Let’s not forget the pictured message they were replying to specifically mentions growling at people and sprinting around.
That shit never went mainstream. Fucking hell

Yes. And there’s also famous people you have never heard of.

- Comment on Y'all ever have intrusive thoughts about accidentally dropping stuff in storm drains? (particulary when you have your phone out) And like if that happens, wtf is someone supposed to do? 1 week ago:
True. Better to have at least two - the suction from the slurry will make it hard to get you out.
In fact, we never entered a lagoon without a second team on site, and one or more from the leadership team would almost always be there as well.
That’s just how dangerous it is.

Damn. That is awful.
Never even so much as consider entering a slurry lagoon without a tether and protective gear.

Used to work for a company that maintained sewer lift stations. Had my earbuds in one day when we walk into the little shack over the station. I scratched an itch by my ear, my earbud popped out and I watched it fall into the slurry. Just stood there for a moment as there was literally no action to take.
On another occasion one of my glasses lenses popped out. My coworker saw it happen, and managed to grab the lens. Unfortunately, it was a plastic lens and contact with the slurry destroyed the surface, so I had to get new glasses anyway. I was able to get a payday loan for new glasses, thankfully, so I invested in 2 pairs of prescription safety glasses!

Omg, shut up.
Your original statement, as written, is false. Just flat out factually incorrect. Your ego was bruised by getting called out on it, so you’ve been all over there damn map desperately trying to pretend otherwise.
You could have accepted you were wrong, and corrected it.

Not a chance. Just good old fashioned Photoshop.

I contradicted your initial statement. You doubled down. I again pointed out the factual error in your statement. You then changed your argument entirely (moving the goal posts). You then made a false claim about what you said (gas lighting). I called you on it. Then you restated my argument as your own. I mocked you for the continued gas lighting. You finally accused me of “well, actually”.
My point is simple: the enforcement of laws is not based on truth, it’s based on debating within a rigid structure intentionally designed to reward the rich and punish the poor. Yes, it is true the law is written the way you claim. It is not enforced in the way your arguments suggested.
My goal was only to point out the dichotomy. Well, my first two comments were. I got annoyed with the dishonest methods of debate, and yes, at that point I decided to mess with you for a bit. For what it’s worth, I believe the oversimplified way your initial comment was stated is dangerous. Approaching legal matters as a matter of recognizing truth can result in horrible personal consequences.
That all aside: it would seem that our views on this matter are actually far more similar than either of us realized. Truce?

…they can be ignored when discussing statistics and viable law.

Changing the goalposts? Whatever
- Comment on Not even close 1 week ago:
Well, no, frivolous lawsuits absolutely cannot be ignored. That will result in a summary judgment against you. In fact, the orange shithead became infamous for illegally refusing to pay contractors, then overwhelming them with frivolous lawsuits which would force the victim to back down because they couldn’t afford the legal fees to defend themselves
Whether the allegation is reasonable or not is irrelevant. If you don’t defend yourself, you lose. If you can’t afford decent representation, you lose. Objective truth doesn’t even count. The wording is the law, whatever precedent exists from previous cases (even if it’s obviously bullshit), and correctly following obtuse rules in how you present your argument are all that matters.
So, call it pedantic if you want, whatever; our legal system just does not work the way you’re implying. At all.

And that justifies bombing civilians? And how about the disgusting shit the us gov is doing to people right here in our country?
Shut up
- Comment on Not even close 1 week ago:
That’s… not how it works. They absolutely can sue, but they’re not supposed to be able to win (or the case ought to be thrown, not completely sure). With all the current bullshit I’m not sure what would happen, though.

Interesting theory. Personally, I’m from the US and fuck this place, I won’t hype it up to anyone. But that’s anecdotal, of course…

I doubt it. I find it far more likely that the merchant is arbitrarily declining if they can’t scrape enough of your data to sell later…

- Comment on What a nice blue and black dress. 5 weeks ago:
Here’s one to ponder: we assume the data related to our brain from our sense gives us an accurate idea of what’s around us. But from an evolutionary standpoint, that is irrelevant - our senses keep us alive, that’s all.
