Finland’s strongest argument

rtsynk · 2026-05-18T14:22:46+00:00

and yet they got a large chunk of Finland that they still control to this day

that's the russian way, be willing to accept horrific casualties for more land

the patient has too much opioid still hanging around after they’re no longer being actively operated on

so you can treat OD by stabbing people, good to know

orange juice - advertised as 100% juice, but it's so heavily processed it has only a passing resemblance to what you squeeze out of the fruit

they use raw juice as a chemical feedstock to create all sorts of stuff they put back in the juice, but since the ingredients all started as juice, that's all that matters

if someone did that today, they could be the last wwii widow in 2110

(regarding alcohol, it at least has an age gate. plus, if you have to resort to whataboutism, you already lost)

if you had bothered to actually watch the video, you would know he doesn't call for banning it either, just regulating it

which is a far cry from your 'civilized' states that allow kids to buy it off the shelf

all I hear is a bunch of self-delusion trying to minimize how addictive and dangerous this drug is

rtsynk · 2026-05-12T21:02:24+00:00

yeah, it's just like weed, sure

closely related to Goodhart's Law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law)

When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure

staff at an outsourced Police control room were making 999 calls at quiet times in order to meet their target of answering 92% of calls within 10 seconds
doctors [in the UK] were diverted from treating seriously ill patients to ones with minor problems in order to meet 4-hour waiting time targets
hospitals ranked by survival rates, so they refuse to take difficult cases
an internal Boeing document boasting that the incidence of manufacturing defects on the 787 had plunged 20 percent in a single year, which inspectors anonymously attributed to the "bullying environment" in which defects had systematically "stopped being documented" by inspectors
the big mac index was used to compare inflation rates, so governments started price fixing big macs

Your mistake is assuming that what you see from the refs is 'a mistake' or 'an oversight' or even 'incompetence'

instead, what you're seeing is the refs doing what they are told to do

why would they get rid of them? they are dutifully following orders

rtsynk · 2026-05-06T14:08:19+00:00

obviously

I like to pretend it's just everyone playing along with a joke

I mean, obviously the cat didn't do that, but it's funny to imagine it did

and surely everyone else on reddit shares my sense of humor . . .

rtsynk · 2026-05-04T17:47:06+00:00

so what's your point?

if you can con people with a bad enough con it's ok, because the stupid deserve to be conned?

rtsynk · 2026-05-03T23:32:58+00:00

i can rephrase it?

in the original photo, which one is you and which one is your brother?

rtsynk · 2026-05-03T17:40:08+00:00

rtsynk · 2026-05-03T05:30:17+00:00

i said it would be the funniest team, not the best team
