So what you're saying is that Russia has no agency, and their invasion of Ukraine is NOT it imperial in nature.
In fact, they're only seizing Ukrainian territory to add to their own, because of the United States. And that somehow negates any aspect of Russian imperialism.
Well that makes sense, because I know one thing about Russia, and that it's definitely not a stitched together country of conquered and subjugated people's.
Or, hear me out, maybe it's possible for both the United States and Russia, to wage imperial wars of aggression. Just because the United States is an imperial power, that doesn't preclude any other great powers from acting on their own delusions of empire.
No lawyer would take the case. Hell, a lawyer might even get sanctioned for even attempting to file it.
This isn't like an uphill legal battle where there's a process that can draw attention. It's a non-starter.
Pretend you file a lawsuit by filling out a form online, but whenever you try and submit this lawsuit, it goes to 404 not found. You're suggesting they spend thousands of dollars, for a 404 error.
However, suing the hospital, is a very long and drawn out legal process.... So if your goal is to bring attention to the issue, well there you have it.
You are aware that legislatures cannot be held directly criminally responsible for the laws they pass, right?
I'm not disputing that their actions killed their daughter, I'm trying to explain to you that they cannot be held legally responsible in the manor you're suggesting.
Are you saying that instead of suing the hospital, she should start up a PAC to go after hundreds of Texas state politicians...?
Because if you meant sue them for wrongful death, they are exempt. So even if they are more directly culpable in their daughter's death, she cannot bring direct legal action against them for that.
Reminder that Newsweek is a hollowed out rag. They are at the end stage of the private equity news buyout process.
When everything of value has been squeezed and extracted, the only thing left is the brand name, which is then sold because it's the last thing of value, simply because it retains semblance of namere cognition for what it used to be.
They just published a story last week saying that Green Party candidates actually pull votes from Republican candidates. I wish I was joking.
Point is, this story could be true and I would have no problem believing it...if it was published by a credible outlet. In fact, if it is accurate, I expect to see more reputable outlets covering it soon, which I look forward to reading.
Until then, I'll mentally file it alongside the tabloid headlines I skim when checking out at the grocery store.
On a related note, Perun's most recent video covering North Korea's role in the wider Ukraine conflict was phenomenal, per usual. Definitely worth watching, if you haven't already.
You wanted to engage on the topic of hunting. But you expected to be the only one allowed to be asking questions.
So instead of answering the one question asked of you, you generate bogus reasons to justify why you're above responding to any questions about your motivations, or knowledge/experience of the subject.
I'm not sure you even know what subsistence hunting is. Maybe you know the definition, but not the context. It seems like you assume everyone lives in an urban area, and can live a vegan lifestyle by going to the grocery store.
You mean you don't find merit in them. But I'm done, because at least I tried to answer your questions. Where you made no attempt at answering the one question I've asked you twice.
People who hunt prey for trophies, and waste the meat, are also pieces of shit. It's called wanton waste, and it's illegal.
But no one hunts predators for their meat. They hunt them for sport. They hunt them because they get a joy from killing them, and for no other reason. I'm not sure what you're not getting about this. They only keep the meat, because again, it's wanton waste and it's illegal.
Bear meat is disgusting. Predators do not taste good. They're killed so weak men can feel strong. They hunt predators because they enjoy killing for the sake of killing, and for trophies. That's it.
This is the third time I rearticulated the same point, which everyone else here seems to get.
Now that I've done that for you, can you please let me know which one of these you are:
A. Someone who hunts predators.
B. Someone who has no experience with, or knowledge of, hunting.
I think they still have legal requirements about wanton waste, or at least best effort.
The no tag limit makes sense though, as they're an incredibly invasive species and the aspirational goal is removal.
None of this should be considered legal advice, I could be mistaken on the regulations. You should check them out yourself to make sure I'm not full of shit, or confused.
They do. Texas allows ariel hunting of hogs, there's no season, and no tag limit. I know lots of other areas have similar approaches of differentiating hunting laws and seasons when it comes to invasive species.
All the hunters I've known, have been an outdoor guys and nature conservationists, but also conservative usually.
There's prey animals, like deer. Those are hunted for subsistence, to eat and use.
Predators do not taste good, they taste bad in fact. They are not hunted for subsistence to feed your family, they're hunted for sport. They are killed for fun, so assholes can stuff them and mount their heads on walls.
So yeah, there's a difference. Either you yourself, like to hunt predators for sport, or you have no experience with, or knowledge of, hunting at all. Either way, your take is awful.
If you're going to hunt a predator, and it's not for sanctioned wildlife management culls, get a Bowie knife and have at it. Otherwise, I hope you suffer a horrible death.
I'm not anti-hunting, at all. Hunting is easily the most humane way to eat meat. But hunting predators is a sport, not subsistence.
You can pretty much guarantee that anyone who hunts predators for sport, is a gigantic asshole and you should not feel bad about wishing them harm. I would take that statement even further, but I don't want the mods to remove this comment.
To be clear, no one likes bear meat, they're opportunistic scavengers. These bears were hunted for sport most likely, but the hunters were slightly better than your average bear hunting asshole, and at least didn't waste the meat. Most likely because it would be a wasted kill, and illegal.
I wouldn't have said this before I read about that ruling....but, now, all I see are 9 himbos indecently exposing their naked cue balls to anyone who walks by, including children.
Won't somebody please think of the children?
I'm thinking mandatory hats, and for men who repeatedly expose their shinny ass heads in public, they choose jail, or get hair plug surgery.
Either way they'll have to be on the sex offender registry, obviously.
Shouldn't there at least have been a summary ruling on whether or not the plaintiff was in fact, a cunt?
Because honestly, I imagine there's a lot of cunts all over that factory floor. Maybe he was the only bald one. It's a pretty important descriptor and you wouldn't want to confuse workers on the shop floor.
What if you left out "bald" and then dangerously distracted the nearby curly haired cunt, or ginger cunt?
I don't know if anything's changed in the last 10-20 years or so, but I was under the impression that Albania was country with a deeply entrenched culture of organized crime, the Albanian mafia if you will.
And isn't one of their biggest businesses, aside from drug smuggling, human trafficking?
If I recall correctly, historically, Southern Italian and Albanian societies shared many of the same social conditions that enabled the rise of Italian and Sicilian organized crime, including a long history generational blood fueds, and something similar to Omertà, the Kanun.
Both of which were social customs and informal legal structures, predicated upon the belief that there were no legitimate or trustworthy authorities that could be relied upon. Whether through corruption, dysfunction, or prejudice in Italy, or the various colonial rulers who controlled what is now modern Albania.
I think I got most of that accurate, but someone can correct me if I'm mistaken anywhere. But, it was incredibly off topic and probably irrelevant, because I'm sure none of that will have any relationship or impact on what happens to the asylum seekers and migrants that Italy is going to be sending their way.
