Just learn how to control a horse by it’s harness. One of my friends had horses in highschool and would go around demos turning police horses away from the crowd.
I know this is a thing in something I’ve seen. Greatest Estate Developer?
Oh yeah, it shouldn’t apply to the cops at all, but on the other hand if I call someone a fascist it does mean I want to put my fist through their skull, so I understand why those kinds of words can be considered threats when applied to actual public servants.
Depending on the jurisdiction assault can be split into assault and battery, where assault is making someone fear immediate violence and battery is the actual violence.
they think there’s a health benefit and that it filters out more than just chlorine.
Depending on where you are they’re not wrong. It’s a carbon filter, and carbon filters remove plenty more than just the chlorine taste, but what they’ll remove from your water depends what’s in your water. Like I wouldn’t ever bother with a filter when I’m in Edinburgh, but in America I’d probably want all my water filtered.
I generally force myself to. Not like psychologically, I mean physically out myself in a situation that makes it the best option.
I cycle about 8 miles a day. On the way to work I ride half a mile to the train station, take the train into town, then ride another mile to work. Really easy, only takes a few minutes and I’d have to walk that anyway so it ends up being less of a chore than walking.
Once I finish work though, the train sucks. I finish just in time to get back to the station right after the train has left, so there’s a 30ish minute wait for the next one, but if I cycle the direct 6 and half miles home it only takes 30-40 minutes, so I’ll get home before the train does. I get exercise and more time to smoke weed and play videogames.
Can’t help with the friends though. I just tightly cling on to a few of the ones I made as a child.
Famously imperialist country, Mongolia.
Also 3 of Switzerland’s official languages are just the language of the closest country, less than 1% of the population speak Romansh.
One of my friends has spent a year in Wandsworth without trial for supporting Palestine so don’t fucking try to tell me about the evils of Russian justice
Only Germany has a stronger stance on Israel, probably due to the large presence of Jews in the country.
Sib, you’re gonna need to sit down before I tell you this…
Yet another victim of 
. No, we’re not the same person, part of Hexbear’s site culture is that we don’t have downvotes so people who disagree with something have to articulate that disagreement instead of just downvoting because they don’t like it.
But OK, I’ll accept your unevidenced claim that Mexico is a “narcostate”, and even your wild notion that race and racism is unrelated to cultures, because I’m not asking about either of those things: I asked you to explain your idea that Mexico is a narcostate because of the culture.
Then I’m sure you’ll be able to explain your thesis, instead of dismissing everyone else as ignorant.
Its not about identifying as it, it’s about being called it - people going through psychotic episodes (which are entirely separate to psychopathy) or delusions often get called it. Psychopathy isn’t even an actual medical classification, so there isn’t really a reason to use it as a term at all.
i simply don’t understand how you square this concept of ideas existing outside language when that’s inexpressable without language.
I think the easiest way to conceptualise it is when you’re trying to explain something but struggling to find the right words - the idea is there fully formed in your mind, but you still have to search for the language to express it to someone else.
Definitely understand that perspective, but I’d say it doesn’t really apply in a context like this; you can’t reason people out of positions they didn’t use reason to reach in the first place. They didn’t come here intending any level of intellectual honesty, they were just here to abuse a disabled comrade, so even if there was study they’d only read it to find reasons to invalidate it. I definitely agree that if they intended to learn and better themselves it would be a dick move, but that wasn’t the case here.
Sorry for catching you in the crossfire, but disabled people being less able to do things is in the name. Even if they think that an able person can “just get a job” it still follows that it wouldn’t be that easy for a disabled person, even before you get into the major logistical and discriminatory aspects many disabled people actually have to deal with.
If you read even a single study you’d understand why that isn’t an option.
Not always, but it can be a specific form of extremely legal public sabotage. Teachers have used it a few times in the UK because plenty of corners are cut in practice, and it is absolutely impossible to fire them for following their government legislated requirements to the letter, no matter how much time it wastes.
It was an extremely oblique 1984 reference -I don’t really have opinions on specific car models, I just find the names funny.
I have mixed feelings about having gone to a grammar school - how at odds private education is with my values, but also how many of those values were formed from seeing the world from an angle I wouldn’t have been able to at a public school - but for once I’m straight up thankful I went and learnt how to be charming as a mode of attack. Deferring to their knowledge while preempting their instructions, just things like saying “after you” a second before they could instruct me to follow them, undermined their authority and put them a little off balance without them being able to identify it as anything other than gracious politeness.
Really importantly though, I wouldn’t recommend any of what I did as a general approach to being arrested. I have a bunch of privileges I knew would influence their attitude towards me, like being white, identifiably male, and well spoken, and other privileges I knew I could lean on to help out, like having a strong support network in my friends and family, so combined with the frivolity of the crime I was doing all of it from a fairly safe position. If I was a minority or looked poorer there’s a good chance it would have been seen as being cheeky and resulted in at least a caution, and if my parents didn’t already know a bunch of solicitors I wouldnt have been able to project confidence in the way I did.
Could lose your nipples, too.
