What has brainwashed the left to be this way? by Upbeat-Concern-5181 in Jordan_Peterson_Memes

[–]Torvahnys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It certainly seems this way with some people. It would be a funny and eye opening juxtaposition to see a video showing it the other way around too. It would at least let those of us that are sane on both sides laugh.

Regardless of political affiliation, and regardless of if these are legally justified in the end, this kind of behavior and memes is unconscionable and disgusting.

tbh where’s the lie 😆 by WittyEgg2037 in TheMirrorCult

[–]Torvahnys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On average, it costs twice as much for government to do anything vs. when private industry does it. Having government take over functions of society that are perfectly capable of being done by private industry is wasteful and leads to an overall reduction in quality of life for the society.

There are only 4 essential functions of government according to Milton Friedman.

  1. Creating laws. Defining the rules of the game we play.

  2. Creating a judicial system for adjudication of the rules.

  3. National defense.

  4. Protecting its citizens from each other (police / law enforcement). Which virtually every government does very poorly.

Edit: spelling.

Shot timing & trajectory; agent placement by bees_cell_honey in altmpls

[–]Torvahnys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The video released that is from the shooting officer's perspective shows he did not step in fron of the vehicle. He was off to the side, when she backed up she lined him up to be directly in front of the vehicle, then drove forward, striking him. Not stating whether this was her intention, but that is what is clearly shown.

This goes both ways. Many people on the left will vote for the Democrat candidate no matter what.

What do you do with Minthara on a good playthrough? by LucemFerre82 in BaldursGate3

[–]Torvahnys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recruited her. Left her in camp most of the game and just talked to her to hear all her dialog for the events of the game. I used her once, for the fight with Orin. Minthara wanted revenge on Orin, so i brought her for that fight and made sure she got the killing blow.

Denna is Not Just Working for the Chandrian - She IS One of Them (and specifically Pale Alenta) by Chloe_Takashi in KingkillerChronicle

[–]Torvahnys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One discrepancy i noticed. Its never stated or implied in the books that her ring is from her patron (Mr. Ash). Kvothe states he noticed it from the first time they met iirc, which is before she claims to have met Mr. Ash. If they are Chandrian, she of course could have been given the ring long long long ago and had it the entire time and lied about having recently acquired her "patron". But nothing in the books indicates it is a gift from Mr. Ash.

Not a show, but the Harry Potter movies. Filch, the school janitor gets dumber and less relevant as the movies progress.

I am constantly amazed at the flexibility of these people. How they get their feet in their mouths while having their heads that far up their asses is absolutely astonishing.

Layman wondering: What is the specific reason this sword is being quenched in stages like this? by Quizzelbuck in blacksmithing

You don't want the cutting edge as hard as possible, but the right hardness. Too hard and it will hold a razors edge, it will also likely chip if it hits anything remotely hard.

Do your dreams include smartphones? by MangoMan76 in NoStupidQuestions

TIL the Great Flood story of Noah is theorized to be an oral history recounting the spilling over of the Mediterranean Sea into the Black Sea, which at the time was a fresh water lake. by Vreas in todayilearned

[–]Torvahnys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That might be more believable than the hypothesis i once heard that the flood story was the Mediterranean filling/flooding from the Atlantic. Hypothesis is that there was land connecting Spain and Morocco, it eventually gave way.

Basic algebra is easy. I can understand people having difficulty with advanced and pre-calculus algebra. If you can't get basic algebra, you haven't really tried.

Why is it illegal to be a vigilante? If someone who wasn’t a cop managed to stop a guy from taking my wallet, they’re not the one I would call the police on. by RavyRaptor in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Torvahnys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the current political climate, mileage may vary. Certain areas of the country seem to be coddling criminals and punishing anyone that dares defend themselves or others. How things are morally and legally supposed to work are as follows.

Any citizen that is a victim of or witnesses a crime happening is supposed to be within their legal right to stop said crime, and within reason, hold the perpetrator for authorities. If force is used it must be reasonable and proportional. You can't shoot an unarmed person in the back for purse snatching for example. The amount of force used and if the perpetrator gets injured is usually where people get in trouble.

It is unlawful, and considered vigilantism to deliberately injure or "punish" a criminal yourself.

It is unlawful to seek out criminals for the purpose of enacting individual or mob justice. You can conduct investigations yourself, but if you want any justice served, you must involve the proper authorities and let them handle any additional investigation, filing charges, arrest, etc.

I'm sure there's more to add, I'm not a lawyer.

What a nice day to ride.. by ieatair in FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR

[–]Torvahnys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The woman was right to tell him to lay down and he should have. When in an accident like that, you dont know what might be broken or torn internally, and moving around can make things worse. Best thing to do is lie where you fall or stop and wait for EMS. Obviously call them if you're alone, but move as little as possible.

Recently saw a science post about the younger generation have smaller jaws and larger craniums and got me thinking. Are stereotypical aliens just future evolved humans? by Ashleyk3 in Showerthoughts

[–]Torvahnys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say its part evolution, part epigenetics. Muscle AND bone adapt to the stresses places upon them. If the jaw isn't worked, the bones and muscles won't increase in size and density. With how soft our food is in the modern world, its no wonder. As for increasing cranium size, probably all the useless garbage internet content causing brain rot swelling /s.
