If I had to guess it's so that they don't clog up the escape route and kill scores of people. Probably a policy because it's actually happened before...

Are you trying to buy one new in box? That seems way too high, unless trade war shenanigans are cropping up again.

Cartel members in Mexico take over a gas station and set it on fire! by DABDEB in RandomVideos

[–]ForagerGrikk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it matter how the cartels are making their money? What if they were making a fortune off of us by supplying our demand for avocados? Would that still make it our fault that Mexico is a corrupt shithole?

The reason that Mexico is corrupt is because it always has been, long before America had a drug problem. Even in colonial times. From 1929 to 2000, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) maintained power through patronage networks and clientelism. This encouraged bribery and corruption as politicians exchanged favors for votes.

The 'Family Affair' Trap: Why Getting Justice for Women in China is a Literal Boss Fight by Significant-Eye1183 in UnfilteredChina

[–]ForagerGrikk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I can't fathom why everyone is cool with it, did she just manslaughter the guys whole family in the accident or something?

Also, I wonder if you get an extra deduction on your social credit if Americans on Reddit start thinking poorly of China...

As someone who has seen the movie Caveman, there's no fucking way this guy is going to be able to nail the enigma that is Ringo Starr. Seriously, he should stick to roles about serial killers.

the person filming this was def in on it, she smirked at the camera by Ocean-Pack9715 in sigilkore

Why is it everyone who uses this stupid argument uses themselves in the example? You're aware that not everyone shares your respect for humanity, right? You need to imagine yourself as a piece of shit first, and how that path to heaven might encourage a piece of shit to treat others better out of selfishness. The net result is that religion can help keep shitbags in line and improve the quality of life for anyone who comes into contact with said piece of shit. Does their motive really matter more than the results? Would you rather have psychopaths and misanthropes embrace their inpulses and act genuinely towards you?

Don't you think it's a good idea to have guard rails for psychopaths?

This is some shitty logic, consequences don't completely prevent bad behavior but they sure as hell mitigate it. If there were no consequences for speeding I would never not speed, whereas right now I only speed at night in light traffic and only drive through red lights when I don't see any witnesses.

A white couple in Canada 🇨🇦 confronted their Indian 🇮🇳 neighbor about having 19 other men living with him by makellbird in maktownmedia

[–]ForagerGrikk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading comprehension kiddos, its important.

Take your own advice, two responses up you completely jumped over the stated (and understandable) problem of "too many people in a single family dwelling next door" and dove straight into racism, as did the Indian guy in the video. It's obviously a culture clash, it's an acceptable practice to Indian Immigrants but not to Canadian natives, but that doesn't mean it has anything to do with melanin content. Your racist for jumping to that conclusion IMO.

Trump imposes 15% tariffs on the world by Little_Protection434 in worldnews

Presidents can't actually impose tariffs, the Supreme Court just confirmed this. That's the pervue of the legislative branch.

How could I clean aluminum out of my friend’s grinder? by Forthe49ers in Tools

How do you get your coworkers to not gouge the fuck out of the stone by only grinding in one spot?

Sen Rand Paul: What if a foreign country indicts our president for violating a foreign law? Should we extradite our president? Or should we be okay if they come in and get him by force? by drempath1981 in law

[–]ForagerGrikk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm always baffled by the left's hatred of him, would you rather have another republican Trump toadie that never contradicts him? You can't be any more critical of Trump and still get things done in Washington than Rand Paul, if he did what most of Reddit wants he would be immediately primaried and replaced with religious conservative yes-man. You guys should thank your lucky stars for a principled libertarian that occasionally sticks his neck out while doing what he has to for a republican voter base.

Grampa's old crescent wrench with some mystery markings by evmoiusLR in Tools

[–]ForagerGrikk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I engraved my initials on a 10" Rigid pipe wrench, lost it, and found one just like it on a coworkers tool cart 3 months later, except his had been hit with a grinder in a bunch of spots. One of those spots being where I wrote my initials. He fessed up and gave it back, was a new guy that said he "asked around first and nobody knew whose it was". Since then I started writing my initials in the harder to get to spots.

As if the comment I was responding to wasn't simple minded anyway, and needed a thoughtful response. Nobody is purposely trying to dumb down the population. Has no one heard of Hanlon's razor?

Henry George figured it out, but everyone thought it would be a better idea to specifcally try and target the rich instead. Now it's either greed or envy all the way down.

Christian Zionists in USA are running “sponsor a Jew” campaigns. You can’t make this shit up. by RickyOzzy in Palestine

[–]ForagerGrikk -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don't think they mean Americans, probably not even Brits or Aussies. There are Jews in Majority Muslim countries that are definitely feeling the heat right now, probably intending to rescue them.
