Alright.

Good man.

Uh… Taiwan is stopping them. Taiwan is a country, despite China’s constant fucking attempts to pretend it isn’t.

a gun costs more than a ps5

Not in civilised countries it doesn’t.

The fuck you talking about nuance when you just generalised literally every state there is?

Don’t forget your “/s”, please.

You’d be surprised how necessary it is.

Why the need to specify “duplicitous”?

Depends on the lottery and the number of lines you play, but yeah, that is true for what we’d consider a “proper” lottery win I think. Thanks for making the point even better.

The odds of winning Powerball with a single bet are 1 in 292201338=C(69,5)*26. The odds of dying in a plane cash are 1 in 11,000,000 The Odds Of A Plane Crash Are One In 11 Million, Yet You’re Still Afraid.

And this:

You might think it is reasonable to believe it has become dangerous to fly after you hear about a passenger plane crashing in the media. You might think, “That’s it. Flying is definitely dangerous.” But I will counter that logic with the observation that we hear about people winning the lottery on a regular basis and we don’t suddenly conclude in response “Hurray. Winning the lottery is now within my grasp.”

So don’t get thrown off balance when you hear about a plane crash. Your odds of dying in a crash still remain in five million.

Huh makes the exact same point I make, just better phrased and more helpful.

When you read about some length winning the lottery, do you run out to buy tickets?

Air travel is still by far the safest.

You’re way more likely to be suffer gross dismemberment on your commute or shopping trip than you are on a flight.

I can see how you would think that, reasonably, but you’re wrong.

About my mom at least.

You don’t want to believers someone can have an uncaring mother, because you want to live in a world where all moms love theirs children.

They don’t.

I’m not even 25% of my mom’s kids, technically.

Once you understand the general concept of amathia, you will see it everywhere as well.

Perhaps not, but who knows about Putin’s values.

Russians used to respect the UK at least.

And, well, technically, Charles III is the had of the Commonwealth of Nations despite it being just symbolic. That’s a third of the population or the world.

The plane, en route from Baku to Grozny, crashed in Kazakhstan amid Russian air defense activity.

The lengths people will go to avoid saying “shot down”.

Yeah, that’s sort of it.

But then any pleading from the victim will only make it worse, as it will just stack more blame on them no matter what they say, since the person they’re explaining it to can not accept what they’re being told.

Because it is every single fucking one.

Yep. None of them are on the side of justice. They’re just on their side and if you question it you might be treated as a rat by the other police.

Pretty much the same happened to me except there was evidenced and it didn’t matter jack shit.

My mom had the exact same reaction when I was abused by the cops.

Basically saying I must have done something to deserve it.

ACAB idd.

But some people would rather believe that cops are always innocent than trusting what their children are saying. Fucks with my head so hard

Will North Korea even buy this?

It could easily be faked. That’s what I’d do the North Koreans if you get them alive; put their minds at ease for their families back home by publicising the “death” of the soldier so there’s less chance of reprisals.

But more likely it’s just the NK actually do believe their propagandaa so…

Oh these fuckers.

So now the horribly expensive games with micro transactions isn’t enough for them? Well of course.

Nothing is ever enough for them.

Fucking are we gonna have to do a violent armed socialist revolution just to checks notes keep having graphics in games we have to pay an arm and a leg for?

Yeah. Isn’t it sad they buy into what ever shit is telling them it’d be the worst for them?
