The correct way to sack your boss is over the head and tossed into the ocean.

Fight?

Sounds kinda consensual, id argue bathroom assault fits better.

Were the front line on the war against stupidity.

Reddit keeps your content, even if you delete or edit it. We saw this during the last protest where they reverted peoples comments back to their previous state.

The only exception is if you GDPR it.

I’ll take an anime picture over a V avatar douche.

Look at the user account, and then look at their post history where they complain trans people are going too far etc.

It was known earlier among Russians as the Northern Sea, Pomorsky Sea or Murman Sea ("Norse Sea");

So the sea is historically Norse, and as know russia is big on respecting historical owners, thus that this sea belongs to the Norsemen.

Mum says milk isn't good for cats.

Mate the bloody link you posted showed that the British had a very clear problem in trying to stop it.

It also doesnt mean you blame the police for not stationing a guy on a chair in every household for not doing enough to stop it.

The Royal Navy’s patrol was never going to stop that trade, there were never going to be enough ships. The whole Royal Navy would have found it difficult to stop this trade.

As that article points out there were countless issues in trying to stop the trade, such as the legal challenges and burden of proof across multiple countries jurisdictions, the lack of willingness from other European powers, and the fact that the worlds largest navy couldnt stop it even if they dedicated every resource towards doing so.

The US could have done more, sure, but no matter how much they did, you would still have had the trade happening and these ships would still have sunk, and you would still being saying “it’s because they didn’t do anything” instead of accepting the reality that there was no easy solution to stopping the slave trade.

And the port authorities and traders will see someone literate sitting on a chair on the dock, all day, everyday, writing in their book and watching the ships, and this will arouse zero suspicions from the criminal slave traders and who ever else “runs” the docks?

It does mean you fight them effectively, theres a reason this isn't even done today with our far superior methods and that is because its wildly impractical.

And these ports openly engaging in illegal trade would just let the US station soldiers there to track everything?

Why doesn't the US Navy station someone in every port in China where fentanyl is shipped from and have them make rounds every 30 minutes with a notepad to log every ship they see docked, they must want the drug to keep being sold in America!

Cmon its not that simple or realistic, and all it takes is one or two corrupt people to lie about what they saw and the whole thing is useless.

The question is why do we let it get out when we know its harmful or that we haven’t even looked into it despite being fully capable of.

Hows the US navy meant to know who was a slave ship to intervene and who wasnt, let alone where and when to intercept them in the 1860s?

Even today with xrays at ports, satellite tracking, and instant global communication - illegal goods are still smuggled globally.

Falling from a horse at 10mph is dangers, falling from any height is dangerous.

We knew lead was poisonous before it was put into petrol, it was chosen because GM could patent it whereas they couldn’t the already known superior additive, ethanol.

We knew about man made climate change over a hundred years ago, it was buried and suppressed for profit.

Thalidomide wasn't tested and sold freely.

Heroine was a good drug for many uses, lack of regulation and care about addiction was the problem. Even today many medications can have adverse effects or cause addiction if not properly used.

These things have nothing to do with the speed of advancement and all to do with deliberate failures. You can advance rapidly and still test and regulate, but obviously thats less likely in a capitalist system that values money over everything.

The core concept and idea of reddit can be found in other places, such as right here. And without the corporate decisions ruining it.

There is no such thing as too quickly. People went from shitting in wooden outhouses with no electricity to man landing on the moon and harnessing the power of atoms in one life time, things have slowed down considerably since.

And you don't have to get a brain implant, nor will such a thing realistically even be available for decades still.

Down syndrome or Down's syndrome,

So yes, thanks.
