"I'm really not here to represent any candidate," Paterson said.
"I'm just here to villify the one who actually won the fucking primary because fuck democracy, y'all. We own your asses, we call the shots, and like hell are we gonna let you people change that!"
We literally cannot have even one nice thing in this country. You best start believin' in cyberpunk dystopias... because you're in one.
Damn it Seven is such a classic film. Best film of the late 20th century.
Or maybe more people are really that stupid and easily entertained than we would like to admit.
Yet insurance for theft exists because it continues to be a thing that happens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m sorry but I’m not even going to pretend to be sorry about a pickpocket targeting normal people getting his (or her) ass beaten.
What about American tourists in a foreign nation that has been historically violently repressed via the American Military and economic shock treatment by American institutions? Those American tourists enabled their government and businesses to do that, via their votes and their labor for said businesses. In this respect they are not just "regular people" in a place like Mexico, Chile, Iran, Iraq, and so on.
I'm not assigning blame here, I'm just talking about the cold, hard reality of what actually happened.
Gosh I guess that means we should get rid of insurance for things like natural disasters, too, since often your home is unrecoverable in the event of a hurricane, volcano, or some other event with no recourse.
Lmao
As do I. Sometimes the bullies genuinely have the upper hand. Like the Nazis versus the people in their concentration camps. Fighting back just lead to more violent retribution against those who were already being mistreated. You can't magic your way into suddenly winning a losing battle. It's absurdity after absurdity in here.
This assumes that you can do it perfectly every time, not that you'll sometimes be outclassed by someone who is actually in shape, actually faster than you, or has better control over their motor skills and can dodge or jump to escape you. Your little anecdote about the one time you tackled someone without breaking your body trying to do it doesn't prove anything.

I dunno man plenty of science shows that being put to death does basically fuck-all to prevent other people from committing the same kind of crimes. You can hide behind the hope that they're cowards all you want, but that's still leaning on assumptions.
It feels like it's the other way around, from my end. Natural disasters don't stop happening, and crime doesn't stop happening, ergo, having insurance for both is reasonable.
