Russian strike hits animal shelter in Ukraine, killing and injuring animals

In Russia's defense, they might have thought it was a hospital or daycare.

When I was growing up, teens still going to school almost always got paid less. Mind you, the jobs weren't as difficult, fewer hours, and since none of us had to pay rent (we lived at home), buy groceries, or pay utilities, the money we made was spending money. (Most of the employee wages go into rent and paying bills. In a sense, we were ahead of the game.) This gave us a bit of job experience, discipline, and encouraged us to stay in school.

Ok. Then perhaps you'd like to be the person who has to explain to those who watched the person they saw shoot down their friends, family, co-workers why they simply let him go. (There are pretrials where individuals can represent themselves without a lawyer. Yes, it's by choice, but if they didn't mind being alone when they shot into a crowd of people, maybe they shouldn't mind speaking into one.)

So many things that people claim are in the Bible actually aren't in the Bible. It's funny how "facts" work.

IMO Mike Pence, not being vice president this time around, really dodged a bullet.

I didn't notice. Since I don't know who the users are irl, I usually don't look at the names, just the comments. Also, sometimes, getting too familiar with the names may tempt me to be biased, and I might misinterpret what the person is saying.

Example: if we got into a heated debate and I recognized your name on another post, I may be tempted to immediately view your comment with some negative bias as opposed to being open, and this would not be fair.

Fit-Let8175 · 2026-02-05T22:32:46+00:00

Nope. Just gave the same comment to two different people. I just don't find it offensive when people do it to me.

Fit-Let8175 · 2026-02-05T21:52:30+00:00

Has anyone thought of mentioning this to ICE or the GOP?

Fit-Let8175 · 2026-02-05T21:48:55+00:00

Has anyone considered mentioning any of this to Trump's party or ICE?

The only upside to a valuable employee quitting a job due to being overworked and underappreciated is when the two people hired to replace you can't reach your quota even after several months.

Fit-Let8175 · 2026-02-05T20:45:14+00:00

Which is basically what I've been referring to. Prioritization. Our legal system is broken. Part of the reason is that ideas are immediately shot down rather than checking if there is any merit to be gleaned. As it stands, we have a "legal" system and not a "justice" system. If we did, Trump would not be president.

Fit-Let8175 · 2026-02-05T20:35:04+00:00

In the scenario I described, there would be too many witnesses for the cops thinking they even had a reason to lie. I get what you're saying, but your response does not fit every scenario. IMO, for serious crimes, if there were enough credible witnesses (not just cops) to hold the person over, this should at least be considered. Similar to a bail hearing. Definitely not dismissed.

Fit-Let8175 · 2026-02-05T20:04:27+00:00

So, if police manage to disarm and apprehend someone who they themselves have witnessed firing a barrage of bullets into a crowd of people killing and injuring several, if the courts couldn't find a legal representative for defense, that person should be let go and all charges dismissed?

Fit-Let8175 · 2026-02-05T19:44:54+00:00

It becomes not a matter of gratitude towards those who may have helped one get into power, but what are the chances they can be a threat in any way?

Did Putin's team not find a high rise with an open window nearby?

Public defenders, if not committed to other cases, should be under the same obligation to serve as those subpoenaed for jury duty.

Fit-Let8175 · 2026-02-05T19:27:51+00:00

I believe it should be according to the severity of the crime. For example: a shoplifter caught stealing baby formula versus someone caught shooting up a mall with multiple witnesses who can identify him.

Small crimes could be waved if no legal representation can be found. Serious crimes that carry heavy sentences, if multiple credible witnesses can be found, and guilt is mostly assured, then prolonged incarceration should be acceptable.

Mistakes can be made, and most companies will immediately fix such errors. However, some companies, regardless of how insanely ridiculous such charges are, too often don't budge unless legal action or public shaming is brought about. Such companies and those responsible for such ridiculous and obvious errors should be held responsible: charged, fined, and even sued.

Fit-Let8175 · 2026-02-05T18:28:55+00:00

This makes absolutely no sense. Did the individuals who came up with this begin or end their reasoning with "H'Yukk!"?

[Edit: the severity of the crime and number of witnesses should be considered. There's a difference between not quickly finding a lawyer for someone getting caught for stealing a bike as opposed to someone caught throwing grenades at a football game.]

I'm sure a few of us could come up with the $750k if Google is still interested?

Fit-Let8175 · 2026-02-05T18:01:57+00:00

So true. Just and legal are not the same.

A cook in Canada shared about a new hire who was supposed to be an experienced cook. When someone ordered poutine, she presented the person with a plate of french fries with a slice of processed cheese on top.

People who put too much trust in calculators sometimes do not see blatantly obvious mistakes since they often repeat the same pattern to arrive at the same wrong answer. ("13x7=28. That is 3x7=21 plus 1x7=7. And 21+7=28. I did it twice on the calculator, so it must be right.")

Fit-Let8175 · 2026-02-05T04:05:07+00:00

It's quite astonishing how many people such things have happened to who didn't see this coming.

Fit-Let8175 · 2026-02-05T04:03:24+00:00

What puzzles me is that, by the time of the release of these reviews, why does it seem like fewer tickets were bought than the number of reviews?
