In what situation would it be appropriate, legal, and approvable to burn down civilian houses in an occupied area?

I can’t think of one.

Regressives the world over are not creative. They do what they do because they believe others will do it. They’re bullies because they were bullied, and they don’t want to be the victim, so they erroneously believe that means they have to strike first.

They never stop to think, “What if the world weren’t shit? What can I do to make it better?” They accept as a fact that it is shit, and they believe the only way to come out ahead is to step on someone else.

When you get several of these people/groups pointing at each other, it becomes an infinite cycle.

Especially when you take into account that he’s currently dealing with accusations of fixing his books for preferential bank and insurance treatment.

Employers are limited in paying into 401ks for highly compensated employees, and are required to have a certain percentage of their normal employees putting money in if they want to go hog for their execs. That’s why many give matches, to incentivize folks to contribute so that they can then funnel more to the C-suite.

Your coworker is right that the lack of match makes the 401k less appealing. That said, it’s still the stock market, but you may have severely limited options.

You’ll want to do what you’re required to do, but then you should look into a ROTH IRA, which will give you a lot more control over that extra 5%.

This. If parents were being parents and letting their children know they’re loved unconditionally, then no one would need to hide what they’re feeling as they discover who they are.

Hello from kbin. It’s nice over here.

It’s usually bags of money and pallets of equipment that go “missing” and find a new home with a warlord.

They know. That’s why they hate theatre.

Why do people tap their breaks in the left lane when passing someone slower on the right?

Please stop. Tap your breaks if you’re signaling something going on in front, or if you need to slow down faster than just taking your foot off the gas will slow you.

As an American, it seems we will go all in on the most expensive and most milquetoastly adequate option every time.

Very unlikely. There’s a statement at the bottom that explains what the fee is. There’s a QR code at the top for more information, which OP cut off.

I doubt they went through the effort of updating their POS system, providing links to info on the receipt, and chose not to post a sign or put a note on the menu. Everywhere I have been with a service fee like this posts it, which would negate any legal issue.

Caveat emptor.

It’s literally what’s happening.

Texas used the same concept to empower private people to sue abortion providers and receivers under civil law since they couldn’t do it criminally.

The country as a whole has done it for a long time with cellphone data, the five eyes alliance, etc.

They have access to information they’re barred from getting directly themselves, and they get it from private companies. Spying by proxy.

Again, what good would this do if you are in a war torn country that cannot secure its elections?

So they amend their constitution. During a war. To force people into the streets to vote.

How does the government make sure the election is fair? Some people won’t be able to vote due to danger. Some will be attacked. Some areas are occupied, and the occupation lines may change during the election.

If they tried to run an election now, Russia would publish their own results showing that the occupied areas voted for Putin. Trying to run elections is hard enough in normal times, doing so with Russia literally holding a large swath of your country is impossible.

This. Pretty much every company that does business with the US or a US state has clauses in their contract about “boycotting” Israel, poorly defined on purpose.

I used quotes around that because I do not believe it.

But a bunch of idiots do, and politicians have to have some backing from those idiots, so even though everyone knows these people are shills and grifters, they have to pay lip service to the idea that they’ll do the reasonable thing, and hope that eventually cultists start dropping out and realizing they’ve been duped.

You can lead a horse to water and all that.

There’s a thought experiment about babies in a river. Do you save each baby as it floats down the river, or do you go upriver to stop them from throwing babies in?

If you choose to stay, are you enabling the baby throwers?

If you go, are you consigning all the babies that are thrown to death while you search?

It’s not black and white. There’s no good solution when bad actors are doing bad things. A coordinated response would be great, but at the same time, this is a constant problem. It’s not like Democrats haven’t been trying to get “reasonable republicans” to handle their own shit for decades. It’s not like republicans won’t have another mole pop up after this one gets whacked back into his hole.

Then again, maybe if he keeps going he will unite everyone behind the banner of “Not Gym Jordan,” which is a great service he’s able to provide us.
