There’s an old joke that uses this premise.

President Bush was briefed on the war this morning. He was told that 3 Brazilian solders were killed in Iraq.

To everyone’s amazement, all the color drained from the President’s face, then he collapsed onto his desk, head in hands, visibly shaken, almost in tears.

Finally, he composed himself and asked, “Just exactly how many is a Brazilian?”

Until you open the door and decapitate him.

I had to google this, legitimately thought you were referring to a Pokemon or something. Some weird combination of Geodude and Psyduck, maybe.

Look, if I have to go bankrupt for visiting the hospital to make sure that all these “rainbow flag” groups can’t corrupt our youth, that’s what I’m going to do!

• Conservatives, probably

Well now I just want to see if I can get it to talk about kobolds. Not explicitly on the list!

Not to mention by ending (or changing the structure of) subsidies for farmers (in the US, at least). Because of the way the subsidies are paid out, farmers are incentivized to grow crops like soybeans and corn that feed livestock vs. crops that people eat, because they’re more heavily subsidized.

There’s a lot of articles about this topic out there but in the interest of providing a source, here’s one example.

On the other hand, the platform isn’t large enough to support the body with B so there’s danger of it falling off or hurting people or whathaveyou. With A, you risk the head and neck falling down and hurting someone but the body, at least, is in a stable position.

A better analogy would be insects. Not all yellow-and-black flying insects are dangerous, but if you see one flying around your head, it’s safer to assume it’s a yellowjacket than to assume it’s a honeybee.

Yes.

Nowhere near as high-stakes as some of the others here, but…

When I was 16 or so, I was hanging out with a few friends and one of them pulled out a joint and a bottle of some kind of liquor, and started passing it around. I got a really bad feeling about it and bailed on it.

Found out the next day that after I’d left, they’d gotten pretty drunk and/or high, and had decided it would be a good idea to take one of their mother’s minivan for a drive around their property. They scraped the side of it on something, took off a huge bit of paint, and then decided the best course of action would be to use some spray paint they found in the garage to try and cover it up.

They were all grounded for quite a long time, a fate I managed to avoid by leaving when I did.

This is the way. IMO no individual should be allowed to have more wealth than the poorest country. Want to earn more? Uplift the impoverished, then you can.

I lowkey don’t think it looks bad. Clearly I have just as little fashion sense as he does.

There’s a vampiric tutor face-up there; these are probably commander decks. Could easily be thousands per deck.

There’s also endless content of them confidently presenting these arguments to judges when they’ve broken laws and being immediately shut down by said judges.

Perhaps taking care of Clifford is what they do. The government just pays them to do it, and helps cover the costs, because the alternative is having Clifford rampaging around the city completely uncontrolled. They’re functionally zookeepers for kaiju.

That raises an interesting ethical concern. Should a 100’ tall woman have equal access to housing assistance? You could house hundreds of normal sized people for the same resources it would take to house her, but is she not deserving of the same benefits other people receive? Is it greatest good over equality?

Depends on the conviction. If it was something that was settled in front of a judge with police as the primary witnesses, I probably wouldn’t care. If it was a serious crime decided by a jury, I’d give that a lot more weight.

This is likely more disruptive and annoying for the people working there, who then have to manually create a ticket and enter it into their ordering system, vs. an online order that does that automatically.

In the 90s? Sure.
