Most of the people who died in Germany’s camps weren’t killed “on purpose.” They simply couldn’t survive the conditions, and died of disease, malnutrition, cold, and so on. This is a feature. Explicit killing “on purpose” is just the backup option if things aren’t moving quickly enough.
Tito smoking Cuban cigars in the White House while sitting down with Nixon is also hilarious.
Nixon told him, “Mr. President, we don’t smoke in the White House.”
Tito laughed and said, “Lucky you!” and finished his cigar and no one attempted again to make him stop.
Sure let’s go ahead and restart the pointless argument, that sounds fun.
The mentality “Why did this person punch me, all I did was steal their wallet, how dare they” is indeed extremely unhinged. There’s a lot about American society that considers property “rights” of the wealthy to be sacred and personal safety of the normal people to be optional, and sure, that’s fucked up on a systemic level. But none of that applies to street pickpockets. Fuck 'em.
(I sort of suspect that there’s a lot of overlap between then “there is NEVER a reason to assault a person over your property” contingent and the “there is NEVER a reason to call the cops” contingent, too. At least when they are talking in internet fantasy land, I sort of suspect that if someone came in their house and started rifling through their belongings they wouldn’t have this turn the other cheek stance about it.)

Shit one had fake elctric wallets to shock the shit out of thieves and only got em confiscated
Lol fuck yes
Oh, I thought you meant no email address required to make an account.
Just having to register in order to read the feed is probably just for server load reasons, if I had to guess.
That’s not how it works though.
I actually agree that registration is silly. It’s trivial to create fake email addresses; all it does is present obstacles and slight privacy implications for legitimate users, while forming an incredibly mild speedbump for malicious users. But, it’s probably not going away, every little tool in the toolbox that can be deployed by overworked volunteer admins against the unending tide of malicious users trying to make their lives more difficult is probably going to get deployed if it is easy to do.
Hey did anyone say loops yet?
All of you in this thread are fucking psychopaths
Kalamata olives and similar little food objects are fine, they are often delicious
Eating the rest of these unflavorful little saltpellets on purpose is a ridiculous thing though
Honestly this is a great and perfectly realistic outcome. Of course, assuming ICE doesn’t just seize all the voting machines for the next election and Trump wins by 104% (which I think is a lot to ask at this point).
If, somehow, we have free and fair elections coming up, then a splintered right from the bullshit Musk and Joe Rogan put together or whatever, and a splintered left because their constituents want them to stop making it legal to hunt Palestinians for sport, makes it perfectly sensible that the dinosaurs who run our government could declare that some form of post-19th-century voting system that would enable a little bit fairer outcome than FPTP is what’s needed. And, when the dinosaurs want something to happen, it usually actually happens, without all this molasses speed when it is merely because of people dying or whatever the problem the regular people are having is.
Oh… yeah, you’re right. No idea then.
Even your own posts will be hidden from your own profile, if you have “show read posts” unchecked, I think. Like I say it has some pretty weird behavior sometimes.
Democrat politicians

We need a leader

The problem is that with any type of FPTP system, any compelling leader outside the existing power structure will produce the opposite effect as their stated policies are.
Something like Bernie Sanders trying to drag the Democrats over to some kind of human policy matrix is actually a realistic possibility, but it’s definitely an uphill battle… but there is plenty of precedent on the right for a successful leader just hijacking and overriding the existing power structure and taking it in his own direction, it’s definitely possible.
They definitely do check. I don’t know how detailed the checks are or how major a crime it is to use someone else’s info, but there are enough checks in place, you can’t just type in Porky Pig or made-up nonsense or anything.
Lots of luck with any one of them, but that’s the answer
Google bought Waze, so at this point you’re probably not making any Israeli spies money if you make use of it. On the other hand, you’re making Google money, which is almost as bad.
I actually rephrased my statement and made it in the exact way that I did because of the Lord of the Rings. The movies are excellent, easily good enough to be masterpieces by Hollywood standards, but they are still a pale imitation of the original.
This is actually a consequence of how votes federate out. They go out in batches, all at once, after a little bit of a delay.
I actually do also think that people are artificially trying to rig the votes about particular things (and frequently the admins catch some people doing it with careless obviousness), but this isn’t an indication, it’s more difficult to detect than that.
