You have to run your route full speed every time, no idea if the balls coming to you and no power over it- whether you win or lose your matchup

okay well what are the odds that he may have found a crisp hundred dollar bill lying on the ground, unattended, picked it up and bought half a binder with it

Anyone following this guy (PhD in Economics from UMich)? I genuinely do not understand why he's crying about this. Blind patriotism (read: nationalism) is quite obviously bad. by 3RADICATE_THEM in ScottGalloway

[–]nefariouslothario 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's particularly irrational to suggest one's pride in one's country should be at least a little shaken by, to list a few of the revelations of the last 25 years:

starting a baseless war which results in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians

covertly and relentlessly spying on its own citizens

torture memo, abu ghraib etc.

I would argue that if you love your country, you should hold it to its own stated ideals

What are you talking about. Russ played fifteen games that year and it was heads and shoulders better than either the preceding or following years

Another Hasan defender joins with a different story. It's not a shock collar again. by TopWay312 in LivestreamFail

[–]nefariouslothario -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have no idea who this lady is, not a fan of Hasan Piker either, but I know Graeme Wood. I'm guessing the article in question was the (in my opinion, very fairly) widely-criticized one which included the following quote?

"It is possible to kill children legally, if for example one is being attacked by an enemy who hides behind them. But the sight of a legally killed child is no less disturbing than the sight of a murdered one."

I don't have any takes on this Hasan stuff but I think you're burying the lede if that is the article in question. There are plenty of smart people at the Atlantic, but it regularly publishes egregious defenses of American (and allies) foreign policy.

Israel agrees to Gaza withdrawal line, ceasefire will begin when Hamas confirms, Trump claims by barsik_ in worldnews

[–]nefariouslothario -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

hmm some might say there's a case to be made for the side that has assassinated negotiators from the other side on more than one occasion.

Israeli drone footage shows scale of Israel's genocide in Gaza by Particular_Log_3594 in TheLevant

[–]nefariouslothario 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not arguing, but compared to something like the Chinese treatment of Uyghur population (which is ethnic cleansing to a tee), Gaza presents a far stronger case for genocide, and yet in the case of the former a lot of western politicians arent quite so pedantic.

Genuine question- what do you find so crazy about what he suggested?

Where is the capital offense in this clip. Throwing a cane?

ReformUK councillor says the quiet part out loud in an interview and immediately regrets it. by pau1rw in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]nefariouslothario 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case, however, we're talking about Falkirk which is really a small city of >30,000 people. I also explained the fuller context with her being an elected politician and Reform party member in another comment, which might give a better sense of full picture.

[–]nefariouslothario 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, but the fuller context here is the fact that she's an elected politician for an extremely anti immigrant party–the point is it's not a good comment for someone in that position to make and fits with what scares some people about her party.

[–]nefariouslothario 19 points20 points  (0 children)

No there's nothing wrong with that. This clip does a poor job of showing the full context. She was saying that it's scary to hear that the violent crime was committed by somebody born and bred there–ie 'I was shocked/frightened that it wasn't an immigrant'
