We all know that the reason you are refusing their visas and recommending they travel on NICOP cards (which they don’t have presently) is because that way they will have no British protection if you choose to arrest them on arrival.
Nothing is more infuriating than hearing SEAL faggots on Rogan speak about their tours in Afghanistan or Iraq. Motherfuckers literally invaded someone else's country with 100 times more advanced weaponry, fighting nearly unarmed people and bragging about it like heroes. These bastards, the lowest of humanity, murdered civilians and children yet get treated like heroes.
Imagine thinking that generals brought PPP and PMLN to power through a massively rigged election to undertake reforms 'never seen before" https://t.co/bRKTRTy244
Everywhere you look there is a gentle solicitation that you relinquish your basic skills and fundamental human knowledge to a robot.
That same robot will charge you as soon as you’re too dumb and out of practice to have any other option but to pay.
Choices.
a 13 year old 9th grader at the gym working his ass off because he's only 4'11... the organization consoled him telling him it's okay, founding father of the organization kept adding centimeters to his height till he was 23 so it's not over.. little fella lit up.. cruel world
When India accidentally wiped out its vultures, half a million people died in five years.
The bird doing zoomies in this video runs the most extreme digestive system in the animal kingdom. Vulture stomach acid sits near pH 1, strong enough to destroy anthrax, rabies, and botulism in the carcasses they eat. A flock strips a cow to bone in about 45 minutes.
India had 50 million of them. Free sanitation at national scale, in a country where religious custom means most cattle die natural deaths and every dead cow becomes a carcass someone has to deal with.
Then the patent on diclofenac expired in 1994. Farmers started using the cheap painkiller on livestock. Trace amounts left in a carcass cause kidney failure in vultures. Within a decade, 50 million birds fell to a few thousand. The fastest collapse of any bird species since the passenger pigeon.
The carcasses didn't disappear. Feral dogs took the vultures' place and brought rabies with them. Rotting remains leached into waterways. In districts where vultures once thrived, human death rates rose more than 4 percent. Economists at Chicago and Warwick put the toll at 100,000 extra deaths a year and $69 billion in annual damages.
So yes, the goofy bird sprinting down the walkway is adorable. It's also a disease firewall that evolution spent millions of years building and one generic painkiller nearly erased in ten.
یہ ویڈیو دیکھ کر دل کانپ رہا ہے کہ کیسے پنجاب میں غریب کو مارا جا رہا ہے
یہ لودھراں کا نوجوان لاہور میں ریڑھی لگاتا تھا کہ پھر مریم نواز کی ٹیم آگئی اور انھوں نے ریڑھی پر پڑا سامان توڑ کر ریڑھی کو ضبط کر لیا
اب یہ نوجوان آنسو بہا رہا ہے لیکن کوئی اس کی فریاد سننے والا نہیں ہے 💔
If you find yourself asking why isn’t the world doing something to stop the genocide in Gaza and you have not spoken up, they are taking your silence as approval. Whether you’ve 2 or 2 million followers speak up FFS!
Silence is complicity.
I will not use the gratuitously rude language you have employed. Your age alone forces me treat you with some courtesy, otherwise you are little more than a bits and pieces dilettante pretending to be an economist with deep insight into what enables economies to grow. Most see you as a wannabe advisor to tyranny. Human flourishing as a holistic project is clearly beyond you. All I said was that the fact that (some, not all) authoritarian East Asian development states achieved rapid growth over time is no guarantee that other authoritarian states will achieve similar growth. I never entered into an argument over what might have fuelled East Asian growth. In fact I implicitly accepted, as a working hypothesis, the premise that authoritarian rule might have aided growth in those countries, though there was clearly much more at play. From Studwell’s How Asia Works to Atul Kohli’s State led Development to Yuen Ang’s How China Escaped the Poverty Trap we are reminded of the complexity that led to growth in East Asia. Key factors, such as the quality of the human capital as well as the depth of state capacity, that were available to the successful East Asians are clearly non-existent in Pakistan. Many a dictatorship in Africa and South America, and Pakistan itself, have been left battered by authoritarian rule. To ease your understanding of my remark kindly note that not every bout of authoritarian rule will be led by a Lee Kuan Yew. Most are likely to be led by a Mobuto or a Pinochet, hugged by superficial number-crunchers like yourself. Of course I am a lawyer and not a development practitioner. Unlike you I don’t pretend to be one. For me economic growth and human dignity are neither binaries nor trade-offs. Certain human rights are non-negotiable. They say war is too important a matter to be left to generals. Likewise human flourishing is too important a matter to be left to economists, much less retired bankers. You have consistently failed to critique, much less condemn, the assault on basic human values underway in Pakistan. This is not surprising. This is the norm for wannabe intellectuals who play it safe: offer technical advice that abstracts from the reality of the tyranny underway and declare periods of oppression to be opportunities to reset the ‘system’. I hope to never run into you.
A gentle reminder that life is temporary & we're 100% leaving - any day, any moment.
If you're drowning in hardships or struggles, take comfort in knowing they'll pass. But if you're wrapped in luxury & comfort, stay grounded, for this, too, is only temporary.
