He’s not honest, he’s fishing for someone to say he’s not “that” bad because he honestly believes his excuses justify his behaviour and that he’s done nothing wrong.
I'm conflicted about this. If the sharp instruments of a doctor don't count, does that mean the sharp instruments of a murderer don't? If one's arm is shattered in sharp machinery, it counts.
Why is amending the conditions of the EA the solution rather than holding those who failed to use the existing mechanisms responsible for their inaction? Amending the EA encourages both continued incompetence from lower levels of government and federal overreach.
No, choosing to drop a bomb on what you know is a functioning hospital is a war crime, no matter what else you believe it's being used for. And considering the intelligence fuckup of yesterday do you really think Israel know what buildings are being used by Hamas?
Which is, of course, why using civilians as human shields is itself a war crime because it forces an opponent to commit an abhorrent act in order to stop you. Moving on to attacking the intelligence is another debate entirely.
I’m not surprised Calgary tops the list. It has multiple cross-city roadways with minimal or no traffic signals and traffic slowdowns on all those routes are relatively predictable and comparatively brief.
This. Years clean and still experience cravings out of the blue. I don’t miss smelling like cigarettes, the persistent cough, paying hundreds a month to support the habit, but every once in a while there’s still that feeling of wouldn’t it be nice to hack a dart.
At least we’ve now become aware that Malaysia is the Afghanistan of the east. I only knew it as the country with a tall pair of towers and nice people come from there.
I mean I do feel that. It’s been a while since I lived in the region but I can’t say what political news I’ve kept up with has been particularly encouraging for either Malaysia or Indonesia for that matter.
Yeah I'm gonna need more than one guy's story too, especially when it confirms so many people's narrative. Call me when we have an actual evangelical saying themself, on the record, that they think the Sermon on the Mount is weak (but still consider themselves Christian.)
I mean if you want to add more anecdotal evidence, I’ve watched more than one evangelical church become increasingly radical as they reject more liberal teachings. You don’t have to come out and say the sermon on the mount is weak if you just stop preaching on it entirely and pretend it doesn’t exist.
Englishman parachutes into foreign culture, fails to consult locals, paternalistically and unilaterally does whatever he wants without any regard for local custom or nuance, creates mess, and ducks out on that mess to let the locals deal with the aftermath. It’s a tale as old as colonialism.
I’ll put it this way. If you’re not willing to work with local vulnerable minorities, taking into account the context that they have to live with, when making a statement then you’re not doing it for them. You’re doing it for you.
Is it though? You don’t have to respect other cultures denying human rights but you can’t deny that colonial powers have caused ridiculous amounts of intended and unintended damage to colonized cultures globally by knee-jerk imposing their ideals without taking the time to work within local context. Oh, and then when local concerns by vulnerable groups that could be potentially affected negatively are brought forward they’re met with a paternalistic “we know best.” Sound familiar?
It makes no sense to me because those regions are subsidized, not a huge chance for separatism without anarchy and in that case Russia could just swoop back in.
This assumes a Russia strong enough at the end of all this to buy loyalty, maintain political unity, and a operate a cohesive military. I don’t think that’s guaranteed.
They do, but that hasn’t guaranteed territorial integrity in the past. For what it’s worth I also don’t see sanctions lifting if they continue go that route again.
I wonder if regina and Winnipeg have decent transit though. Because it literally takes me 4 hours to get anywhere in Calgary that isn't my neighbourhood.

That sounds terrible and I'm sorry for your bad experience, but here is mine:
This has been pretty much my experience with the OLED as well.
He sounds too honest to exist.
He’s not honest, he’s fishing for someone to say he’s not “that” bad because he honestly believes his excuses justify his behaviour and that he’s done nothing wrong.

Looks like someone else is about to be expelled from paradise.
☹️
It is unfortunate that we should need an attempted murder exemption, but an exemption must be made.
I'm conflicted about this. If the sharp instruments of a doctor don't count, does that mean the sharp instruments of a murderer don't? If one's arm is shattered in sharp machinery, it counts.
I think it’s the intentional use of the instrument by another that it all hinges on. Sharp machinery has no intent.
Because the existing mechanism werent being used... This is pretty straightforward...
Why is amending the conditions of the EA the solution rather than holding those who failed to use the existing mechanisms responsible for their inaction? Amending the EA encourages both continued incompetence from lower levels of government and federal overreach.
If you think that a week is a long time....

That's a proper fart can.
That’s a whole-ass prolapse.

But bombing that hospital is still a war crime.
Sure, as long as there aren’t any military operations being conducted out of it.
No, choosing to drop a bomb on what you know is a functioning hospital is a war crime, no matter what else you believe it's being used for. And considering the intelligence fuckup of yesterday do you really think Israel know what buildings are being used by Hamas?

It’s Kenough.
They did nazi that coming.
Once you’re hooked, you’re hooked for life. Even when you quit. Wish I’d knew better back in the days.

Slow your roll there. Malaysia isn’t even the Afghanistan of SEA.
We're slowly turning into one.
I mean I do feel that. It’s been a while since I lived in the region but I can’t say what political news I’ve kept up with has been particularly encouraging for either Malaysia or Indonesia for that matter.

Yeah! We should respect them denying human rights because it’s part of their culture!
I’ll put it this way. If you’re not willing to work with local vulnerable minorities, taking into account the context that they have to live with, when making a statement then you’re not doing it for them. You’re doing it for you.

That's pretty much a guarantee, Russia always comes under a strongman dictatorship regardless of what happens.
They do, but that hasn’t guaranteed territorial integrity in the past. For what it’s worth I also don’t see sanctions lifting if they continue go that route again.
Star Wars: The Old Republic—Sith Warrior class story is exactly what you described lmao. Sith Inquisitor story too, to some extent.
Was coming here to post exactly this. You can be such a dick and it is glorious.
I wonder if regina and Winnipeg have decent transit though. Because it literally takes me 4 hours to get anywhere in Calgary that isn't my neighbourhood.
Having used transit in Winnipeg, the answer is no.
