Cool that 3,000 people dying left a deep scar on the American psyche and has allowed Republicans to dominate our government for 20 years, but 1,200,000 deaths would be nbd.

How do you write that sentence and not immediately go "oh poo poo, I have obviously been scammed and need to cut my losses right now"? Like, you hear about people who spend huge amounts on mobile games or whatever, but it's all in small increments and it never tallies up how much they've spent in total because most of the time when they see the full amount they immediately realise that it's way more than they thought and stop. But this guy? He knows, down to the dollar, how much he's spent on this non-existent video game and he's still all in?

apparently the chuddieness is a result of the no friends, and the lack of friends is because his money has just made him paranoid. He has nothing in common with other rich people, and doesn't trust anyone who isn't rich to not just act like his friend to get to his money

sadly, by becoming so nasty about he, he guaranteed neither thing will ever change

What the hell is this (I assume) dude going on about? I've driven a car literally half my life and the only time I got into an "accident" is when I accidentally steered into a pole while getting out of a tricky parking spot.

He's had a ton of ND's so he's a bad gun owner. But he won't admit he's a bad gun owner because that would be destructive to his ego and might lead him down trains of thought that end at "The 2nd Amendment isn't God's Holy Writ". So instead, he invents a reality where akshually repeatedly murdering his drywall makes him the best gun owner.

"Yes, little Johnny, I accidentally discharged my weapon into your mother's skull. But think how many fewer mental safety blocks she has now."

Hilariously, Roosh is the progenitor of a lot of PUA garbage. When hbomberguy did a video on them, he noted that weirdly, Roosh actually seemed kind of repulsed at the idea of having sex with women, or just sex in general.

What I'm saying is that Roosh is a psychologist's PhD thesis waiting to happen.

I've always been pro abortion because it's how I was raised, but the thing that really drove it home was pointing out that if siblings are in a car accident or whatever and one is fine and the other needs a blood transfusion to live you can't take blood from one to save the other without their permission.

The thought experiment about saving one baby versus thirty fertilized embryos is a good one too.

Sure, and Meatloaf has been singing about been a teenager for more than 40 years now, Johnny Cash never went to prison and I have it on good authority that the cartoons in fact never even spoke to a witch doctor, let alone about their feelings for me.

So this made me :stare: early this am. Red is a local paramedic, has been for a *LONG* time. Blue is a medical doctor and the county medical director for the fire/rescue service. Basically, he's the doctor that writes all the protocols (the stuff that paramedics are allowed to do, ie intubation, medication administration, etc.), runs the training, and is THE doctor that all paramedics and EMT's have to answer to if something happens in the back of the truck and you gently caress up. Lots of times where I'm at, a doctor will be the medical director for multiple agencies and counties; and let me tell you, that doctor always knows their poo poo backwards and forwards. So imagine my surprise when I read this foolishness




Just..... imagine having the loving balls to say that poo poo to someone who could end your entire career with one phone call. :stare: Incredible.

:psyduck:

At the EMS company I work for, we treat the medical directors with more respect than the CEO. How the gently caress did he think this was a good idea.
