He prided himself on being Mr free thinking military procurement person. But the revolution in war that Ukraine have led through force of necessity just does not fit his narrative.

Lmaooooooooo if OP really prided themselves on caring for others, wouldn’t they themselves step outta the elevator instead of pushing a handicapped person away?

It's true: 2 years ago the DoJ wasn't filled with evil liars. It was filled with hyper careful conservative (small and capital C) lawyers who prided themselves on being able to win to the point that they wouldn't bring a case if it wasn't a slam dunk.

But that ended 2 years ago, very publicly.

It really sucks. Over covid, I was scammed four times in a year.

I had always prided myself in being able to avoid scammers.

I love history (studied it, in fact). And I always prided myself on knowing a little more about American history than most Europeans. But the last ten years have humbled me. There is a LOT I didn’t know - especially within the period from 1865 to 1945. Blinded by a certain perspective, I guess..

You know I’ve prided myself on not doing that. But you’ve changed me. Im going to be a better, more empathetic to stupid people person.

Starting tomorrow.

Saw via a vtuber feed a transwoman who self labeled as a yandere and prided herself on making people lolcows and bullying them into deleting their channels and this image flashed in my head

You're not better for becoming who bullied you online but with a TransTwist. You're repeating their bullshit

Honestly the whole "Howlingmutant has a mixed race son" thing isnt even that surpising when you consider the right prided itself on having a big tent. Guys were running around during Trump 1 and Biden named shit like "TheHinduDindu" and they were some of their star Quarterbacks

Oh I absolutely agree, we always lag behind.

I wish it wasn't like this.

Living next to a behemoth such as them, sh*t tends to spread here faster than down there from us.

I think we prided ourselves on not being like Americans, knowing this. But since Carney, *sigh* much came as a shock to me.

The British Army always had a saying that the US were the best kitted out army in the world and the worst trained, whilst we prided ourselves on being the other way round. Mind you. I'm not so sure that we could organise a piss up in a brewery in those days.

*que up Lil Wayne's song 'How to Love' in the background*

Man! I know you never had great examples of healthy love & don't really know how do it, & consents not something Ancient China prided itself on, but you need to practice asking for permission instead of forgiveness

I love how "fixing plumbing and electricity in other people's house" is clearly maternal instinct while *hovering over a skinny teenager to make sure she empties her plate and tinkering your prided recipes until she does* is, in fact, not.
And seeing gender identity as a diet is... *chef's kiss*
images that spring to mind unbidden, part 999: "trans-inclusive radical misogyny" // "women should stay out of kitchens"

Even Israel is having a hard time of it in their latest incursion into Lebanon because Hezbollah is using drones like crazy and the Israelis who've always prided themselves in being on step ahead of their opponents are struggling to adapt.

There is no "Canadian exceptionalism".

The only thing we prided ourselves on really being is not being like the yanks.

I agree with you on the rest.

Once, I was a bodybuilder. I was the strongest kid in my school. I prided myself on being able to pick up a grown man and throw him over my shoulder by the time I was ten.

I've been the Heavy Lifter of our haus for years, but last week I couldn't lift a heavy thing. I'm 55: end of an era, tbh.

I’m gonna get the answer on the Tip question for myself. I have a plan of attack here that shouldn’t make it too hard, just a bit tedious. If I really wanted to be lazy I could get a CBS homie to ask SportRadar but I always prided myself on beating the Radar folk to answers. No crutches lol

Walter Isaacson - “Getting shocked was a badge of honor for Woz. He prided himself on being a hardware engineer, which meant #QuoteBot

Immigrants. I am so old that I remember when Americans PRIDED OURSELVES on being a “nation of immigrants.”
Who are these racist punks who can’t be proud of that???

I remember in the 1900s when I took tests my teachers PRIDED themselves on our tests being close to the actual tests. Worked well into psych class. Portion MC portion essay. Less hard essay less MC because 50 min class but I BREEZED the AP test so fast.

This is not Australian values. We've always prided ourselves on co-operative policing This is the sickening US and Israeli influence over our govt. The militarisation of police only leads to Fascism.

The sophistication that mainstream pop professionals prided themselves on could in fact be fully expressed by 'semi-professionals', but now it could be blended into a much broader range of reference points as an equal rather than a monarch, and with different versions of 'sophistication'

People then will notice bills going down, even Russians who psychotically prided themselves on not transitioning are buying EVs now.

stay organized, remember what I’ve told people, what files I’ve sent, etc., even with both physical forms and a Trello to reference. I’ve done nearly 1k comms in my career and have previously prided myself in being good at communication, but it’s fallen by the wayside, and I sincerely apologize.

So, all of the below is kind of spitballing my thoughts based on their foundations that they were effectively a viking-like culture that grew from a mildly nomadic pastoral group that gradually spread west (land) and south (ocean).

They also prided themselves on discoveries and recording them.

For a party that prided itself on being about family and religious values, they sure turned out to be a bunch of empty suits.
