Tourette’s tics don’t work like that. A friend of mine has it and his tics most often take the form of compulsive snorting/sneezing.

Of course- but consider that many of the torturers would be able to rationalize what they were doing. Kings were seen as the protectors of the nation via divine appointment, and the church acted with the authority to rival what is written i

No disrespect to you, friend, but a lot of what you said could apply to the mentality of an abused spouse. ‘Just don’t say the wrong thing, don’t set them off…”

The first one. If you are trying to prevent loss of life, that is admirable. Even if the people you save choose to commit violence later, that is on them; the responsibility is not on everyone who had previously helped or healed a (potentia

Because it beats the hell out of escalation and the specter of nuclear exchange.

Boo. That is just a soft form of enforced compliance. Edit: how the heck is the first reply flagged/dead? Doesn’t that exactly prove their point?

Why minimum wage, specifically? If you are really worth 120k+ it seems bizarre that you would just point to some old pre-inflation standard of pay and say ‘that, pay me that.’ In any case, it seems that it would take a fair amount of effort

‘With plans to create realistic synthetic embryos, grown in jars, Renewal Bio is on a journey to the horizon of science and ethics.’ Synthetic, eh? What a choice of word. Considering they are using human organisms to kill and harvest the or

The fact that this is making the news seems to indicate that this sort of corruption is not the norm.

It isn’t the first time YouTube has pushed a specific length of video, but this is more brazen than how they have operated in the past. Several years ago they changed the incentives so a video had to be at least 8-10 minutes in order to ‘pl

You are right, but when results are falsified because of political expedience, that refining process will be subverted or discarded altogether.

We are moving towards an increasingly authoritarian American state, and whether it is flavored right or left will not matter to whatever sociopathic oligarch ends up holding the reigns of power.

I would like to read more about the Clovis Cartel phenomenon, but finding more info about it is tough thanks to lots of clutter regarding criminal cartels. Got a good link I can check out?

That was my takeaway. It isn’t gleeful, it is sad… and I think that’s the point. Getting huffy that a horrific battle is being portrayed with toys seems to miss the entire message.

The ones I am familiar with involve cattle being instantly killed by a high pressure tap delivered between the eyes. Gruesome aspects of butchery like disemboweling happens after the creatures are dead, not before.

It does seem to be a weirdly ritualistic way of quickly signifying that ‘I am on your team, I am not one of the crazy ones; however, I would still like to talk about [touchy subject] without you making baseless assumptions.’

There is constant bias, that cannot be denied. But Putin’s actions are pretty damn blatant. His decisions are directly responsible for the current crisis, and all the blood is on his hands.

That’s one read. There is also the idea that lashing out against real or perceived threats to America was seen as justified in the wake of 9/11. And the US squandered whatever sympathy they had by screwing around in Iraq and convenien
