This is how I know you’re a troll:

My point is that Russia has been and is entirely capable of waging that same kind of brutal, truly monstrous Western military campaign. They have chosen not to for a variety of reasons

The Russians have been conducting absolutely horrifying crimes against humanity since the start of the war and, in fact, at least since World War 2. There is so much rape and torture embedded in the way that the Russian military operates that killing civilians, which is unconscionable and horrifying, is the least of their crimes.

The Russians could leave Ukraine today and the war would be over. Full stop. There is no justification for anything else.

That’s obviously Reagan in a wig.

Who dug him up this time?

They were in the Eurovision this year (and unfortunately came last) but the Norwegian band Gåte. Their songs Skarvene and Hamløypar are two of my favorites, and Bannlyst is also fantastic.

I think the idea is that the play order for the entire playlist is shuffled on each loop, so you play all songs in one order, then it shuffles, and you play all songs again but in a different order.

I think part of it is a fundamental weakness in the Swedish judicial system where you need clear perpetrators and clear victims, meaning that if you have a group of people committing a crime and you can’t prove that they intentionally cooperated to commit the criminal act or who did exactly what, they may go free (exhibit A). The same goes if you can prove the crime but not the victims (exhibit B).

Of course the bar is higher when it comes to the police, they will pull out all the stops to prevent one of their own getting investigated, but this issue runs even deeper.

Meat?

It’s not in an environment, it’s been towed beyond the environment.

No country with allies is independent anymore, 99.9% of the world in shambles.

My go-to song for turning into a sobbing mess on the floor is Sting (feat. Ray Chen) - What Could Have Been. Hits very hard.

Excuse me, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, Tzeentch?

Yes, and a force acting in the opposite direction of the distance is an attractive force.

But those are the same thing.

If they are oppositely charged particles, I would expect that there is a force of attraction acting on them, yes.

What are the “far greater social costs” of cannabis compared to tobacco?

Every US president would have accepted it, most heads of state of any country in the world throughout history would have accepted it.

I’m sure wanting to shoot black people with automatic weapons has no correlation with fascistic ideals either.

If you look at this comment, the comparison should more realistically look like this

How is that about data security/integrity?

Go back to work, Fantastic, you have a power plant to run.

Okay, I have a sneaking suspicion that it’s kind of an apocryphal reverse-explanation to counter currently all-too-common abusive behavior towards service personnel. I think it’s just an old motto that once made more sense than it does today when it’s been in use for over a hundred years.
