You gotta pace yourself, spread that evening beer out evenly across a year of evenings

Damn, yeah hard to give any benefit of the doubt when it’s so opaque like you say. Very concerning

Not arguing, just want to be able to quote this confidently - can you link a source for this?

I can find some info about Australian-made aviation parts going to other countries as per existing agreements, who use them in aircraft that are then supplied to Israel. Which is absolutely still shit, but I can’t find anything about direct weapon sales to / from Israel

It gets worse the more I read the article… This guy spent a few weeks in blackface, thinks that he ‘became a black man’. Then goes on to conclude that while it might be harder to thumb a ride as a person of colour, systemic racism is completely over?? We did it folks!

If every sneeze was a brain damage dice roll, I bet we’d see this kind of post about sneezing indeed

The universe is, and we are.

Which would only make sense if every human body processed every molecule ingested in the exact same way

I haven’t heard this, how did the pandemic inform one way or another on flat earthers?

Not on hand, I’d just be googling for it at the moment. I did recently save a super informative comment about the history of the training schools of thought, I know it’s not an actual source but it should provide enough to search for if you want to go deeper.

Not gonna call you a dumbass when you’re open about this being anecdotal only, but yes, all of the ‘assert dominance’ stuff has been pretty thoroughly debunked. At best you’ll get a dog who fears you just the ‘right’ amount to behave how you want them to when you are there, but they don’t have any actual skills and the behaviour does not transfer well to other people and situations. And if their new anxiety does overcome their fear, the resulting behaviours will be much worse than what you started with.

While it’s cool to show concern for someone who might need to hear some words of encouragement for getting help (well, minus the scare tactics of a dead relative story), you seem to have conflated this poster’s description of the ‘pattern’ a night out drinking can take with a ‘pattern’ of problem drinking every day, or far too often at least.

What they described is perfectly familiar to me, someone who drank to a level of bad hangover on occasion when I was young and having dumb fun with friends. As I got older, that type of fun got less important and the amount I drink came down to a drink or two, rarely, when I can afford a nice whisky or something.

Basically, someone recognising how a night of social drinking can turn into a hangover isn’t necessarily the cry for help you seem to have read it as

YES It was a Dodge Viper game, as in that was the only car available I think. And there was a button to either crush the car more or maybe launch it into the air? I’m pretty sure that’s how I managed to crumple it into a ball with wheels just like you. 15 to 20 years ago sounds right

Hey, just letting you know, I think you’ve maybe mixed up two conversations? That’s the only way I can see this making any sense, so you might want to re-read the conversation and make some edits that don’t accuse people of supporting child prostitution when that hasn’t been brought up at all.

Dammit, I was feeling proud that my first thought on how this could work lined up with the explanation… But I had assumed L2 (didn’t stop to think about the label) was where I now see L1 to be. I can wrap my head around L1 just fine, but how the heck is L2 the same? Or the others for that matter? Gonna stare at this for a while…

Like what?

Pro Palestine people want Palestinian people to be freed from oppression. It doesn’t matter that the people currently oppressing them (most directly anyway) are Jews, it just matters that they are the oppressors.

The far-right (the ones being discussed here anyway that are going to these events and spewing antisemitic crap) hate Jews because they’re Jews. On a different day I’m sure they’d be saying horrible shit about Arabs too.

So, they might have “I don’t like Netanyahu” in common, but that doesn’t really warrant a loaded statement like “It’s almost like the far right and the pro palestine people share certain things in common” now does it

So if that’s proven to be true, go after the war criminals. Just not by doing, you know, more war crimes

I feel like almost every single one of those people (the ‘loud contingent’ you mention) were already antisemitic assholes, and this is just an excuse to be louder about it. Besides hitching themselves to the ‘free Palestine’ voices, they have nothing else in common with the true supporters of Palestinian human rights and can fuck right off

I was watching Generation Kill, absolutely immersed because it’s amazing, then all of a sudden I’m hearing the baby cry from an interlude track on Ænima by Tool. I’ve listened to that album countless times so that was very very weird and distracting

Right, but with different sorting, people don’t experience the same flow as you and might not see that first. So in this particular conversation thread, you’ve obfuscated a key part of the information and just ‘asked a question’ that is phrased in a way to spread misinformation

This is such a beautiful example of cherry picking the bits you like. The answer to your question is literally the sentence right above the one you have surgically quoted:

"Although the councilwoman has a concealed carry permit, she violated the recently passed city law that prohibits civilians from bringing firearms to protests, the police said.

“At no point in time was anyone menaced or injured as a result of her possessing the firearm at the earlier protest,” the NYPD said in a statement."
