I don’t think you addressed the point that it is the job of the police to apprehend those who break the law. It should not matter what happens after that as that is not what the tax payers are paying them to do. Is it ok that the police are not doing their job any longer? Is this behavior of theirs positively or negatively affecting crime?

Wait, are the criminals catching something in your talking point? Why would the criminals thinking that they will be released with no consequences stop the police doing what the taxpayers pay them to do?

The rest of it seems to have missed that the original comment was sarcasm.

She is the speaker of the house? Someone should let Kevin know.

No need to respond. Their response is synonymous with an admission they made the claim up. Good enough for me.

Source?

You have posted this reply in multiple threads on this post. Is it really that clever?

I don’t believe the sexes of the offender or victim matter much when it is between an adult and a child. Always wrong and that should not be sidelined or downplayed.

> Do muslims need to be forced to sell/serve non-halal items in their establishment?

No and that is a mischaracterization of the decision. This case states that they can decide who they want to sell their items to and discriminate against those they feel are unworthy of their goods.

This ruling does not stop at allowing discrimination against someone for their sexual orientation. It opens the door to discriminating on basically any feeling someone may say they have.

I used dashlane for awhile years ago. Buggy app and slow syncing at the time, overall I was not impressed and would not recommend them.

Why assume this is a 'leftists' idea?

> ...leftism is appealing to many who want to avoid work, so they won't be familiar with the concept of having their hard work pay off

You seem unfamiliar with the values of those you classify as 'leftist'.

This is such a funny take I see so often parroted by the self proclaimed ‘out-crowd’. Your need to feel different and therefore superior clouds your judgment. Some users like iPhones since they are reliable and consistent, exactly like a phone should be.

We tried this at a previous company I was at, it was incredibly tough to maintain and tune. We ended up using databricks which made it significantly more productive.

Tough to say as the article was about a Frenchman.

Conservatives need for the lab leak theory to be correct as they were wrong about basically all other points on covid. They refused to believe in masks, lockdowns, and social distancing and paid the ultimate price at a much higher rate. [0]

True and Regan should have spent time in prison for this! Disappointingly Bill Barr and Bush made all of this go away.

It’s my understanding that the Russian air campaign in Ukraine was rather unsuccessful so they ended up pulling their jets back.

> By June 2022, Russia had not achieved air superiority, having lost around 165 of its combat aircraft over Ukraine which amounted to approximately 10% of its frontline combat strength. Western commentators noted the qualitative and quantitative advantages the Russian Air Force had over its Ukrainian counterpart, but attributed the poor performance of Russian aviation to the extensive ground-based anti-aircraft capabilities of the Ukrainians.

Well sure, when you ignore the quality of the comments, you can clearly frame it that way. No matter, there is not a quality comment in this thread.

Fair enough.

Ooof. Well that is rather uncalled for.

Moving on…

The GP quoted the article and found interesting anecdotes of said quote in history and brought them into the discussion with background information backing up the anecdotes. That’s interesting and additive to the discussion! Your comment did none of that except to slander another side of the world. This is not to say that there are not examples that would support your point, you just apparently don’t feel the need to add anything more!

Working with you on being a better citizen of society (please update your terminology…) is also not interesting or additive to this thread. So I am going to leave it at that. Have a nice day.

You are welcome to add those points to the discussion but right now all we have a statement of, ‘but… but… they do it too!’.

I appreciate the downvote though.

What does this peppering of whataboutism add to the conversation?

Even Elon is struggling to pull this off!

> …coal power plants, which is the alternative

This is a false dichotomy. Even if you ignore renewables, there is still gas and combined cycle plants.

That same president also claimed it would be gone by the summer of 2020. The same president even claimed it would never make it to the USA! Maybe this will be a case of a broken clock being correct twice a day but it was certainly thrown in with quite a bit of incorrect information that was being spewed at those daily briefings. I don’t blame anyone for being skeptical of the information coming out of the Trump administration during that time.

Isn’t it equally truthful to say there is reason to believe the COVID-19 pandemic may have originated elsewhere? Josh Hawley writing this into the bill does not make it anymore valid than the counter point to that statement.

And yet they still took the time to write out a comment explaining their conclusion. Maybe they are not quite there yet on their priorities!

For many people it is the fact their lives are seriously impacted by the political outcomes these gerrymandered elections precipitate. You know, like the government making their personal medical decisions rather than their doctor.

Seems off they consider AP left leaning and then classify The Hill in the center.
