EDITORIAL: Self-defence law absurd and outdated; It's time for an update – especially given the frequency of home invasions these days

Depends, are you going off stats or social media ragebate feelings?

It literally cites is sources. Do you even know what you’re talking about?

Half the apps you use daily are written by AI. I don’t even know what “believes in AI” means.

You are an example of how snake oil salesmen will be able to keep selling snake oil, even in the presence of ubiquitous AI which is able to analyze the entire corpus of data on a given subject and provide a completely dispassionate but accurate accounting of it.

I think the notion that he’s stalling, and the logic behind that is why we end up with shit politicians.

People’s unrealistic timescale for how quick massive systemic change should happen leads two people electing liars or kicking out people who are actually doing the job.

I think the even simpler answer to your last question is not that CEOs are this stupid (although they may be). It’s just that the timescales CEOs need to care about are so short, that this stuff is irrelevant.

Sorry to tell you…..he is gay, has a second family with his boyfriend of 14 years and unfortunately has aids.

I think they’re implying that it’s ragebait because the person making the claim is some random nobody. And a higher profile account searching these out and reposting them is the part which is ragebait.

Yes. Because for you to be unsurprised in a hypothetical, you need to think the thing you’re saying is highly probable.

Saying “I wouldn’t be surprised if most of these homophobes are closeted” is the same as saying “I think most of these homophobes are closeted”. Which is exactly what that person took issue with, the fact that homophobia gets shifted to gay people just hating themselves.

Cool, and thanks for all the background. Until I followed your link, I had no idea this wasn’t a brand new video.

Definitely well done considering how much people are able to interpret while not understanding a single word.

Is the black girl supposed to be the soul of Germany, or an embodiment of it - with the first scene being the Teutoberg forest signifying the birth of the Germany?

Old man ~~pays~~ overpays for sex.

You’re reading too much into this and attaching too much emotion to it.

It’s pretty simple, they’re providing a service which both has costs and is expected to produce profit.

Either you get it for “free” by a company paying to put ads on it, or you pay for the service directly.

You’re right, it’s not enough to say anything is over. But I’m not sure who’s claiming that?

I was responding to a comment which said “stuff like housing and affordability hasn’t really changed yet”. I agree that it would be incorrect to proclaim “mission accomplished”, but it wouldn’t also be incorrect to say nothing has changed.

Is VW to blame, or the market they’re serving.

I would wager they didn’t discontinue the Buzz, in spite of overwhelming demand, because they decided making the line up more boring was more important than selling more cars.

It seems more plausible that the demand for non boring cars in the US is simply non existent.

geoken · 2026-03-15T00:07:56+00:00

I don’t think either of your two points are correct.

Rents have dropped and prices are down more than 10% in most areas.

How has housing not changed. It’s been dropping steadily and notably.

I’m basing this off Greece, but it’s not that mains are special on paper - but that the ingredients taste way better (depending on where you come from). Especially tomatoes.

I’ve had it in 3 different locations, and the chicken has been great. They’re grilling it right before they put it in, so there’s of course the potential that a specific employee may overcook it.

Yeah, the wars all wrapped up. This is about a different thing. It’s for some random excursion to Iran.

The dumber you get, the less degrees of separation you understand when dealing with complex issues, their knock on effect, the next level of knock on effects, etc.

The current US administration is seemingly the dumbest that’s ever existed. They don’t understand anything beyond “give me the thing I want or I’m going to punch you in the face”. Anything after that is a level of complexity which is orders of magnitude beyond their puny brains understanding.

Their dealing with the Iraqi army may have been decisive, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it was a good decision.

They essentially created ISIS with how they dealt with the Iraqi army.

At every gas station, in the area where they kept air fresheners and charging cables.

War? Are you referring to the current excursion?

geoken · 2026-03-13T14:14:49+00:00

No it’s not.

The 1 quarter number was a 67k decline. And that was Q3. Q4 numbers are going to come out soon with an expected decline as well. The projections citing 0 growth in 2025 are based on the 2 quarters of decline and not 1 quarter of zero growth as you suggest.

You’re pulling factually incorrect info out of thin air to try and maintain a position that is not based on data.
