thnking about it, this is could be the actual reason they are doing it.
follow me down a thought here.
They see websites like twitter that don't have a dislike button, just like, share(rertweet in this case), and comment. They also see that in these cases people that would normally hit the dislike button are FORCED to heavily interact with the material by posting a reply if they want to express their negative opinion of it, furthering total interaction by giving more comments to interact with AND putting more people in the comment section of a post to see those more comments to then interact with, giving more total time for people to be exposed to more ads in the sidebars that have long enough to "cycle" to the next ad, giving them more money and potentially generating more interactions total, as in multiple reply comments to other comments and also posting their own comment, that would have just been a single interaction, disliking the video and clicking away.

“The 39-year-old was arrested for defrauding the 35 women after pretending to be serious about relationships with them.
He reportedly targeted single women and began each relationship with the suggestion that marriage would be on the cards.”
-from the article in the post

the algorithm already dooesnt care about likes and dislikes, it seems them as the same thing, an "interaction."
Its counted the same as someone commenting as well, it counts as "an interaction" which is measured against the amount of views it has to get a ratio of "how interactive the video is" which is part of what decides if a video gets pushed out to more reccomended tabs, along with metrics like "how often do people that are recommended the video actually click on it" and "how much time do people spend watching this video as well as what percentage of the video do people watch before clicking off."
The important take away from this being that dislikes dont matter as a dislike, theres no difference between liking and disliking a video already.

its a variant of the ak-12
the ak-12 is an AK series rifle chambered in 5.45x39
the ak-15 is the same gun chambered in your more traditional AK cartridge of 7.62x39

Honestly Goku isn’t even THAT powerful when your basic scale of “how stupidly overpowered is a character” is based on comics like squirrel girl and cosmic ghost rider, it’s just the most widely popular and therefor has the most dick measuring contests to validate obsession with a given bit of fiction.

this doesnt, however, apply to officers of the law. the conduct of officers is, as with the above, variable by state and county and city and such however, you'll basically never find a situation in which an officer is required to retreat like the above for civilians, and generally officers have the allowance for deadly force to be applies in a situation where, even when appearing to be in a state of retreating, a violent suspect that has showcased a threat to lives is not submitting to arrest.
The logic being that, they could easily end up in a "house siege" situation where the threat enters a home or office or whatever inhabited location and causes risk to body and life of the people inside, taking them as hostages, harming them in an attempt to get away or secure a means of violence, etc. Famousone mentioned the situation in which them running for a vehicle could be housing a weapon, the vehicle itself is also an extremely deadly weapon, even just a car chase could kill a bystander.

just for further information regarding this
a civilian generally has a "duty to retreat" when engaged in a hostile situation. Deadly force is only authorized in a couple situations, depending on the state those generally include, having no where to retreat, retreating being blocked for some reason, someone else's life being at risk such that them retreating would allow said other person to be potentially killed, etc
some states have laws like "you are not expected to retreat out of your own home" or laws like "your car is an extension of your home, you do not have to retreat from it" allowing for defense rather than retreat in such situations as well.
further, if the person that was causing the threat to your body and life retreats or otherwise ceases to become a threat to your body and life or the body and life of others there is basically no situation deadly force is allowed. Shooting someone in the back is basically a slam dunk case for any prosecutor to turn a murder charge.

is it implying that the girl being spoken about assumed she had done something special or especially skillful or quality because her partner "laid down and got shakey" after completion, with the further implication being that she did not, in fact, do anything special and that her reasoning fails for the reason that "laid down and got shakey" is a standard reaction to completion regardless of the quality of what lead to it?

What is freedom? 4 comments

by this standard Italians are the only truly free humans.
there was an italian court ruling some time ago that let a college professor off for masturbating in front of his students in class, the stuf i read about it saying that there was clarifications to it in the documentation basically making public masturbation anywhere legal as long as the person isnt purposefully going somewhere that young children frequent for the exrpess purpose of a minor witnessing it, adults arent protected.
Idk if this legal precedent stuff is valid anymore but i do remember reading about this when it happened.

also the nazi's were in a losing state already when the US joined the war, the US just nailed their coffin with a lot less lives lost than would have been without the influx of fresh soldiers, supplies, and money.

this is a fairly old story, from what i remember reading the artist that made it refused to take any compensation for the statue, i vaguely remember a couple different spinnings of how the child broke it, i know i remember hearing the child climbed the rope to try to hug it as well as heard that the child climbed the rope to look at it closely and fell on it.
the artist did say basically that he didnt blame the kid because he didnt intend to break it.

Let me take your money. You can be happy without it 5 comments

just to give some extreme example in regards to this post
there was once a successful streamer by the name of reckful.
He committed suicide last july. One of the more "fitting the idea the post is speaking of" things he had espoused in his career was the idea that, he wished he wasn't so successful, that he wasn't making so much money. The lack of actual need to do anything, being successful enough that he literally never NEEDED to do anything ever again in his life, removed the vast majority of his motivations and was very likely one of the many things that collected together to cause his suicide.

yea, the implication is that the original meme, hence the watermark being still there midway in the image, was posted at a time by an american that would imply that the person reading the image is in an american time zone.
I will say that this doesnt make much scene tho, realistically this image should show slices of the US with slices of canada above and all the countries below with parts of brazil cut off

what im speaking of is schools taking a manditory yearly bill from the parents that you couldnt opt out of to pay for the potential chance that the student might decide to get lunch, it assumes they get lunch daily and as i said, cant opt out of it, certain family would qualify for it to be free through your bog standard federal stuff but otherwise its unavoidable

it not being mandatory to pay isnt a universal thing, even in the states
its not uncommon for schools to take money from all of the students regardless

it wouldn't completely solve the problems but it would do a damn sight to help, after fixing power generation we'd need to fix power storage procurement, strip mining for lithium is disastrous and we need a better way than "ruin the ecosystem of X location nearly permanently for batteries thatll last a decade at most"
then theres all the issues with water pollution and nature burning for farmland and companies being perfectly happy to get fined for fucking up the ecosystem of the area near their buildings because its a smaller fine than the money they save not doing it the legal ethical way and etc etc

I know that one like, really old cultural reasoning against any sex that isnt "penis in vagina" and masturbation is that its a "waste of resources" in that it wastes what could have been a pregnancy on frivolous "enjoyment" and therefor was considered bad but i dont know if that applies to any asian cultures.
I've read in the past actually that such is what the bible is primarily referring to with "sexual immorality."
