I'm not saying Zelenksy is a tyrant...

Is he guitly of war-crimes... who knows?He's been named in the Panama papers despite being anti-corruption. So who knows the truth. Maybe war crimes will come out in the future too.I don't think anyone was saying Thaci was guilty of war crimes at the time, otherwise there would've been more of an uproar from the western media when NATO bombed Belgrade, bombing hospitals and killing civilians, just to back a war criminal as Kosovo's first prime minister.

Over the past few years, incidents on the subway in NYC are more than weekly. That said, I fully get your points of A. there are more people there and using the system and B. saying something happens other places isn't productive. That is in response to broad statements people make like "Fucking sickening that it’s so easy to become an innocent bystander in Philly" as though bad stuff doesn't happen everywhere, or that it's all that likely to happen here. People love to unproductively whine about Philly like it's the worst place on earth.

I am not suggesting that change doesn't need to take place here, of course it does. While I know politicians alone don't fix everything, I voted for the opposition of the current DA, I am voting for Domb for mayor who has best public safety plan IMO, etc. etc.

I said “can mean,” not “does mean” - societal issues are 100% the root cause, but given we can’t change broken systems overnight maybe we should focus on at least licensing and regulating instruments that can kill in an instant until we do?

I’m from Texas, my dad taught me to shoot and how to safely handle and use a gun. There’s a spectrum between “well-regulated militia“ and absolute chaos and we’re currently way too far towards the latter at the moment.

Not even "old" old but realizing that doors begin closing to you. It's a simple fact of life of course that no one could follow all their dreams and whims let alone a small fraction of them. But still a piquant feeling of loss.

But oh well, death is likely to be pleasant or neutral at least. Might as well see the rest of life first.

Had an Uber eats driver fuck up bad. I ordered maybe $20 worth of food from Popeyes but the guy dropped off the wrong order that had enough food to feed at least 8 people easily. I tried to contact the driver but he kept sending me to voice mail so I got to keep the food. The best part was that since he gave me the wrong food, Uber eats refunded my entire meal so I got at $80+ worth of food without having to pay for it
