Dad seems like a real G. Stood up for his daughter, and showed empathy and understanding towards the kid instead of a lust for vengeance

Isn’t it the other way around. Perfect being the enemy of good?

They refuse to fund disasters and social programmes in “blue” states while demanding it in theirs. Gloat about “voting to repeal Obama care” while taking credit for ACA (the same thing) in their home state (cause people like it)

It feels like there’s basically no point in trying to make a deal with them

I know right? Get that shit out of my Fpace

If you know cricket, and the Pakistani cricket team… This meme is very on point.

Perhaps one of sports most “potential that was never achieved” teams.

At times they have some of the best players, and on paper team, in the world… And then they’ll just play like muppets at important events and you get this meme.

They need them for a lot of reasons.

Except for stopping tyranny or having a justified revolution

Took me easy too long to realise that wasn’t an actual photo of the current state of the white house…

From Zombieland/2?

Because things haven’t progressed linearly with the universes evolution, and, as the op stipulates, we are part of one second vs countless billions of years (relatively) till it’s theoretical demise, it is possible/probable that we don’t know what will happen down the line.

Certain things might change to make it possible that we simply can’t predict due to lack of information (the future) and technological difficulties.

The reason you cannot ban weapons is because anything could be a weapon. A rock, pencil, barb wire, glass, car, etc.

I know what you mean, but there’s always nuance, a limit, when it comes to things like this. Just because you can use anything as a weapon, doesn’t mean everyone should have access to everything. Rocket launchers? Bio weapons? Nukes?

Banning weapons wouldn’t make crime vanish. Also the whole point of crime is that you break the rules to do it. Your strict rules would just be broken by certain people hence creating the “crime”.

Similarly, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. If there’s no need to ban things because criminals will do it anyway, why have laws at all? Murder, rape, assault etc.

Ultimately, societally, we attempt to come to a collective idea of what we think is “right”, and then attempt to enforce that.

Initially most are very straight forward, like “don’t kill people”… But then the deeper you drill into it, the more complicated it gets. What if you accidentally kill someone? You give them something they’re allergic to without knowing it? Should you get life in prison?

It looks like the one from travellers. I remember trying to find it after seeing that

I mean, that title sounds like it’s in the same ball park as WAP. As long as they’re not getting exploited, more power to em.

The “won’t somebody please think of the children” crowd that justify horrific treatment and murder of lgbtq people because, somehow, them just existing is a threat to his, are AOK with letting actual child rapists off with a sight tap on the wrist… Or nothing, as long as they are on the same team

This art style uncomfortably reminds me of that nazi who’s named after hard gray things

I thought that, in the old theory, the vacuum was also created on the big firecracker?

Mistakes as well as “mistakes”.

Also, she’s one of the few in that crowd to stick to her guns and it and not flip to the party narrative.

Even if she’s generally a terrible person, is doing it for shitty reasons, or hasn’t done it in the past. It’s actually a good thing that it’s happening at right now and should be encouraged.

Yes it is flawed, but it was basically “give the 5 largest powers veto power, or they don’t participate”. If they don’t participate, it would be even more ornamental than it currently is.

Ideally they would have more power to stop shit like this, but the UN as it stands is better than nothing. They do bring countries together to talk things through that otherwise might not have and have successfully de-escilated issues in the past.

I’m not saying people shouldn’t expect, or push for, better, and I’m not saying this is your view point, but I do see the sentiment that they’re useless/do nothing quite often.

Walking out won’t ultimately achieve much… But it’s at least better than sitting their and letting him feel validated in his psychopathic plans.

I was going to say, when it comes to Ukraine, this orange fuck flip flops more than the footwear with the same name

Actually it has some factual basis. He’s wealthy, it would be bad for him, he thinks he’s the economy. He just has a big, selfish, ego.

Probably depends on the type of company you work in. If it’s a long established one with lots of staff, they’ve probably realised this issue a long time ago and put plans in for it.

If it’s a more modern one that hired a bunch of solid old heads early on, they probably know better from the outset.

In both cases, someone, somewhere will have probably experienced it and said “never again”, so implemented (or improved) release procedures to ensure it doesn’t happen again

A lot of my teams have been on the younger side and for small companies/startups. So everyone either had a recent example to pull from or had first have experience
