Ben consistly surprises me in that I think he used to be further right than the Replubican Party, hasn't really moved, and the party somehow surpassed him and he's kinda confused at how the fuck that happened.
"For no reason"
Dude was in colossal pain and saw a problem of which he was a victim, and did something about it. You have one life to live, and you can't say his didn't have any impact. What have you done to better society?
Yes this murder immediately improved a predatory Healthcare change that was scheduled to happen like a day after the killing. We saw Healthcare companies walk back denials in real time after the shooting. We have a huge audience watching and being influenced by this.
You're right that we don't know what the future will hold! Let's white-knuckle the handlebars and see where this goes. In the meanwhile, something *has* changed, and we're going to see if things *keep* changing.
It's actually not illegal! At-will employment is an issue for sure, would you support stronger unionization and strengthening of worker's rights? Because he isn't being let go for being a member of a protected class - in an at-will state, there's nothing legally wrong here.
They arrested her at a protest without cause then tweeted about it publicly along with confidential information about her arrest record and such. Kidnapping is a bit of a stretch - but only a bit. It's isolating an individual to arrest them without cause punitively.
I created the Mathcord just a few days after Unite came out because I had an argument with someone about which items were good on Snorlax and wanted to prove them wrong, but numbers just didn't exist for the game so we reverse engineered a lot of them which became Unite-DB
> but the path towards long-term sustainable change isn’t murder… not even close.
You do realize that every revolution/war/uprising has had people killing people, right?
No, because the Pope is not a billionaire. In fact, the previous Pope lived in squalor with few material possessions and no wealth to his name. Billionaires own wealth, the Pope generally does not.
I mean, this is true even if they didn't commit malpractice. There *are* a lot of people who will try to claim malpractice, even when standard of care is followed. You still have to handle the accusation.
Gender dysphoria is a mental illness with very well-documented and researched treatment: transitioning.
How is substance abuse related to gay marriage getting stripped away?
Oh I don't think we're going to jump there - but of all things that could cause mass upheaval, Healthcare is a potent one. I don't know what will happen, but I see a path there.
What is it with Vince and having characters planned to be killed off in Season 1 of a show but being so beloved they keep them around for several more seasons
Time to find out the logistics of running an entire Melee tournament on one train ride
Anybody wanna help me plan?
Gonna be like $300 entry fee with a $50 prize pool lmaoooo
My take: I personally think he should stay banned, but I understand that it would be reasonable to unban him.
What is unequivocally NOT okay is the fact they were bringing doubt into his original banning by suggesting the evidence was inconclusive
That message susses me tf out
There's another, secondary reason I think you may be missing: I think older gen VGCs weren't as fun for a lot of people. This gen of VGC seems to be very skill-testing both in the builder and in-game, which leads to rewarding gameplay. Good format, more players.
No, but you can make them ache.
Coming out publicly then being laid off immediately afterwards is pretty damning, especially if you tell some people you've already told a few people over the last few weeks but decided to pull the trigger today.
Horrible optics, lawsuit bait.
Yep, and if you're calling international, you have to use the country code too. There was a time where you only needed seven digits, but then area codes were implemented to increase the amount a thousand fold.
The classic:
196+ Atk Life Orb Adaptability Corphish Aqua Jet vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Eviolite Onix in Sun on a critical hit: 1-10 (5 - 50%) -- 0.4% chance to 2HKO
No, it's partially derivative of AAVE, but distinct. Words like Skibidi, Sus, Sigma, Fanum, and Ohio don't come from black expression, but from online/gamer/streamer culture.
It's memed on, not because the message or idea is poorly communicated, but because it was a compete tonal shift from the other comics CAD usually posted. It's a very effective comic at communicating its ideas, which is *why* people meme it. Its ideas are just so unexpected.
He's living in society as it is now and is advocating for bettering it. He's someone who's advocated for changes that benefit society and directly impact him - isn't that exactly what you'd want someone to do, or do you just think any Leftist not living in squalor is a hypocrite?
You know what, as someone who is remarkably similar to the person in the quoted tweet, I'd be curious about your take on my profile.
