Massive respect to the men and women who stick with their teaching careers despite not being paid, respected or honored in any way by Western society.

America isn't the entirety of western society

It only takes about a tenth grade level of understanding physics and chemistry to make a decent device from scratch. With the access Americans have to over the counter explosives (tannerite) and arduinos you only need enough of an education to know how to copy and paste code. Relying on people being uneducated isn't a good strategy because these things are extremely easy to make. I work with some people that I question whether or not they can read who build effective devices with little to no effort.

And how do you think unions come about? Historically it's by setting things on fire.

So many people don't seem to realize this, even people living here. The amount of people I work with who are shocked that my wife wasn't granted immediate citizenship and is still going through the process 7 years and two children later is quite high. I like to bring it up when they talk about how easy immigration is in Canada and how we're being overrun by immigrants.

I take apart bombs, missiles and other explosive ordnance for a living, and sometimes we have to wrap certain components or fuzes in aluminum foil to lower the effects of RF on them for transport. The general rule I follow is if you could put it underwater and water would get in, then radio frequencies won't be deadened. So if she wants to be protected then she would have to create a watertight seal around her head and do us all a favor.

So why bring it up? It has nothing to do with the comment and nothing to do with the topic of the original post.

Woke is when people fall out of your aircraft and then you kill your own employees

Ah yes, the sphere, before they put that monstrosity up Vegas was a shining beacon of anti consumption, fighting the tenets of capitalism one casino at a time. Definitely a current day thing, no history of anything of this sort in Vegas.

Maybe being the kind of person who refers to it as sloppy 1/80s has something to do with it.

Looked up the site and it seems like they also don't have Between the Buried and Me or Protest the Hero so it seems like it's one of those "exclusionary to be pretentious and no other reason" kind of sites

The chest and stomach windows

Are too similar

for me to not see it

The outfit alone was enough for my wife and I to both instantly go "oh that's some Barbarella looking shit". The context of it being at a scifi premiere cemented in my mind that it was an aware homage but I could be wrong.

I feel like everyone is missing the clear Barbarella reference with this outfit, which is fitting for a scifi premier.
