Ok, sorry, to be more precise: Approximately 60% of its fresh fruit, and 38% of its fresh vegetables are imported. Averaged out, that’s 49% of total consumed fresh produce being imported for a population of 342 million people. So yes, it is ‘a lot.’ Google is free btw

Charges dropped against Philadelphia officer who fatally shot Eddie Irizarry at traffic stop

I can tell you with certainty that a knife inside a car with the doors closed and windows rolled up is not immediately deadly or even dangerous to anyone standing outside of the car. Unless of course the doors opened and the knife was brought out of the car, THAT would be deadly to the officer. But that isn’t what happened. And unless I’ve missed something, no one here has said or implied that the man with the knife was “innocent”

He was picking his brother up from a friend’s house. It wasn’t where he lived and he was unfamiliar with the area. If you search for the original news stories from when the event took place, more detail is given.

Russian parliament bans gender reassignment surgery for trans people
“Hi! I’m the news! Today, the Russian government did a bad thing!”

This comment isn’t meant to trivialize the action, it’s just becoming almost comical how much the Kremlin is taking a dump on human rights.

Correct. This is not specific to TikTok, and speaks more to the social media paradigm shift as a whole.

Trump delivers jaw-dropping and slurred Iran address that offers no end in sight to unpopular war
Reply in thread
He also said 2 to 3 weeks 4 and a half weeks ago. So I’d say given the current trend, ‘no end in sight’ is probably a realistic evaluation.

The man in question (who is dead) was neither accused nor convicted of being, as you said, a thief, a rapist, of a murderer. So which of those criteria do you think they are defending because in this instance (as per YOUR OWN WORDS), it’s none of them.

“And that doesn’t even factor in his erratic driving and going the wrong way.” All of the crimes you mentioned here are basic traffic violations in Pennsylvania and would be punishable by a single ticket.

It’s really worrisome that you keep repeating the rhetoric of “nothing of value was lost that day.” A human life was lost that day. A mother and father’s son was lost that day. So you just believe that because he committed a crime (which, by the way, his only official crimes were traffic violations. Having a knife in his hands in his own car is not a crime), his life doesn’t have value? So should every criminal in our justice system just be put to death? Are you actually a sociopath? Nvm, I know the answer.

Recently picked up Chrono Trigger - Amazing Game!
It remains, to this day, one of my very favorite games of all time. Top tier story, characters, gameplay mechanics, and musical score. Not to mention almost infinitely replayable. So much value packed into a single purchase. Enjoy!
