That seriously sucks, I know no amount of money will get you back to whole, but I hope you were able to at least get some kind of compensation from that human wrecking ball.
Usual one first: back in 2010 a friend and I rented a car from NC to NJ last minute to catch another buddy’s wedding. Rental agency gave me an odd look when I declined the insurance and I got one of those chilling epiphanies where something seemed wrong. Anyway, we’re coming back from NJ going 80 on the freeway in middle of nowhere Virginia and my friend was driving, me in the passenger seat. Guardrails on both sides of the road in a forest. 5 pointer comes casually walking into our lane from the one on the right. My friend saw it too late. Honestly a good thing, he only had enough reaction time to jostle the steering wheel slightly to the left, not even brake. We dodged that bucker by inches. Car insurance be damned, it would have probably ended me.
More bizarre ones:
True that, I just took a look at the FAQ and it still references kbin.
Question, how do we donate to this project?
Ultimate power ultimately corrupts. It doesn’t matter whether it comes from capital or community.
We must have a way to audit, it’s a tool that helps keep power in check. How do you audit handshakes and wink/nods?
I agree with your sentiment, but I’m concerned that they’re putting all of their “faith” in a far right candidate. They’ve made her a cult of personality.
Russia was a colonial power, then it found oil.
There are also some justifiable fears that Australia is becoming a vassal state to China. I suppose one could argue that Australia was a colony (but I’d argue that the US was one too).
Just saying, it can happen to any country.
Resource curse is a MF. When your government is no longer reliant on its people to fund its political class, all sorts of short/medium term chaos ensues.
This isn’t to say that the US doesn’t have some responsibility in cases, just that the situations are incredibly complex annd it’s easy to scapegoat the bogeyman for all of your woes.
