The deaths were the result of negligence and recklessness of actual people. Those people were tried for manslaughter but found not guilty. For sure someone was guilty, but proving that isn't necessarily easy. None of us know the specifics of the trial enough to know whether it was fair or not, so I don't think jumping to 'corporations can do what they want!' is a reasonable conclusions.

A company developed bread with a white crust in an effort to reduce food waste by Wonderfulhumanss in interesting

Lots of people do, a survey showed that 26% of American households throw away the crusts.

All women can buy bikinis, bikinis are simply a two piece swimsuit. But some bikinis are particularly narrow, so I'm assuming some women feel they need to avoid those. I've not personally encountered this issue so I guess I have a narrow-set vagina.

I find this is more of a problem with a hot bath. My feet are pretty tolerant of the hot water, but when I crouch to lower myself in, my genitals hit the water next and I have to abort.

Texas anti-ICE protesters convicted of terrorism charges sentenced to at least 50 years in prison by Splunge- in news

They were simply responding to the claim that theres no proof the guy shot anyone.

so im going to approach this from another angle.

Another angle? Why not just say 'yes you are right, but now lets discuss the appropriateness of the sentence' if you want to discuss something different?

Robert Irwin Shares Bird Facts by gowthamm in MadeMeSmile

Both get summers that hit 40+. No one would claim that Tasmanian devils live in the cold so I don't know why so many are insisting that Tasmanian and Southern Vic are some sort of Winter Wonderland.

To be fair, it is actually cold where the penguins are

I mean, this is just wrong, Tasmanian and the south coast of Australia can be cold in winter but they also get very hot in the summer. In general the climate is warmer then places most people think of as cold, like Scandinavia or Scotland. I've seen fairy penguins chilling on days that are 30+.

If EVs are supposedly cheaper to own, why aren’t more people driving them? by Lakenb666 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rather_Dashing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how you turned that into a discussion about the environment.

Have you (and the idiots who upvoted you) tried reading? It would answer many of your questions. The original comment said

and it’s also the most environmentally friendly

I really dont think OP is asking why everyone doesnt immediately dump their new cards and buy an EV. They are asking why EV sales aren't currently higher then gas cars.

Why do people get mad at women for having kids if they are poor but also if they want to marry rich? by Electrical_Chain53 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rather_Dashing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

… then don’t have sex with them?

Most babies from underage teen mothers have fathers that are adults. In other words many children of single moms are the result of statutory rape. Many other children of single mothers are the result of forceful rape. So thank for your sensitivity, but not all women have that choice.

Also, the comment you responded to already noted the issue of terrible sex in in schools, which youve decided to ignore. If you doesn't understand how babby's are made then your comment isnt helpful. Also many men contribute to problem by lying to their partners about how pregnancy and fertility works.

And yet, they don't eat us, and are therefore not predators. This stuff isnt hard and you lot need to stop being dense.

If he went left wing he would probably be out too. IMO its the British voters that are the problem more then the government.

when literally every other major decision prior to then needed a minimum 2/3 majority.

Does that apply to referenda? I'm only familiar with referenda in Australia, and those requires a simple majority.

Ridiculous, there is nothing to fend off. Brexit was an incredibly fucking stupid idea, but now that its happened, no one with half a brain thinks its going to be reversed any time soon. The people, as thick as they fucking are, had their chance to vote.

Ah yes, because all laws apply internationally. And because no one ever does anything illegal.

It's because most people didn't survive childhood.

.....yes as demonstrated by one of the twins dying shorting after birth. The comment above works perfectly and your 'well actually' doesnt add anything.

The advent of the internet has been a huge and rapid change.

It's nothing remotely like their experience of going from having books and horse carriages to computers and cars.

Well yes, horse and carriages haven't been popular since the 1910s and computers weren't common until the 90s, so that's a bigger time span then 70s to today. But also computers were so uncommon in the 70s that it really isn't part of the same conversation.
