“As I served you in the old wars, I serve you now.”

Very cogently written.

Bro really went straight from x to z

Uhhhh

“seeing other women” means “not exclusive”

but “not exclusive” does not always mean “seeing other women”

He could be, just as one example of many, very unsuccessful at trying to see other women despite having an existing “nonexclusivity” agreement with her.

A new kind of serial killer 😂

As a regular ass reader, I agree. The best news is hardly distinct from avowed and evidence based journalism and research. In short, good faith and competence.

Rare proud BC moment

Ok, if this is anything more than lip-service appeasement, get him the fuck out. We don’t need the Liberals to be socially conservative patsies.

With transparency and plans for transitioning out of violence after success/phases

Good. Nobody partying and “living it up” in a 5-star Dubai hotel deserves any sympathy. Happily ignorant while complicit in stoking war? Good luck

They’ve completely infiltrated the military. Or maybe the sick ass military welcomed them and was looking for them. Fucked either way.

“American Warlord” would be a sick movie title for an expose on these far right thugs.

I wonder if Westeros would have ruled against the name “Milk of the poppy.” No? The UK officially has worse takes on law than The Seven Fucking Kingdoms.

Capitalism lol

As much as I want ICE abolished (and would not mind worse), from reading the article and looking at the references, the logic in the claim is a bit dubious.

1A) 0 ICE has ever been killed “in the line of duty” on the American streets.

1B) The article arrives at a death rate of 1 in 95k / yr based on slightly broader (but still valid) conditions.

2. In 2024 there were 336 school shooting incidents and 276 victims wounded or killed; in 2025 there were 233 and 148 respectively (k12ssdb; I assumed all victims are students btw).

3. There were about 50 million K-12 students enrolled in public schools in 2024

4. Elementary school shooting incidents are just over 20% (incidents no victims, and not for 2024 but the entire k12ssdb reporting period)

5A) Taking the larger and more tragic number of dead+wounded from (2) divided by 50 million we get about 1 in 181k.

5B) For every three shooting victims, roughly one dies. So I would triple that to 1 in 540k or so. This is a ballpark for the elementary school death rate (what the article refers to).

6. For the article headline claim to be ordinarily true, [1B] should be greater than [5B]. It is not as 95k isnt greater than 540k or even 181k. Still, I find this unacceptably close to the ICE death rate by orders of magnitude but it’s not the most honest comparison.

7. In an alternative interpretation, the article could be using the value in [1A] for the basis of the claim instead of [1B], which would be trivial as the nonzero number of elementary school shooting deaths would always be greater than 0. But it’s not worded that way. Risk is by definition future-facing.

8. The population of ICE agents is “only” about 20k (still too many) as of very recently, which is not nearly high enough to beat the “rounding errors” or granularity of a 1 in 100k/yr death rate.

In closing remarks, fuck ICE. ACAB.

Ah yes, always the people you’d most expect.

Booo censorship. 😂

I believe you’ve misinterpreted hitmyspot’s comment. If you think it’s worthwhile, perhaps you can describe exactly what the comparison is between, just so we’re operating on the same concepts so as to be on the same page.

I don’t think it’s worth arguing for arguing’s sake. So at the very least I hope to understand what distinctions you’ve made. If whatever it is is wholly subjective as you say then why refute the other person’s subjective view? What could make theirs more wrong or less valid than yours? 🤔

(I’m continuing to ask in the assumption that there is some shared basis in values or whatever that can make it a bit objective or intersubjective.)

I think we potentially can based on the proportion of people living in terminal pain and suffering – extra sanity damage the cause was easily preventable. If an overwhelming majority choose euthanasia or some sort of dignified pass, it’d be blatantly naive and foolish to continue to claim they’re incomparable. So, it can be a research question 😂.

Not to mention the disproportionate chance of catching an easily preventable disease and then being in extreme pain and misery for whatever remains of life. Normally I’d say that it’s a tragedy not to have the opportunity to live a long and full life and it should be avoided at all costs, but that was never realistically in the cards for them anyway with those kinda parents/cultural upbringing. Lottery odds aren’t worth it.
