I’d be really interested to know the source of whatever stats say that. I mean, it’s not like people actually stopped drinking, so why would domestic abuse “disappear”? That also totally implies that domestic abuse almost entirely happens because of alcohol.

With how much political/financial influence/bribery was behind prohibition, I’d totally bet statistics are skewed in favor of prohibition.

Eh, I don’t think the correlation of age is the causation of getting wounded or killed due to questionable decisions on powerful motorcycles. I’d venture to say the correlation is moreso in personality type, and aversion, or lack thereof to risk.

Like, you don’t see complete straight edge 16 year olds getting bikes, and from my own anecdotal experience, my straight edge friends were scared of it. Though if there wasn’t an inherent aversion to the risk, I’d bet those types would be incredibly safe motorcycle drivers.

The types that currently get them are the types that will take risks, regardless of their age, and we can’t rightly outlaw something because some risk takers act dangerously on them. We’d have to outlaw cars too.

Fun fact: the CO2 version can actually be made incredibly cheap if you retrofit a decently sized paintball CO2 canister to work with your soda machine (kits can be bought). The biggest difference is that paintball CO2 isn’t food grade, but it’s pretty common to dismiss this if that’s something you’re comfortable doing.

You go from spending however much (think I remember them costing as much as $50 for like, 12oz) on a SodaStream proprietary CO2 canister, to spending like $10-$30 every couple of months on a 20+ oz fillup at your local sporting goods store, and the one time $40-$60 for a decent sized canister that lasts forever. Seriously, I still have my canister from when I played paintball in 2008.

Yeah, no. The base price will be whatever price it is now (probably higher), then price will increase during busy times. They have zero incentive to make it cheaper, ever.

Looking forward to more Viltrumite vs. Viltrumite

I’m going to 36 weeks of military training that will also be a substantial pay cut from my civilian career, but worth it in the long run as it’ll be the necessary experience to switch my civilian career to my field of interest. Not looking forward to the training, but I’ll be in such a better spot once I’m finished. Looking forward to that!

“I followed the rules, Boss. Not my fault the rules are stupid 🤷‍♂️”

That’s like, the only protected class

How was it transphobic? The whole entire show is extremely critical of the wars (Vietnam in theory, and Korea in practice), the military, and the state of society in general.

Stating that it’s transphobic because it just depicts a common practice of draftees seeking non-dishonorable discharge is like stating “Get Out” is a racist movie because it depicts racism.

The only hate ever depicted towards Klinger is by characters that are considered antagonistic. Not to mention the multiple plotlines that are extremely supportive of homosexual characters.

Save for the first three seasons with Hawkeye and Trapper’s overt “womanizing”, it’s an extremely woke show even by today’s standards. Alda even spoke out against his character being written as such. At most, it’s fairly misogynistic. I’m not really sure how you come up with transphobic though, unless you haven’t really watched it.

One of, if not my favorite shows ever. I don’t understand why so many people I know are entirely dismissive of it. The hacking is accurate, the characters are compelling, and the plotline is amazing. It inspired me to get into Cybersecurity.

No - drone light shows weren’t used in cargo cults

Hello Kitty No Hanabatake I believe was the very first video game I played when I was like 4. PGA Tour Y2K was a banger too.

Most likely Deuteranomoly actually, anopias defects are slightly more rare.

Don’t forget, you, not OP, are also taking a risk. We’re all on the road, it’s fucking disgusting that people will do this instead of just study for a little bit.

Holy shit I was just there for the first time last weekend, didn’t even realize that was Harambe

Climbing is for real G’s 😎

Got me on that point - my primary point is that due to their lesser function, and extremely different species, I find it just fine to consume them given they’re raised properly, and aren’t constantly in pain. Y’know, not in cages, and not exploiting the definition of “grass fed”, or “organic”, or whatever Tyson wants to advertise next that makes rich people feel like they’re the good guys.

Ultimately, once lab meat can be of the same quality and easily accessible/affordable, then I’d consider switching. No reason not to. Until then, it’s the easiest, most accessible, most fulfilling, and healthiest way to get the nutrients we need, and doesn’t weigh on my conscience, nor should it.

Fuck Tyson though, those bastards can go to hell.

See, now you’re actually just forcing your worldview on people. They literally are not people, they are not sentient, intelligent, nor do they have language. They are not analagous to people, and you comparing this to racism is a really shitty attempt at ad hominem.

Grow up.

Animals other than humans aren’t people, that’s why it’s okay. You should be the first law enforcement official that prosecutes predatorial non-human animals

Would you believe that I don’t want to eat just plants and pills for each meal? Would you also believe that I disagree with the industrialization of farming and the animal abuse that is so commonly paired with it.

There are humane ways to eat meat, and while they’re difficult to find, it’s a lot easier than eating what most people would consider disgusting everyday.
