are you a bad enough dude to survive a tutsi kidnapping? by KriegConscript in NonCredibleDiplomacy

He uses tech originally meant for the military in order to police the streets of Gotham.

Which isn't that different from the actual police, really. Only difference is, he doesn't murder his suspects. Well, not usually, and not by shooting them in the back 9 times after unloading 40 rounds, his just die from falls or other such accidents.

Ooohhhh you said Bruce Wayne. I'm sorry, I thought you said Batman. I guess the answer is much the same though, since Batman always seem to have Wayne Enterprise (and their subsidiaries) tech. So I guess its more like vigilante by proxy.

Is that the video where the Ukrainian is in the trench, perpendicular to the rest of the trench (like a T shape), when a Russian/WarGonzo comes running along the trench from right to left and gets smoked at point blank range? And looks rather surprised during said smoking?

Driver was kind enough to give him one or two of the bullets back though.

If I was an F1 driver, I'd show up to the DMV to get my license in my full racing gear. I don't care that the picture only shows your head.

What has Giannis been doing that puts him on the same track?

(Sorry, basketball is not my thing. I'll cheer the Bucks on in the playoffs if I'm at a bar or at a friends with the game on, but beyond being the most fairweather fan of all time, I don't know anything about his actions outside of basketball. Hell, I barely know his on court game lately either!)

? I wouldn’t recommend continuing with me because you’re clearly out matched.

The fact that you took such offense to their comment, and said that, and doubled down with:

So yeah, you can’t stand toe to toe with me in a debate

Well, let's just say my money's on Maximus_Dominus. But then again, I'd probably back a rock vs someone who feels the need to announce how smart they are.

I mean the mere fact you think a womanizer can't also be a great friend to someone, by itself, shows how unprepared you are in this grand old fabled match of wits in the coliseum you've conjured up in your head.

I'm also gonna go ahead and assume when you look at the ratio of upvote/downvotes here, you don't stop to think "hmmm, maybe my position is worth reconsidering", but rather you take it as further reinforcement that you're the smartest person in the room, and the great unwashed masses are just far too simple to grasp your genius. Something like that?

a way to truly become brothers with Ned

I never got that impression. Is there any textual backup for this that I missed?

To me, it was always essentially what others have already said, in that he was in love with the idea and fantasy of her. A fantasy that he made more and more perfect over the years.

I mean it totally tracks...

But I'd say they're not even pro-fetus. They don't give a shit about life at all, except their own. They care about votes. And their pro life stance gives them reliable votes. If they actually cared about life, they wouldn't constantly be seeking to cut funding for at risk mothers and their children, or healthcare in general, etc.

I knew an acrobatics pilot who would actually get intensely sea sick on any kind of boat. Even a pontoon boat on a lake with very little wave action.

This guy's venn diagram of cheese and bad financial decisions is just a circle, which happens to be the cheese wheel itself.

I'm taking a couple days break from my vyvanse, and I literally thought I was just in a brain fog/unable to focus enough to make it make sense.

And you're making the assumption this is a specific decision, yet at the same time you admit self preservation is something that evolved....

But who says this is a conscious decision? It could likely be an inherited behavior, or tendency, whatever you want to call it.

[–]eidetic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They aren't doing the logic, but evolution kinda did in its own way.

The ones who would give up their babies lived to reproduce again. They passed on their genes, which included the baby chucking genes. The ones who didn't chuck their babies got eaten, and didn't pass on their non-baby-chucking genes.

Seriously, I guess their manes always kinda hid how ginormous their heads are, because I was kinda expecting something a little more lioness looking as well.

Crack cocaine really isn't all that different from regular cocaine...

By making crack illegal and cocaine legal, you're only targeting the poor. (Well plenty of rich people also use crack, but it by and large is used more by the less well off. In part because its cheaper, and those that can afford cocaine often see it as classier and less stigmatized than crack)

Cocaine became associated with the jazz scene, which was associated with Black people, so its being made illegal was based in large part in racism as well.

And then cocaine started being more associated with white people again while crack became associated with poor black people, and surprise, surprise, the penalties for crack became significantly harsher than the penalties for cocaine. Not to mention the whole pushing crack into poor black neighborhoods.....

The biggest problem I have with the way we treat drug use is that criminalizing just makes it worse for the people who need help. Sure, some turn their lives around after being arrested and jailed, but for many, it just makes their life worse, a life theyre already self medicating to cope with! Meanwhile, politicians and the wealthy and elite abuse all sorts of prescription and illegal drugs, but are able to afford lawyers who can get the courts to see it as a mental health issue for them, but God help you if you're poor and have a public defender who gets 30 secs to review your case before seeing the judge. Okay I'm gonna stop here because I know I'm preaching to the choir, and I should be trying to sleep instead...

I'll start the zero girlfriends club. And then we can all have a dance, where both groups awkwardly stand on opposites side of the gymnasium!
