No need to go that deep. What he needs is a gluteal resection. A buttockectomy. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7054894/

Last good Republican, even if he was a colonialist demagogue. Ike was merely inoffensive and Taft should’ve just gotten out of Teddy’s way. Hoover, Coolidge, and Harding were obviously worthless.

My beard genes are primarily neck beard and pencil mustache. Hasn’t stopped me from growing out in the past.

It’s pretty simple. You need intent to permanently deprive to be theft, and there’s little chance they can nail down anybody with that intent in that case. They’re not out to make you whole, they’re out to arrest people. Even if they could make a criminal case, you’d have to go through the civil courts to get restitution. Since it’s not a situation where they can realistically make an arrest, your only options are civil.

And pointedly, the police only respond for criminal issues. They are not going to assist you in a civil dispute like this. Unless you’re the fucking sheriff. The best that could happen is the police come to trespass the caller.

That looks nothing like Azathoth. I know, I’ve met the guy over in dunwich.

Oh nobody’s predicting net positive fusion anytime soon. There’s huge materials hurdles in both magnetic confinement and inertial confinement while also regenerating tritium. Neutron radiation just does not play nice.

They still are saddled with profit motives for some of their lines and the “if they build it they will come” strategy isn’t working out too great for them. Several lines are in dire staights due to overbuilding and lack of ridership. Better than others of course.

You got that in your grinder bio?

Do they speak English in what?

Oh nice, they’ve got a Blåhaj one

Ed is Bill and depressive Edd is Marston or Pearson if both actually cared about other people.

They haven’t had a problem in NZ and Aus.

It’s the courts themselves that would have to break them up, so it’s not an issue there. It’s just a very high bar to clear because the courts don’t care about anticompetitive practices unless it has a detrimental effect on the consumer. You’d be hard pressed to argue that things like YouTube and Gmail coupled with the cloud service, the ad service and the phone service are causing actual harm to the consumer that competition wouldn’t. I don’t see how YouTube would survive in its current form if it used third party ads, hosting, and CDN, the same way prime video and twitch are very dependent on Amazon Web services. Back in the day, for example, interurban electric trolleys were often owned by power companies. They used the power company’s right of way for the electric lines for the tracks too and of course their power. That’s anticompetitive, but frankly good for the consumer. That said, I wouldn’t be sad to see it burn in a fire either.

What’s funny is back in the day bottling was very local. Coke didn’t even own the bottlers and still doesn’t. Back then, if they had bottled water it would’ve straight up been from either your local or somewhere nearby’s municipal water supply. In the 70s the bottlers consolidated regionally into things like Coca Cola United and Coca Cola Consolidated. Be nice to go back to that, with glass bottles going directly back to your local bottling company for reuse and no wasteful shipping of stuff you can frankly get locally.

Edit: In the 1920s there were over 5,000 bottling companies in the US. A bottling company for every 20,000 people. Thats how local it was.

The thing to keep in mind is there were a massive amount of people occupying the square. The key point is, the army did not massacre those people. They left after negotiations with the army. There was no gunning down the occupiers or crushing them with tanks. One person picked up in CIA/SIS Operation Yellowbird said that the tanks ran over tents with people sleeping inside them in the square, but that’s frankly dumb, nobody would be sleeping. The others that were actually there noted that it was a largely peaceful dispersal if you compare it to what happened before with the protesters fighting the PLA on the streets of Beijing and the soldiers indiscriminately opening fire on entire apartment blocks because someone threw a rock.

Frankly the best evidence of it is Yellowbird itself, which smuggled more than 400 people out of China, many of them the leaders of the protest themselves. If they had kettled in and slaughtered the occupants, that wouldn’t have been possible.

You’ll do anything to avoid drawing hands won’t you.

Because it’s what happened. It’s not a point of morals or anything else. The other poster is making a value argument that I don’t particularly agree with, but when it comes to the reality of what happened, they’re grounded. Go read the Wikipedia article.

Once again, that’s not out of line with what he and I said. There were barricades and fighting in the streets of Beijing and the army killed whoever got in their way to the square, but the people occupying the square were negotiated with and peacefully dispersed. They then once again took all the ammo from the soldiers.
