It’s neither lol, it’s the people themselves.

Blame choosing to drink alcohol or fly a low cost carrier, but like…really it’s you. Sorry.

Can we…stop yelling?

They didn’t do a proper legalization like Canada though. Just half-assed it.

Oh well that’s reasonable then /s

Completely agree and I was referring only to this specific instance.

I agree with all points, but isn’t the officer who stopped it from continuing the ‘good guy with a gun’ here?

It’s almost like it’s possible to have good guys with guns without letting every single person get guns by default.

What makes you think it was flagged for a large tip specifically, rather than just an unusually high transaction?

It still confused me how they would know it was a $20 steak and $80 tip versus 5x $20 steaks and no tip. It would appear the same, a $100 transaction at Bob’s Steakhouse.

Wouldn’t they just see the total?

Eventually people will say that about the current options lol.

There should be no default percent options at all. None.

‘complete transaction’ or ‘add optional tip’.

Doesn’t work so well on the colourblind though.

But why can’t they make something that smells delicious though like an Indian curry or fried Swiss cheese and eat that instead of nasty-ass fish?

Harm…to the environment, yes.

I smoked weed in Thailand as a 15 year old in like 2006 lol. It’s always been there and always will be.

I’ve also smoked hash in Saudi Arabia. I have yet to find a single country in which I could not find cannabis in if around for more than a week or two. Literally no one has ever won the war on drugs or even come close.

And I’d be fine with the neighbors cooking up a smelly fish meal if they could just make that food odorless.

But obviously they can’t and that makes no sense, so instead I am a normal human being and just deal with a smell that is not to my preference since it’s completely subjective and can’t hurt me.

I hope when I’m old they just decide to let my generation suffer to correct this fundamentally flawed system that will inevitably collapse at some point. It’s based upon the impossible notion of infinite growth.

I totally agree with you about immigration, but I tend to look at the population issue from a world wide perspective. And from that perspective the population goes up every single year without fail, which to me is a major problem that I hope our species will find a way to overcome.

Wrong? I see people deciding not to have kids as fundamentally a good thing. Coercion into having kids due to government pressure or social norms seems a whole lot more wrong to me. It’s ok to not want kids, it’s not some sort of disorder that needs fixing.

I would absolutely love to see the population go down, even for like a single day, within my lifetime. But considering we’ve added over 2 billion people to the population since I was a kid…I don’t have high hopes.

Thank you. I figured whoever posted it just decided to call it that, but nope… Unfortunately it’s also right there in the article. I don’t understand why they’d use it when so many other established terms are way more suitable, for example Carpet Bombing.

What Israel is doing is fucked up, but it’s not scorched earth.

Thought this was going to be onion for a sec until the second paragraph. My initial thought was yes, I too am celebrating Christmas for the first time this year on Christmas…

I feel you underestimate Saudi Arabia’s ability to be totalitarian. And while the population might disagree with leadership on this issue, it doesn’t mean they disagree on all issues and are about to start a revolution about this one issue.

But, more importantly, Saudi Arabia is the USAs most significant ally in the middle east. Losing access to American made weapons is more worrying to the Saudi Arabian Royal Family than losing the popular support of the domestic population. Because with American weaponry one can easily coerce the domestic population.

I feel those intentions to normalize relations are still there behind closed doors and will play out in the long run.

So then it isn’t vastly different. Yes?
