I wouldn't want biological kids, but I don't mind the possibility of adopting.

Oh lord 😭

That’s really interesting. But what do you mean ‘was’, did she pass away?

Holy moly what did I read. Things like this make me feel extremely grateful to be a Canadian.

You just said it… it’s an analogy. Not a direct 1:1 comparison. An analogy is something that has some sort of likeness, not necessarily total likeness. His analogy was perfect for what he wanted to convey, you’re just over analyzing it.

One of the realest. Rest in peace Mr. Carter.

This is what psychopaths do. They think they're smart enough to pull the wool over people's eyes and will feign remorse. One of the parents who knew the columbine shooters well described one of them doing this exact thing when caught, saying and expressing things he knew people wanted to hear and see. So disgusting. In this case, I'm glad they were able to humiliate this guy by having the recorded phone call where he says he's going to put on this fake display of remorse.

Great insight.

This is a good point. Math is a language, so its application to problems expressed linguistically has to be coherent if it’s a coherent language. Otherwise what are you expressing. You’d have this mess.

I don't think so. The amount of sperm from a single ejaculation is like hundreds of millions. As long you have good sperm quality like Basman said, I'm guessing that's good enough of a donation to impregnate a female?

I have a feeling you’d be good at writing raps. If you don’t mind sharing a freestyle I’d be more than eager to read it.

Interesting read. How do you do young croc?

I had to relearn this lesson the hard way: some people really are bad apples and you can’t change that about them. Psychopaths, sociopaths, all these type of anti-social personality disorders are out there and you need to be cognizant of that and not give them an opportunity to hurt you by being naive.

I am 🤣

How is it not a real nation and "should not exist". It's 157 years old. That's a lot of nation building and development. That's as real as it gets especially considering the modern nation-state is a fairly new concept. You can't just hand-wave all of that away. But anyways, this argument is really peculiar given the fact that the United States of America is way more varied within it's borders. I've heard many Americans saying going from this state to that state etc is like going to a whole new country. Florida, for instance, has been described to me by Americans from other states as something that can be described as it's own country. Is America also not a real country now and shouldn't exist? If so, then why should it decide that Canada should be absorbed by it? -
This one is heart-breaking, son attacks man who r*ped and then strangled his mother to death in courtroom.

Why not shoot him in the thighs? He can't move then and it doesn't cost him his life?

@Nivsch There's a lot of errors in your chatgpt prompt. In Iraq for example, a lot of civilian deaths were from the anarchy, trauma, and sectarian hysteria that ensued. Suicide bombings alone account for 20-40% of civilian deaths, according to the same AI you used. That's not even taking into account roadside bombs. For afghanistan you have to account for these things too, and according to the same AI you used, roadside and suicide bombing accounts for 50-60% of civilian deaths. It also didn't account for the indirect deaths from sanctions, decreased infrastructure and resources for basic needs, care, increased poverty, and all these other sorts of things. Which raises the death toll and accounts for a lot of preventable deaths. Which is another thing that can be compared, and one where the U.S. did terribly in. -

Israelis raped Palestinian women during the expulsions in 1948, one good case of this is the rape of a teenage girl during the Tantura massacre. Elsewhere there was also more rounding up of Palestinian civilians and shooting them execution style while they were lined up face towards the wall and hands on the wall. There are IDF records that serve as evidence that Ben Gurion made an attempt to cover up all the atrocities that the IDF were committing. Israel also tried to do a terrorist false flag in Egypt in the 50s, targeting civilians in theaters, etc., planting bombs to kill them in order to blame it on Islamists and get America to reconsider its foreign policy at the time. In 2005, the plotters were awarded certificates of appreciation by the Israeli government. Is this a good treatment of Israel to you? -

Obviously they don’t care for your identity and didn’t welcome you when again, in order to create a Jewish state you have to expel them, otherwise they as the majority would just elect a Palestinian leader in perpetuity indefinitely and that would defeat the idea of a Jewish state. Why should they care about welcoming you when it means their expulsion. -

This is so incredibly dishonest. Building a democratic country that is for you means that Palestinians cannot be the majority or else the country no longer becomes yours when they elect a Palestinian leader in perpetuity indefinitely. It obviously meant expulsion of the Arabs and the Arabs knew this on a conscious level. But I guess they should’ve just played ball against their injustice. You are not serious. -
Cultural differences for sure. Individualism vs Collectivism produces different levels of conformity. Plenty of other factors as well. More authoritarian and corrupt a government is, the bigger the punishment for lack of conformity too.

In order to become the prime minister of Canada, you pretty much have to know how to speak French fluently. I don't know why this is a thing, but in Canada you can't expect to win if you don't know it. It's like an unwritten expectation. For people who aren't familiar with Canada, they don't realize this is not a liberal exclusive thing. Even Steven Harper, the conservative prime minister before Trudeau, spoke French out of respect (or appeasement if you want to call it that) for French Canadians. This is just a politically correct thing that both sides have adhered to in the past decades, kind of like how being pro-Israel is the politically correct thing expected from a serious American presidential candidate regardless of their political leaning.

After much flirting from the detained female, officer turns off his body cam and goes to the back seat where it gets freaky—just one thing, he locks himself in with her without a way to get out afterwards 💀.
