Most people tend to buy the imperfect cheap product rather than the better, more expensive product.

If we refused to buy crap, they wouldn’t make it. If we refused to buy it, they couldn’t make it.

They sell us crap because collectively we prefer it.

That seems like libel to me.

No more than Rapidcreek pretending “The West” doesn’t include France.

Thanks! I’m glad you agree!

We also blew our chance to support Haiti back when they first revolted because we didn’t want our slaves to get any ideas.

As always, American Ideals are based on a lie.

Haiti was punished by the West for daring to fight against their oppressors, and we all, collectively, never stopped trying to crush them.

Now they have the failed state which the West absolutely caused, and scum in this country blame them for the situation they were put in.

Yeah, kind of seems appropriate.

I’m ready to weep from this.

Every time any problem comes up, my current manager insists we must use Excel to solve it.

Except, the article has it in quotes:

“1oz .999% silver medallions”

Which suggests to me they are quoting the announcement.

Given the nature of the person selling them, it would be safer to assume they want you to believe the percent sign is misplaced so that you buy it, but then when you realize it’s less than 1% silver you can’t get your money back.

Cremation doesn’t burn everything to ash. Pieces of bone are left intact and must be mechanically pulverized to make the remains a powder.

When my dad’s dog was cremated many years ago, the remains they gave us were partially ash, but the larger pieces hadn’t been pulverized. It still had many intact pieces of bone. We could see evidence of some injuries and degenerative disease the dog had experienced in his hip and spine.

I’m not sure how many people would be down for rooting through their pet’s remains for proof that it is the right animal.

Who knows, maybe they are Internet keyboard warriors in their spare time.

I’ve included the text (from https://doctors.practo.com/the-hippocratic-oath-the-original-and-revised-version/) below. I’ve also set in bold the phrase which I believe refutes your contention.

If the law prevents you from fulfilling the oath, then you are not able to fulfill the oath.

"I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:

I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow. I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.

I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug. I will not be ashamed to say “I know not,” nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient’s recovery.

I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty.

Above all, I must not play at God.

I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person’s family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.

I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.

I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm. If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help."

Anyone who kills Donald Trump would be an enemy of the people, just like the other scum that fight to keep him from facing consequences for his crimes.

Unfortunately, it sounds like the officers here forgot their duties and training

Unfortunately, you got that wrong. This is exactly what police in America are trained to do.

When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does not take care to support it so that its professors are obliged to call for help of the civil power, 'tis a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one.

• Benjamin Franklin, in a letter to Richard Price.

Of course, it’s not an entirely unreasonable question to ask, and if they were asking it seriously, it could lead to some self-reflection and improvement.

For example, maybe people are trying to assassinate Trump because he’s made it clear that he approves of assassination as a political tool, and he’s also made it clear that he is a worthless piece of slime. Maybe Harris just isn’t quite bad enough to rise to the level of murder to a bunch off morons.

Also Harris hasn’t really disappointed anyone. I don’t think anyone who plans on voting for her believes she’s the second coming of Christ or any bullshit like that.

However Trump is not leading a political movement. He’s leading a cult. When you find out your god is just some asshole, you might snap.

Or people who know how minorities are treated and are therefore afraid to become one.

Donald Trump’s response if asked:

"I’ve never met J.D. Vance. I don’t know who he is. People tell me he’s a fan, but I’ve never met him.

Whenever anyone talks about how high interest rates are now, I remember when my wife and I bought our house in 1997. We were pre-approved for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage at 7.5%, and we were told to take it.

What we were actually told was, "you’ll never see a rate this low again.

they want to go back to pre-civil war

FTFY

Are obligate carnivores still ok to target?
