NGL my first impression was no sarcasm because of the lack of s/. I thought Lemmygrad just had another leak.

I think most of this is attributable more so to the abolition of serfdom and the industrial revolution than the communist one. The US also had those improve during the same period too.

The result has been recognised by Venezuelan allies China, Russia and Iran.

The three countries most well known for their open and fair democratic processes.

For the sake of clarity is my claim is that most nations won’t accept the legitimacy of any ICJ ruling against them as there is no practicable means of holding a nation to account. A judiciary without an executive is an exercise in futility.

There is no crime without a consequence.

Any nation at the point of which informed reasonable third parties declare them to have committed war crimes isn’t likely to just slap their knee and say “you know what, my bad” after a ICJ ruling.

It’s one thing to respect the ICJ when you are a third party. It’s another when you are in the nation subject.

If the ICJ declared that many European countries violated human rights by not allowing criminals defendants to face their accusors, I doubt many of them would reform their justice system.

Seemingly not among the involved party. What punishment can flow for this crime and the court’s finding that wouldn’t be levied otherwise.

The indica of respect and legitimacy of a court is if their rulings are abided. Convince Israel a court with no Israelis should be the final arbitrator of their nations course of acts.

A global judicial body unrecognized is effectively moot. You, me, and a few other here on Lemmy could all denounce any nation’s treatment of others but that wouldn’t mean much. We’d just be some random people complaining on the Internet.

Legitimacy and respect are critical to any court. Without them the courts have no merit.

It’s hardly a dome, and it doesn’t even seem to be actually talus.

1/5 is fair.

Bikes are a scam perpetuated by big tire. Run at full speed for all of your travel.

Pros:

• Green (non industrial footprint)
• No bike to get stolen
• Harkens back to primitive man chasing gazelles
• Fantastic for heart health
• Just as fast as biking if you run as fast as you bike
• No need for safety equipment (raw)

Cons:

• Others will be intimidated by your presence
• May require barge poll to fend off potential suitors

This model just came out recently. I wouldn’t pass judgement on them for that.

That’s the problem. No people ever think they’re the unenlightened ones. Society changes but not always for the better.

The Constitution is a safety rail to protect us from ourselves.

Tldr it depends.

You might not notice with adrenaline pumping. As for lethality it really depends on where in your stomach you get hit and the care you get afterwards. In terms of the fight if it’s just your stomach area getting hit nothing shy of a spinal hit would instantly stop you. If they hit an artery you’ve got minutes. If they puncture your intestines and you can’t get care days, before infection catches up to you.

For the actual conflict the only things that will instantly stop are central nervous system hits (brain/spine). Heart and lungs are the next worst, but wouldn’t stop you from claiming a pyrrhic victory. Major arteries are the next big thing to worry about.

The worst part about getting hit in a non vital part of the chest wouldn’t be the force of the blow but the slow agonizing battle with infection that is not unlikely to follow. But absolutely livable and not nearly as bad with modern medical care.

Just look up Trump-isms. Just like Bush-isms or Biden-isms.

Flag code in the US has no teeth. Flag burning is legal per Texas v. Johnson. Symbolizing a stance of the nation being in distressed is definitely protected speech. Impropriety is a stretch for a statement on his private property that amounts to “our country is in turmoil”.

In my head for them ground level is just dirt and doesn’t have a proper floor.

I think this might be an East v. West debate. On the East Coast I thought the exact opposite. This is the first time I’m hearing about WA & Japan’s connection. But hey, I’m glad I learned something today.

To be fair to the other guy, most Americans are probably more familiar w/ DC’s trees than Washington’s. DC is a common school trip location for much of the East Coast and the cherry blossoms are right across from the Jefferson Memorial.

Colorado, TX?

A prerequisite is ceasing to see others as individuals but rather groups. Then the (possibly fictional) crimes of one become the crimes of all. Thusly it is justifiable to punish all.

The important lesson here is to treat others as individuals, not as representatives of a group.

I do because most of my posts tonally benefit from it. Non capitalized to me seems too casual, not to say it doesn’t ever have a place.

Also I feel capitalization reaffirms that the title is just a title and the post has more information beyond it.

I think their claim is the practice of tipping is facially wrong and people should be compensated by their employer.

However, that’s vastly different than someone going to the store on your behalf, checking out, driving to your house and walking all items to your front door does probably merit a tip.

I believe they’d agree that person deserves compensation but they’d disagree on it being by tip vs salary.
