I thought we say: we need more flesh for the prison-industrial complex.

Although, sentence length doesn’t seem to be correlated to deterrence, that doesn’t mean the inevitability of imprisonment isn’t a legitimate deterrent at all. For example, the belief that there’s a high likelihood of getting caught does increase deterrence.

It’s kinda ironic that you have to drive slower because you’re half blind, which will end up in the trucknuts enjoyer being slowed as well.

Hypothetically, is there a specific number of billionaires that would have to be executed to have some sort of impact? IMO, even if the rich have just a little incentive not to be the most egregious profiteers, it’ll make some impact.

I missed Technician’s comment, so it took me a second, but yes, much better.

It’s almost like the same people who own the mainstream media will also profit from a Trump presidency.

Whoa there, just because my God is a giant ball of spaghetti, who touches us all with Their noodley appendage, doesn’t mean They’re not God. It’s only the stinky atheists who don’t have a real religion. Well, maybe the agnostics too, but I’m not sure.

My pasta themed X-mas decorations stay.

I’m Spartacus!

That’s a good question. I could see that there might be a lot of downward pressure to find this guy and make an example of him. Maybe they were just happy to find a patsy to take some of the pressure off.

I remember when I was a fledgling vegan, and still like “I accept the ethics of veganism, but PETA still sucks.” Then I started looking at what they actually do, their track record, and what they get criticised for, and it completely changed my perspective.

Yeah, r/vegan was almost more of an outreach community, even though that wasn’t technically supposed to be true.

It’s even tagged as zettai ryouiki, when most of the examples are absurdly off from the correct ratio. To quote wikipedia:

The ideal zettai ryōiki ratio for the length of the miniskirt, the exposed portion of thigh, and the over-knee part of the socks is 4:1:2.5, with a tolerance of 25%.[3][4][5] The ratio has also been referred to as a golden ratio (黄金比, ōgonhi) among fans.[6]

Disappointed!!

I love how you’ve set up a false dichotomy to complain about lack of nuance.

Also, since there will be a bit of oil splattering, make sure to quickly secure your lid with clamps. Hope you have a blast!

I was at a sit down recently where the lowest tip selectable without entering a dollar amount was 18%. 10% used to be the standard for competent service, 15%-20% for outstanding service. Now the quality of service is worse because they’re underataffed, and they expect me to tip more?? Get real.

I will save some fetid rotten tomatoes from the compost as a gift if these asshats ever come to my neck of town.

Some people have to learn to pull themselves up by their bootstraps! Isn’t that the conservative way? Bootstraps, Giuliani, bootstraps!

This is why I have trouble trusting restaurants that aren’t fully vegan. To them, veganism isn’t about ethics, it’s about marketing.

What have you done!?

^^…would, ^^though

Word of the year? OK, well, you’re about a few years late, but better late than never I suppose.
