This the same BrewDog that the term brewdogging was coined for, meaning getting interviewees to solve actual problems in the company, thereby stealing free work from people looking for jobs?

Yeah, fuckem

It’s a hypothetical scenario on a military warship in space with refugees in tow.

Also, it’s not even praising the police, just stating its purpose.

Nothing Trump says means anything, let’s check back in a month.

For the economic security of the world, the US should grant a 99 year lease to the Chinese, Hong Kong style to maintain a free port.

See how stupid it sounds? Fix yourself please, US.

I have a feeling they regret nothing, and will regret nothing, after proving time and again that they view social issues defining the lives of much of their constituency as bargaining chips to throw in when needed.

None of them were personally affected by any of this. They still have a political career even.

The guy is a fictional character in a TV show, and he is arguing that his military troops should not be used for police work.

Both them and China try very hard not to.

Could someone tell him that Trump is not the president of the EU? Not our circus not our fascists.

That’s the bank’s money.

That’s true of Trump and Hitler as well, does that mean the Dems are happy to be on the same platform as them?

Nah, the topic of the month is going to be Trump declaring war on Mongolia because UFOs and Jewish Space Lasers.

Can’t have the plebs talking about real issues.

So on the one hand, I didn’t read the article, and from the headline saying “Iraq amends bad law” I thought they are going from marrying 9 year olds to something more sensible, but they seem to be moving in the opposite direction. I was a moron, and I do apologize for that.

On the other hand, I wasn’t saying any of this to make excuses for either the Islamic world or Iraq. It’s just that we also have so much shit to clean up on our own plate, that laughing at the Middle East seems counterprodctive as to me, it tries to relativize our own shittyness. I’m not saying that it’s not horrendous, but we can do precious little about it, while we can do much more about Hungarian oligarchs using orphanages as brothels (I’m sadly not making this up).

No, neither is okay, but at least it doesn’t make Iraq uniquely wrong in this. What I’m saying is that there are shit laws all over the world, and trying to move past them should be celebrated, instead of “well they are unwashed Muslim barbarians, look at how much better our culture is”.

All I’m saying is don’t “start with Islam”, all of this shit is equally bad.

And they want to bring that shit here.

Where? Look, I’m not saying Iraq is a shining beacon of humanist values, but 4 US states have no minimum marriage age, and the age of consent is 12-14 in a bunch of EU countries as well.

When I was a kid, my 14 year old classmate married a 68 year old priest. This shit is everywhere and not specific to Islam.

You realize that Iraq’s current minimum marriage age of 8 is exactly 8 years higher than California’s minimum age of 0?

I’d love if this became a thing.

There was a huge effort to get a recession going when stuff was starting to pick back up after COVID and workers started to get gains. I feel like Biden was trying to keep things in one piece.

Every good cause has fundamentalist dickheads who try to coopt it and make it about them.

The actual cap of punishment for repeat offenders is a forced breakup, or “structural remedies”.

That only means the cancer is terminal.
