That you've consistently chosen immature women to have relationships with tells us nothing about the average woman. You weren't unlucky, you specifically made choices that led to these outcomes. Had you chosen women purely randoml

It shouldn't even be legal, much less on a checklist. Doctors will swear up and down on their oaths or whatever other high horse when it comes to euthanasia, but mutilating children without their consent is all good!

No need to contemplate anything if your run-of-the-mill average job lets you support your entire family and purchase a house.

The primary concern during a war is of course making sure the lethal weapons produced are organic, vegan, and biodegradable. Assuming Ukraine survives, they will have decades of work ahead of them cleaning up all the mines and other live mu

That's a ridiculous analogy. The pilots aren't sitting in front of a uniform set of keys that they need to press in a specific order with a specific timing. The mistake equivalent to what the pilot supposedly did would be if the p

Those are caused by operating the same lever in a slightly different manner. Not comparable to two completely differently designed levers placed far apart. Same goes for accidental acceleration instead of braking. Two of the same kind of le

I get what you're saying but that driver behind you did not almost crash into you because you decided to abruptly slow down. He almost crashed into you because he did not maintain a safe following distance, wasn't paying attention

The status bar displays key information to the user. Do you think people would prefer a video player with no play/pause, volume, seekbar or one with them? The interface is the most important part of any application.
