The truth is a lot of people doing professional video editing and things like that are using these displays that are mounted in place and they have stands already. When they upgrade displays, they take them out and put them in the same place and they don't need to buy new mounts and new stands for them.
In an oppressive society if a group stands up to take care of the lambs, it automatically stands up against the wolves.
Somehow I find it easier to inhabit characters if they are a little bit pathetic. I do seem to have an affinity with pathetic people.
Personally, I think people need to get over this 'being offended' thing. Being offended does not give you the right to silence people. I get offended by things all the time - it's just part of life. The right not to be offended is not a human right, especially in a democracy.
Fear is the parent of cruelty, and therefore it is no wonder if cruelty and religion have gone hand-in-hand. It is because fear is at the basis of those two things. In this world we can now begin a little to understand things, and a little to master them by the help of science, which has forced its way step by step against the Christian religion, against the churches, and against the opposition of all the old precepts.
It stands for diversity. It stands for vision and strength. It stands for belief in the right things. That's what I think it stands for.
Unless I have my aunt or my boyfriend to take care of me, I'm a little pathetic.
So, the tendency of our childish nature is to take small things too seriously and get easily offended, whereas when we are confronted with situations which have long-term consequences, we tend to take things less seriously
When you know someone you can make a little more fun of them without them getting offended.
When we believe or say we have been offended, we usually mean we feel insulted, mistreated, snubbed, or disrespected. And certainly clumsy, embarrassing, unprincipled, and mean-spirited things do occur in our interactions with other people that would allow us to take offense. However, it ultimately is impossible for another person to offend you or to offend me. Indeed, believing that another person offended us is fundamentally false. To be offended is a choice we make; it is not a condition inflicted or imposed upon us by someone or something else.
My sex life has gone from bad to pathetic. My G spot stands for godforsaken.
I could talk all day, T stands for talking, T stands for tender, T stands for things that don't even rhyme with T.
I've recently learned not to take things personally. We can get offended by anything if we want to.
The mind of a man that loves God does not fight against things or thoughts about them, but against the passions that are connected with these thoughts. That is, he does not struggle against a woman, or against one who has insulted him, and not against the images of them, but against the passions that are aroused by these images.
I was known as a Yankee killer. My best year against them was 1953. I beat them five times and shut them out four times. You just played a little harder against them.
People are so offended by female body hair. SO offended! They actually say things like, 'Ugh, those hairs are so long.' But we have no issues with a man being head-to-toe hairy. It's so weird.
