I still don't understand why that happened. Like I voted for him, but the Nobel Prize? Be realistic here.

Everyone who had a reason to feel strongly against it was either a racist or was blown up.

Isosceles_Kramer79 t1_j2o0oym wrote
Oh the irony of that second clause. :)
And it was a mind boggling decision by the Nobel Committee, almost as bad as giving one to Arafat.
When Obama got the prize, he had just taken office and did not actually do anything yet.

yeah once he got the award, he could really ramp up those drone strikes, its not like people win it twice in a row or anything.

Haunting-Ad788 t1_j2otc8f wrote
Obama did jack shit to earn it when he got it and he definitely didn’t deserve it after he droned two US citizens without due process, one of whom was a teenage boy.
Apprehensive-Hat5979 t1_j2nzmeo wrote
I love how people just are blind to history. Do you know how many people were upset that we had a black president in office. Do you forget how racist people were and how scrutinized he was for any kind of wrong doing he commited in their eyes? Do you remember how him wearing a tan suit was such a point of contention among conservative white folks. God he deserved better.
Isosceles_Kramer79 t1_j2o0yqi wrote
Criticizing giving the Nobel Prize to Obama is not racist even if there were instances of actual racist attitudes toward him.
What had he actually done by 2009 to justify that prize?
Apprehensive-Hat5979 t1_j2o1z98 wrote
Well this is from Norwegian Nobel themselves...
"Obama has as President created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations. Thanks to Obama’s initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened."

I remember when he said we were pulling out of Afghanistan. I agree it was a big moment. I’m white and I was pretty young in 2008 so it might not have hit as hard for me as for black folk or POC in general, I’m just saying that Obama overall didn’t contribute much to peace outside the US when looking at his overall policy decisions.

You really think Dolly Parton listens to Three 6 Mafia? I highly doubt they are on her playlist, lol. She is wholesome and kind, Three 6 is... not. I've listened to Three 6 since HS in the 90's, but it really doesn't seem like something Grandma Parton would be in to.

Oh and finding pure nitrogen gas in 2023? Forget about it.
Unless you do something for work that will justify to a local company they should sell you a large cannister.

Ok, can I assume you had a reason to be there? The lpcal company requires a business to purchase it. Individuals cannot purchase the pure stuff if they aren't using it for work in most cases.
I doubt its like that everywhere. So refer to the rest of my other comment on how likely this method is to fail.

I was overdosed on dilauded in a hospital, went into respiratory arrest, my o2 was 22%, I was blue and seizing. My ex husband gave me sternum rubs to keep me breathing I remember waking up mad because all I wanted to do was sleep, I didn’t care when he explained that I was dying. An OD can be a very pleasant way to die.

I was on Dilaudid for an extended period (about 3 weeks) for a major, MAJOR hospital stay I had. That shit is scary and it actually started giving me nightmares. I could see it being an extremely peaceful way to die and after 3 weeks in the hospital, the willingness to keep fighting becomes harder and harder to find.
I had them pull me off it as soon as I wasn't in near constant pain.
