  • Most people don’t know “what” anything is in that case. Cars? Most people don’t know what a clutch master cylinder is - they just know how to use the car. Most people don’t know what an app is, since they don’t understand the code language it was built in. Sure, they know how to use it but without knowing Java, it may as well be magic. Vaccines! No one knows what they are! There’s no simple explanation so everyone who’s ever used a vaccine has no idea what they are!

    The average person does not have specialized knowledge about anything, even things ubiquitous to modern life.

    Yeah, Trump is technically right here but at the end of the day, I don’t really care if a firefighter knows exactly how every app on their phone works, just as long as they know how to put out fires and maybe rescue cats from trees.




  • But that’s your store. Vance was saying Eggs were $4 while standing in front of a sign saying “Eggs $2.99” and complaining about egg prices in the area, while blaming Harris for making eggs $4.

    He could’ve stood in front of the $2.99 sign to only show the more expensive eggs. He could’ve gone to a “higher end” store to find those $7 eggs. He could’ve just stood in a different part of the store. But his crew looked at the backdrop and said “eh, go for it.” and did.

    Harris isn’t responsible for the price of eggs anyway. There’s no “Vice Presidential Office of Egg Prices” she presides over.

    A lot of prior military folks will use males and females just because that’s how it’s been drilled into them. Male and female latrines, not men and women’s bathrooms. Male and female barracks, not men and women’s dorms. Male and female standards, etc etc.




  • No, they killed the hostages and left. If they tried to hold up, and maybe go for a prisoner swap, there’d be more people at risk.

    Not claiming Hamas is good but if there’s no resistance, they don’t kill as many people while finding the bodies.

    They’re not trying to protect the ‘innocent’, they didn’t want the IDF gunning them down. When they saw the news about the IDF laying waste to everyone, they said “Fuck that,” killed the hostages and left.

    Warfighting 101, that’s why you don’t go scorched earth for your hostages. If you make it a smart move to just kill them, they’ll just get killed…

    Granted if you’re not looking for the hostages but looking to make your opponent look more inhuman, well, in that case great idea.
