Whoa whoa whoa… is that a fingerprint in blood? I bet it is, isn’t it…? Knowing these guys it’s gotta be.

It could even be a far right racist propaganda bot.

Alternate challenge: Find a line of more than just a few words from Holy Grail that won’t be recognized.

…wat?

That’s gotta be an internal decapitation, right? I cannot fathom how a full decapitation happens during delivery, unless someone was using a straight up lightsaber to cut the umbilical cord or something.

I would check myself, but I just don’t want to for some reason.

We found them.

Wouldn’t we also be under enough pressure to begin fusing some of that hydrogen into helium at that point?

I was just gonna say, a squash that I cut in half, hollow out and dry is pretty low-tech stuff. Could probably use a coconut if you were in a pinch… Lot of options.

The purpose of a legal system is to provide stability to a society, so that a person can safely pursue long term goals over their lifetime in a predictable environment.

The most effective way to accomplish this is to make a system where laws originate from a process where people are allowed to have some say in the creation of the laws that will apply to them, and the laws are then applied uniformly, consistently and fairly to all people regardless of background.

Our system partially fulfils this.

Can anyone think of a case where opening fire on unarmed citizens actually caused unrest to die down? Because I can’t think of a single case. Even in Russia, the Russian Revolution of 1905 was sparked off by firing on civilians.

In every case I can think of it made things worse for whoever was in charge. Aren’t there any counterexamples?

Then you should hopefully already understand the multiple reasons anecdotal evidence is a poor way of trying to understand large groups of people, which is why we use statistical studies.

The people specifically in your community, engaging with welfare resources, are in no way an accurately representative sample of a larger social class in all areas. Your specific region likely has unique cultural factors at play. The subset of people engaging with welfare have unique economic factors.

That’s really nice. Looks like charcoal?

All your blood vessels dilate (open up more, inflammation reaction) which reduces your blood pressure enough that the heart can’t do its job anymore.

If you want to start an irl group, yeah. If you’re joining an existing group, no though. Fully online is obviously the easiest place to find groups looking for players, but you can also head down to your local gaming store. I’ve seen bulletin boards before with flyers looking for players, but can probably just ask the people working there if they know of any.

Could also check online forums for your local community, maybe even make a post asking if any gaming groups have openings for irl players.

Dungeons & Dragons is one, for the sufficiently geeky.

Shock (in medicine) is a bit of a catch-all term for “blood ain’t pumpin properly”. One example would be from blood loss, where the blood ain’t pumpin properly cuz there ain’t enough of it left in there.

It kills you by depriving your organs of blood flow. There are lots of things that can cause this, from heart attacks to massive bleeding to huge infections in your bloodstream. (sepsis)

It’s less about directly reaching certain people and more about educating the public in an attempt to indirectly shift the overall anti-intellectual bias that is very commonplace in certain communities.

Would’ve been nice if we had started 30 years ago, but better late than never.

This. There was a dramatic shift in his behavior pre-stroke to post-stroke. He also underwent treatment for depression afterwards. It definitely altered his brain.

That isn’t about me being smart. Really it’s just about reading the article.

You can’t just say

delete all images off of each device

and seriously expect me to not point out that’s not what the article says, after I specifically asked that. Either information is accurate, or it is not. Factuality is important, especially these days. It’s not some minor detail, either, had all the images been deleted, it’s likely my overall argument would’ve been incorrect based on the actual evidence.

Then it is no longer necessary to keep bringing it up. It’s frustrating when everyone pretends I’m trying to defend Israeli positions or something instead of simply pointing out that in this one particular case, it’s unlikely to be some coverup conspiracy despite everyone’s rabid wishes for it to be one. The IDF commits plenty of war crimes, but that does not make everything they do another one.

I frankly don’t care if I convince you or not. I am not trying to sell something. I am, however, not going to be swayed away from what I think is correct, either. You all are absolutely trying to sell something, and I ain’t buying.
