He would have known they were going to make him take his shoes off and so tried something else instead that would probably have been more likely to work.

Oh?

I don’t think anything is more likely to work.

Ok.

So all the additional security measures that have been added over the years have been pointless, and not a result of us learning from our mistakes. Got it.

just like they aren’t capable of preventing any mass killings

They haven’t had the same reaction to mass killings as they’ve had to terrorist attacks on planes. Nothing changes from those mass killings except we get more thoughts and prayers nowadays. They never made people start taking their guns off (or were able to enforce it) after mass killings.

The only thing that could work is creating an overall situation in society where people are less motivated to do it, not preventing specific acts.

Yea… we are doing the opposite of that right now with the current administration. And now shoes are valid hiding places again…. Yippee-ki-yay

We can speculate about what could’ve happened instead all day, but that doesn’t change the fact that what he actually did was hide a bomb in his shoe, and this would have prevented that specifically.

I’m actually curious what you think would have been more likely to work?

It would’ve prevented the guy we’re both talking about from sneaking a bomb on the plane in his shoe.

I don’t think they’re taking it away now because they don’t think it helps. I think they’re taking it away because people don’t like doing it.

Maybe they think the number of people who will try that again is low. Maybe they have other ways of detecting something like that now. Who knows.

No, there was actually a case years ago (not too long after 9-11) of a man bringing a bomb on a plane in his shoe. Passengers stopped him as he tried to light it on the plane.

IIRC that’s when they started making people take off their shoes. I could be wrong about that part but that’s how I remember it.

Where’s the merch for this name?

Mine have my dogs names on the front and my contact info on the back. I think it’s pretty common.

Or are you talking just the human name on the back? That would be confusing.

This is going to make it so it is no longer beneficial to manufacture in America for some companies.

The defective ones are made by Ankler. The good ones are made by Anker.

Broke silence to say the same thing he said before going silent?

I’ve been asking all this time, if all these people we are deporting are criminals, why the fuck weren’t they already in jail to begin with?

I don’t understand this meme.

You’re still missing the fact that OP has XL selected.

It’s recommending L because OP has XL selected.

And presumably, people who typically order XL end up exchanging the XL for L.

It 100% makes total sense.

They use AI to summarize reviews already, it isn’t far fetched to assume they are also using AI for this recommendation as well.

Yes, but they have to give you what’s on the tag. So even if it runs large they have to give you an L if you ask for an L.

I don’t think it’s that ambiguous. They tell you why it’s recommended. If they get a lot of returns for this item and customers typically end up with the next size down, and lots of reviews say they run big, it makes sense for them to suggest that and tell you why they’re suggesting that.

This is also them telling you this information while letting you know it’s based on other people’s feedback, not coming directly from Amazon themselves.

Recommended size based on millions of orders and reviews, not what size it thinks you are.

It’s saying this item runs big. You have XL selected so it’s recommending sizing down to L.

It’s not that crazy.

So we gave them a nuke abortion?

Are they going into detail about their sex or did they just say they were trying to have a baby?

If it’s only the latter then it’s about as inappropriate as women showing their bare ankles in public and you may be overreacting just a tad.

ETA: please answer this question.

Judge: “I sentence @Nemo@midwest.social to life in jail for making a comment on the internet.”

You: “That’s some bullshit”

Judge: “yes, I agree that’s just meaningless talk”

Look at this condescending ass motherfucker who was telling everyone to go find a robotics event somewhere to snag some free glasses on their way to a protest to save two five dollars. You can get a single pair at Home Depot for five bucks.

Thanks for the tip buddy. I’m sure it will help exactly zero people.

You’re right, if you check Amazon you can get a box of 10 ANSI certified safety glasses for 16.99. So actually less than two dollars.

I originally pulled that number out of thin air, but how much do you think the ones they give out for these robotics events cost? If you tour a manufacturing facility and they pass out OSHA required safety glasses, how much do you think they cost? Probably also less than two dollars.
