I have some bitcoin, but I think it's a fucking piece of shit and should go to 0 and die

- Send me your dirty bitcoin bc1qt50wljwlj346a9xl...AQUTE
- Which part is the confession - owning bitcoin or hoping it goes to 0?CyBrainX

I don’t understand the vietnam war, at all. Best i can figure is we were murdering innocent people en masse because it’s possible that some day they may become communists? And that really bothered us because boomers are obsessed with communists for some fucking reason?
And then they became communists anyway and the world never ended so what was the fucking point?
- No wonder rambo was so butthurt all the time. Shit was stupidscarabin
- Yeah, that's it in a nutshell. After the French Indochina War / and the partitioning of Vietnam we first tried to destabilize the South Vietnamese government..garbage
- ..after half-assed aid attempts failed. Then we went full Wandering Soul and Gulf of Tonkin.garbage
- #Winningutopian
- If you haven't read about it, it's really fucked. We captured vietcong and recorded them making spooky ghost sounds telling them to go home.garbage
- Blasted them from boats, helicopters, hidden speakers in the woods.garbage
- And then did some actual false flag shit by faking an attack on a US destroyer, which set everything to 11.garbage
- So yeah, no wonder Rambo was fucked up lolgarbage
- Oh and one of the ghost scripts in our psy ops was Vietnamese folk ghost, name translates to "the tightening knot", that encourages people to kill themselves.garbage
- amazing. i would never think of the the ghost sounds thingscarabin
- McNamara and the US thought they were fighting communism but the Vietnamese were fighting for their freedom. USA leadership = idiotsnb
- i'm watching this doc from the vietnamese perspective about their tunnels. fascinating but truly sad stuff https://youtu.be/19e…scarabin
- @scara Great link, will watch. Can't imagine being a person in the tunnels and hearing a voice be all "Hey this is your dad, I just died, come home and bury me"garbage
- @nb I could be wrong, but I think top brass knew there was no hope for a capitalistic revolution from the locals..garbage
- ..but it was a lie fed to the troops and PR against anti-war sentiment back home. McNamara was a lot of things, but stupid wasn't one.garbage
- I think in some ways it was similar to what happened in Korea and China, all these countries were destabilized by WW2 and afterwards you had communist andyuekit
- capitalist sides battling for control. This was during the heyday of communism so it seemed like an existential threat from the Americans' point of viewyuekit
- to watch country after country get taken over by communists. Little did they know the communists would someday be manufacturing Nike sneakers and Airpods.yuekit
- It's not an exaggeration to say that the US and China both saw what the Axis powers almost accomplished, both saw the world was potentially conquerable..garbage
- ..and immediately started long-term plans for getting a foothold in every power vacuum in the region.garbage
- Right, and it worked lol...and here we are todayyuekit
- From the Vietnamese perspective however, I think they view it as a long series of conflicts that led to their independence. First against the French, thenyuekit
- the Japanese, then USA, then afterwards Vietnam invaded Cambodia and China tried to invade Vietnam.yuekit
- It seems like most Americans only know about the part we fought in, which Vietnam calls "the American War."yuekit
- My public school had like a single paragraph about itscarabin
- I think we're about the same age (mid-30s) and my public school actually taught that we won the war in Vietnam.garbage
- wait till you learn about the US involvement in Afghanistan.jonny_quest_lives
- and because they aren't white. Somehow we're always more comfortable bombing not-white people.sarahfailin
- There is this recent documentary by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick that goes into details https://www.youtube.…uan
- I learned about the Ken Burns effect from scarabin years ago on qbn...that's why I bothered to watch that doc. what I remember: shows both side in detail...uan
- you'll need to find the episodes on youtube or elsewhere to watch. it's 18 hours in total. "The Vietnam War (2017) - A film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick"uan
- my high-school history teacher called it the first war based on purely propaganda.sted
- I’ll check it out, uanscarabin
- On a fundamental level, it was a sectarian civil war. The US didnt invade, it was invited.Brabo_Brabo
- Baby boomers were being sent there or smart enough to leave the country. It was the older generation that gave us the red scare.CyBrainX
- on a positive note, we got some of the best songs of the rock era_niko
- growing up as a kid, my family worked with and employed hundreds of Vietnamese refugees, these are the hardest working industrious and clever fucks I've ever me_niko
- ...met. America never stood a chance lol_niko
- Lots of those Viets would be on our side... they had to flee after the South was over run.Brabo_Brabo
- The irony is, Vietnam today is very pro capitalism while many Americans no longer believe in free markets.yuekit

