I suppose it could be construed as a teaching moment in that if the kid goes out in the world and provokes people in this way he'll get knocked out. The point would be to educate or shame the teen so that he doesn't get knocked out... not knocking out the kid yourself lmao. That teacher wasn't...

It won't go anywhere. Japan's police and legal system is extremely corrupt. The political system is also corrupt. It's not like the garden-variety corruption that people constantly bitch and blow out of proportion in the west; it's the real deal. Often this surprises people because they assume...

This is like insurance, they only offer it to you because there's money to be made over a large sample size. It's not impossible that you could be the one house of a thousand that gets unlucky and can get a benefit out of it, but for 99% of households it's just money wasted. If something did...

Seems like the guy's brain just couldn't process the situation. If he had taken the conscious decision to not intervene, you'd expect him to get out of the line of fire. Instead he just sat there while his two remaining braincells were debating whether pineapple belongs on pizza or not.

This was rolled out ad hoc on the heels of the UK's 1976 $3.9 billion IMF loan, which imposed the cutting of public spending as a condition for receiving the loan. Default on this loan is also what lead to electricity privatization in the UK. The World Bank's IMF is a predatory organization that...

From what I recall there was a study on intelligent people which found that they were more likely to be emotionally well-rounded than average. The stereotype that if you're intelligent that means you're socially inept is just that, a cultural stereotype, it's not true statistically. The "idiot...

I don't think the government should get involved in it (basically eugenics) but I do think it's morally wrong. People keep talking about how it's the Downs' couple "right" to do it and it's their "right" to be happy. The narcissistic whims and wishes of a couple who has no comprehension of...

The kids at the protest are the ones who brought it up, see 4:14: The irony of calling someone out for not knowing the story when that's literally you.

It might be bad luck in my area then. I went to a private high school. It was relatively expensive and full of kids of doctors, lawyers, etc, but dreadfully boring. They even had us wear uniforms so everyone looked the same. I went to a cheaper university and it was a fairly barebones...

American school life looks really cool in movies and TV shows. The fabled homecoming queen and king contests. The mythical prom and the quest to get the girl you want to accept. The student body president election. The famed college life: moving away from home, joining fraternities and...

"Man, this tuxedo cake doesn't have enough sugar. If the cake doesn't put you in a diabetic coma, that means it must be healthy right?" - American, in our healthy and not obese year of the lord 2024

Picking Canada as comparator is like picking the lame duck among countries with social safety nets. Nothing here runs properly compared to many European and Scandinavian countries. At least you know where it is on the map though. Sweden has a homeless rate of 5 per 10,000 vs the US' 18 per...

Recently shelters have been overrun by economic migrants that hopped the border from the US. Toronto conceded that 50% of their beds were being used by migrants. There was also an older study (prior migrant fiasco, so local homeless people) which found that homeless people in Canada have a very...

It's a bit more complicated than just dealing with the homeless people. American society creates these people in the first place. It's a dog-eat-dog culture with very few social safety nets. It's inevitable that some people lose the "game" and can't keep up. In another country they would be...

The criminals love doing things like this, make the people fund their own destruction and mind-fuck them into thinking it's a good thing. They're big on the idea that the best slave is the one unaware of their servitude. It's clearly an effective strategy. It also ties into the current control...

You got three shots and you're wondering why you're sick? Buddy... mRNA vs viral vector doesn't matter at all. All the shots are CRISPR tech. CRISPR can insert sequences into DNA using CAS9 through a lipid nanoparticle or a viral vector, sound familiar? The perpetrators aren't so careless they...

The problem here is her thinking that doctors are the authority on mental health problems. They're not, they're glorified pill pushers. That's literally their entire arsenal: write prescriptions. They've got absolutely nothing. I bet she knows that, too, she's just looking for an excuse to die...

It's not just her legs, her entire body has messed up proportions + strange face. Gigantism itself is a health condition, it means something went wrong with the body's ability to regulate growth hormone during childhood. Just like any other genetic or developmental body flaw, it's not considered...

A month-long cold? With an immune system like that, do start writing that will

I remember that hilariously bad Trudeau photo op, the lady had no clue what she was doing. I hear you. Earth is basically a zombie planet, and the fact almost no one even notices it is testament to it. There's a lot of effort expended to make sure it stays that way as well, e.g. chemical...
