This is an actualized response. In the moment a lot of people can't pull this off, it does take practice. You're right, of course, this is better...I just wish people would more commonly be willing to ask a clarifying question or two before pulling out the butcher's knife.

Some folks just aren't good with their words and may otherwise be great people. In this situation, true or not, they were talking for some time. I think that level of interaction is worth some benefit of the doubt and the tiniest bit of patience. Instead, despite hitting it off and having a great conversation, shallow lady over there judges him by a single moment amongst probably a dozen leading up to it.

...but that is how it goes. That's the game. It's all just a bit silly though.

I'm fine with internal preselected individuals getting positions and promotions. What is universally disliked is us also getting interviews only to find out later they were a waste of time for this exact reason.

Here you go, everyone:

I'd post a summary, though with these it is often best to go a little more in-depth than some tldr on the subject. Long story short, Trump represents Narcissism and Histrionic, maybe BPD. I'll be honest, I've kept my distance from watching him. Someone else with more screen time, or more knowledge, feel free to chime in with corrections.

DO allow them to go through a lengthy process, complete with a mountain of precise paperwork, and a committee chosen by their peers, on both sides of the aisle, to accept any form of donation.

Why?

Cause they're gonna find a way anyway. That or literally just give them excellent benefits that basically equal the recent Thomas bullshit.

Basically I'm searching for other ways to reduce these issues to a minimum long term.

Pokemon effectively makes them all the money they need and all they need to do is sick one of the rabid lawyers they keep in the basement on anyone even remotely infringing upon what they think they own.

They're like a litigation equivalent to McDonald's land ownership twist to company financial equivalency.

That is shit, but also just a little funny.

Then again I love Dark Souls so this may just be the ptsd talking.

Good point.

What's the alternative?

Your sentiment is fine. The reason you're being downvoted isn't because of your desire to drive a car for your own safety, it's because it appears as if you feel that is the only solution.

This community is interesting because despite the name many users here understand a significant change does need to occur before vehicles can be drummed out at bigger percentages. Many also know that modern infrastructure and working expectations means that a car is the only way a lot of people can make ends meet.

In your case there may be an alternative route, a bus you can take, or even car pooling, amongst other options depending on the location. The answer isn't continuing to pollute, that's just the easy response. But you're right, biking is dangerous and there are motorists out there who have an unhealthy emotional relationship with the road, and against bicyclists. So stay safe, alright?

Just maybe also look at alternatives whilst doing so.

And we cannot expect them to make that choice. They are not to blame and people should not be shifting the blame that must lie with the political elite who constantly push these evil restrictions.

Could you please explain to me why you believe this is the case? I guess I'm confused and want to understand your position.

I wonder if we can find a way to either hit it multiple times, or break it so it won't stop ringing.

Intent, mostly. Other than that, not much. Because we can only assume why, even if it's easy enough to come up with answers, it's best to not leap to conclusions. I might be missing info though .
