The reason the time and other stuff is identical is the person who created this image grabbed both from their photo library within the same minute in order to put them side by side.

In my in-law’s small-town of about 4500 people (2 new traffic circles no traffic lights)… the only bakery you could do this in is the only bakery in town and she’d be in handcuffs and nursing a difficult headache the next day.

How is there not a single man in that store that just puts her down and says call the police?!?

I’m not saying go beat her to shut, just put her down.

Initially they treated it as potential anthrax or similar and evacuated the area.

The white house can’t evacuate without a statement to the press. So they said “we found an unknown substance”

Turned out to be cocaine… rest is history.

If they KNEW it was cocaine immediately they would have never evacuated and we would never know it even happened.

I guess I didn’t mean that it “doesn’t matter” in its totality.

I meant that it doesn’t matter what the reason was that they switched to a pro western government.

Whatever the reason, cia aliens lizard people or actual popular vote…it doesn’t matter WHY Ukraine switched to a pro western government in the sense that that led to the inevitable need for Russia to secure their warm water port.

From russias point of view, they must have access to Crimea. End of story.

Russias reason for invading is really simple.

They require a warm water port (one that doesn’t seasonally freeze) for their navy on their west coast.

That port is Crimea.

After the breakup of the ussr Ukraine was politically pro Russia.

Russia was “okay” with this arrangement.

In 2014 a pro American government was elected. (CIA whatever doesn’t matter)

So Russia took Crimea. Gotta have the port. Fuck you.

But that wasn’t enough because their only domestic supply route to crimea was via a bridge that obviously can be destroyed.

They needed a land route to crimea that cannot simply be destroyed and cut off supply routes to their navy.

From the Russian point of view, this is vitally necessary.

Russia then invaded Ukraine to secure territory to create that land bridge to crimea that was not under western influence or control.

That’s the whole reason for the war in a nutshell.

It ain’t nazis and it ain’t for the “Russians” living in Ukraine.

It’s for the strategic purposes of securing their preexisting warm water port with a friendly (or at least controlled) land route for resupply.

Everything else is psyop.

The real-life friends are more difficult. Gotta pull them out of school or change schools or home school to remove that influence.

All real options for sure. But not realistic for everyone at all times.

But it is my fundamental belief that the vast majority of trans-inclined kids are that way because they have no constructive home life and they have too much youtube/tumblr/reddit/whatever. Not because their friend is that way. I believe that I am giving my kids a real and "classic" childhood, but I don't think my family is immune either. Maybe the upbringing I am doing for my kids IS making them immune... time will tell. But I have a backup plan. That's all.

But basically, if you get rid of the 50 year old dudes grooming your kid, your kid will stop being groomed. 99% (not all) of the grooming takes place on the internet and social media. Take away the internet and the grooming stops and reality sets in.

My plan if I should be in a situation like this with one of my kids (hopefully my parenting will prevent it from coming up) is this:

Remove all internet entirely. Then hike the Appalachian or Pacific Coast trail with the kids. Reality will reassert itself in 3 months of walking.

That’s some interesting theory you’ve got there!

Lol. Shut up. 100% torque at the press of the pedal is impossible to achieve in any gas engine.

In fact you can look up power curves on every gear for just about every performance car. Best power in 2nd gear is between 4250-4500rpm for example.

There is no power curve on an electric motor. It’s 100% when you want it.

In fact your call back to 60s cars before the epa emission standards makes you look even stupider. Sure muscle cars took a dive in the mid 70s and 80s but if you think an old stingray can hold a candle to modern engineering, you are retarded.

There’s a lot to criticize about electrics. I drive one, I know all there is to be annoyed with. But performance is the stupidest hill to die on because it’s just probably false in every metric.

What does an S plaid new cost vs his Ferrari new?

There’s your answer. And the plaid has the fastest 1/4 mile of any production car ever.

I have a high performance vehicle that is extremely fun to drive for 1/4 or LESS the price of buying similar performance in a gas vehicle.

Nah. You’re right to suspect everything but I’m a pilot. This was clearly a bad approach that led to stalling / spinning the plane in an unrecoverable position.

Almost certainly pilot error. Almost certainly not incapacitation.
