These aren’t remotely the same systems.

You don't get to pretend two train systems are not similar because you write BILLION in all caps and bold.

Thank you, by the way, for so clearly representing yourself in your post history. You're doing this old man a service by making it so obvious that you are continually arguing in bad faith.

doing the job we asked them to do

Ah, so we should pursue this 'we' who are asking cops to kill innocent people. Thanks, Donlon!

But they are clearly intentionally downplaying that he pulled a knife

The subtitle: "NYPD brass said the alleged fare-beater had charged at the officers with a knife..."

Maybe your reading comprehension is indicated by your use of "He wasn’t shot for the fair [sic] lol".

OK… But setting yourself on fire in a country on the other side of the world is better how?

It's what they wanted to do. If you believe in people having free will, then you have to accept that this is reasonable.

To the media: I don't give a shit. Stop talking about this pathetic waste of oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, calcium, and phosphorus. This allegedly existing alleged person offers no value, so just ignore them.

Republican politicians and voters are conspiring to harm innocent people by making up false rumours about them being dangerous, inciting violence against them.

"Oh, okay, but I don't care. As long as the right people are hurt!"

 

This is a large part of why I don't feel emotionally connect to the concept of being a member of humanity.

The right to own guns is clearly more important than the right to be alive. At least, until the lives of politicians or their financial backers are threatened.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_terrorism

Stochastic terrorism is political violence that has been instigated by hostile public rhetoric which is directed at a group or an individual. Unlike incitement to terrorism, stochastic terrorism is accomplished by using indirect, vague, or coded language that allows the instigator to plausibly disclaim responsibility for the resulting violence.[1] A key element is the use of social media and other distributed forms of communications where the person who carries out the violence has no direct connection to the users of violent rhetoric.[2]

The stochastic terrorism is the wild claims infrahumanising certain groups on social media. Then someone decides to act on those claims, and the people who posted them say "I had no idea that would happen".

Rinse and repeat until you've made the world worse, then die with lots of money.

Hi, I'm a teacher. The young men I see 'villainized' tend to make their own life harder by feeling entitled to money and status without actually trying to achieve anything. Their entitlement then causes them to act in unpleasant ways.

I don't see many young men being treated badly simply because of their chromosomes or external genitalia.

 

yet at every step they’re villainized

Sounds like you're saying that if a man goes to the bathroom and washes his hands he is villainized. After all, washing your hands is a step in a procedure.
You probably don't mean that. Maybe you are employing hyperbole to make a point. Please explain.

Temperatures above 50C used to be a rarity confined to two or three global hotspots, but the World Meteorological Organization noted that at least 10 countries have reported this level of searing heat in the past year: the US, Mexico, Morocco, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran, Pakistan, India and China.

In Iran, the heat index – a measure that also includes humidity – has come perilously close to 60C, far above the level considered safe for humans.

Heatwaves are now commonplace elsewhere, killing the most vulnerable, worsening inequality and threatening the wellbeing of future generations. Unicef calculates a quarter of the world’s children are already exposed to frequent heatwaves, and this will rise to almost 100% by mid-century.

The frog that is in this picture is the subject of the picture, which is why it is a picture of a frog.
