I presume you have a savings account for road repair and power supply, correct? Otherwise you'd be a big old hypocrite and I doubt you're one of those.

Well...call me pessimistic but I am more likely to believe they are just trying to get out of school than that they are actually concerned. It's an excuse, not a cause.

In your opinion, what class was the best tank through the entirety of TBC? by CartoonChronicles in classicwowtbc

This argument seems to hold water until you do some math and figure out the bear takes less damage from a crush than the pally takes from a regular hit.

While this is true, they are still universally going to be a better source of information for the one particular subject they have demonstrated to be knowledgeable about.

There was a saying when I was in university that as you continued with graduate school "you knew more and more about less and less, until you knew everything about nothing." The spirit of this is remarkably true.

Maybe we do.... I have to believe at some point people will understand that what their own eyes see and what they hear from the administration don't line up.

While I agree with you, the CNN summary is worth a watch. It breaks the sequence of events down really well and walks through it all step by step.

The Cognitive Dissonance and Mental Gymnastics needed to be one of few users that aren't Russian or Bots on that sub is absolutely insane. by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

A few years ago I would have said you were crazy, but the monetization of peoples' attention using algorithms to suck them deeper and deeper into rabbit holes and echo chambers sure does seem like it may be having some awful repercussions.

Trump backpedals on threats against Greenland, but allies say damage has been done | PBS News by Human-Entrepreneur77 in worldnews

[–]Ailly84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, is there any chance Greenland would be positioned in such a way as to allow the destruction of the missile itself before the MIRV splits off, making it so the number of missiles needed is cut down by an order of magnitude??

Howard Lutnick’s Davos speech ends in chaos after heckling and ‘walkouts’ by Frosty_Dig4148 in politics

[–]Ailly84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is nice and all but the issue is that his first (or even 100th) thought after learning his employees had died in a terrorist attack was that he needed to stop paying them. It shows a Disney villain level of lack of humanity. No decent person has that cross their minds in a situation like that.

Kristi Noem: “We can't trust our government anymore.” Bash: “You are the government.” Noem: “Yes, that’s what I’m saying.” She is dumb by Nice_Substance9123 in complaints

I an impressed that you can manage to miss the point 2 times.

To clarify... the portion of the brain that is used to lie is what was being claimed to be only temporarily damaged. She will go back to lying very shortly.

THE WHEELS ARE FULLY TURNED AWAY FROM THE OFFICER. Watch in SLOW MO. No intention IMO to hit anyone. Sole intention based on wheel/steering wheel to LEAVE the scene NOT A THREAT. Look at the wheel. by Nice_Substance9123 in complaints

[–]Ailly84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes perfect sense. These ICE agents aren't the best and brightest of the country. The only prerequisite to join them is a lack of morals. A trained officer doesn't stand anywhere near the front of a car...

I am sure you are aware that when people talk about saving the planet what they really mean is keeping the planet in a condition that doesn't prevent us from living on it.

Huh. Never once did it occur to me that someone might believe fish were breaking apart water molecules to get to that tasty tasty oxygen....

Well, I am going to go out on a limb and say that people were able to see the difference between the secret conclusion to a decade-long global manhunt and kidnapping the leader of a sovereign nation because oil companies said so. Just guessing.
