He’s the punishment America deserves, but not the one it needs right now.

Oh… wouldn’t you like “to” know?

It’s the sentiment that counts.

Our telemetry data determined that no one was using it so we decided to drop that feature.

Just go to about:dont-grind_my-bones/39a667aa-b5c5-441c-9df9-0f75e3fc588d and configure it there. It’s so straightforward and obvious that it’s literally your fault if you didn’t notice it.

I’ll never get the American mindset which considers “used the n-word 200 times” the main offense, the one worthy to be in the headline, while “struck her numerous times and kicked her in the stomach” is just a minor detail that happens to be mentioned somewhere in the article as an afterthought.

Five more minutes?

I’d argue you still have a lot more visibility than if you were facing the other way. And you have to slide out a lot less to get a good-enough line of sight.

How many kilometers is your hood?

Wait, sorry. If cars are that big around you, you must be American. Let me rephrase: how many Washington Monuments is your hood?

Looking at any road, that number seems about right.

The point is not to reduce the amount of war crimes? Right. I forgot. The point is to signal as much virtue as possible.

This is not about “exercising choice”. This is about affecting the outcome.

I’d like to have similar interactions with my significant other to the ones I have with my cats. You know, things like siting on the couch together… saying silly things in even sillier voices… staring into each other’s eyes while blinking slowly… yelling at her to get down from the cupboard…

To me, at least, it seems like they were fired not as a punishment for Russia’s war crimes but because their Russian citizenship made them compromised - at least in the eyes of their employer. But for the sake of the argument I’m willing to go with your interpretation.

The article doesn’t say who these Russian employees voted for. And it doesn’t matter - I doubt ABBYY knew how each of them voted when deciding to fire them. The question of whether or not they were held accountable had nothing to do with how they voted - only with what Russia ended up doing and with the fact they had a Russian citizenship.

Not voting for Putin, even voting against him, did not help the employees that did so to avoid being fired. The only thing that would have done that was if Russia didn’t invade Ukraine (which would have also had the nice little bonus of not having about a million casualties and not making the lives of many times that number a living hell. But we don’t care about such trivialities. We only care about the virtue that gets signaled)

But no vote they’d have cast could change that. Because Russia is a one-party system - Putin gets elected no matter what.

The USA is a two-party system. Either the Democrats get elected, or the Republicans. A third option is not more realistic than someone defeating Putin in the Russian elections. An American voter that cares about being associated with war crimes (I’m not even talking about whether the war crimes will happen or not. Nobody cares about that - only about being liable to them) can not take comfort in voting for a losing candidate that did not contribute to any war crimes (and never had the chance to). They’ll still be associated with these war crimes simply for being American, just like these Russians are being associated with Putin’s action simply for being Russian.

If war crimes are the main issue you care about in these elections, then the only scenario when you should not vote Democrat is if you think the Republicans are going to do better on that front.

So… do you think Trump, if elected, will commit less war crimes, or less horrible war crimes, than Harris?
