Planet Earth is blue and there’s nothing I can do.

They don’t need it but they’re worth it.

Stick so I can share it with a dog. In a pinch, the stick can be broken and become more sticks. This is especially useful in a multi-dog scenario.

Dance-fighting the Sharks in the streets of New York City?

Even if the thing doesn’t get airborne anymore, it’d be one hell of a way to build up a flight simulator for gaming. Probably not what’s going on here but it’s what I’d do.

I’d rather believe that it opens outward and upward (out of frame) like a DeLorean.

Maybe go with circus prices instead since they both charge you money to see a bunch of clowns.

Deeply biased in favor of human rights, maybe.

Looks like a horror movie prop but I bet it tastes good.

Nothing of value was lost.

Since your 160/day figure isn’t enough to make the cut, what’s the magic number to push them over the threshold and turn this atrocity into a full-blown crime against humanity? As long as they max out at the Holocaust’s daily average minus one, everything’s peachy? I have no illusions that any of the newly-minted war criminals in the IDF are going to read this and decide to do anything to stop it but an honest, competent observer must see similarities in the barbarism and motives.

I refuse to believe that a sane, rational person would put forth such a braindead argument in good faith.

(With my apologies to any braindead people and their families/friends for the unflattering use of the adjective.)

Hurt people hurt people Genocided people genocide people.

Learning from other peoples’ mistakes/crimes against humanity has never been our strong suit.

Hey man, if Allah didn’t want those drones to get shot down, don’t you think he could have done something about it? Almost sounds like he’s incapable of meaningful intervention. Does that mean humans (and technology) are more powerful than god?

In some cases, yes. We should do the same here in the USA once the value of a person’s theft exceeds a limit based on the value of a human life. There is a number for that based on earning potential and some other factors. Give it a multiplier (maybe ten times the value of a life but that’s for bean counters to figure out) and also consider mitigating factors like we do in homicide cases. Somebody who steals enough to wipe out many lifetimes of hard, honest work may not be directly killing anyone but theft at that scale has destructive and deadly consequences.

No true Communist-man, got it.

Talking about the Russians who fought side-by-side with their Nazi pals up until Hitler decided he wanted their country too?

You know we’re living in strange times when the commies are doing something good.

In the USA and (most, if not all of) Canada, calling 211 should connect you with a call center which can give information on food benefits, utility assistance and other resources available in your area. Eligibility and the amount of assistance (whether in the form of direct payments, food items or a payment card that only works for food) will vary based on your location, income, etc. but it may help offset those increased costs.

There’s no shame in it despite what the red-hat golden bootstraps crowd will tell you. Times are tough right now for a lot of people and that’s what these programs are for.

Back to the regularly scheduled shitposting though.
