I feel bad for the victims but as PT Barnum said there's a sucker born every minute. Trump is tapped into a large number of suckers.

Wagner group doesn't have any air assets, the Air Force probably could annihilate them on the way to Moscow. Not much cover in Russia

How? Special back door secret deals for one and only one company is the definition of anticompetitive.

Competition is defined as more than one lol

Edit: I'm special, I am first place! But if you knew it was 1st place of one... I sure hope you think me as noncompetitive....🤣 It's strange to me to think I'm competitive if I have no competitors.

"there are attributes that we can regulate to prevent the most deadly weapons"

Can we agree that the silencer is not one of these. All it does is protect my hearing.

You say that like it's a defense though.

Yeah they're paying the people who make the product we sell so little that they don't even get enough money in a paycheck to have it be worth sending them a paycheck!!

That is misleading.

Why would naked pictures of yourself be a permanent stain on their reputation?

Our bodies are just winging it. It's both beautiful and goodness and all kinds of other things but it's a bit philosophical at times.

I had ITP. Autoimmune something which means they don't know what caused it but my body stopped acknowledging that parts of my blood cell, not the entire one just a piece of it, we're not me. Of course not me gets flushed out.

But the fancy words for part of a blood cell is called a platelet if you don't have any platelets you don't clot. As you can probably pick up not being able to clot is a big problem. I was in danger of bleeding out because my body decided to take out all my platelets.

Seems like an easy problem. If a whole blood cell is me because the DNA matches and all kinds of other things, obviously one cell of me is one cell of me. But if you take one cell of me and you break it up into pieces is it still one cell of me? By definition is not it is 50% of me....

So one cell of me is obviously me and one cell of you is obviously you but what happens when we get into percents at what percent does my cell stop becoming me?

My opinion that would be just like asking who would own the streets you use to get to it.

We don't wonder how that really expensive bridge gets owned... Sometimes it's due to tolls but not always.

For what it's worth BG3 is two AA's not three AAA.

Every time I fly my plane with my pilot's license I strap an ankle bracelet "on" (I admit I have to turn on my ADSBlol ) and upload that location with a 5 second delay on one of the most popular websites for aviation.

FlightAware tracks all the flights that I've ever made and there's an app for it.

Why do you think this is a problem? You might have dog food for brains.... 🤣

I will say that unlike the horse and buggymakers or the barrel makers or the candlestick makers who have all lost their jobs I do admit...

None of those are as inherently human as sexuality is.

Capitalism makes a great cell phone. Capitalism is terrible when it takes precedent over humans and people.

Can't believe I'm responding to a troll but Russia is a bit behind the times Ukraine is no longer run by Hitler and the Nazis.

Times has changed it is no longer 1940. Back in 1940 it's true there were Nazis in Ukraine. I repeat back in 1940.

There are Nazis but they're in the United States not Ukraine.

How many times has this actually worked? I'm not going to go on a very far limb to say that social media's ability to revisit topics is very very very low.

In fact it seems like it's the opposite and and once you're out of the media cycle you're gone.

I wouldn't take your advice. 👍 By the time the court case is over and you've 'won' you've lost your job house and family to bad press.

Well using inflation, if I have the phone for the two years at the end of the two years I'm paying back with money that's worth less.

I personally don't do it but it is literally good value because you pay back with money that is worth less - future money

What an odd take. Since you're not California you're basically saying hey look at those people over there they're taking care of their own business. And then you decide to butt in.

What's your skin in the game You don't live in California You don't work in California You don't vote in California why do you care?

For what it's worth 750 a month is probably less than what a kid costs. Depends on where you live but that seems decidedly low price for a kid

I mean with this logic:

You know a lot of people were okay with slavery......

Just to be clear I'm pointing out that morality is not something that humanity votes on. Because humanity voted okay on slavery.

"So what's stopping Palestinians from putting pressure on them?"

What would you do if you were the Palestinian in this question. seriously. Hamas is not held an election since 2006 what would you do to put pressure on Hamas while you lived in the Gaza strip?

The answer to your question is lots of stuff is stopping the Palestinians from putting pressure on Hamas.

Not true, true, not true. 1/3 is not very accurate.

You left off the /s sarcasm tag. Cuz off the top of my head Genghis Khan didn't have access to gunpowder.

Killed so many people it was good for the environment. Guns wish they killed as many people.

I said when your age you haven't tried to buy a gun or ammo recently have you? I hadn't in a while back when I was in my twenties.

I mean my personal anecdote is : I bought a gun and ammunition back in the early 2000s. As I'm no gun nut I hadn't messed with it much until somewhat recently.

I called up my police department and my police department said that there's three conflicting laws and how to transport my gun to the shooting range. I think you just haven't kept up at the times. I mean no insult saying that since I'm your age. 😁

I know right fun fact no genocides ever happen before the invention of gunpowder

I don't understand the point you're making. If airplanes hitting a building can do the same damages chemical weapons.....

Chemical weapons can kill entire areas just like planes hitting buildings. I'm a licensed pilot.

Didn't need to kill a millions. I'm just saying that the jet hitting a building kills as many as a chemical weapon can.

Chemical weapons not going to kill more people than 9/11.

Building More nuclear will help with climate warming. None of your links deal with that.

In my opinion clean is anything that doesn't emit out of smokestacks.

Also in this case it doesn't emit out of smoke stacks while the sun's down and the wind's not blowing.

Dams are terrible for the environment so hydro is out. Nuclear is cleaner than hydro.

What? Damns have nothing to do with nuclear. You're thinking of in Ukraine and that's unique situation. Also that dam was blown up and the nuclear power plant didn't explode.

Take the nuclear titties near me, not a dam in sight.

Because I have the right to get a manufacturer that is not liable. Much like my ability to get a car is based on the fact that auto manufacturers not liable My ability to get a gun is absolutely reliant upon gun manufacturers not being liable.

You are not participating in a good faith discussion if you don't acknowledge that making guns manufacturers liable will remove my choice to shoot paper.

You're proposal will affect me, at least if you're arguing in good faith.

How do you do " can make that happen and still get rid of"

Explain please.

By this definition, 9/11 proves that a jumbo jet is a WMD. I don't know if I can call a jumbo jet a WMD.

How is a chemical weapon going to kill a million people???

I still have my V10 and v20. My v60 is better though. Definitely some trade-offs but I will argue that v60 is better

At least for men. I'm very certain this is one of the cases where science is done upon men. Men don't have good mechanism of getting rid of iron, but women do. 👍

I agree we need help now. There's a reason it comes so far in the future and all of them are artificial.

If we really wanted to we could build safe nuclear tomorrow. Okay that's a bit of an exaggeration but you know what I mean.

Have you never heard the term "vote with your wallets" before? I feel like a broken record so maybe I'll just let this one go.

Voting with your wallet is something you do everyday it is not something you do on November 4th.

When a phone is sold the unique number is submitted. This number is going to come from authorized dealer or an unauthorized dealer.

If a dealer in California submits that IME number, then they can differentiate that from a dealer in Mexico.
