Jesus Food Christ

I think footage is foliage, but I’m lost on the second “for.”

This is so cool, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a painting with this kind of focus (sharpness, not subject) and it works really well for the scene!

I could see some inverse of good tsar, bad boyars, but at this point I’m not sure how many “boyars” there are left who both support trump and weren’t placed by him in spite of their shocking incompetence.

I used to work in chemical exposure insurance and to be honest, it would be very difficult to tell because of the increased risk of cancer from chemicals used in the growing process as it is. Most of the countries that have banana plantations can’t really defend their citizens against huge fruit companies, so if something has been declared illegal in Hawaii, they just use it in their other plantations, and of course the US is dismantling the EPA and NLRB, so soon they might not even be illegal there anymore. Organic fruit is not significantly different, because there are lots of things that are allowed for them that are still carcinogenic to humans in large concentrations.

I’m really sorry to be a downer, but sometimes the world sucks, and pineapple and banana companies suck even more.

Yeah, but you tell different types of stories. The robot knows it’s supposed to respond emotionally, but doesn’t know in what direction.

Well, it’s more often biased against them, and with fewer resources, they’re more affected by it.

I wouldn’t trust that poll, because even fox is reporting him as underwater

Edit: that’s actually for trump and not the admin, I could see there being some nuance there, so I might have spoken too soon

Nah, you’re just rude, aggressive, and not intending to discuss or understand , but to cudgel. My time’s worth more. Blocked :)

Yes

Unless I get to choose the person, I don’t think such a deal exists for me

Over 20? Booze. Unless they are a raging alcoholic.

Fancy olive oil, chocolate, tea, or coffee are good alternatives, depending on their tastes.

How many of the men who are murdered in Italy are killed for being men? If it’s a large proportion (for women in Italy, it’s over half), then sure, apply it to them.

Maybe bring that up with the Italian government. I’m sure they’d respond well to a letter with the same tone as your comment. I’m not continuing this conversation with you though.

Laws are different during wartime against an invading army. If it’s a random Russian who’s been living in Ukraine lawfully for the last thirty years, then yeah, it is an ethnically motivated crime and should be punished differently.

The reason that hate crimes are handled differently is because a person who commits one is more likely as a whole to commit more hate crimes than one who kills an individual for individual reasons (though sometimes it’s just a crime of opportunity, which happens to involve a targeted group, in which case it should be determined in court not to be a hate crime).

If half of the murder victims in any unchangeable demographic are killed because they are part of that demographic, why not extend hate crime coverage to them? It doesn’t preclude you from charging other women with femicide, nor does it preclude you from making men or non binary people a hate crime category if they become targeted for their gender, but extending it to gender in general if that’s not reflective of crime statistics increases the costs of investigation by a lot.

The former CIA asset who was just recently granted asylum? Yeah, it’s a false flag.

Isn’t any territorial war won by the attacked party an example? Like, the aggressors never start being successful colonizers because they don’t win, but they would have colonized the land if they’d won.

I used to work in long-tailed litigated liability insurance claims. Think asbestos, lead paint, toxic exposures, etc. Insurance comes into play for defending companies against lawsuits made by people suffering from those exposures. I rationalized it to myself for a year and a half (if we don’t pay for the company’s defense attorneys, we couldn’t pay the claimants their settlements; we’re just following the contract; at this point, the big players are bankrupt, so the claimants are just going after easy targets; etc.), but it makes the world worse and I eventually quit.

I looked at other aspects of the industry, but there really wasn’t a role that I could feel totally comfortable with. At best, I felt like I I worked for the organization which gave earth “adequate notice” for the hyperspace bypass in hitchhikers guide.

I went back to school and now I teach new immigrants the local language. It took a lot of work and I make less money, but holy shit was it worth it.

Pretty good for the US. Abhorrent for most other places. I used to live in Middletown and commute to Hartford (two cities about 20 miles away from each other-Middletown isn’t a main city, but as the name implies, it’s pretty central, whereas Hartford’s the capital) mostly with my car, sometimes with my bike, and for one week with the bus.

The trip from my house (again, in the middle of the state, between the two main cities, and even pretty close to the midpoint between NYC and Boston) to my office took about 30 minutes by car, ~90-120 by bike, and 150 by bus and train. I could have done it faster, but not without arriving after 10am, which wasn’t cool at my job.

That said, they had just finished the train when I tried and I moved away several years ago, so I can imagine it’s gotten more streamlined and/or they’ve expanded it.

I think I have pity for him being racist and not wanting to be, but I am confused. He can’t help the thoughts that go through his head, if that’s what he means, but I don’t know if he is also acting on those thoughts. If he is, then yeah, just stop, lol.
