Press X to Doubt
Fuck cars.
You cannot "pre-emptively" defend yourself, an attack to head off a suspected attack is still an attack.
Other than that semantic nitpick, personally I'm there with you.. However, you cannot seriously be pointing this out without also recognizing that Israel is very much the initial offender in any conflict that arises as direct result of their actions in gaza.
If I let a bully sucker punch me so I have an excuse to beat up all the people around them, and then someone else close by hits me, I can't honestly say I am the one who is defending myself.
I would bet that you’re all guys
Weirdly sexist take....
Every time I get downvoted, I move an inch closer to the exit door of this community.
Lol OK bye.
Nobody gives a shit and complaining about down votes is the quickest way to get them.
Guess what! Outside of a few custom instances that for some reason want to be reddit, the fediverse doesn't track your total karma.
Unless you're going back to keep track of your comments for some weird reason, the only time you see a down voted comment is when you get replies.
I could have hundreds of net down votes by now, but I don't know because luckily my instance doesn't track votes.
The point is, it's a little number next to an arrow. Who gives a shit.

A lot of MAGAts would gladly shoot themselves in the foot if they were certain the bullet hurts "the libs"
"gender is a construct"
It's a peaceful life.
Good. Don't be blinded by the tolerance of intolerance.
Oppose at all points.
The moral high road is filled with corpses.
"What is a woman?"
Are you coming on to me?”
I've actually used "I'm flattered, but I'm not into guys, sorry." and when immediately he got pissy and insisted he isn't gay and wasn't asking me out, "It's okay, you don't have to hide who you are, I'm simply not interested." and at that point my patience and certainty they wouldnt try to deck me were out the door, along with myself.
A musical theater performance was probably not the best place for the guy to be attempting to ragebait.
10/10 responses, I'd add in "If you have to ask, maybe you should get out more" which I guess is similar to "Makes sense you wouldn't know"
Well, I could have gone into detail about their scientific and industrial value, but those aren't what massively inflates their perceived importance and price.
Cool, I can burn it to ash with the tools in my garage.
Diamonds are shiny/glittery and hard, that's about it.
I've had the cops called on me for taking my niece and nephew to the park a few blocks away from their house.
Nobody came to ask why I was there or which ones were mine.
Just two cops sneaking up behind me, grabbing my shoulders, hands on their guns demanding to know if I'm there with kids or I just like to fuck them.
My niece ended up calling her mother on their emergency phone and she sprinted down.
Never got an apology from anyone except my sister, who had nothing to apologize for.
I've had more amicable, but still very much confrontational encounters with people assuming I'm there for nefarious purposes.
I tend to avoid parks unless I'm with someone because of that.
I'm going out with a girl after work and we're gonna play in the park.
(It's my wife and I'll be riding my bike while she tries to get used to inline skates again. We're in our 30s.)
But for real I miss being able to just..... Enjoy a playground. Go throw rocks at the creek with friends. Have sword battles with sticks we found while walking by the trees.
But if I do that, people call the cops because some old guy is clearly confused and wandering around...
Yet another crime to throw on the pile.
It's illegal to misrepresent emergency weather information.
Drawing a sharpie to make people who were not in the forecasted path of a hurricane panic and seek shelter/evacuate should be a minimum fine/90 days in jail.
Obviously neither happened.
I've seen police show and threaten arrest up over someone using the emergency broadcast tones too loud at a park on a nice day. But (at the time) commander-in-queef gets free passes to do illegal shit at least once a week.
Totally the same legal system for ruling(owning)/non ruling(the poors) classes.
That is a very weird way to phrase "Old man throws temper tantrum and refuses to do previously agreed upon interview when called out for lying"
As far as I'm concerned, every media outlet that sugarcoats things, or misrepresent things, or otherwise skews the truth about what the MAGAts are up to are 100% in bed with Republicans, and are mouthpieces for the MAGAgenda
Nono, you don't understand.
It IS a ceasefire. As in Hamas ("anyone we decide to call hamas whether it's an actual rebel/terrorist/whatever or someone defending themselves from IDF thugs trying to kill/SA them or a random kid we saw walking down the street and someone's finger got itchy") has to ceasefire.
Why on earth should the IDF, paragon of virtue and goodness, an organization that has never in its history been accused or caught red-handed doing war crimes or Geneva convention violations, be forced to stop murdering innocents "defending themselves" just because the entire world wants them to stop, and because it's the right thing to do...
Next you'll be insisting they treat Palestinians like people! And helping rebuild the countryside they've devastated constructively disassembled and revitalizing the people they have brutalized liberated.
SMH my head
If I need the /s with that much sarcasm dripping off every letter then the world has truly gone to shit.
The system is working as designed.
Nothing to see here, move along.
Everyone knows a popular book series.
Not everyone knows, or even cares about the author.
Lol at least she just thinks they're pretty instead of thinking it'll balance her energies.
