Gross to me that multiple comments here are ignoring this reality. Crimes committed by men against women in situations like that are so common that women aren’t protecting themselves unless they consider every unfamiliar man a potential threat.

Obviously women can also commit crimes against men, but its so much less common that I don’t have to take precautions to protect myself against them.

As a man it kind of sucks when you are assumed to be dangerous even when you aren’t, but you need to get over it. Its not worth it for women to compromise their safety, and assume you to not be a threat just to make you feel better.

You mean women are also capable of committing crimes? I’m gonna need some more sources for an outlandish take like that.

Taiwan is only strategically important to the us because it manufactures those chips. Trump’s goal is to increase production in the us, so we aren’t forced to intervene when mainland China comes for them.

I’ve seen boomers complain about a lot of things, but young people’s propensity for addiction is not one of them.

I wish it was considered normal for games like this to die out. Trying to maintain your audience with new content every few months is unsustainable. Ideally these games would release with the content the designers intended, no more and no less, and they would slowly lose their less dedicated players.

That way the more dedicated players aren’t frustrated by having to keep up with a rapidly changing game, and can just get better in peace. I would guess this wouldn’t be profitable for a free to play game with micro-transactions. But, I have a crazy idea. Just charge for the game up front.

No, because Facebook is not explicitly designed for the sole purpose of illegal transactions. Very clear difference.

I think its slightly dishonest to frame this as him simply “creating a website”. He created a marketplace to sell drugs on, I just don’t understand the sympathy. I feel bad for low level drug dealers in jail, this guy not so much.

I would agree it could’ve been handled differently, same with every other aspect of the war on drugs. But celebrating this guy is a step too far for me.

Fuck criticism, this man needs to be shot.

Why are people in support of this guy?

Guys this is a Buddhist symbol. I’m simply supporting America’s religious diversity, you bigots.

You don’t have to have a debate, but using that image as a reaction makes you look like a child. Just respond thoughtfully, or don’t respond at all.

Really bro? That’s what we’re doing now?

That is true, but hamas has a far better reason to be an asshole. If I were in their situation, I wouldn’t be the most agreeable person either. My hope is that if their impending doom is eliminated, their more problematic behavior would go with it.

Banjo slander should not be tolerated

Then they are definitely breaking the law, so they can legally do more to stop it.

I still don’t see how any of this takes away from my point. Are you just saying that other countries have a vested interest in the continued existence of Ukraine as we know it? Because I know that, that’s why they started funding the war in the first place.

Let’s say that when Trump takes office he negotiates new terms with Putin. Zelensky will agree to those terms because he knows things will only be worse for his country if he continues fighting without US support.

Are you just trying to say that the us or other countries would never threaten to pull support because it would be foolish? If so, then you don’t know how common fools are. What is it you think Trump means when he says he will end the war immediately after taking power?

I don’t see how any of this takes away from what I said. Ukraine can’t continue the war themselves, so they have no choice but to do what their benefactors wish.

In principle I agree, but he doesn’t really have a choice. Other world leaders are providing the funds to continue the war in the first place. If Zelensky does something they don’t like, they can just stop the funding and end the war on Russian terms.

That’s very strange. In the schools I’ve been to it was just the pledge, and you don’t have to stand. They aren’t legally allowed to force you to stand or say it, but some schools do anyway.

He is a hired attorney.
