I made this to commemorate your first date with your husband, will you marry me and wear this on your finger forever?

Dude that’s not even close to the most insane part. They expect one in every 8 humans on the whole earth to play EVERY DAY.

We’ve been hiring these “police trainers” that have been telling police that their job is super dangerous and anyone can kill them at anytime if they’re not ready to kill at the drop of a hat. Then creating bullshit scenarios where grandma passes by in the street and shoots them. Like the lady in the red dress in the matrix training.

Anyways being a cop has a lower chance of getting you killed than being a pizza delivery driver, so these people are ALWAYS ON EDGE but the payoff never comes. So they behave like an immune system when nothing is happening by attacking the body.

So they’re beating innocents and abusing criminals left right and centre and there is nothing we seem to be able to do about it other than give them more militarized equipment so they can beat us better while feeling safer doing it.

What is this, Hitman?

Can you imagine being married to someone, having a family with them, they get a really cool project at work that exposes them to some billionaire. Then they realise that a short relationship with a billionaire will get them further ahead in life than a lifetime of being with you and they drop your whole family just like that. There is nothing you can do because it’s true, you’ll never be able to offer them anything close to what they have access to. Convincing them into staying with you means fundamentally holding them back, forcing them into a life of regrets and what ifs.

Fucking brutal.

What country has a system where SOLDIERS IN THE MILITARY can’t be forced to invade another country?

Like it’s a nice ideal, but considering your idea is novel and radical maybe start with countries that aren’t at war.

Second of all, once you’re at war, you’re at war. There is no “just defend your territory” because that means there is no reason not to invade you and no loss scenario for your invader, the worst outcome they lose some soldiers and your borders are unaffected. Once you are attacked you have to seek every legal advantage (see the Geneva convention) to obtain victory and repel your attackers. On that basis I’m not even sure your idea is sound or reasonable in the first place for a defending country. And in this specific scenario it’s just helping Russia.

I’m marking you as a Russian troll just to see how often you’re on here defending Russia by “just asking questions” about the actions of Ukraine while not holding Russia to any standard at all .

I don’t know what made them pick such a restrictive definition here. Why not extend it to extremist hate speech against any of the protected grounds (sex, sexuality, gender expression, race, age, etc…). Like it’s great we’re protecting one group of people from extremism, but why not protect everyone?

Yeah, everyone knows that when white people do it they’re “expats”!

You could have paid an interior designer a couple hundred dollars for a home visit and better advice. Nothing your realtor did was worth a 5%-6% cut.

You’re describing a home inspector. I’ve never had a realtor assess the condition of a house. It’s not their job. Plus, even with the best realtor, having an intermediary during negotiations only ever makes the process more complicated. If you have a home inspector and a good lawyer you can easily do rest yourself with no real risks. Both of them charge fixed fees for their services too and I wouldn’t buy a house without both anyways. Realtors are 100% superfluous.

It’s so funny to me how transparent these capitalists are. “We can’t find any employees!” That’s strange because all of their competitors who increased wages have employees and there are 1.4 million Canadians looking for work. Damn lazy entitled business owners and the politicians that enable them.

What evidence do you have that she’s intersex? No one anywhere has come forward to share test results that show she’s intersex or anything but cis female. Sure some Russian guy who got fired for corruption said it to a reporter ONE TIME after Imane beat a Russian boxer, but that’s literally all you got.

Based on nothing… You spent 20 severely downvoted comments to say “I don’t have any evidence but in my heart I feel like she’s not a real woman and shouldn’t be allowed to box at the Olympics”

I’m glad you’re not in charge of anything, fuck, this shit’s wild!

I get your sentiment, certainly. When regulations work well they protect engineers and technicians from the pressure to cut corners to save money. That’s hard work that can only be done by well funded and fully empowered regulatory bodies something that’s unfortunately become a political issue and is being actively undermined.

That being said I’ve been on both sides of the engineer-regulator relationship and I’ve rarely been in a “trust us bro” situation. Both sides want a safe, high quality product. When regulators work well, they can definitely protect engineers from capitalist pressure. Being able to say “sorry, I know it’s expensive, but we have to do it or we won’t get certified” is worth its weight in gold when you’re trying to design a good, safe product!

Public safety should be managed by public entities, not private. That’s a blatant conflict of interest and I’m not a fan whatsoever.

Some things can sometimes work well, like when the regulation is publicly managed but privately tested using straightforward methods. UL does decent work here, but the profit incentive on both sides creates a nasty conflict of interest and puts pressure on engineers and technicians that compromises their work and integrity.

There is nothing fundamentally broken about our regulatory system except politics. If the funding stops getting cut and politicians stop gutting regulatory bodies’ ability to interpret and enforce regulations there won’t be a problem.

Regulators in general care about their work, care about public safety, and use sound statistical approaches to getting the best bang for the taxpayer and corporate dollar. Keeping private profit out of the equation means costs are low and companies aren’t at a competitive disadvantage internationally.

You’re getting downvoted but people REALLY don’t understand the field of regulation. How many regulators do people think exist? Compare that with the number of engineers and technicians designing building and testing cars at the OEMs? Do you think these people can get 100% validation? Do you think there is budget or appetite to achieve this level of regulation?

It’s not even a desirable goal. Do you think every batch of food and agricultural goods that is manufactured or imported is 100% inspected? How feasible do you think that is?

The point is regulators are generally able to use sound statistical methods to obtain excellent levels of public safety with TINY budgets. Sure, more would be better, but it will never be necessary to get close 100% coverage simply because most humans WANT to make a quality product and most manufacturers… at least have a brand to protect in terms of not killing anyone.

Yeah and they should also eat vegan organic low FARTMAP gluten free Paleo diet. It will fix everything! It cured my mom’s dementia, fixed my kleptomania, my brother has a bigger penis and my dad stopped smoking!

Following the established process for what?

Is it for “walking away from parental responsibility?”

No. A mother/parent/or guardian can abandon a newborn at most hospitals, fire stations, or safe haven deep off stations. In most cases the process is anonymous if you want it to be.

It’s just how the industry markets chicken nuggets to adults “these aren’t children’s chicken nuggets, they’re BONELESS WINGS for manly men who enjoy suicide hot sauce”
