Acknowledging this fact of human relationships is one way to embrace those flaws, and thus, that person.

Stay home all day long, no matter what, on January 3rd, 2022.

Everything else is fucked.

We don't need to get rid of anything. All we need is for billionaires to pay as much taxes as the rest of us.

You're supposed to say, "it's like that for cable management purposes."

Dumbells and a bench

Ask New York City. It's expensive af every time a change needs to be made underground because you have to dig everything up, and once you're down there, it's just a nest of wires in conduit so knowing which one you're supposed to work on can be a challenge.

Underground wires have to be insulated to prevent short circuits to ground. The longer a wire needs to go, and the more power it needs to carry, the thicker it needs to be. Since insulation goes around the outside, this increases exponentially and the cable quickly becomes mostly insulation in many cases, which is expensive and inefficient.

Also, there's only so much ground you can dig up before you hit bedrock. So, in some cases, power infrastructure expansion is limited because there's nowhere to bury the wires.

In many places it's easier to let the damage happen and repair it cheaply.

You're painting with broad strokes. The people who died in the tower aren't the same people who commit international atrocities.

By and large, the average US American doesn't want war, genocide, or human rights abuses. The government operates independently of what its citizens want and has monopolized the right to violence to an extent that makes meaningful resistance nearly impossible.

In b4 all the Canadian kool-aid chuggers calling the US a "literal shithole country run by nazis". Go do something with your life besides huffing hate propaganda. Do you hate North Koreans this much too?

It's more like two escaped prisoners still chained together

It's spelled "stench"

Bin Laden fathered 24 children, the first of which was with his first cousin when she was 16 and he was 17. They went on to have ten more children. The other 13 were spread amongst five other wives. They also found several beheading videos on his computer. He also believed muslims should kill any US civilians they find until the US withdraws support for Israel.

I think definitely killing and maybe molestation would be on the table.

People just buy an early access game like they buy a normal game and treat it like that’s the game.

Yeah, because devs release an early access game then treat it like that's the game.
