Forgot the bite force of Russian trolls and Chinese paid actors on any topic remotely concerning Ukraine or Chinese politics, and how the west is actually the bad guys.

Unlimited bite force.

You really took the downvotes with grace.

My so called broccoli-potato-gratin with pork neck includes quite an amount of cream, salt, bouillion cubes and cheese. My wife doesn’t know and it will stay that way.

13% of Democrats agree with Trump on that. What the actual fuck?

No surprise? People have nuanced views, different opinions, from left to center to right, even hardcore racist ones… and vote Democrats. Just as you could find conservatives who do not agree with the statement.

The statement is so vague and loaded and can be agreed or disagreed with from all kinds of people.

Edit: And yes it’s quite ironic(?) that so many people agree with this - in a country where people unironically track that they’re 12% German, or 20% Irish, or whatever.

You are correct. The ICC warrant for Netanyahu needs yet to be approved by an ICC judge. For now it’s only a warrant request.

The same people who warned us about the dangers of the internet and not to believe everything, are now the ones readily falling for and spreading conspiracies and lies from social media.

It’s tragic.

Totally the same /s

Ukraine:

Russia: invades Ukraine, committing war crimes on a daily basis.

I don’t think you’re eligible to judge anyone’s cognitive abilities.

I never found anything which scratches the same itch Claymore does.

In my experience: the higher up the management chain, the higher the chance that they are just in for the bonuses - not for the company / industry. And those bonuses are always bound to these numbers which need to go up. When the numbers go down, these people are long gone.

The first people to leave aren’t going to be the clock punchers, it will be the best and brightest who can easily find other jobs.

Yes. But some of them are also the most expensive ones, so when they leave costs go down. And we all know “numbers must go up” (=cost must go down).

There is also no requirement to be a “good guy” to attend the conference.

Correct. But it’s kind of the inevitable outcome that only “good guys” attend. Why would any bad actor go there and risk being exposed / caught…

Cosmic Encounter

No two games are ever the same. So are the attempts to lure people in and out of encounters, and the following betrayels. Great fun.

You are correct. It was a monoculture forest and designed to be cut down sooner or later anyway.

Unfortunately the actual enjoyability of a job more often than not correlates with unfair or outright low pay :(

On a scale between 0 and 1 (float) how sure are you exactly?

It does. I don’t want them to be guillotined either. I want to take their money, not their lives.

Its called empathy. Try it.

I saw this argument / line of thought in a couple of similar topics already, and I gotta say this really only works if your oblivious enough to believe all/most asylum seekers want to stay in Greece.

But sure, it’s a nice catchphrase.