I find really difficult to explain this without expressing any bad desire for possession or low-level despotism. We haven't talked for years because of this and whenever some kind of interaction is necessary it feels like shit inside.
So I'm just going to leave my side of the story here:Didn't bought the painting because you said that mine will be the 001. Which made me very disappointed. If I want a poster reproduced a million times I would go to Ikea, or produce something by myself and print it at one of the local shops. I wanted a work of art, made by you, which I fell in love with.
It wasn't about that you fucked my ex. and I still don't get it why you apologized for that.

I confess, that I find wayyyy much hotter the right-wing politician women than the leftists...
Fuck it! They're waaaaayyy more attractive, the left-wing politic candidates in our region/country are... Eeeeckkkk!!

I brought a super hot girl home with her dude friend to do blow after the bar one night. It got busy ... she was like I'll suck your cock if you let him first.
I feel like it was a good trade.

People are having a hard time with COVID19, struggling with work, isolation and obviously health issues.
But, *whispers* I’m loving lockdown.
I’ve taken a three month mortgage holiday, I work freelance and I’m working on average 1.5 days a week to cover my bills while using the rest of my time to get stuck into my own projects. I’m lucky enough to have a decent sized garden and green space fairly close by; so I can get plenty exercise.
So yeah, my confession is that lock-down is right up my straßë.
- For the most part, I'm enjoying it too. **SHHHHHH!!** I worked from home anyways, not freelance, just remote. We're getting lots of house projects done!elahon
- i got a gov't coronavirus loan, refinanced all my debt at 0% then turned down two jobs on the same day while drinking amaretto sours from my hammock.kingsteven
- i work from home and also hate to go out anyway, for me nothing changed either.renderedred
- i work for a big company, seated between 2 managers (toughest seat in the house) so i am LOVING quarantine. and they say my comms are better. like hell yeah cuztrooperbill
- ...i dont have you two nitwits half listening to conversations and chiming in with irrelevant comments and suggestions, casting doubt on my abilities.trooperbill
- Pros: Made more money, lots o' family time, finished home projects, tons of art studio time.
Downside: Marriage counseling :( We're doing better now.bezoar - Working remotely before this, so nothing changed.grafician
- I'm loving it too...no crushing london commute, working remotely, lots of time for making art and music. An introvert's dreamBaskerviIle

I ate beans today and now farting like a cowboy.
- How do cowboys fart? I'd assume, with their legs set wide apart over the back of a horse as they are, that they'd be fairly quiet?Nairn

Last year I made $120K in the stock markets (via stock options) in only few weeks and lost all the profits in few weeks after because being too greedy and some other dumb shit. Man I was so dumb, still licking the wounds. Could’ve bought a fucking Tesla or a lot of toilet paper.
Sigh. Easy come, easy go.

I can't find it now, but - I've been repeating the confession someone made here a wee while back, wherein they're a tall cunt and when they go to the toilet on a plane, they piss i the sink instead of the toilet because of reasons and such.
True or not, it now is in the minds of a few of my friends: Tall people piss in sinks on planes. All of them.
- why tho? why does the opening of the receptacle need to be closer to their dicks?dopepope
- They don’t. Just one really sick person confessed doing it for no good reason at all.monospaced
- I think it's more of a ceiling issue. I'm not a tall cunt, but i have to stand with my back arched backwards like some kind of Dickensian caricature, to pissNairn
- ..'course I only fly 737 or A340 class intermediate range planes, none of your fancy wide circumference 747 or A380 shit. Pissing in those must be heaven.Nairn
- *A320Nairn
- I’m 6’4” and never once even thought about peeing in the sink.Gnash

