When you have an unflushable turd, you need a plumber ;)

I dunno man, they seem to hyperfixate on the death penalty and "law and order" a little too much.

They probably see it as a good thing. Another dirty crook off the face of the Earth.

Aye. My personal take is that both must be condemned as horrific. The Youtuber is wrong to call it "just a symbol". I didn't see any discussion of the $8 billion in arms anywhere though, which struck me as bizarre. Perhaps it is just due to a filter bubble.

The Youtuber voting for the Green Party of all things was certainly dumb as hell.

The Collinses married after Malcolm proposed on Reddit in 2013.

I never thought I would live to see the day when ranked competitive racism made its triumphant return

Let's find a nasty slimy ugly alien to fear

Rot in piss

Holy shit they made SCP-2875 a real thing

No, they're Rottweilers.

I cared before too. There is a difference between passively engaging in BDS and pouring your heart and soul into a movement.

Edit: I felt the need to elaborate.

For a very long time I followed the boycott and donated what I could. Genocide is atrocious, but what else could I do? I lived in the middle of bumfuck nowhere; There weren't exactly any movements nearby I could get involved in.

I then saw a man from bumfuck nowhere drive all the way to the Israeli Embassy and burn himself alive. I realised there was a whole lot of things I could do.

I also moved to Ireland, so I got a lot more opportunities to act on my sentiments.

I remember. That shit shook me for weeks. Sometimes I still think of his burning body.

Burning yourself won't stop Israel, sure. But it gets people involved. It got me involved.

Keep Alberta rat-free

My old family home got burgled back in high school. Some things of value were stolen, though luckily nothing sentimental.

What was worth more than the stolen money was that I no longer felt safe in my own home. I couldn't sleep well for a long time after that. I felt like I was sleeping out in the open. Sometimes I would hear a noise and jolt up and spend a whole hour trying to see if I could spot something weird on the camera feed (we installed CCTV).

Good on the media for using the active voice for once

Freud getting praised by everyone but actual psychologists always baffled me. Imagine if politicos started backing up their points with references to luminiferous ether.

Protectionism only really makes sense if you're a country without native industrial capacities and trying to industrialise. Even that is debatable.

Russia used to be a major world power with highly developed heavy industry and okay-ish light industry. A lot of that has been poorly maintained since the fall of the USSR but the factories are still there. Protectionism makes little sense here.

Ireland too :(

Article says the rebels going in are Islamists. Sadly, I don't think life will get much better in Syria and will definitely worsen in Kurdistan.
