I dunno', I think you're both right, with the caveat of untrained dogs/kids, IMO. In either case, there is a WORLD of difference between one that listens when told to go play outside and one that will draw on the walls with crayon or piss the moment you look away.

It's the same kind of people that have terrible dogs and terrible children.

In either case, a well kept/trained dog/child can be pretty solid company. Though usually a little harder to entertain a child without sticking them to a screen.

That's not cognitive dissonance. That's trauma bonding.

Wait until you hear about this XML thing.

There are many maintenance items on electric tools, too. Chainsaws need oil and sharpening, weed whackers need string. All tools need minimal cleaning, etc. Sure, it can be way less than an ICE tool, but it exists.

Is "act accordingly" allowed to include blocking their drivel?

Similar for people that get annoyed when you ask them about something you know they know. "Why not just google it?" Maybe I'd rather hear it from a person?? Maybe I want a conversation more than an answer?

Took 'em long enough...

lol post that football or soccer are fake in the wro g sub and you'll be lucky to only get figuratively crucified.

BBQ is overrated. Especially in the US.

Spoiler alert: The correct answer to the paradox of tolerance is specifically NOT unlimited tolerance.

So defending yourself is self-defeating?

Interesting take...

and what part of, "machine for efficient and gruesome executions" implies, "political violence between ruling factions and definitely not commoners rising up"?
