Ants can be brutal. Some species of ants steal the eggs of different colonies to force them to work for their own colony. Sometimes, the kidnapped ants rebel and lay waste to the interior of the colony that kidnapped them if they think they can overpower them.

Prior to WWII, there were a lot of different conflicts where most of the main actors in WWII were involved. Spanish civil war with the coupists supported by the nazis, Germany annexing Austria and Czechia, Russia trying to occupy Finland, Italy doing whatever the fuck Italy was doing... Of course, that doesn't mean that a world war is a necessary conclusion, but I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking it's a hint.

If the citizens supported getting the president out, why not vote for it? Coups in democracies are almost always the instrument of those who cannot win elections.

To put it succinctly: you don't debate a fanatic to convince them, you do it to convince the spectators.

Women experience a fair amount of harassment in the open league. They aren't forbidden from participating, but the environment discourages it, so they set up a women's league too.

If there wasn't widespread cognitive damage amongst a fair bunch of male players and organizers, they could implement a far more sensible solution: punishing harassment.

None of y'all are getting it. Trans women have an unfair advantage in chess because they can turn the king into another queen.

It becomes less stupid the moment you realize Elon is angry some people are allowed not to have his bullshit forced down their throats. Then everything starts to make sense.

The pandemic got exacerbated in the US because of Trump's dumbfuck negationist policies, but even countries with far tougher positions suffered pretty bad cases of COVID.

Wouldn't that provoke all air in the Earth to get sucked to the Moon due to the difference in atmospheric pressure?

Something that helps too is not being surrounded by people who will discriminate you for being who you are.

Counter-argument: Most of them keep doubling down.

At first, Mobile authorities said they did not believe the relationship was sexual in nature, but they’ve since released two letters Crow wrote that suggest otherwise, including a love letter to the teen for Valentine’s Day. In that note, he professed his love for her, claimed they’re married, and said he tried to steal her some flowers from a Virgin Mary statue, “but there were too many people around.” (...) “Before we fell in love,” the priest wrote, “I promised to always care for you and protect you, like a father. I still look at you and see a child, but in the best way imaginable. You are mine - no one else’s, and I will always be a father to you until I die.”

Holy smokes, the Virgin Mary and fucking Mickey Mouse, this guy couldn't make it more obvious that he was a pedophile from the very start if he hired an aircraft fleet to explicitely skywrite it.
