Why do they fuck things up though? I'd wager the answer is usually to reduce expenses and generate more revenue, both of which are aims of capitalism.
Hospitals and utility companies are supposed to be "public goods." As it turns out, market pressures incentivizing these entities to profit unconditionally from a populace utterly dependent on their services isn't very good for the public.

Not OP but same. My mom would repeatedly headbutt sharks and shit until they stopped putting up a fight then rip open a flap on their stomachs so I could get to the yummy liver.

Yall didn't read the article and it shows. Aramark did this three separate times in the past ten years. NYU ended their contract with them over it. Someone in charge of the menus is racist as fuck and thinks this is hilarious and has managed to keep doing it without consequence. This is not about whether you think fried chicken and watermelon is delicious. It's about context. In the context of Black history month, invoking foods that were historically meant to stereotype and mock ADOS is abhorrent. This wasn't an innocent mistake.

If they weren’t orcas I would have thought NPR was covering a story about two of my cousins. But replace grandchildren calves with a game app that didn’t go anywhere.

Huh. I thought we already learned that a “One Child Policy” was a bad idea.

Unfortunately. Here is a good Radiolab podcast: https://radiolab.org/episodes/home-where-your-dolphin
I asked ChatGPT and it said:
> You might be referring to the story of Margaret Howe Lovatt and the experiments she conducted with a bottlenose dolphin named Peter in the 1960s.
> Margaret Howe Lovatt was a researcher who worked with Peter, a captive bottlenose dolphin, as part of a NASA-funded project to explore the possibility of communication between humans and dolphins. The experiments took place on a small island in the Virgin Islands, where Lovatt lived and worked with Peter for several months.
> During the experiments, Peter became sexually aggressive towards Margaret Howe Lovatt, and she claims to have engaged in sexual contact with the dolphin as a way to appease him and maintain a calm and productive living environment for both of them. However, this behavior is considered highly controversial and unethical by the scientific community, and Lovatt has faced criticism for her actions.
> In the end, the experiments were unsuccessful and the project was eventually abandoned. Peter was eventually transferred to another facility, where he died several years later. The story of Margaret Howe Lovatt and Peter the dolphin continues to be a topic of interest and debate in the scientific community, and serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of crossing ethical boundaries in animal research.
So, basically an OG nottheonion story.

We need to learn to speak orca so we can cooperate with them on better breeding strategies.

Why not just say orca? My English is perfectly good but I admit that "killer whale moms" took me a while. Had to go over it a few times.

Maybe stop interfering in other countries business and creating unrest and then you don’t have to worry about their complaints …

My mother did not support this strategy at all. I was given the boot shortly after hs graduation by coming home from work one day to find a greasy smoking guy whitewashing my bedroom walls and telling me my mom had rented out my room to him, my stuff was in the garage. Orca moms need that greasy smoking guy

Reply to comment by 1573594268 in Indiana Senate passes bill to legalize throwing stars by Phlegmbrandt
I think that is a really good point too. These laws often don’t come with a right to legal council because they occur in civil courts. Who exactly do people think will be harmed as a result of depriving someone of an appointed attorney? People of low socioeconomic status of course. Ultimately we had ways to deprive truly dangerous people of their lawful ability to purchase firearms through a court with real due process standards but some people decided they needed an express lane with no real due process. Red flag laws are just not a good solution unless the goal is to just enable swatting.

Yeah, I think I mostly agree.
I'm not really trying to defend Red Flag laws so much as trying to point out how ridiculous the original banning of throwing stars was.
I mean, from my understanding it was basically anti-asian racism from the start.
If anything these types of regulations help to further abuse minorities, so I'm not really a fan of them.
Thanks for your reply. You've made several good points.
I don't want to take a defeatist attitude towards potential legislative solutions, but simultaneously must admit that I have yet to see any proposed solution that couldn't just as easily be used to strip away the rights of minorities.

Matter if time they will start fighting between themselves. There are kinda two factions, the Kandahar faction that's not seen the world and the ppl who sat in Qatar and saw how the world operates. The Kandahar faction is more extreme I. E. Girls education and stuff. And their are rifts developing. But all in all, they're all still bunch of idiots.
