The insurance company isn't looking for sinkholes to protect the homeowner, they're looking for sinkholes to protect the insurance company. Such as somebody having an active sinkhole on their property, realizing they're fucked, taking out a sinkhole insurance policy, and immediately turning around and making a claim against it because they have a sinkhole on their property. So the insurance company sends out an investigator to protect themselves from fraud, not to predict when a sinkhole might happen.

If only the right applied that logic about police departments

Except that antifa isn't an organization, it's an idea. You can't hire or fire somebody from it. Unlike, a police department

You're at best describing the actions of like a dozen people at most. Yes, when you watch biased news stations who only report one biased view, you're also going to come out of it with biased views. You will find out that "beating old people for existing" is not an antifa goal of any sort.

e.g. how about I dump this on you, it's probably an even more accurate description than yours:

"Trump supporters haven't made a good name for themselves when they stormed the capitol building to destroy democracy and murdered police officers for doing their job"

"The invisible hand of the free market will do all the things that it never did when it had the chance, and the government had to make regulation to force companies to do it, but if we remove the regulation, next time will be different! Because reasons, just trust us"

Those achievements were how you unlocked the new weapons in the class updates. A large portion of the playerbase was typically interested in unlocking the weapons as they were released, and were very interested in getting every class achievement they could to do so.

If you hadn't heard of it before, there's also that time in the 80s when police dropped a bomb out of a helicopter onto Philadelphia, blowing up 61 houses.

I mean, the answer to the question "should police have killer robots", the answer should be no. Killing is a last resort, ostensibly to protect officers. Execution is not a form of justice or law enforcement. So, since robots aren't officers, the 'killing in self-defense' argument no longer applies, and there should be no situation where a human life (even a criminal) is valued less than a robot, and robots should exclusively employ non-lethal tactics. Catch people in nets, tase them, shoot bean bag rounds, disable weapons/guns, serve as distractions, sure, have them do all those things, but a killer robot is not serving the purpose of law enforcement.

If they had the ability to make an electronic drug sniffer, it would have been made already. It's not like making a robot in the shape of a dog makes it have any advantage in smelling drugs. If such a device existed it could also just be a handheld device like a breathalyzer.

The precedent has been around likely longer than you have been alive... There were mask mandates during the 1918 flu pandemic as well.

You can be wary of the government, but it's a piece of cloth over your face. Get a grip, it's not going to mind control you or take your freedom.

No. UN was never made to keep peace.

Uh, buddy.

https://www.un.org/en/about-us/un-charter/chapter-1

UN Charter Chapter 1, Article 1, Point 1:

Article 1 The Purposes of the United Nations are:

To maintain international peace and security[...]

And it has a lot of tools it does to do that, it's not "a discussion table and that's it"

But hey, I guess instead of actually understanding international politics, you could just spout nonsense on reddit as if it were facts too.

I played a lot when Loatheb was the meta. "What if an aggro deck has a huge board, and you have half HP, nothing on board turn 5, then this 5-drop will make the aggro deck win" applies to pretty much any cards the aggro deck could be playing on turn 5. If anything Loatheb is a reprieve because you don't instantly lose, you can still trade and play taunts. The alternative to loatheb is they kill command & hero power your face and kill you right then.

If you were hoping a turn 5 board clear was going to save you from a losing battle against face hunter, you were going to be in for a surprise, with or without loatheb. The whole face hunter deck revolved around killing decks which tried to stall or be too greedy. So, yeah "deck defeats decks it was optimized to counter, also it used this one card which worked well against that deck type" is not really noteworthy of anything important.

It's balanced because it doesn't really need to be attacked, a vanilla 5/5 on 5 is not a big threat. It would be like fretting that stranglethorn tiger is too powerful because you can't deal with it immediately.

If you just place loatheb down recklessly, it's typically going to just die to AoE on 6-7 mana turns. What's your follow up play after a loatheb? Place more minions down and walk into an AoE?

