I’ve also long suspected that PETA was once an upstanding organization that had internal strife and the original founders pushed out by the psychos.

My first thought: why do these efforts have to be exclusive? We can do both.

Now do infer versus imply.

They don’t mean the same thing. Effect means to actively change something. Affect means to have passively receive a change.

Affect

Victim blaming, gotcha.

I think that you’re actually putting too much stock into these people. They are just nasty people being nasty as far as they can. Any planning is superficial.

I would think that loss of a child. As a teenager, I had a neighbor whose friend had lost both a child and a spouse and who said that the spouse was more difficult. Of course this is subjective and will depend on each person.

AFAIK there are rarely whales born in captivity and nearly all were stolen from their pods and thrown into a swimming pool.

Because the problem was never the genocide. It was who can be a victim of it or not.

lol my first question was whether that was from wales

When Austin Powers came out I thought it was the funniest thing ever. 25 years later I watched a few scenes and turned it off. It aged really poorly.

And you stopped arguing and started making personal attacks so this conversation serves no further purpose.

This is an aspect of driving that people don’t get. It doesn’t necessarily matter WHAT the laws are–there are so many ways to drive all around the world. What matters is that everyone follows the same ones so that they know what to expect from others. If people routinely ignore one law in a region and that’s part of the expectation, then everyone is just fine. It’s that one person who doesn’t follow the norms that is dangerous.

There are no “bad people” but plenty of people who do shitty things. Here are some of those that street racers do:

1. They endanger themselves and others
2. They make a lot of noise
3. They pollute, scar, and mark the streets

So probably “yes” if you want to define it that way.

Yes. Also yes. I clip the breather to my backpack. It just hangs there and I don’t notice it.

No, that’s when the tanks come in. Have you forgotten that the police have used airplanes and bombs to subdue people? They have even destroyed entire neighborhoods. In what world do you live where you think you can win here? You will be squashed just like millions before you and the world will keep turning.

Better headline: Police shoot indiscriminately and kill one person while injuring two others.

It is very cavalier to say that unless you are willing to be one of the first sacrifices.

Because people who are legal concealed carry permit holders regularly get shot in the back by police. People who act like you can stand up to a major world military are idiots.
