Apart from anything else (and they're all valid points, but they've already been made), that's really shitty behaviour. Dude waited until the child was full-term before dropping his little bombshell.
Before or after, dude. By 39 weeks she's likely starting to worry about the actual birth and all the things that can go wrong there, why isn't the baby born yet, all kind of stuff, but no, because you're a performative little bitch you picked the worst time to raise something because you want the child's birth to be about you.
Nothing but contempt for that man.
The thing is, even a fatal shot isn't necessarily immediately fatal. They key point about being under fire isn't that you want the other guy dead, it's that you want them to stop shooting at you. So, yes, because people can sometimes keep going for a few minutes before actually keeling over, and given the accuracy under stress of a lot of police officers, police will tend to expend a hell of a lot of ammunition under these circumstances.
Sixty hits from ninety rounds is, all things considered, extremely good accuracy.
When the Met police executed Jean Charles de Menezes - a guy they had hands on at the time - they still missed four shots from the eleven fired.
If they land that plan - not that I think such a thing is likely - they don't want Crimea. At the moment it's an isolated enclave that Russia's having to expend enormous amounts of effort to operate - I imagine our lords and masters are quite happy for Russia to keep hold of that bad penny until they simply cannot afford it any more, given that the aim of this operation seems to have become the destruction of Russia rather than the preservation of Ukraine and her people.
Eh, I'm not sure about that. Trolleybuses work quite well for buses, with fixed routes, but the effort - and likelihood of faults - goes up the more intersections you have to put in. Not sure if I'd say it's ready for joe public, tbh.
I hate to be that guy but for commercial transport, I can envisage some circumstances under which it works better than this.
If it's commercial, for instance, there's going to be less of a problem with the concept of leasing the battery, which is a fair chunk of the value of the vehicle.
You don't need to swap the truck, only the battery. Tesla already has a fancy demo of a charging station dumping the battery out the bottom of the vehicle and swapping a new one in - https://youtu.be/H5V0vL3nnHY?t=60
If the battery's leased, you don't even care if you get the original one back, merely something of equivalent function. So that charging station can charge up your old battery in however long it takes - or ship it off for recycling if it's reached end-of-life. You don't care, you're on your merry way with the new one, that you also don't own.
Plus, with the way petrol prices are serving to keep everybody off the road, in their pods, consuming their bugs, it might be easier on the truck AI if it comes to it...
Part of the problem is that Russia needs that southern shoreline to make other bits they've conquered viable. Sucks to live in a bit of the world that Russia needs, I guess, because they're taking it whether you want them to or not...
Eh, they kinda were, then they stopped trying to learn Western-style manoeuvre warfare while under fire and went back to the grinding, artillery-heavy-and-sod-the-collateral-damage advance that's bread-and-butter for Russian forces.
Eh, neither state has any incentive to do anything other than keep trying various flavours of this until they find one that sticks. They're burning through taxpayer cash, but do you seriously expect CA and NY to give a second's thought to that?
Of course they will.
But it's only taxpayer money they're spending, it's not like it's real money, is it?
And if it works, NY and CA get another century of carving their own private fiefdom out of the United States - maybe they'll even get to impose their will upon the entire country again, just like the good old days!
I'm sorry to hear that, man.
I cannot fathom the behaviour of your family. Your father, for instance ... I get on reasonably well with my father-in-law. I'm not sure I'd make regular visits to the man in hospital - he's a proud man - but I'd bloody well check!
To clarify, the special locations the NY bill bans guns from are:
- Times Square;
- Private businesses, except those that post prominent signage (so Antifa know which ones to burn down?);
- Places of worship;
- Public transit;
- Sports arenas;
- Parks;
- Libraries;
- Government buildings;
- Playgrounds
- Entertainment venues;
- Protests
- Businesses that sell alcohol
- "among other venues"
I'm reminded of that line from The Incredibles - when everywhere is "special", nowhere is...
As long as there's no need to kill her, she'll be OK. She's playing ball, presumably because she knows what happened to her boyfriend just as well as everybody else does.
Though I imagine she's got a few copies of that list floating around for safekeeping.
. which prominently feature a strict adherence to aggressively promoting human rights.
Which is the exploit. Look at the language groomers use these days "Protecting their rights" - they're inventing new rights, such as the right to diddle kids, to game the biases of the liberal democratic system.
Yup, this is illustrated very well with custody of children in divorce.
At first, the kids stayed with the father, as the likely bread winner. Women's advocates of the time did not want to be impoverished by childcare.
Fast forward a few years.
Fucking men keeping mothers from their children! The state will just have to seize some of the father's money so the mother can look after the child! And we'll rig the courts so the mother basically always gets the child, whether the father wants it or not!
Fast forward a few years.
Fucking men treating mothers as some kind of childcare service! The state will just have to let the mother decide who looks after the child, regardless of the father's wishes.
Women's biggest social problems are the things feminists of prior generations have done to them. And if you're a fucking man, they intend to punish you for that.
And once again, the left's response is to show us they can meme ... by writing a novel.
I think it's because good memes rely on the reader's life experience. The actual meme isn't doing anything more than pointing out something the reader already knows, that's why they can be so short.
Leftie memes, with their focus on re-writing reality, have a lot more work to do, they have to construct the reality they're trying to place the meme in, so, novel.
