Most people tend to buy the imperfect cheap product rather than the better, more expensive product.
If we refused to buy crap, they wouldn’t make it. If we refused to buy it, they couldn’t make it.
They sell us crap because collectively we prefer it.
Yes. Otherwise we have to call them sparkling fascist.
Confirmed by experience.
More likely tribalism.
Can we agree that until it doesn’t happen to anyone, it should happen to this guy?
That seems like libel to me.
It’s not really lost. If it sank in dock, it’s right there only lower.
No more than Rapidcreek pretending “The West” doesn’t include France.
Their success is not because people don’t see through their bullshit. It’s because the people opposing them have to follow the rules.
They also believe that everyone else is too stupid to put it together. They think they’re such geniuses that they will be able to cover their tracks and convince everyone that it’s the brown people’s fault.
Thanks! I’m glad you agree!
We also blew our chance to support Haiti back when they first revolted because we didn’t want our slaves to get any ideas.
As always, American Ideals are based on a lie.
Haiti was punished by the West for daring to fight against their oppressors, and we all, collectively, never stopped trying to crush them.

Now they have the failed state which the West absolutely caused, and scum in this country blame them for the situation they were put in.
Yeah, kind of seems appropriate.
I’m ready to weep from this.
Every time any problem comes up, my current manager insists we must use Excel to solve it.
Except, the article has it in quotes:
“1oz .999% silver medallions”
Which suggests to me they are quoting the announcement.
Given the nature of the person selling them, it would be safer to assume they want you to believe the percent sign is misplaced so that you buy it, but then when you realize it’s less than 1% silver you can’t get your money back.
Cremation doesn’t burn everything to ash. Pieces of bone are left intact and must be mechanically pulverized to make the remains a powder.
When my dad’s dog was cremated many years ago, the remains they gave us were partially ash, but the larger pieces hadn’t been pulverized. It still had many intact pieces of bone. We could see evidence of some injuries and degenerative disease the dog had experienced in his hip and spine.
I’m not sure how many people would be down for rooting through their pet’s remains for proof that it is the right animal.
Who knows, maybe they are Internet keyboard warriors in their spare time.
I’ve included the text (from https://doctors.practo.com/the-hippocratic-oath-the-original-and-revised-version/) below. I’ve also set in bold the phrase which I believe refutes your contention.
If the law prevents you from fulfilling the oath, then you are not able to fulfill the oath.
"I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow. I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug. I will not be ashamed to say “I know not,” nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient’s recovery.
I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty.
Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person’s family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm. If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help."
He’s joking if someone calls him on it, but serious if they don’t.
