  • Yooooooo, Team Flammy representing!!

    Keep up the good work, Flammy can take this whole tourney, I believe it.

  • YES! I am here for all the Flammie propaganda. Go vote! Team Flammie!

  • It happened twice and afterwards we debriefed so I could learn and understand the lesson (I'm paraphrasing you)

    Yeah, that is not what we're talking about here.

    We're talking about people who routinely, on a daily basis hit their children. Not hard enough to bruise, not full on beatings, but people who as part of normal daily life do things like smack their child's face or butt, grab them by the hands and lift them off the floor, push them down into seated position.

    There are a LOT of people who really and honestly believe that physically bullying a toddler is a valid form of parental discipline, and would never believe that they were being abusive because they don't full on beat their children with a belt.

    That's the behavior we're talking about here.

  • My friend, ongoing ignorance IS malice. I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you, but your family are just plain old racist.

    (I say that as a person from a family full of very friendly, very racist people.)

  • Glad I'm not the only one who has witnessed this insane behavior. I made the mistake of leaving a grocery bag with bread on the floor once and only once. My youngest cat went ape shit and I came back into the room to a bread massacre right through the plastic bag.

    I have zero idea what drives this

  • their staff faced extreme pressure to provide an immediate response. As such, their staff are instructed to process records requests in-store. CVS Health and Kroger apparently both argued that their staff are trained to respond to these requests and have access legal departments if they have questions.

    The real story here. What kind of company leaves its front line retail staff (who they are deliberately understaffing) to be the ones having to deal with aggressive police officers (in front of all the rest of their very busy customers, no doubt)

    Yeah, great corporate policy to force a bunch of criminally understaffed front line employees to try to add dealing with aggressive police officers to their daily tasks.

  • Medical science is clear on when a fetus is viable and when higher brain function occurs. You speak as if you believe the myth that "life" begins at conception, which is not congruent with medical science. Elective abortions should be safe, legal, and RARE.

    Did you know that the rates of abortion are increasing now that these bans have gone into affect? Bans do not work. Sex education, birth control, these are the things proven time and again to reduce abortion rates.

  • This is the exact problem with these bans. The medical procedure in question (dilation and curretage) can be and is used in cases with a fetus in any condition. The same procedure can be used for an elective abortion, a medically necessary abortion, or even to complete a miscarriage that is already underway.

    The "abortion" procedure would have saved Savita Halapanavar's life. I personally know three women who were in similar circumstances, losing a lot of blood during miscarriages that weren't completing on their own.

    You can't ban medical procedures that have valid use cases. These things are most properly regulated by medical professionals themselves.

  • I think they won't adjust and they'll die is far more likely.

  • Exactly. This is why I love the phrase "All y'all are welcome, but you gotta act right."

  • Me, forever and a day pointing out that we don't even use cardiac activity as a metric for life in a grown ass adult human being. People are declared dead without higher brain function who have beating hearts.

    Six weeks isn't even a heart, it's just some electrical activity in newly differentiating cells. Six weeks was always about lies, because of course it was.

  • We're talking about people who are used to spending all of their time on luxury super yachts and hotels with full staff who have never had to go without for even an hour.

    I'm not buying that they're going to fare well in a genuine apocalypse.

  • A year isn't much in a collapsed economy. Three years, five years isn't much. That's my point.

    And you think these billionaire assholes are going to have the self-discipline to eat nothing but rations for the rest of their lives? Of course not.

  • How much food do you really think anyone could fit in a bunker? I mean, seriously. Think about that. They're still planning on being able to resupply, I guarantee it

  • That's the worst part. They're definitely the ones least equipped to deal with an end of the world scenario. Their preferred "problem solving" technique of just throwing money around doesn't work when supply chains, societies, and currencies are not functioning.

  • Ah yes, that notorious occupation where Denmark systematically raped and murdered all those Norwegians, installed a corporate kleptocracy to ransack their natural resources for the profit of people half a globe away, and then spent the next 400 years funding coups and dictators to maintain that corporate control.

    I don't understand the level of ignorance required to even begin to pretend like these were equivalent situations.

  • You can't ask them that. The idiots already believe that there are more gay people and gay teenagers in the world today because gay people convert people who would otherwise be straight. As opposed to just, you know, no longer having to hide their identities for fear of being murdered.

    That's why they screech about the "gay agenda"
