Yes, I do block the rude.
I think (absolutely IMHO) Reddit commenting is more confrontational. Sure, we have that here, but on Reddit I would get slapped down often, because I’m not that smart and I make mistakes. My clumsy way was chum in the water for the sharks.
Not here. I feel like people here, EVEN WHEN THEY GET MAD, can be spoken to, even apologized to, and together you can be okay. Not agree necessarily, but not ugly or unkind.
I’ve seen a few new people here try the “smack em for being stupid” technique, and mostly it gets them downvotes and criticism. I really love that about being here.
It feels much safer for the sensitive.
11·5 days agoAbsolutely. The National Assembly voted the guillotine, “the most gentle of lethal methods.”
A couple of observations from the schematics:
- Wheels on the side of the blade mechanism! I thought it just slid!
- Springs? There are springs?
I choose…sideways. I’ll make faces at some kid in the crowd. And when the blade comes down, my face will be stuck that way!
His mom will be proved right! Don’t make faces or your face will get stuck that way!
If you’re guillotineed.
Calm down, calm down. I didn’t say it was ineffective. Quite the opposite actually.
As to “technically challenging,” you had to build the damn thing; as opposed to throwing rocks at someone, or tossing them off a building.
I don’t think the 18th century was the idiot-land you think it was.
It takes an engineer making calculations? Thanks for helping make my point ☝️
I just meant family, friends, a non-threatening person who was keeping things in check when you spin off a little bit too far.
It’s a wild world, but sometimes not THAT wild.
Ahem. I’m not sure coffee accounts for all that.
Do you have outside eyes on you, helping you see if you’re going too far sometimes? We can all use some perspective now and then
Because that was a pretty distant shore.
But BANKRUPTCY DOESN’T FIX IT. Biden gave us that.

I mean hell, it can’t be helped. The colleges charged whatever because the government guaranteed the loans.
The banks approved the loans without any real credit check because the government guaranteed the loans.
People accepted the loans because they weren’t counted against your credit rating and the repayment terms were incredibly flexible.
Now all that shit’s out the window and hell’s about to break loose.
- Colleges will shut down
- Banks will be insolvent.
- people will lose their life savings and their retirements.
This shit is getting very real.
It’s another case of our government letting vulnerable, dangerous shit just sit there (like abortion legality based on a supreme Court ruling rather than a law), until someone did something exploiting that vulnerability and then it’s all “OH NO! WHO COULD HAVE ANTICIPATED?”
Well mf, that was your job. Not mine. Yours.
…deciding how and to what degree legislation will be enforced, dealing with emergencies, waging wars, and in general fine-tuning policy choices in the implementation of broad statutes.
Yeah, that’s not what we’re seeing here.
Attempts to block such orders have been successful at times, when such orders either exceeded the authority of the president or could be better handled through legislation.
Sure as shootin’, this is what’s happening. Let’s get blocking. Of course, there’s the problem of a rogue presidency that doesn’t obey court orders.
Unreasonable gives cops and judges a lot of leeway. Words like that should be illegal. If you can’t pin it down, it can’t be a law.
It feels like you are presenting me with an unspoken option. Either,
- This question is a joke, or
- I’m really ???
Yes, it’s a real question. I wondered it in real life, and asked it here.
Please don’t be rude and unkind to people who don’t know as much as you.
Actually, let’s just try not to be rude and unkind. There’s no reason to take some time to make someone feel bad.
Oh, I definitely meant broke tires.
Okay and I’m trying not to be contentious here but the question itself was if we have a general strike and it’s successful what will be the demands?
This was not a general question about what is needed in the USA. It was a specific question about the end goal that a general strike would have.
I was asking people to answer that question.
