Oo, nice try turning this around on them. But nah, man, you’re refusing to acknowledge the ruling itself explicitly telling you you’re wrong. You’re not arguing in good faith. Go away.

I appreciate the heck out of you

Idk, my dogs always LOVED doing weird new shit like this with us. While I never took them scuba diving, they hit stratospheric levels of freakout and try to come in and rescue us the one time we left them where they could see us (on shore at a public lake) and waded into the water to dive. They probably would have been psyched to get to come with us after the first few seconds of freak-out.

But they loved trampolines, indoor skydiving, longboarding, diving (as in from a diving board), eating drywall and sneaking into our neighbors houses to try and steal their food.

RIP Pheobe and Godog, you were absolute terrors.

Do you have any non-hyperbolic examples of this kind of overreach?

“Anyone who thinks themselves a tankie is too self aware to be one” sounds like one of those fallacies you’d learn about in highschool. (What is a tankie, btw? I’ve been too scared to ask…)*

It’s not an insertable toy, it’s just a novelty vibrator.

I think this exact thing was a plot point in Buffy…

Oh fuck off, the reason is we have FPTP elections and there’s too much hanging on an election to justify fracturing the country for four years while we establish a viable 3rd party.

Yeah but like… At least he’s not a raving lunatic??? Fuck.

BUCKLE UP BUCKAROOS, WE’RE TAKING Y’ALL DOWN WITH US! ohgodImsodepressed

Cops shoot back, and they protect the other two groups. They’re cowards, but cowards will still fire blindly when they’re directly in danger.

Nah, binface seems pretty well grounded.

I don’t think we have to choose. “Maintain your websites so you don’t get taken advantage of” and “Here’s an example of a major-world-power-affiliated group exploting that thing you didn’t do” are both pretty important stories.

A lot of it comes from the complete lack of faith that the US police services can/will do anything, and how incredibly poor most of the country is. Someone stealing parts from your car, which is stupidly common here, means you can wind up homeless in a month, easily.

And there’s nothing you can really do to prevent it except beating the shit out of enough people that word gets out to not mess with your stuff (because padlocks are a joke). I don’t condone it, just a really high level summary of where it comes from.

(Also american exceptionalism and extreme self-reliance are a big factor. Fucked up cultural shit we have here…)

“Good evening, I’m tonight’s moderator, Chris Wallace. And I think I’m going to do a really, really good job tonight.”

Nono, see this was totally normal procedure. It was just a wild accident that the kid was sealed inside completely inverted. Not their fault. Clearly. For some reason. If they’d left him the right way round, he might have set off the alarm?

I thought this was a bit absurd until I looked up what a “bivy” is, as I’d been assuming it was just a tent.

Yeah, not hard to see how a kid could suffocate by getting turned around in what is basically a watertight sack with two sticks added. Wtf? who puts kids, let alone kids with anxiety, into one of those things unattended? holy shit.

If cows made tools, they’d probably suck.
