  • How is that ableist? It was “coined” by Horatio Nelson who himself was blind in one eye and ignored an order from his superior officer by raising a telescope to mockingly “look” at the signal flags of his superior’s ship while saying that he quote, “had the right to be blind sometimes”.

    If you’re in circles where people are preformitively picking apart every single phrase known to man then the answer is ignore it.

    This sort of thing almost 98% of the time happens online. No one is going around real life and getting mad at people saying phrases like that, unless said phrases include slurs or are egregiously racist, sexist, etc.

  • All good! Hit and runs suck.

  • How many people are those island nations supporting through desalination? Do you really think that is anywhere near the same as creating enough water for ten of millions, hundreds of millions, or billions of people???

    Further, island nations ration water to an extreme degree, and they also don’t need to support agriculture to massive scales like mainland farms in Russia, China, or the US do.

    I never said desalination was impossible. I said it was extremely expensive and nigh impossible to scale to a degree that the world could use it. The vast majority of countries could not afford the resources required for that, or sustain it for long at all.

    Also are you serious? Lack of political will? Most irrigation comes from rivers, like it has for thousands of years. Or farmers draw it from wells that draw ground water. Those well and rivers are running dry. Have you looked at any research related to this?

    Also “you drink treated water”, yes… it’s still freshwater. The treatment is to remove sediment, bacteria, and other harmful elements. Guess where those water plants get there water? Rivers, lakes, and aquifers.

  • 2/3rds of the planet is unpotable, unclean saltwater that is extremely difficult to desalinate and requires immense amounts of electricity, technology, and manpower to do on a scale to create fresh potable water. It isn’t economical or feasible to rely on desalination. Especially since barely any countries could actually afford to do it.

    Further, agriculture as a whole relies on irrigation. What are countries going to do when rivers run dry and ground water has been drained? You can’t use saltwater, that will kill all your crops.

    You need freshwater to grow staple crops such as wheat, corn, rice, potatoes, and other grain. No water, no food.

  • Because you’re supposed to get the other persons insurance and your insurance goes after them.

    If there’s no one to charge, then how can the insurance trust you? What if you damaged the car yourself somehow and are trying to pass it off as car damage?

    They will do anything not to pay. There is also a reason why “Hit and Run” is a felony.

  • Those are not cheek pouches, but fat deposits from gorging yourself on an estimated 700-800 kilos of grain a day. The Lemmygrad PI’s are very diligent.

  • Then how do you respond to the proof? Look at that spread, utter gluttony…

  • No one knows truthfully. It seems that Hamas leadership on the ground and the chain of command is in shambles. So coordinating anything is difficult.

    However, they have signaled that they would be open to a complete and permanent ceasefire, and not the 6 week American proposal.

  • American cultural imperialism has melted the minds of billions worldwide.

    Some of my Belarusian family living in deep woods 100km from the nearest population center, isolated from most of humanity, have MAGA hats and try to talk to me about trump “draining the swamp” and “fighting the immigrants”. Fml

  • Yep can’t forget about those types.

    Also don’t forget about the oil barons who want to escape regulation and obliterate everything for every drop of oil they can extract.

  • A massive portion of that number comes from Eskimo and other indigenous tribes who want to be independent.

    Nobody in Alaska cares about Russia.

  • In full honesty as well, in every possible way that would affect the average Taiwanese person, Taiwan is already independent.

    Why would they want to “declare independence”? How would they impact the average person in any way at all?

  • The vital discussions that will build socialism come in many forms.

  • But that implies that you are pooping on the tp? How would going on litter solve the problem that tp is meant to solve? Did you mean to say that you should use the litter if you don't have a toilet?

  • Lmao, people like you are hilarious. Hope you grow up sometime soon, because something tells me you have a hard time with relationships that may or may not be because you've pigeonholed yourself with being a terminally online moron.

    Simple human psychology.

    😂 We got the psychology expert in the room here with us. I to can pull stuff out of my ass.

    In the lib Twitter world you live in perhaps. In the adult world, no. I don’t know of any such case. But I know of cases where the person who tried to continue to “be friends” snapped and got depressed and made the situation worse

    "I know of cases." Uh huh, sure you do. Are these cases in the room with us now, or are they in reddit posts and discord servers from incels like you?

    Because guess what, idiot, he was friends with her before these feelings started.

    Lmao again, literally zero brain cells. That's what I was saying, if you were friends before, what did you value in the person and can you not just enjoy that? If you can't distance your feelings then that's a different question, but most people can.

  • No, because this is an obvious and extremely common incel talking point that is so blatantly wrong and funny that it outs someone as an incel immediately.

    Touch grass, what Kaffe was saying is extremely common, and many people that were good friends before confessing manage to remain friends if they distance their feelings and respect the wishes of the other side.

    If staying their friend is "torturous" why were you that person's friend to begin with?

  • “So you see, Stalin is the Chad and Trotsky is the Soyjack because during the 13th Congress of the Party…”

  • True, it is well worth it, but that doesn’t mean that the 100+ deaths before weren’t excruciating.

    Grenades, Stg’s, and Panzershreks galore
