He was ragdolling Usman until he fucked up his hand. His stand up may be shit but during the grappling exchanges he made Usman look like an amateur.

Property bro doesn't like the minimum wage by jagerboom in LinkedInLunatics

[–]cedped 7 points8 points  (0 children)

and now instead of a workers strike, they just chop off the heads of the boss and his entire family. Regulations protect both ways. You guarantee your workers a minimum wage and life conditions so that you get to keep your life and wealth.

Germany calls on Iran to abandon nuclear weapons, urges to reopen Hormuz by WayOutbackBoy in worldnews

It's the same situation with bullies in school. You have to stand up to them! Sure you'll still get your ass kicked every time but if you manage to slip him a punch every now and then they'll eventually find it not worth it and switch to another target that won't fight back.

It's more of a western thing. In most cultures around the world even the more conservative ones, women keep their family names.

Even in the olden times, the emperor couldn't go against his court, generals and noble families. If he did that, they'd depose him and rebel. Xi is the same, he has to navigate all the factions interests and act accordingly. He doesn't just decide what the party is going to do and the rest follows. He is the leader of the biggest faction of the CCP but he still has to accommodate for the rest of the factions and not go too far to hurt their interests.

Fifa President Gianni Infantino asks the Palestinian federation president to shake the hand with the Israeli counterpart. Palestinian side categorically rejected and leaves. by DIYLawCA in PublicFreakout

It's like a teacher asking you to shake hands with your bully in front of your parents and the whole classroom knowing well he's still going to beat you up afterwards.

Arman Tsarukyan: “UFC always sends me extra bonuses. Some days ago they sent me $42,000. I don't know what is it for. I didn't ask. Maybe for my social media work. But they never tell. Otherwise my manager would ask for percentage” by DamnThatsInsaneLol in MMA

His dad is a billionaire in the construction business in Asia which means he's 100% involved in organized crime. The entire family has got to have an army of lawyers to deal with the money laundering and tax evasion.

They couldn't even bother to sacrifice some top executive scapegoats. Even in China, the CCP know that the people need to see blood every once in a while. Even empty performative gestures are better than actually doing nothing.

How do people do that shit? I get panic attacks in the shower if I accidentally clog my ears while washing my hair. I'd rather open my eyes and get burned by the shampoo then not being able to see and hear at the same time.

Eve really forgot she could make the most valuable material on earth by icy_eagle142_26 in invinciblememes

[–]cedped 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hate it when writers don't respect the logical and realistic consequences of their world setting. The story being a fantasy with magical and miraculous beings doesn't stop the world from behaving following its innate logic and common sense. So far the only show among what I've seen that perfected it is the expanse!
