Why would Joe Biden do this?

This panic again? This shit is weird at best

Technically it’s correct, any breed of dog can maul a child to death, and every dog has some trigger which will cause them to bite. But you really can’t argue with the epidemiology here. Pitbulls definitely kill an inordinate amount of children and pets.

Anal sex?

This story is fucking wild. They cancelled the visa and then immediately arrested them. Not deported, not even given time to buy a ticket out of the country. Just declared illegal and put in prison for something a relative did.

Do flights from Thailand to Mumbai not have x-ray screenings for baggage, or is this a very weird bribery situation? I know some places only have metal detectors for people, but I have not seen any airport which doesn’t scan baggage.

Right I don’t care about protecting your back yard chickens I care about sleeping in on the weekends

You can apply for asylum in an embassy and receive travel documents if approved. Either Russia or Ecuador could also have just put him on a diplomatic flight. Edward Snowden is not the first person who needed to cross hostile borders to claim asylum. The simple fact of the matter is that he either chose not to do so, or was not allowed to do so.

You don’t need a passport to claim asylum. The whole story reeks tbh. He stayed in Russia because he wasn’t allowed to leave. Or because he was a Russian agent. But there are many diplomatic avenues to get from one sympathetic country to another for a legitimate asylum claim.

Change the filibuster to be number of majority seats, plus 2, or 60, whichever is less. Or something along those lines. The 60 vote threshold creates disincentive for crossing the aisle because it gives the statistical extremists the most power. Meanwhile, requiring some opposition support but not an outrageous amount removes a ton of barriers which produce legislative gridlock.

I mean if gen Z men are a big fascist majority, when does it start being a class war?

I’ll admit I am pretty fucking annoyed by how much fash sympathy there is in gen Z. We were so close to actually being able to make a pretty big political swing to the left swing and they kind of fucked it up in the worst way possible.

As an engineer this is extremely offensive. MATLAB is for fucking tryhards.

That’s cool Europe probably doesn’t need bees anyway.

Yeah it definitely won’t be the Russian invaders who drag us all into a war.

Fuck all the way off with this “stop struggling or this rape will turn into a murder” shit.

This is definitely a great example of individuals being obstinate and entitled. Just mention you support speed cameras on all roads and find out how many of your friends think speeding is a good given human rights.

Can you imagine if Joe Biden said shit like “I’m going to make your pleb shit more expensive because I refuse to just admit a mistake and therefore will double down on my bad policy.”

My assumption was, and still remains that it was a confused abortion zealot.
