It’s classic attention-sneezing behaviour.

7 would be unusual, 4-6 seems normal

If a Taliban victory was inevitable, this is yeah totally true. The “rip off the bandaid” approach.

The question of how long it takes to peacefully handover power in a colony is an interesting one. It can be an absurd amount of time, may never be 100%, or it may never be peaceful, if resentment persists. I think it is possible, but we may differ there.

It’s certainly hard to justify the long-term cost to American life, expenditure, energy and focus to attempt beneficial cultural change on the other side of the world.

Unsurprisingly perhaps, some things are actually better in Afghanistan, since 2021. Definite evidence that war is in fact, worse, generally, than even a very dickish government. Looking at the data, I might come down on your side, it’s tough.

I’m bullish on open borders. Not lack of sovereignty, and all fully documented. But if people are emigrating/immigrating “illegally”, there’s only one real solution. Tightening borders only benefits the well-off and slavers. Poor people are well aware it is possible to be poor in an MEDC. And mostly colder.

I think we can all agree destruction of the environment is bad. Has it or the incentives gotten any better since, or was it optimistic?

They don’t even have to sell it, company valuation increases alone are evidence of piracy

The trouble is, if all the considerate people who don’t want kids don’t have kids, the only people left will be the kids of the kids that did want kids.

Probably being an absolutist instead of considering case-by-case leaves room for criticism.

In your example, Biden pulling out of Afghanistan. Was it wrong to intervene in the first place, probably? But pulling out at that point caused the deaths of western allies and handed victory to the Taliban, causing millions to suffer eg. women can’t get jobs and single-mother families starve to death… and it was entirely foreseeable.

I would argue that Humanitarian Intervention should be excluded, and certain UN-led actions (although the bureaucracy has certainly led to interventions occurring after mass deaths, unfortunately).

Not at all, if your weren’t trolling, I hope your found those points helpful in describing the benefits of visibility.

One of the things I missed out was government accountability, where police departments have historically labelled these as isolated incidents, because the big picture is pretty sickening.

I hesitated whether to engage because your use of the word “completely” labels you a troll. You also put “bringing awareness” in quotes instead of using the word visibility, presumably to belittle the concept.

Visibility helps collect and track data, drive policy, reveal patterns, support victims and survivors, improve early intervention and prevention, and, hopefully, eventually, shift cultural attitudes.

But you could get that from Google if you gaf.

No

These comments seem to be full of the same people who misunderstand that the word “racism” describes a massive cultural and societal issue that affects people in large, hidden ways throughout their life, rather than using bad words.

If they had a problem in Italy of men being murdered for not being obedient, it might be worth considering broadening the scope of this classification.

This does not even target the perpetrators as a class (even though we can probably guess a general demographic), just classifies the crime according to what has happened to the victim, and why. This is the same for all hate crimes that are prevalent enough to warrant it. Imo it is the culture and society that makes it a hate crime, not just the intent.

I think that penalty is a hate crime. But you’re correct.

I see a lot of solo posters in this thread, unfortunately we only allow group posters after the watershed, sorry gtfo

Well maybe this will decrease American influence.

Can we do the same for the UN? World bank? IMF?

I still miss Nier: Reincarnation.

• Gacha with a non-screaming interface
• Great plot as per

• Strangely not boring
• Ephemeral is a Yoko theme (it gone)
• Never paid anything and completed it
• Maybe why gone

Poor robo! But the guy. With the sheet. I died.

We’ve seen everything. We’ve seen it all.

It feels like “snaked” to “snook” but you haven’t book a cake. I say that but now I’m imagining it arriving right on time

Oh right so the delay was caused by them firing devs for wanting a pay rise. “Quality” fuck off

Yes I recommend you handcuff yourself immediately, maybe tie yourself up a bit, you’ve been pretty naughty
