I always got apple juice when I was ill as a kid, and I was ill a lot. As a result I cant stand apple juice or cider, they taste like sick

And when they say “more than 5ft” they mean it’s closer to 10.

Maybe I’m 20 years behind, but aren’t all tictacs white? The “green” and “orange” used to just come in coloured boxes, is that not the case anymore?

Edit: I’ve got some serious Mandela effect here it seems

You monster, what about curryketchup? (I think that’s the English word for it?)

I’ve heard someone with a similar job reply with “does your computer cost more than a house? No? Then I can’t help you”

You are the people comfortable about genocide of Russians and Ukrainians so you could continue to live a more lavish lifestyle in West.

I am very much not comfortable with the fact that Russia is mass deporting Ukrainians and taking their children.

India and China have similar stances on matters, as does Russia, to the point India and China are the only countries in the world to sign a pact of not using nukes first. Why do western nations never sign that pact? 1945 Japan vibes?

Not only has Russia not signed it, Russia is actively using chemical weapons right now, despite numerous treaties about it.

Russia also signed a treaty to leave Ukraine alone if it gave up it’s nuclear weapons, and look how they are respecting it.

Brezhnev was a leader in Russia, not Ukraine. His place of birth does not matter.

Oh boy. You really really need a course in history if you think all the parts were treated the same. It mattered a LOT.

How manipulative do you have to be to claim Soviet Union and Russia (core of USSR) are not the same,

Despite Russia’s best efforts, and post cold-war propaganda, they really aren’t. I think the continued fall from Soviet superpower into Russianpetro-olicharchy should be a big hint.

But, as with most people like you, it’s protection all the way down

In 1971? I’m pretty sure it was the Soviet Union buddy, and Leonid Brezhnev was from Kamianske, Ukraine. As was a majority of Soviet cold war equipment.

I know that doesn’t fit your political preferences and deep seated need to excuse genocide, but facts don’t care about your feelings.

We were saved by Russia’s intel.

No, you were saved by a Soviet intervention, led at that time by a Ukrainian man, by ships mostly made by Ukrainians.

We have flying cars. They’re called helicopters, and they suck for most activities

“AI” is the new “blockchain”. It’s a solution looking for a solid problem to tackle, with some niche applications

The party of Personal Responsibility thinks it’s only the responsibility of other persons. Again.

Also lag.

Well, it’s Modi, so I’m pretty sure the answer is “Corruption, massive and blatant corruption, with a sprinkle of incompetence”

That piece of art reminds me of Messerschmitt forrays into “car” building: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_KR200

No, because conservatives need an enemy they can all hate. And it needs to be an enemy who is at the same time vastly powerful and hiding everywhere, but also weak and easily defeated. And now that they lost the fight on gay marriage, they need an even more marginalized group.

One area, however, in which I understand Christianity to be admirably clear and progressive is its opposition to war

Buddy, have you actually read the bible?

THE CONFEDERATE SOLDIER WON

Ah, now I see why conservatives want to learn history from statues.

For most regulations, the laws and rules say something like “companies must ensure X doesn’t happen”, and the companies themselves have to come up with a way to do that.

Let’s say the law says “companies that transport apples must be able to show which batch went where”.

Company A says “to comply with the law, whenever we move a shipment, we store the shipping order on our computers”

Company B says “to comply with the law, the truckdriver will film the place they left, count the apples when leaving, then email the entire dashcam trip, and count the apples on arrival”.

Neither process is wrong, they both follow the law. But when I go to Company B, I promise you they’re going to fail the audit. They’re (probably) not doing anything illegal, but they’re going to fail their audit because no truckdriver is going to count a truck full of apples.

They made that rule, and they really didn’t have to.

I do other audits, mostly safety and environmental, and my big question is usually “nobody made you write this, why would you write this down if you don’t want to do it?”

Ex-fucking-cuse me? It’s this for real?
