If someone said "do a line, you'll feel better" then hands me fucking bubble wrap, I'd punch him.

Protip: Tell ChatGPT what's in your liquor cabinet and it'll recommend you drinks.

Caution: This is too easy and can result in becoming an alcoholic.

This white substance has a story to tell.

This will probably go down as the single dumbest idea in the 20th century, because when the social welfare system collapses because no one left to pay for it, what comes next is going to be The Stuff of Nightmares - particularly for the type of person who writes this type of document...

> don't tell me, that your instinct woudln't be to run, if out of nowhere, you saw a guy twice your size grab your car door, and another one shouting at you

I would grant this defense to a child or a person of cognitive impairment, but this is a person who obtained a driver's license, and having done so myself, I think the licensure process is fairly robust at verifying that you are not someone who drives by your first instinct.

There are a NUMBER of scenarios in driving, where your first instinct (usually "slam on the break") would result in devastating consequences for you and people around you, so people who follow their first instinct ought not to drive.

Incidentally, Saudi Arabia used to forbid all women from obtaining a driver's license, and a significant part of their justification was that they claimed women could not be expected to drive safely. So Saudis may accept your perspective, but you would probably not like their solution.

In the end, if people claim the right to be treated as adults capable of taking responsibility, then we cannot allow them to later claim immunity from consequences because they "just followed their instincts". If we did that then "instincts" would become a get-out-of-jail-free card and we would therefore live in a world with no consequence at all.

Disclaimer: This is on the question of whether driving by instinct is defensible, it is NOT related to the matter of getting shot by a cop - because being shot by a cop is not punishment, it is only legitimate as self-defense. You can potentially be shot while being 100% reasonable, because (unbeknownst to you) your actions are actually about to kill someone. If you reply something like "deserved to die" I will tap the sign.

I don't see why they even need to be in these cities. If the problem is that businesses are hiring illegals and landlords are renting to them, levy a few fines and then you'll see suddenly nobody wants anything to do with them anymore.

If the problem is fake Somali daycares, this is about just not giving out federal grants without checking for fraud.

None of this requires parading around the city, IMO the parading is mostly performative and in fact they *don't* want to do any of the actual obvious measures...

He's absolutely right, but he won't say who is at fault for the current difficulties of ordinary citizens of Russia...

Nice.
Probably could fit a cummins in that...

Is that Onion being funny?
Better frame it...

Well, H1B-Slavery is another topic. DEI hires are (AFAIK) pretty much all citizens, but my suspicion is that companies hire them in some kind of quid-pro-quo deal with the govt, so if ever that subsidy disappears, they'll all be let go the following day...

Knowing how senior management thinks, I have the feeling that all of the DEI hires are gonna be laid off the millisecond government subsidies dry up...
