I wonder what would happen if you opened fire against these attempts? If you are not identifying yourself as law enforcement, one would fear for ones life and could open fire and protect oneself?

If you define economics as have and have-not, they obviously had economics. Who are he to tell us that bartering didn't happen on any scale within a tribe of cro magnom.

I think the point being is that economics is a large scale class system with fairly complex structures. There's always been have and have-nots. Just look at a pride of lions on how they distribute the feeding based upon ranks within the pride. It's not economics, but it's s class based system with distributed means (i.e access to food).

So maybe all of nature is oppress or being oppressed in a way. We just industrialised it.

My problem (and many others I guess) is that i won't remember Pat or Kelly the next time. And the next time. And the next time etc etc. Especially if I only see her ever so often. No chance to remember special pronouns beyond what gender they present. He/she/him/her is relatively easy (but not always...) them/they or anything else they prefer seems overly complicated in a social setting.

But if I remember the name and intentionally use others to taunt you, then yes, I would be a cunt. And I try not to be one...

If they act like cunts, we should call them cunts. But I totally understand that's not possible in all situations, like when you have a person in power cunting all over you.

I understand the desire to have people use your pronouns, and as long as one can see what gender you are "presenting", one should use those pronouns.

If someone prefers other pronouns, then I'm sorry... Many people (me included) have a hard time remembering names... I wouldn't have a chance remembering a large set of different pronouns if I can't even remember the names of that person. A pronoun is a non specific way of addressing someone and a break life saver like "you"...

To to switch to an all inclusive them/they for everybody seems overreaching.

If it's not obvious what pronouns someone prefers, then they shouldn't be annoyed if someone makes repeatedly mistakes.

And this makes it hard to distinguish a mistake from an insult...

The original is iconic, and there are almost too many covers of it to take it in. But Paradise Lost takes it in a different direction.

Same as Wicked Game by HIM. https://open.spotify.com/track/5XenUjG7cRnTkUe8AVuuMX

According to Wikipedia it's an English and Norwegian name

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbonegro

https://no.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turboneger

I'm sure you can call them whichever you want

I think they anglified it to Turbonegro. It can be the official name nowv and for a while... My bad inn that case 😄

Hmmmm Not exactly what you are asking about, but i love the energy of "Kickstart my heart" by Motley Crue and "Get it on" by Turboneger.

Both starts hard sang continues in the same fashion. I want more og that energy and rhythm.

"Stand up and shout" by Dio is close, but it feels tiny bit harder/faster.

Anybody got other songs in the same vibe/ energy. Not a slow build up. Just 1-2-3-4 rock!

I'm not saying a parent knows your inner feelings, but I am saying that after watching repeat behaviour patterns you notice stuff. And with younger kids they don't really connect these dots. So yeah, to some extent we do know our kids better than they do

But this all has limits. And expiration dates.

Pantone of racism

Revisiting Supernatural, starting from S1E1. Never seen all of it, so I have a few hours ahead of me😅

I like that quote, but it fails to take into account the incentives for each group. The bears wants free and easy accessible foods, which means they will spend a great deal of effort to succeed. The humans are weighing "give a shit about environment" Vs "I don't care enough to spend two seconds here"

Place a crisp 100 dollar bill inside the trash can and you would have a dramatically different outcome...

If you think we actually invest in infrastructure, you are sorely mistaken.... I mean yes, we have a decent charging infrastructure. Driven by Tesla purchase and gas stations following through in order to retain EV customers. So some infrastructure is needed to support that.

But we don't even have good enough infrastructure to distribute an abundance of hydro electricity from North to the South, while at the same time we export electricity down to central Europe from the South, so prices fluctuates a crap ton.

Don't get me started on train lines being neglected for the past 50 years. And as most countries we are realising that all our sewage and water lines need a massive renewal....

Maybe we should use more of the oil fund for these tasks, but I believe there would be large inflations if we tossed the oil fund around to fix everything....

I used to "love" running in to McD when I was in a hurry and ask "what burgers do you have that are ready?" and just take whatever was available. More often than not, it was a cheese/double cheese.

Now I have to wait 5-10 minutes before its ready, and its more expensive.

The trade off of cheap and fast vs quality have disappeared.

Reading this thread is like a waterfall of ignorance and shitshow.

I'm no expert on animal husbandry, and in particular elephant sanctuaries, but I have recently been to one.

That being said, I'm sure there are elephant sanctuaries that treat their elephants bad, just as there are good ones. I can't say which percentage of the sanctuaries are good/bad and I doubt any of the posters here can enlighten us on that.

What I can say is that these are NOT wild elephants. I was told there are roughly 12k wild elephants in Thailand.

These elephants are bought from farmers that are unable to sustain/feed the elephant from the work they are being used. Apparently it's not uncommon to earn 500 Baht (ca 15 USD) a day as a farmer, and that is not enough to buy the 10% of body weight in food for the elephant. Elephants are often inhereted as they cost around 1 mill Baht (2,5 for baby).

So... Domesticated elephants can't survive alone in the wild as they have been bred out some of the skills to manage on their own. So a mismanaged elephant is better off being sold off to a sanctuary that can care for it until it dies. Which is the purpose of sanctuaries - put an elephant out to pasture.

The sanctuary I visited only had female elephants and was but interested in breeding elephants - because they are not in it to add more domesticated elephants, but rescue elephants that need help. I'm sure other sanctuaries manage male elephants, I can't say how they deal with mating and pregnancies in regards to rescue other elephants in need Vs "free elephant" for tourist trap.

TL;DR Post in this thread acts like domesticated elephants are a wild animal like a boar. It's more like a cow that weighs 4-6 tonnes. Death by cow occurs every year, you don't go screaming about that when it happens between your bites of hamburger. It's of course horrible for the family of the poor girl being killed. Hopefully humans and elephants will get the treatment they need and deserve.

That would be glorious! But I'm seriously scared for Ukraine and Europe while Amexit happens...!

A lot og questions can be answered diplomatically and show that you are able to handle yourself:

Q: do you like the colour red?

A1: I hate red

A2: I don't like red

A3: Not my favourite colour

A4: I prefer blue

In this entirely made up and pointless exercise you hate red and are asked if you like it. Real world applications converging on zero.

On a scale of lie to truth, where are you comfortable with representing your thoughts of red in an interview?

And remember, only Sith deals in absolutes🙃

I think it's important that not only are charges dropped, but she should get some push back or fine for wrongfully charges ( I'm assuming it is illegal to claim someone assaulted you when it's obvious they did not - and I'm not a lawyer or American, so I'm sure there's a better name for it...)
