Never take any risks to improve the world, that’s how things are gonna get better!

IT’S NOT OKAY DAD!

Yeah, “simple” does not mean “easy” or even “doable” in this case.

We used to say “Polack” but only in a derogatory way because people arw terrible.

Simple solution there is to replace long-haul trucks with rail freight and use cabovers, box trucks, and sprinter vans to connect train depots to retailers and “last mile” delivery hubs. We could do with broad re-zoning to allow smaller shops rather than centralize everything into giant all-in-one grocery stores and mini malls as well but that’s not an entirely connected issue.

Morally wrong, no. Tactically he made enough errors to get himself killed.

I don’t care about “mercy” I just want them removed from the world as efficiently as possible.

Frogs and archerfish and chameleons and such have evolved to do that one thing, it’s more like a preprogrammed algorithm than spacial awareness. And they miss a fair amount if you sit and watch them, that just doesn’t make the Animal Planet highlight reel.

Speaking of highlight reels, that kind of confirmation bias also applies to poop-slinging monkeys. They literally don’t have the musculature for fine control, they just throw a lot of shit.

Nobody is using these for crimes and that’s why they’ve skated past regulation for so long. If brown people started carrying flintlock pistols for self-defense rhere would be legislation drafted within the week.

Patriotism necessitates seeing other nations as somehow less-than, it is an exclusionary and othering mindset that inevitably leads to bigotry. Borders are fake and shouldn’t be celebrated.

Regional pride isn’t as bad as long as there aren’t significant barriers for association. Loving a local food or art scene, or preferring a particular environment or set of social norms, is generally harmless but people still find ways to fight about it.

Black powder weapons typically aren’t subject to the same laws as cartridge-based firearms.

Worst of all worlds, I’d rather just have a 5 inch fixed blade. Or a stick.

Long live the memory of Negro Matapacos, greatest of allies. (Loukanikos was also a very good boy)

Non-avian reptiles have very little going on in there with very few exceptions. Dogs, some corvids, some parrots, pigs, cetaceans, apes, maybe octopuses, and probably more but that’s the spread that comes to mind: I can see “personhood” being applied. I love animals but I’m drawing a line and the average cat isn’t on the same side as me and they’re well above average in terms of reasoning and emotional capacity. Something can have personality without being a person.

Some do, many don’t. Humans are actually really graceful compared to most animals and intuitively do very complex things in space. Tossing a paper ball into a garbage can from ten feet away is an almost uniquely human ability. You ever see a dog try to fit a long stick through a narrow door? Their ability to judge relative sizes and distance is terrible, comparatively.

Absolutely not, patriotism is just fancy nationalist cancer and “True American” messaging is a whisper away from anti-immigrant xenophobia.

Sure, but that sounds clumsier and hides the meaning of the statement at the end which isn’t usually how English speakers talk. It may be a less complicated translation but it isn’t a better one.

Cars a combination of all kinds of shit. Rivets, welds, adhesive, clips, you name it. Aluminum frame cars use more adhesive. High-end applications where the heat of welding can cause dangerous warping also is a factor. The Lotus Elise, for example, uses adhesive rather than welds. Bolts or rivets put holes in things and that’s not always tolerable.

Lots of stuff on cars is glued. Your windshield, for one. The difference is correctly applying the appropriate adhesive.

Yeah something like the Oblivion Crisis would be tough on the commoners. But if I could just chill in Vivec City or even Whiterun for most of history it’s pretty safe.
