You say that but most cops still will go their whole career without firing their gun statistically.

Plus hand guns are crazy hard to aim over any distance

I know some people in that industry though in Europe. Legalisation is like game over for them. They move on to other countries.

Seriously what do you imagine they will pivot to that will have even a fraction of the income?

Dude it's 90% of their income - of course it will hit them. They won't disappear but believe me legalisation is the biggest thing they fear.

Is this an ad?

Ever hear about medal of honour winners killing 12 people with 5 bullets in them? Bullets aren't always show stoppers

Add some meth or fentanyl to the mix and it's sadly pretty much zombie rules to put them down.

Anyone have any idea why a kleptoctracy like South Africa is jumping in here?

It's not like they blinked an eye when Russia invaded Ukraine and shipped off their kids. Far bigger conflict too. Not to mention a dozen African genocides.

Cartels gone overnight. Handle addiction as a medical problem. With legal MDMA, mushrooms, weed and acid, the hard stuff isn't going to be anywhere near as big an issue as it is currently.

Wow Harvard has a lot of money and a good PR team. They're managing to somehow switch the conversation so it's somehow no longer about someone plagiarizing their entire career.

This is not a left or right issue.

Lana is that you?

Fingers crossed!

I'm just going to say it...Alaqua Cox would make a great bond girl name

Well Google works but just because I care here's a link to some other examples of clear plagiarism you will find an excuse to ignore.

"But her papers sometimes lift passages verbatim from other scholars and at other times make minor adjustments, like changing the word “adage” to “popular saying” or “Black male children” to “young black athletes.” - New York Times

I always figured Iran or other neighbours were supplying Hamas but it turns out they were building their own (probably in addition).

It's a head scratcher. We may never know for sure but my money is oddly on the US blowing up the pipeline.

• Cuts back Russian oil dependence
• Lowers Russian income
• Easy deniability
• Opportunity - has subs in the area

Dude whatever you heard is wrong. She directly copied stuff.

She was so blatant or lazy she copied the acknowledgement sections.

She got caught blatantly plagiarizing her small body of research. That she is still faculty at Harvard is a disgrace.

It's a fair analogy to obscure some complexity.

Got a better one?

Definitely 👍

You can. This is not one of them
