I agree, but potentially rescuing a child from abuse, to me, is worth the low risk. Inaction is complacency.
You're making the assumption that there's a 100% chance that they will get shot. Cops suck, but they don't shoot 100% of the time.
I thought I saw or read that their special forces were using snorkels to sneak in the water. I know that doesn't answer your question, but I wanted to pile on a little.
It's negotiating 101. Open with the hoop dream so the next option isn't near as bad. If you get your first option, you win, and if you get the second option, you win a little less.
Sounds like OP did neither. While I dont trust cops at all, statistically, it would have been better to make the call because they more often than not don't shoot people. And actually, yes, bullets would solve the child abuse problem, just not in a way anybody would want. Can't abuse a child if you're dead.
I'd absolutely roll the dice for the child's safety over the piece of shit parents life.
It sounds like there was child abuse happening. Imo, you made a mistake not calling the police.
The majority of deaths in Afghanistan were not civilians, although a large chunk was.
Idk how different cat hair is from dog hair, but we have a Rottweiler and a German shepherd husky mix, and we vacuum daily. We have a Roomba that we don't really use anymore, but it filled up daily with dog hair. Very little loose hair in the house now.
I kind of figured that's how this process worked, and I'm glad you mentioned it. Now I really hope that you're right and that there's no way around it.
Now supply a whole shit load of long range missiles before January.
Biden > Trump, bad mental health or not.
You should have told him to pull over to let you out, not paid him, and reported him. Bonus points to have recorded evidence first.
Assholes like this, regardless of their current situation, hard times or not, should not be allowed to continue doing this. If I go into work, and push code into production without reviews and approvals, I lose my job or at least get reprimanded. Nothing excuses the behavior you've described.
No. It takes a truly shallow mind to come to this conclusion. Most of us Democrats understand how politics work and knew it was Trump or Harris once Biden stepped down. That's it, no third option. Only a true idiot or a Trump supporter (same thing) would think not voting, voting this party, it voting for Trump was in anyway better for Israel, Ukraine, and America.
Yea. You don't get to charge for the service and push ads. It's an either or situation. To do both is an immediate disqualifier for me. I already pirate what I want from Prime, even being a member as well. If Youtube premium starts doing ads, I will drop that, return to music piracy or find an alternative less shitty music service, and find a different front end for YT to still get to my subscriptions without ads. I have a sub for the music, but stay for the YT.
Yea, because it was definitely the liberals that elected Trump. Harris was not the best option, but any moron that thought not voting for her was the best option this past election, and is now pissing and moaning about Trump winning, are arguably dumber than Trump supporters.
Are you talking about that guy that is almost as well known for biting off Hollyfield's ear as he is for his boxing prowess losing dignity from making 20 millions dollars playing the sport that he loves regardless of the effort?
I'm really excited about the budding relationship between Steam and Arch. The Steamdeck has already been invaluable in adoption and progression, and now their serious. The future appears bright here.
I'm thinking at this point he can't un-ring that bell. Maybe he has a stroke and pulls a reverse Fetterman, or better yet, has a stroke and pulls a Winston Churchill.
Yea, lots of things did happen, and most of them were bad. The people that I'm referring to that "could change" things are the republicans that could use their votes to stop tyranny, but none of them did.
I hope that you're correct that we will see change from this, but I don't agree with you that Musk is going to fade into political irrelevance and that JD will sunset Trump.
