  • it’s a fair point. but the reality of many wars reaching a point of “total war” ware both sides abandon any rules agreed to or even within their own cultural norms, it has a limit to how effective it will be.

    surrendering in a losing war very early and quickly is wise, but few people who are running a country at war are wise or motivated by any form of loss reduction.




  • Would he have? Because you forget the votes that don’t get cast don’t show up in the data either. Look up how many voting locations were shut down in republican held states, or how many voter roll ‘purges’ were done, or how polls are closed early, or how not same day voting was prevented or thrown out, how polling locations are only open during work hours, I’m not making shit up, they reduce the number of people least likely to vote republican by any means necessary and half of what is legal and being done now by Republicans was made illegal by the civil rights act for most of my lifetime. And that law died with a whimper under Obama of all presidents, the conservative supreme court justified that with ‘‘racism must be over now, so we can get rid of laws ment to combat racism’’









  • I used it the other day when a kid on my bus buckled the extra 5th point harness on himself that can’t be taken off without assistance, which he doesn’t require, and I warned him if he puts it on I won’t take it off until the destination. He tried bargaining, but I told him I’ll die on this hill. He’s only 5, but he got that it wasn’t going to do anything other than what I said. Also, I know for a fact all he’s going to do if I take it off is immediately put it back on. And it can’t harm him, it’s just an extra strap on a harness.