Shoot me a DM and I'll send you a video of my tinder profile, I'd appreciate whatever criticism you can give from a woman's perspective!
You're correct, that rule was flagrantly broken in this clip.
By Steve, using Block more than five times offstage.
Daisy was clearly trying to return to the stage.
Nah fam, boomboomboom is bouba for sure - clicking drumsticks together is Kiki, hitting the drum rim is Kiki, but a rolling bass drum is 100% bouba, it's so soft and warm of a sound
LMAO I love how little bits of NLism creep out of her mouth from time to time. Which is *usually* fine, but the odd bit is just... awfully telling lmaooo
"Material Moving Equipment Operators" made 340 a week on average in 1983. This is something akin to 17K to 18K a year. If you were being paid 3 bucks an hour, you were working 113-hour weeks to reach that median. You were probably underpaid. At 70h weeks, avg is nearly $5/h.
So just to be clear, if MAGA turns tail and starts hating Tesla the moment Elon gets booted, you'll admit that MAGA is decisively petty, as that seems to be the quality that you decided would ensure they wouldn't.
Nobody disagrees with this - this isn't an argument against what OP posted. The issue isn't these people who should die with dignity, it's people who shouldn't die at all, pressured into it because it's the cheaper option or because their doctors don't want to have to treat them.
It's a private issue between the TOs and Hax. Their private discussions are not something that needed to be shared with strangers. They didn't have a public message up yet, why would they tell anybody who asked?
It's a short term cost until they can figure out how to bring costs down. Service stays up at great cost to the company, and they stay reliable. Eventually they find out ways to make it cheaper, and the service still doesn't drop!
On the other hand, throughout my entire Uni career, I completely wiped the hard drive of my PC, keeping only notes I knew I'd need next semester. I did this every single semester, without fail.
> man does awful thing repeatedly

Exactly - OP is describing a phenomenon thag exists in good faith writing. When adversarial writing exists, good faith interpretations go out the window. I know who the piece is meant for, but I can't be sure they aren't dogwhistling.
But it's not equivalent. It's a subset, so they are not the same. A square is a rectangle, but it would not be correct to say they're equivalent descriptors.
What the fuck are you saying?
Lots of people were surprised when he attempted suicide.
This particular protocol had nothing to do with his death. You can criticize the ban, or the terms, but them not publicly dragging him over it is an absolute non-factor.
Four Season was a funnier beat, but it wasn't a funnier day
No one moment yesterday was funnier than 4S, but the totality of yesterday was funnier than the whole day of 4S
I mean, the LA Riots stopped the kidnapping of immigrants as resources were tied up in stopping the protests, and the protests were actively fighting off ICE agents.
So there were literal practical victories.
It does also have like, a real English meaning. I wouldn't be surprised if the origin was Pokemon, but my money is on it catching steam due to the otherwise common use of the term. "Ditto" just meaning "same" in 90s slang definitely helped it catch on in the early-to-mid 00s.
There is one show where technology is used to streamline the process of using magic.
The "magic is weak" thing is because we're inefficient at doing it. What if technology could control magic better than any individual person could? This is the angle a lot of those stories take.
I got into a big argument in a draft league I was participating in, because the rules said "form changes with no mechanical differences are considered the same mon for drafting purposes", which means Mous and DDun were separated, and it caused a stir
This isn't semantics, you're just strawmanning.
OP posted a screenshot and said that the actions taken within are fine.
You're arguing something else entirely, which is immaterial to the post.
And yeah, absolutely it's devastating he's gone, I wish he wasn't. Still a strawman.
Imagine paying to put this out as an ad - what a fuckin chud ass loser you are to throw this sort of hissy fit that you didn't get your fascist hellscape.
Self-made just means they didn't inherit their fortune. Regardless of the ethical background behind it, Mr. Beast wasn't handed 100 million from a wealthy benefactor.
A perfect example of a joke where everybody knows what the punchline is *going* to be, but Zac knocks it out of the park regardless. Excellent episode!
