Got any links to news stories about tourists in Ukraine getting forced into fighting for them.

Take your time. I'll wait.

Or how about Ukraine intentionally targeting missiles at apartment buildings and purely civilian infrastructure with no military value just to murder and terrorize people just trying to live their lives.

If there's anyone here that's a victim of propaganda and indoctrination, you'll find them in the mirror.

These awards and settlements really need to start coming out of the police unions. That's the only way to start getting cops to hold each other accountable.

They are denied separate spaces for meals and using the washroom

That seems entirely too minor to mention compared with the possibility of getting killed in some maniac's glory war.

I see the letters N and L. Confidence: 100%

Below that, I see a pair of unfinished cutoff denim shorts. Confidence: 0.003%

That's utterly vile, especially considering that India fought against the Nazis during WWII. I can't imagine being one of the soldiers that came back alive and seeing that shit in my own country.

Thank you. I knew it looked/sounded wrong.

We came to visit Russia as tourists

Boy, my sympathy went to 0 pretty damn fast. Might as well have said they went to Nazi Germany as tourists.

edit: grammar

Went through a bout of sleep paralysis episodes many years ago. Started suddenly and stopped a few months later just as suddenly. No idea why. However, my wife now has standing orders that if I'm mumbling urgently in my sleep, she should interpret that as me screaming, "WAKE ME THE FUCK UP!"

Water weight. You still drink water when fasting.

Not having to listen to you talk on the phone while I'm trapped in a seat near you is absolutely going to decrease my air rage.

The free market also dies when unregulated companies destroy their competition to become monopolies, destroy the environment and enslave people.

You're correct in that when companies essentially own politicians and get regulations passed that help them do the above, like the system we seem to have now, then that's a serious problem.

The answer to that isn't to get rid of regulations, though. An unregulated free market isn't going to stop factories from dumping toxic waste into rivers or spewing it into the air. It's not going to stop companies from paying employees slave wages. And it's definitely not going to stop companies from using dirty tactics to drive out their competition and become monopolies, as you seem to be suggesting.

A well regulated free market can both reward innovators that come up with new products or services that society values while also protecting the environment and the workers from exploitation, and ensuring healthy competition.

That's not the system we have now, for sure, but we're absolutely not going to get there by getting rid of regulations. We need to yank control of the government (and thus the laws) away corporations and the wealthy and give it back to the people.

FYI: It's "past time". But I'll admit, I wasn't 100% sure, myself, so I had to double check before responding. https://grammarpartyblog.com/2012/01/20/pass-time-versus-pastime/
