In principle, you should absolutely be punished for unprovoked violence against anyone - including neo-national socialists.

But I don't think it's morally wrong to find it hilarious when someone gets a deserved punch in the face. Yes, the WBC should get to sue anyone that punches them, but I won't feel guilty for looking up the footage and getting a good laugh out of it.

Off Topic / Re: Recommend me caffinated drinks / energy drinks that are not coffee

« on: January 21, 2017, 07:46:56 PM »

So yes, I hate coffee but I need something to wake me up some mornings. Give me your energy drink suggestions and in a day or two I will buy everything and try it all. I will probably hate most of your suggestions because I'm super picky about drinks.

Oh, also whatever you suggest it shouldn't be milk based. That's actually one of the reasons I disqualified coffee. Sugar is of no concern because I'm already underweight.

You can always just drink coffee black. If it's too bitter for you, try to find a blend that's lighter.

Otherwise, my advice is just to incorporate caffeine pills into your diet. At the same dosage, they're no more harmful for you than a cup of coffee. Just take the pill, crush it up, and mix it with your morning OJ.

The only reason I don't recommend typical energy drinks is because they're unhealthy as forget. You're basically drinking stuffloads of sugar, plus way more energy-inducing compounds than you actually need. A 200mg caffeine pill plus OJ is far safer.

yeah i defo agree, i just think that's the idea of it

Ah, I see. Yeah, in some respects I can understand where the idea comes from. "Buy American" sounds nice and patriotic until you realize that we're actually wasting potential.

pretty sure the main point is to try and encourage economic growth within the nation. in the long term, maybe it'd work out, tho there would obvs be negative short-term (relatively speaking) effects.

You might have mistyped, but all economists agree that free trade encourages economic growth and protectionism stifles it. It's like one of the few things they can find a common ground on.

Because you can't compete with Chinese sweatshops. Free trade =/= fair trade

The consequences of reversing our trade agreements is that everything we got cheaper from third world countries is suddenly being made by American workers whose labor is more expensive. If you can pay a Bangladeshi 1/5th the federal minimum wage to make t-shirts, expect that your t-shirts are going to cost a lot more if made in the US.

Not only that, but everyone who could have been working in a more lucrative service-based job (which the US is better at than any other country) is now suddenly under-utilizing their potential, meaning our economy takes damage.

here in nature, we see the opinion trying to dig it's way into other's in the wild, but it's no use.

It's just my own opinion - not fact.

Well that's who Sam Hyde is, I personally don't really like his stand up because a lot of it isn't funny to me, but his personal videos form his cell on YouTube loving crack me up.

I agree with this 100%. He's a promising comedian but he's very hit-or-miss.

People like you are so stuffty at conducting yourselves that you apparently believe inappropriate posting or even a single step out of line socially constitutes friendry. This dismissively toxic browbeating is exactly why threads go off the loving rails. It's people like you who cause issues to multiply into several. Is this also what you consider okay and 'normal'?? Do you not know what restraint is? Do you not have any idea how people react to things? Is it perhaps intentional? I honestly don't know because bullstuff of this degree tends to make lines really blurry.

I had to check a couple of times to make sure that wasn't a copypasta. That was pretty eloquent.

I was trying to reference some conversation that happened a couple weeks ago, but clearly nobody remembered it. Either way, I know Beachbum is just joking.

I went through and watched all 6 episodes just now and there's not a single hint of anything political whatsoever, the closest the show get's to any form of politics

There's some really subtle /pol/ jokes but nothing the average person would notice. I agree though - it wasn't canceled for being political, it's because it was terrible.
