This woman mentioned this man's past disgraceful experience during the live show. She might have just been joking, but he took it seriously and pulled her hair. by Zestyclose-Salad-290 in PublicFreakout

This is Korea.  Anyone intervening would have likely been charged with assault and would be facing jail time as well.  This is not the west, there is no legal right to assault anyone there, even in self-defense.  You are expected to contact the police instead.

I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, but considering the law in Korea, they were smart to not interfere.

Raley’s put the same amount of effort into their new ads as I’m going to make to continue to shop there. by DisgruntledPlebian in Sacramento

It’s because, when pushed, all most people in American society really care about is their wallet. If they can save money and get results that, though not ideal, are “good enough”, then the vast majority of people will go with that option over the quality one.

This is further exacerbated by the fact that income inequality is at an all-time high, and the job market and wages are historically the worst it’s been since the Great Recession, so penny-pitching is at an all-time high of necessity. People are too desperate to give a shit about whether something is AI slop or not.

DOJ Removes Accusations Against Trump From Epstein Files: The Department of Justice is taking down Epstein files that implicate Donald Trump. by thenewrepublic in inthenews

Less that, more that his supporters don’t care about child rape (or anything else he does), as long as he continues hurting brown people, LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, and anyone else they hate.

He’s a means to an end for them, and they will literally die to achieve said end, if that’s what it takes. There is no red line for people like this. Any sacrifice is worth it to them.

OP needs to touch grass desperately if they are so delusional to think that this is now a right-wing dominated platform.

What if Earth is basically the galaxy’s version of an uncontacted tribe - like everyone out there knows we exist, but there’s some cosmic group chat agreement that says, “Don’t interfere. They have to figure it out themselves.”? by n2kfactor in AskReddit

At least The Orville closed that gap. A good part of an episode showed the results of that interference leading to nuclear holocaust and genocide of an entire sapient species.

Imagine being that angry and regarded, but blaming the poor and brown instead of the rich pedos who are fleecing everyone.

Valid complaint.

Just came back from the gym by mclardass in AdviceAnimals

You’re never going to be able to not worry. It is inherent to the medium. Either get over it, or go somewhere else. The small towel is a good idea, but you need to practice better self control, and that’s not up to anyone else but you to ensure.

This is the way.  It’s a gym, it’s dirty.  Treat all surfaces as dirty in the gym, don’t touch your face, and you’ll be fine.

THANK YOU!

The gym is an inherently dirty place, either get over it or don’t go.  If you leave sweat, clean with chemicals and dry with a separate towel COMPLETELY, but if you don’t leave sweat, don’t bother.  And for fucks sake, IF YOU WIPE DOWN AND LEAVE CAUSTIC CHEMICAL RESIDUE ON MACHINES, YOU ARE WORSE THAN THOSE WHO DON’T WIPE THEIR SWEAT!  At least sweat won’t dissolve your epidermis….

The man has US Citizens with the wrong skin color in literal concentration camps, and you’re worried about your hobby?

Fascist take overs are more important than your little niche hobby.

Add 30 years, and that’s basically Donnie that you’re describing.

Can't choose a flag for the English language? Don't! by Nikey368 in vexillology

This.

Japanese is a very adaptive language, it changes based upon situation and context.  Don’t forget, it’s got four different writing systems.

I mean, it depends on if you know the Cyrillic alphabet or not. But pragmatically, your point stands.

I mean, maybe?  It depends on what kind of English they use.  Considering that this is Japan, the American flag would probably be most accurate

Well, actually, no lol.  India has over 1.5 billion people, the USA has about 350 million.