Just over 2 months ago I lost an airpod while out shopping. I was actually secretly excited at the loss as they weren't the latest generation (no wireless charging).
I found a deal online where I'd save $20 @ a local Walmart (instead of $199 they were $179)... the pods would be ready for pickup within an hour (w/out waiting in line etc) so I bought them and jumped right in the car and headed over.
When I got there it turns out I arrived too early, that the order hadn't appeared in the system yet. I showed the kid my order on my phone, he looked it up online... there it was. The kid told me to hang tight and ran and grabbed me my airpods... and I was off.
About a month into owning my new airpods it was travel time... lots of airplanes, cabs, public transportation and family car rides in the future. Of course only a day into our trip I manage to lose the entire airpod set (they were in the charger... I lost the charger).
***QBN PSA*** //BEGIN
Don't buy these fucking things... they're immensely overpriced and far too easy to lose.
***QBN PSA*** //ENDOur trip consisted of staying in a few different cities. Our first city (on day one) was Las Vegas where my brother happens to live. My brother picked us up from our hotel (in his car) and we headed to get a quick lunch before driving back to his place to grab his luggage and then have an UBER pick us all up and take us to the airport to catch another plane to another city. This all occurred over 2 hours... somewhere in that 2 hours I lost the airpods. I was POSITIVE it was in the UBER ride to the airport.
So... it's been a month since I lost the airpods. I hadn't given them a second thought until about a week ago I can email from Walmart telling me I hadn't picked up my online purchase yet (my airpods). *giggle... uh... yes I did. The email also informed that I had been issued a full refund. *giggle... really?! I checked my bank account and there it was.
Then... not even 24 hours go by and I get a text w/a picture from my brother:
hehe... my brother FedExed them to me... they're literally in my ears as I type this story to you. The money is back in my account...
... should I feel guilty?
- We just had a similar experience. We didn't pay for our last month of our sons day care. We called and emailed to let them know. They aren't getting back to us.lemmy_k
- We tried one last time, but they aren't returning our calls. I'm not going to chase them down and force money on them. At least try to correct the mistake,lemmy_k
- It's not worth the bad Karma.lemmy_k
- Don't feel bad, its Walmart. fuck em, run by evil familydee-dubs
- I found a set of AirPods, in their charger, just sitting at the airport. I tried to return them but the airport wouldn’t take them. I waited 2 hours. Kept them.monospaced

