There’s several of us in Ohio, what if we toss Mike dewine and his ilk to Kentucky?

must’ve read David vs. Goliath and sided with the Goliath.

Bold of you to assume that they can read, or that they have read the Bible.

In my experience not even “devout Christians” do that last one.

A person can dream.

Make every company that has a whistleblower die in ANY way face extremely heavy penalties including, but not limited to: 75% taxing on all income for a period of time as part of a fine, jail time for executives, board members, and potentially large shareholders, potential nationalization of the company, etc

Make every company afraid to have a whistleblower die. Make them want to hire private security and pay for all health expenses to ensure the person lives because the alternative is the company ceases to exist in any way that benefits those in charge.

As always, some people see Jurassic Park as inspiration and wonder why nobody gave Hammond a chance.

The rest of us know that Dr. Malcolm was right from the start.

Yeah, I don’t think anyone would ask you “Are you okay with sitting at the bar with nazis?” yet plenty will happily judge you for saying “I’d rather not have to deal with MAGAts and their opinions”

Sorry but if your opinion is “trans people aren’t people” or “blacks need to know their place” then your opinion is shit and no the fuck I don’t have to listen to it

Commenters are the worst.

Especially the ones that have custom profiles with names and shit.

Like Bro you aren’t fooling anyone, we all know you aren’t really a squid that flies.

I mean, starting in January, the US is an unreliable partner to everyone…

It’s insane to me that entire fucking countries governments act no different than literal children.

This is stereotypical school yard bully tactics. It’s so fucking stupid. People point to specific sad stories as reasons they lost faith in humanity… I point to every country on the planet acting like children any time they have a slight disagreement, or decide they want something someone else has.

K was right. A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals.

Did you just link tvtropes with no warning?

I just looked over to the side because of this post, and realized I have a peanut butter cup still waiting to be eaten, so thanks!

Russia has thousands of nukes in its arsenal, and this is one person in one base.

Even the US doesn’t have all its nukes well maintained, which is why they’ve been overhauling them for years.

Personally I never subscribed to the “Russia has 0 nukes ready to go” theory because that’s just downright idiotic. Bare minimum you keep one well maintained so at the very least you can target whoever targeted you and try to hit their capital with a MIRV.

Since no country really has a problem with taking what it wants from the people, it stands to reason that Russia would just squeeze its population a little tighter to keep as many nukes operational as possible.

However, with that said I also don’t doubt a large percentage of it’s nuclear arsenal is basically useless.

And anyone who knows anything about nukes can tell you it doesn’t matter if they have 10 or 1000, they could still kick off the nuclear apocalypse

When my neighbor still drives the truck for the company that shot my son for taking an illegal sip of rain water, my neighbor is the enemy and will be judged for his complicity.

I’m sorry, do you think Europe will be unaffected by global climate change?

(the point you were making)
















Their head

One of two things is going to happen when companies decide they own (all) the fresh water (and people become desperate)

Either the company hires enough goons and/or thugs to keep their “investment” safe through lethal force and scare the plebs away, possibly employing bribing “lobbying” governments to do it for them

OR

The people who are right there next to water sources they are being told to pay more than they can afford to drink from will arm themselves and overwhelm the defending forces with sheer numbers, resulting in an internationally covered bloodbath, kickstarting Water War 1 as other companies rush to beat back any perceived defiance, nations attempt to secure access to fresh water whether it’s on their land or not, and normal people prepare for the worst.

It’s the eternal pointless chase for a meaning that was never there and never will.

So… Life.

Having done exactly 0 research, I going to assume it’s one of those “DO NOT PRESS OKAY UNLESS YOU ARE EXPERIENCED AND KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING” and someone went “pffft I know what I’m doing. click now what does this option do…”

My life has been directly, negatively impacted by Christian extremism far more than Islamic extremism.

So far I have yet to enter a clinic that has been damaged by a Muslim’s molotov because someone is doing a thing that they think their special book says not to do.

All religion is incompatible with civilized society as long as there are those who would twist it into a cudgel to beat down the nonbelievers.

If you think that Islam is somehow worse than others, not only are you misinformed of current issues the world over, you are also misinformed about history in general.

Holy shit that description reads like the journalist who “got ptsd” from shooting a rifle…

It creates a shockwave, and since the big boom is a big fireball, it uses up all the oxygen.

In other words, “This bomb explodes, big BIGGER”

I’m being hyperbolic for comedic effect, but I found it funny how they worded it.
