Yes i get that

But we also live on an oblong sphere, which is 3 dimensional

The axes of north and south, east and west, are two dimensional

If you have a ship that can sail through anything, with infinite provisions, and you sail past the south pole, you will end up going north. That doesnt suddenly discount the fact that up until a certain point, you were going south. If the sea is immediately around the island, which it is, and is on the opposite side of the exact point of the axis, i wouldnt call that a misnomer.

When you are in that area you’re essentially sailing south until you’re sailing north. If we came at it from the other side it would likely be called something different.

They are two separate clauses i think

1. cardboard causes no problems

2. the cribs help prevent SIDS

I did a quick search and found this:

So its not about the cardboard, its about the makeup of the crib itself

No historical event that mirrors these circumstances?? Are you joking?

If the US got their shit together and banned firearms at any point in the last 30 odd years things would have been a lot better though. Like the rest of the civilized world did.

They just accidentally made his beard longer?

Tell me you didnt read my comment without telling me

The map he linked literally shows the Ross sea south of Antarctica.

Also since its earth is spherical and its near the south pole you can really go any direction and find a sea… that just becomes a matter of perspective.

In this case, specifically, the wedell sea is to the north of the continent

Just looking at that map seems to show the Ross sea to the south

Dont think cops should have rifles to begin with, and if they didnt there wouldn’t be any to steal.

Secondly there’s more than one cops, and they are ostensibly trained, though I know that might be going too far. I think 4 or 5 of them should be able to successfully neutralize even a meth head without killing them. People are way too blase about cops just having the ability and immunity to just kill people. Whether or not they’re drug addicts

I dunno my friends are pretty solid with emotional support when drunk or sober its not that complicated

Maybe tazing someone isn’t the best idea. There are other methods of suppression.

Also once it doesnt work, most police forces in most civilized places know how to take a man down without shooting him up, even if he is trying to take your gun. Its only in the US that cops seem to think fuck any semblance of a threat means I can start blasting people to timbuktu

I know shes a bigot and hates trans people, but i do think people are overlooking the fact that this was a kids series. This wasnt meant to be read and deconstructed and analyzed by adults.

When I read the books as a kid I really enjoyed the world. Some things made me pause or think, but for the most part it was a fun adventure. When I read it again in college, I couldn’t get through the first or second book because of how poor I found the writing.

But again, it is a children’s book. I dont reread Famous Five or Noddy anymore either. I used to love the Redwall series, but when I went back to read a couple last year I found I couldn’t get into it as much as I did when I was 10.

Are they the best books or even the best kids books in the world? Definitely not. Is she a brilliant writer? Definitely not. But were the stories engaging and fun and did they give a lot of children an intro to reading and fantasy? 100%. They became popular because even kids who hated reading enjoyed these stories. She might be a miserable awful person now but that doesnt change what these books did for a lot of good people too.

Yeah maybe its the job of the politicians to go out and get peoples votes and listen to what they’re concerned about rather than just sitting there saying well you have to vote for us cuz that guys worse

Oh no! Its not like the dems didnt drop the equivalent of 5 nuclear bombs on gaza anyway…

Funny how Biden brought up price gouging but then never acted on it

Funny how they brought up corporations buying elections and then never acted on it.

Funny how they could have enshrined abortion or medicaid into law and decided not to because they couldn’t even get their own house together to vote for it because they’re all paid for by corporations and Israel.

Funny how they couldn’t do the basic moral thing and not finance fully a genocide.

Funny how they didnt reach across to any left leaning voters but instead paraded around a family of genocidaires. Funny how they kept leaping to the right instead of even trying to stay as a democratic party.

Funny how they’ve rigged their own elections since Obama in 08.

Could argue that everyone who didnt give a fuck about genocide because it didnt directly affect them voted to kill 100,000 plus people.

Could argue that the same violence happening in Gaza, the same thought process, is exactly what’s happening here. The violence committed 3000 miles away for decades under US rule is coming home to roost.

If Americans were so pissed off about trump they would be out in the streets protesting every single day. But they’re too fat and lazy and dont know how to protect their rights. So if you want to sit there and be dickslapped by democrats pointing at Republicans and aaying they’re bad while half of them vote alongside them at every single point, then ya good luck. You’re not gonna go anywhere except further right. Get in an actual left leaning party with an actual.policy that isn’t “keep the status quo that has failed consistently going” and you might have a chance to have a democracy again.

Yeah I am sure there is 100% As far as I know though he didnt commit a genocide a la churchill

Nah I mean there’s quite a lot to criticize Churchill for though

If only the democrats actually listened to AOC and Sanders.

But they don’t.
