Ford declared:

My ambition is to employ still more men, to spread the benefits of this industrial system to the greatest possible number, to help them build up their lives and their homes.

Somehow I have a hard time believing Ford when he says this lol

Put it on the pile with all the other studies saying the exact same fucking shit

Different/less fuel I imagine. The problem with WTC was the fires kept burning which weakened the steel enough for it to collapse under its own weight.

Edit: Admittedly, I read the headline as "B-52" but I think the comment stands.

I can play it with Wine on Linux

I do hope you're using Proton...

No! When it's someone we agree with, they should let them continue to heckle for as long as they'd like before continuing the event.

Yeah that's where I'm gonna stop reading.

Have a nice week.

The only fine line she is trying to walk is keeping her pro-Palestine voters while doing everything Israel is asking of her.

I'm curious what you think Israel is asking of the Vice President of the United States? What is it that you think the VP does?

I can only speak for myself, but my main problem is the culture and how these people become football players. They start from a very young age, and if I had kids, the thought of letting them destroy their developing mind like that for a sport would be completely out of the question.

Instead, in some areas of the country, we have families that are pressuring their very young children to enter a sport that will affect their developing brain in profoundly negative ways.

This isn't only encouraged, it's highly rewarded. College football coaches at big state schools, are often the highest paid public employee in their respective state.

I mean that's cool about jousting, but I think you're missing the point. Which I don't believe was about jousting specifically.

Maybe they should have referred to how we used to watch lions eat humans for sport in the colosseum. Popular shit from what I understand. Should we keep doing that because people liked it?

Public executions are another one...

Because in order to allow them to play it, we are literally damaging our children's brains?

Look at the size/build of the players back then compared to today... It probably didn't happen as much because people weren't as big and didn't hit as hard.

Is it really that wild? Hockey players are insane people. They literally cannot remove fighting from the sport without the entirety of Canada revolting.

The referees back off and give people space to fight. In the middle of the game. They go from refereeing hockey, to dirty boxing, then back to hockey. It's a crazy sport.
