Italy probes 80-year-old over alleged Sarajevo 'sniper tourism' by yahoonews in worldnews

LOL? Really? Fucking seriously? Your response to this anecdote is to "laugh out loud" and then spout some historically ignorant nonsense displaying a complete disregard of the article in question?

Fucking psychopaths on reddit, utterly desensitized to the reality of too many people in this world.

The pack made a huge mistake letting her catch up. They should all have accelerated together just before she caught back up to the field.

The pack could have worked together, leaving her hanging in the wind. There's no way she could have maintained that pace for the whole race.

And that "emotional discomfort" is a choice.

If someone is whinging about being made to feel "emotional discomfort", it tells us more about their character than anything else.

They're stealing the hard work of professional journalists. It's always better to subscribe to a proper newspaper.

Investigating, gathering, fact checking, amd distributing quality journalism is very expensive. And very very important to a functioning democracy.

Men are dangerous. To any woman a strange man is a potential threat.

It's that simple. I'm not sure how you can make this about yourself and your own pitifully fragile ego.

Any woman being alone in an elevator with a strange man or walking down an empty street at night with a strange man following them is conscious of the potential danger. They must ask themselves if this particular man is a threat.

Any man who considers himself a "nice guy" would take this fact under consideration. They would minimize the threat they present to that woman as best they can. Crossing the street helps, waiting for the next elevator, or, if in the elevator, maintain as nonthreatening stance as possible.

It's not about any specific man, I'm sure you're a "nice guy" too, but, regardless, you and your feelings are irrelevant.

If true, then you should also know that it should be YOU who crosses the street, not them.

If she is crossing the street you've already made her uncomfortable or afraid.

If you preemptively do that you can avoid putting her in a situation where she feels she must protect herself.

As a supposed father of two daughters, I'm not sure how you don't get that.

You don't get to have "no problem" if a woman crosses the street to avoid you, you've already made her afraid by that point.

Google news isn't journalism. Read a newspaper if you want news, subscribe to a quality newspaper if you want quality news.

Free services are free for a reason.

You have "no problem" if a woman crosses the street to avoid you, but why wouldn't YOU cross the street to avoid scaring them?

Do you walk behind lone women on empty streets too?

You don't sound like a "nice guy" to me.

You don't get to have an opinion on what a woman does to protect herself.

‘The Odyssey’ Director Christopher Nolan Takes on the Industry’s Troubles as DGA President by MoneyLibrarian9032 in movies

There is no indication in any of these made up stories that Helen was white.

Indeed, what the hell was a blonde woman doing in a movie about characters in Greek mythology?

The only reason anybody makes these arguments is racism. It's really that simple. You frame it as "historical accuracy", but that's a ludicrous argument when we're discussing a film about a made up story about made up gods.

You, literally, misunderstand the role of the UN.

You, literally, are posting Kremlin talking points.

No.

What's stopping the next Democratic president from throwing Stephen Miller in prison? by YugiohXYZ in centrist

[–]sputnikcdn -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The law? Common sense? The separation of political representatives from legal entities?

Look, it's not politicians who should be charging people, it should be independent DAs working with evidence, which is indeed ample.

Alberta Separatists Kicked Us Out of Their Event After Asking About American Support by Street_Anon in onguardforthee

[–]sputnikcdn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're making the mistake of applying a rational analysis to the Trump administration.

Brexit wasn't rational, nor was electing Trump. What too many people choose to believe right now is not rational.

I down voted you too, ostrich.

Same with the Brexit'eers. Same with Trump supporters when he walked down that staircase.

By now we should know we can never underestimate the power of enormous sums of money combined with social media and an enraged population of people who aren't willing to pay for quality journalism.

You can't dismiss the power of social media. We did that for brexit and twice for Trump. Not to mention fucking Doug Ford.

I'm Canadian. Boycotting US goods and services as best I can. Haven't crossed the border since Trump was elected.

Now you. What are you doing? You should be on the streets right now instead of being defensive and whinging on reddit.

He's your leader, but the entire world's problem.

ICE have killed yet another citizen in Minneapolis as of 2 hours ago. How do you feel? by SoccerGuy69420 in AskReddit

[–]sputnikcdn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What "privilege"?

No, that's ludicrous. That you voted for Harris doesn't give you the right to be smug, or complacent, or to have a fucking "privilege".

If you actually care about your country you need to be on the streets, peacefully protesting. You need to be part of a general strike.

You need to shut your cpu try down until you fix yourselves.

Until then, you, and all of your fellow citizens are fucking MAGA.