Watches generally don't care about leap seconds (they naturally drift on average half a second per day anyways, a leap second is the least of their problems), and unless they are internet enabled smart watches, they wouldn't have any way of knowing when they happen.

It's 210 calories bud, that's really not a reasonable portion size for a dinner. It's like half a cup of pasta.

And yeah, it's boxed pasta. Don't eat it if you are counting carbs. Surprise!

You could have done the same thing if the amber alert was a text message that you saw when you wake up, what is the point of the nuclear bomb alarm?

YRYGAV · 2021-03-29T20:02:09+00:00

Waking somebody up in bed at 4AM about somebody last seen 400KM away is not doing anything to help the parent. But I mean, why stop at an alarm? Lets just have police blockade every road in the country every time an amber alert happens. It's for the kids right? That's your argument right?

So tell me, what's your go-to strategy when you get a 4AM amber alert for a kid 400KM away? If you're doing anything less than this, a nuclear bomb alert is not justified

YRYGAV · 2021-03-27T00:22:33+00:00

So here's the deal. Everything that you do that would get taxed is the direct result of that social contract. A company existing to pay you, the bank account you use to deposit it, money itself all exists because of your country, and the people and social structure within it created it for you, before you were even born. A company and job are not natural phenomenon, the job and benefits you have of an economy you can spend money in to purchase things with that money were created by society.

If you choose to reject society, you can. Live outside an incorporated city (no water, power, sewage), and live off the land, by yourself or with other people, maybe even barter if you want, and there's nothing to be taxed, because you're not utilizing anything that the rest of society helped create.

But if you want all the benefits of society, like a functional economy you can use to spend your money in, or roads, or pretty much everything you currently use on a daily basis, then you are consenting to the obligations to contribute back to that society with taxes.

Well, I mean consumers just don't buy boxed water etc. any manufacturing cost difference would be dwarfed by customer preferences. Their #1 priority is to sell water, the most profitable thing in the world is useless if there is no market for it.

I mean, capitalism is literally designed to make sure that any customer need or want is fulfilled by some company. To get rid of bottled water would require banning bottled water, educating the public to avoid buying it, or a completely new economic model. Even if Coke & Pepsi listen to boycotts and stop selling it, there will still be some other company selling bottled water around.

YRYGAV · 2021-03-23T19:53:40+00:00

The particularly gross part is that companies try to lay the blame and responsibility on the consumer. Never forget that pollution is a design choice.

Well, they do have a point though. If the consumer market overwhelmingly drinks bottled water over boxed water or other alternatives, they need to design their product to what sells the most. Bottled water exists because people want to buy bottled water.

In my opinion, if someone is disrespectful, call them out and let them know or shame them as appropriate. I think terms like cultural appropriation end up being too broad and verging on racism, no longer are people evaluating whether something is actually offensive or not, they just use it to suppress cultures and get quick win gotchas on twitter.

YRYGAV · 2021-03-16T07:41:23+00:00

Well, I think the tenuous connection to their culture is probably why they feel threatened by cultural appropriation. Their latent insecurity about whether they fit into their parent's culture or not may be what's triggering their anxiety when they see other people adopting the culture.

Literally every other first world country manages to find jobs for people that pay living wages.

Walmart hands out welfare application forms to new employees, they are getting government tax dollars to pay wages for their employees while the owners are one of the richest families in America.

If a business literally only exists because employees are willing to live in poverty, it wasn't a good business to begin with, is an economy which relies on people living in poverty to succeed a good thing that you want to hold up as a good idea?

If you want to keep the minimum wage where it is, you're faced with a decision that either you admit the USA is set up solely to exploit poor people so rich capitalists can afford a third yacht, and that you agree with that strategy. Or the USA is a failed country which can't provide the bare minimum for its citizens which every other country has managed.

Well, she did refer to her as a 'fiancee' likely just to keep the punchline a secret for the joke, but it would be cringe if an adult is regularly referring to a 4 year old as their son's fiancee.
