Jokes on you! I’m hyper-focusing on that shit. Card games and board games are my jam.
I'll bite, here's a little list of the top of my head.
- They've had a failed invasion of Ukraine
- Rampant corruption
- Putin is getting old and frail
- Russia has a struggling economy where "Fortress Russia" is starting to fall short
- Drone strikes from Ukraine have been able to target major Russian cities.
- There was a mini-coup attempt by one of Putin's closest allies where a standing army nearly made it to Moscow while shooting down multiple Russian military aircraft.
Yeah, the man literally had a show on RT. He’s problematic at best.
Reminds me of the Key and Peele sketch about Obama meeting with the GOP.
You stuck?
I'm personally curious to see how deep the replies can go on Lemmy. The app on my phone already crapped out.
You keep going on about how utterly vitally important it was that she wasn’t asleep. As though focusing on that is more important than how she was murdered by police.
This is a mischaracterization of what I am doing. I am simply responding to people like you who seem to think the specifics of a situation do not matter. They in fact do.
If you were raging at me that she was not murdered, I would engage with you about that, but that is not what is happening. Why you've felt the need to come at me says more about you than about me.
But her life and justice matter less to you than your obsession with minutiae.
Another complete mischaracterization of what I have said. You have done nothing but rage at me and make assumptions. I can care about two things at the same time.
I will repeat myself again and say go fuck yourself.
Let's back up for a second.
Can you definite what you understand "common sense" to be.
Also, do you think "common sense" varies between cultures?
Is it though? An appeal to common sense has been used to justify any number of horrors historically. It depends heavily on the culture you are in.
Debate is most certainly used to persuade and test the strength of an argument. In debate, however, common sense is sometimes used in place of logical reasoning for things the speaker believes should simply be understood.
Go fuck yourself you presumptuous asshole.
Nothing I have said defends the officers who killed Breonna Taylor, and your words do not make that a reality.
Look, I tend to believe that "common sense is nothing more than a deposit of prejudices laid down in the mind before you reach eighteen.”[1] People perceive the world differently from one another, and have different lived experiences. This is especially true for neurodivergent people when compared to people we might think of as neurotypical.
"Breonna Taylor Was Asleep" is a factually inaccurate statement. The specifics may be a non-issue for you, but they might be a major holdup for someone who thinks differently.

In case anyone, like me, wants a source for Pence refusing to get in the car with the Secret Service. It’s from the book “I Alone Can Fix It.”

The “terrified” part is speculation, but potentially true.
