The "allowed" aspect that you're ignoring is about punishment. Some walkouts are punished while others aren't, based on ideology.

You recall incorrectly, as he was using that example in the bible as to why you don't follow a literal interpretation.

If it increases renewable energy production, then it could still end up as a net-benefit for society, once it collapses.

This sounds a lot like: You're either with us or against us, or you have nothing to fear is you have nothing to hide.

-Slow down a bit to create another buffer.

Now you've just created a shockwave traffic jam.

Slowing down on a busy highway does not reduce turbulence at all, it add chaos and unpredictability to the system. Once car suddenly slowing down to create a buffer zone causes the car behind to slow more and more and can often lead to a stop further back. This has been proven time and again on closed loop systems studying highway traffic flow. They are known as "phantom" traffic jams or shockwave traffic jams.

Is the capability of these explosives at a safe level if the liquid precursors are less than 3.5 fl ounces? If they are still capable of blowing a hole in the fuselage with less than 3.5 fl ounces then the limits on fluids are still pointless.

I would say that many of those cheap goods are simply trash that people buy impulsively that either collects in their homes or ends up in landfills in a short period of time. Fast fashion being a well known one, where people buy lots of cheap clothes that are of poor quality and may only be worn once before being thrown out. We don't need these things and the environment doesn't need to be full of landfills of this junk either.

New comment by lordloki in "Amazon to display tariff costs for consumers"

lordloki — Tue, 29 Apr 2025 14:29:35 +0000

Sounds like they're using the excuse of the tariffs to overcharge. They would pay the tariffs on their wholesale costs when they import. If they're then passing the same tariff % to the customer at their retail price then they're ripping you off.

It's very simple, Americans believe that the individual is responsible for themselves while most of the rest of the world wants to be "protected" by a restrictive government. One leads to innovation and one stifles it. We would rather be responsible for discovering the truth on our own, than trust a central authority to decide what is and isn't true(or propaganda). I find it funny how Europeans think their governments are protecting them from propaganda instead of drowning them in propaganda.

So you started out your hiring practices focused solely on one race...and you don't think it's racist?

lordloki — Wed, 05 Feb 2025 19:23:07 +0000

Or all the people that you assumed were racist are really just upset about these racist policies.

Your entire argument is the No True Scotsman fallacy, so it's rather ironic for you to accuse others of it.

Accusations of racism were always a lie used simply to silence those who said it was a lab leak. Our governments failed us, lied to us, censured us, and demonized those who didn't bend the knee.

Debanking someone in our current society is the most abusive things they could have done. It prevented people from accessing and using their own money in an era that is almost cashless. It effectively starved people out and left them trapped. It is so excessively overboard, yet there are those here who will defend it because it happened to those not on their side. When the government changes and it is used against them they will shout and holler with surprise. I'll never understand how people don't see how something that you allow the government to do to others will eventually be used against you too. It's only happened every goddamn time throughout history.

They weren't punished by the law though, they were debanked in an era where you need to use the banks to eat, pay rent and to merely survive. That is above and beyond any legal punishment. It is economic banishment and it is se excessive that it alone should be shunned by any person who wants civilization to survive.

So you support abusive authoritarianism, but only when it's from your side?
