Yea, that's one reason I feel the way I do enjoy him.
If you sit down and think about it, this is the easiest way for the federal government to increase revenue without directly increasing taxes.
Except that when tariffs are this high, they discourage imports and purchasing. It's self-defeating.
That only works if the guard accepts his orders. Legally, they have no choice. But in practical terms, large groups of heavy armed men get to make their own decisions.
They did make a medical, in very limited numbers, but I'm using the TNG Science/Engineering tricorder.
If I was her, I'd publish the threat and result in the place I hosted the mod, then nuke my own mod.
But I'm a spiteful little shit.
Very nice.
I have one of the TNG versions, and I am partway through refitting it work lights and electronics. I may even finish, someday.
Put me down as a 16. Moderately disgusted, attempting to withdraw.
Without anything but the quoted line, I would say she's an American citizen, born in America, to the parents of immigrants.
In the USA, even before Trump, people were often identified by their ethnicity, or somethings just skin color, because with a few exceptions, we don't have families that have been here for hundreds and hundreds of years, like most other countries. Go to Europe, Africa, Asia, you can find people who's family has lived there since beyond the ken of mortal man.
In South America and Australia, I believe, this is less true, but more than here in the US.
In Antarctica, I'm not aware that the penguin flocks move around much.
Americans submit have no roots the way others often do. And I'm speaking as someone who can trace one side of my family back 15 generations to before the state we live in was a state.
Huh. Never realized chromebooks were priced that low.
Thanks for the correction.
when you’re exiled alone on an island…
50,000 corpses at Waterloo would debate this one with you.
Desks are cheaper, and the hole only slightly impairs functionality.
Sooner or later, one of these is gonna result in the death of one of the kidnappers. Things will unravel quickly after that.
I'd argue it's a good move, and they tried to do some cool things with it, and the visuals are delightful.
It's absolute crap Star Wars, though.
It is always easier to destroy than to build, or to protect.
Again, this is not immediate self-defence, this is something else entirely: this type of situation demands systemic change.
I'm aware it's not immediate self defence, that's kind of the point of the question. How many people die while you work on that change? Why are ok killing to defend yourself now, but not to defend a hundred people tomorrow?
You remove them from authority then send them on their merry way to live out their standards alone, far from the rest of us.
And you hope they don't come back with more people and a plan for revenge. Napoleon was sent off on his merry way. His return cost over 50,000 lives.
Friggin’ children know this already, if someone doesn’t play nice, you stop playing with them.
And what if they won't let you stop playing with then? Children know bullies, too, and know that you can't just ignore them.
Why the hell are we still debating the ““virtues”” of murder?!
Because you are unwilling to admit that some people need killing. Not very many, in my opinion. There are usually better options. But killing someone is the only way to be 100% sure that they stop hurting people.
The irony is staggering.
But yes, lol, me.
There is no acceptable context for killing someone other than immediate self-defence
But you know he's gonna kill a hundred people next week. Starve ten thousands people to death over the next six months. Start world war 3, and cause the death of millions of people. Those people people have no recourse to self defence, but you could defend them, right now.
nothing will ever make it right.
Strongly disagree. If someone had killed Musk a year ago, the world would be a different place today. A better place, I think.
If someone had killed Trump ten years ago, how many COVID deaths would be avoided? How much damage to our economy would not have happened? How many hungry people across the world would still have food from a USAID shipment?
There are plenty of times it would be right to kill people. But who can we trust to make that decision? I'm confident I'm right, but I would not want to have to do it.
I think they have to be warned that the internet is suddenly recommending their kids do stupid things, and that, because of the way social media has become a ducking nightmare, their kids are more likely to do it then the parents might think.
