It is what it is (Tim Kreider)
  • I believe that's the point being made. "Representative Democracy", or at least the pretense of which some live under at this time, is the best we ("we" referring to a particular group of people, not humanity as a sum) have found so far.

    Mother gets 30-day sentence for waterboarding baby, putting him in freezer, authorities say
  • Holy crap! Did you hurt yourself whipping so fast to understand exactly the point?

    Of course a broken person shouldn't be punished for being broken! Fuckin duh! dipshit

    Should such a person be prevented from harming others? Absolutely.

    Is the right move to lock this person away for 30 days of to lock them away for the rest of their life? No. Neither of these is an option even a four year old would expect to prevent this person and others in similar situations from performing similar crimes. I am confident, in fact, that even you could think of a better solution if you thought about it for about twelve seconds. Is that solution, or any solution, likely to be the perfect solution? Absolutely Not. A solution that's dog shit would be more effective than the one implemented here.

  • I love my Thursday boots. I do a fair amount of standing and walking in them and wear them all the time and they've always been comfortable for me.

    Joe Biden to join picket line with striking auto workers in Michigan
  • I read this article but didn't see, mind helping me get clarity?

    What I read from the article is that the companies wouldn't give in to the unions' demands, Biden forced the unions to keep working but then kept pushing(?) for the demands of the unions'.

    What powers does the president have to force / encourage the rail companies to adopt the demands of the unions? How did Biden keep pushing? What does pushing mean in this context?

  • Pretending the incident was random and unpredictable is your preferred way of preventing incidents like this from happening again?

    Figure out what how and why the problem came to exist, that's kinda a big part of solving it.

    What's a low effort, but impressive, party trick to learn?
  • If you have apples lying around, tearing one in half with your bare hands is actually pretty easy. There are quick guides on YouTube but basically, if I'm remembering right, you put the heels of your palms together at the bottom of the apple and finger tips at the stem and kind of squeeze the apple and try open the apple like a book. It makes a big difference having freshly washed hands.