I ghosted someone I was seeing. I couldn't bare to tell him why I wasn't interested.
1) He was a flat eather for real (weird someone else posted something similar) but I couldn't get over it. I thought he was an idiot for that. After he really tried to defend that, a lot of other things he has said that I might have let slide sounded rediculous and rang in my head. The lack common sense was actually offensive.
2) One day I thought he ghosted me. He did not. After a date we had he ended up really sick and in the hospital and had half of his intestine removed. Long story short, he has a colostomy bag now. I tried, really tried, to hang with him again after that. But, it really grossed me out. I couldn't get over that either. Our relationship wasn't really a relationship to begin with at that point just a few casual dates and I couldn't stick with it. But, I feel a little guilty. I know hes going to have a much harder time dating now and everyone deserves happiness. He's fairly young (early 30s) and having to shit in a bag is unfortunate.
I'm not sure what really did it for me, point 1 or point 2. Probably point 1 but point 2 didn't help. I just left him on read for eternity. His last text, "Are you ghosting me?" actually triggered the for real ghosting. At first I just meant to give myself some space to think. But, when I read that text I said to myself, "Yes, that is definately what im doing." I may apologise after some time. But, I don't want to date him anymore even if I do speak to him. We have no mutual friends or work in the same field. Just someone way out of network I met on an app. Sometimes things just don't work out. Does it really need an explanation?
- *earthershellie
- i would do the same thing.pango
- however id send a simple text in few days "ya... this is not gonna work out"pango
- It's been over a month now pang. I feel le its possible he's completely forgotten about me and reaching out would be worse/triggering. What you think?shellie
- point 1 is infinitely worse. you could have lived with #2, shit happens._niko
- I see what you did there niko.shellie
- ;)_niko
- oooof ya passed the point of no return. let's hope you don't run into him on the street. and or that you have the endurance for awkwardness.pango
- That would be like ruining into him in times square when you live in queens. Unlikely. We didn't hang in the same places or live near each other. Thnk god!!shellie
- It is better you did an Irish exit early on, he's got bigger concerns and it's healthier he focus on the future ;)robotron3k
- Not fan of ghosting, but to be with someone just out of pity is worse. It's best for both to end itdrgs
- Don't date flat Earthers, but don't ghost people either. Too late now, but a simple 'it's not working for me' is better than a ghost. No judgement :)sarahfailin
- "I'm a flat earther" would had me running out the door before finishing his next sentence.hotroddy
- red flag. suspended indefinitely.hotroddy
- don't feel bad about ghosting. flat earthers should be used to it.hotroddy
- He actually tried to make his case with like hr long YouTube videos. I had to put my foot down & stay stop. HE said "You really like when i shut up." Uhm, yes!shellie
- Flat earth is the dumbest unlikely and expensive conspiracy for no fucking reason. Give me a break!shellie
- He deserves the respect to hear "it's not working out"Hayoth
- Aside from basic science, it makes zero sense even if science as we know it was wrong. I literally cannot get on board.shellie
- You're right haygoth. Its probably the meanest thing I've ever done. Im riddled with guilt. At this point im worried about making him feel worse.shellie
- How hot was this guy that you continued to date him after you found out he was a "flat earther"??????fooler
- @fooler That part unfolded slowly. That was basically our last date before he ended up in the hospital. I probably never would have seen him again after that bushellie
- when he called me from the hospital, I was kinda shocked and sad for him. So, I let him come over one more time because he was finally able to be outside movingshellie
- around and he said he just wanted to feel normal for a minute. :(shellie
- 1 text - "roses are red, voilets are blue
The world is fucking round, yes I'm ghosting you'dee-dubs - ^lol. simple and to the point.hotroddy
- he made people watch hr long youtube video LOL. best idea anyone ever had.pango
- Can't date a flat earther. There's no future in it. Imagine being at a party five years in and the subject comes up. You'll hate your lifenb
- ghosting is childish. Just text him you're sorry but not interested and THEN don't reply anymore eversrhadden
- Are there really that many Flat Earthers out there? I'm kind of amazed more than one of you have had this experience...yuekit
- Let him know that you can’t date somebody so incredibly stupid they can’t accept the fact that we live on a planet. He can live with that.monospaced
- And a colostomy bag is a deal breaker. Don’t feel bad about that. He isn’t too idiotic to know that is disgusting.monospaced
- Hayoth seems to know as much about relationships as he does communism (literally nothing at all), so I wouldn’t give his input any weight at all.monospaced
- This sounds to me like you ghosted him out of disgust, not out of disagreement.cannonball1978
- You ghosted him.
Now his bag is filling with rage
Mostly shit, but now with ragefuturefood - Mono-- I don't know what's worse - being a flat earther or defending communismhotroddy
- lol... from colostomy bags to communism... this post delivers!PonyBoy
- wait... so if I believe the world is round and I don't have a colostomy bag I might have a chance to date you? Sweet!fooler
- hotroddy, worse is the guy who calls people communists when they aren’t, and worse than that is the one who thinks people are defending itmonospaced
- Because there are no communists here or in our government or really anywhere in this country, and nobody is defending it. That’s you and hayoth 100% making it umonospaced
- flat earther is enough.autoflavour
- Posting this here was the right choice. A colostomy bag full of rage? You're getting coal for Christmas @futurefood. Welcome to the club.shellie
- And by coal, I'm talking about Trump's coal. Big lumps shaped like T and covered in gold foil wrap.shellie
- set?mekk
- Colostomy bag isn't a death sentence - there are people who will look past that.ben_
- So he'll be fine.ben_
- oh wait, he's a flat-earther. he's fucked.ben_
- Shellie, maybe he just wanted to get rid of you. And when the flat earth thingy didn't work he got his intestine removed.NBQ00
