Meant by whom? The people who do things like this have different, personal motives. They aren’t doing it to spread ideology, they’re doing it to address specific ideological needs in irrational ways.

It bothers me when people aren’t consistent.

Like when something good happens to them: god is rewarding me for being so good

When somehting bad happens to them: god is testing me and will reward me later for being so good

When something bad happens to someone they don’t like: god is punishing them for being so bad

Or like how they pray to god for individual favors. Like “dear god even though I didnt study please let me do well on this test” as though god should care and give them special treatment for… nothing. Yet they claim to value hard work, god only gives you what you can handle, are generally fatalistic, etc.

Yes?

Uncle Snopes says so too

Banger of a meme tho

I feel this way about 98% of canteloupes. Canteloupe can be very tasty if it is perfectly ripe and grown in good conditions. Not worth the risk though. Much better with prosciutto, too

Regarding ballistics evidence, I am talking about one very specific thing that they have explicitly refused to comment on: whether he actually shot that guy. Even in the charging documents, about him discharging a firearm in the commission of a violent attmepted crime or whatever it’s called, they still don’t say that he discharged it at the ss officer.

I take your point, but I am not wildly speculating. Them witholding evidence in a very specific way is itself evidence as it implies a possibility (that the shotgun was not fired at the ss officer).

I’m not yet saying that certainly didn’t happen, just that we’re hearing different things from different sources who were present, the charging docs, etc. that do not line up in the way you expect.

That opens the door for questions around what really went down. Nothing definitive, but it raises questions.

I don’t “know” for certain yet. But they have been really cagey about even answering whether Allen fired any shots. And the one guy they originally reported him as having shot with buckshot to the chest, now they can’t determine whether that was actually friendly fire.

These guys were all packing pistols. Iirc from photos there were some guys with ARs.

Do you think you could easily identify the effects of a shotgun firing buckshot at relatively close range from that of a pistol? I bet you could. It’s really easy. Bunch of little holes creating 1 really big hole if close enough? Shotgun. 1 small hole? Pistol/rifle.

I’m not usually in on conspiracies, but this one really doesn’t add up. Seems reeeeal weird to say the least.

Apparently they don’t actually have any proof the guy fired a gun (there was a spent shell in the shotgun, but the admin has said the shot ss officer was possibly friendly fire? You’d think they could tell a shotgun in bulletproof plate from 9mm impact…)

We don’t have a name on the ss officer that was shot or any evidence he was shot at all.

Response to move trump was real slow despite having had 2 prior assassination attempts made.

The experience I and some other ppl I know had was like:

Child Me: what is heaven like?

Them: you’re always happy all the time because you’re near god and singing his praises forever

Me: but wait like what about playing or doing stuff I like doing now?

Them: well you wouldn’t have a body anymore, and you’d like doing those things because you’d be in heaven then. It’s like being in church forever, but you always feel happy and loved because you’re with god.

Me, disturbed: What about my friends and my parents and family?

Them: yeah they’ll be there if they were good, but they wouldn’t have bodies. If they were bad theyd be tortured in hell for eternity by demons.

Me, more disturbed: and I’d still be happy despite that?

Them: basically, yeah

Me, super disturbed: god sounds like a seriously bad dude and everything you’ve said is terrible

98 of world’s hottest cities

It is 98/100 of the world’s hottest cities, just fyi - not like 98 of world’s 69,420 hottest cities, or something

I wonder if it’s a regional thing? I’ve only ever heard it in movies or older TV shows. Where I live people are much more likely to just say “crippled” or describe someone as walking with a limp.

I was confused when I saw Pulp Fiction as a kid because I was like “why is this handicapped guy in a leather suit and what does him being hadicapped have to do with his apparent hobbies” lol. But like I said, never really heard it used in other contexts.

Gimp is really just a rare/archaic ableist slur anyway - like to refer to someone with a limp or otherwise a leg/lack of a leg that impedes their gait. I’ve never heard it used in my life.

The sexual usage is from gay bdsm subculture in the 70s that the large majority of ppl who are aware of it are only aware because of Pulp Fiction.

My vote is for pimp

Seems like a useful thing to say, though, regardless of who says it, right?

As a non-european, I’d like to see european resistance to the fascist forces of the US and Russia.

I was agreeing with you

The framing and double-standard is chauvinist and bad.

But there are reasons to be skeptical of suicide stats worldwide due to cultural ideas and norms around suicide. Like, look at the US. It was common practice for coroners to put accident as cause of death even if it was clearly suicide - and still is, to some degree. Only recently have statisticians began including certain other cases of “accidental” death as suicide (some single car crashes, gun “accidents”, ODs, etc).

And different countries have different methods for reporting out on suicide. It’s not founded to say countries are intentionally skewing suicide stats, but it would be constructive to be skeptical about how those figures were arrived at before believing memes without citations.

Came here to say this. Very confusing

Hard to pick one, here are a few:

• Triangle of Sadness

• Challengers

• Conclave

• The Wrestler

• The Drama

Oh for sure. I only meant in the US where MIT is located. But it’s already a useful breakthrough for everyone in civilized countries

Now make mammograms not $500 and not have a 6 month waiting time and make them available for women under 40. Then this’ll be a useful breakthrough
