Cut off the supplies and they’ll either surrender or starve to death. In this case, they pretty much did both.

This is a dumber take than the original post.

Could be worse. I’ll allow the Declaration of Independence to explain:

It wasn’t a battle. It was a siege.

Jezebel Should Put More Thought Into Its Posts Day

But the current flag was used during segregation.

Law of averages. One game with one kid surrounded by 100 adults and one ball flies toward them, low chances of a kid getting hit. But, 100 games with a kid surrounded by 100 adults and 10 balls fly in their direction, chances of a kid getting hit go up. With all the baseball games being played and all the kids in…

Is there not also something that with that about how it is presented? Like how you aren’t necessarily culpable with whatever you agree to with Apple’s terms and conditions because they’re so long and ridiculous and no one reads it. So in this case, it’s on the back of the ticket, in tiny print, no one is ever told…

Because they didn’t. Whoever was sitting in that seat was going to get blasted by the foul ball. The child suffered more serious injuries than an adult probably would have, but that doesn’t excuse the inherent danger of that seat being exposed in the first place.

If you have “hey, Siri” activated on your phone, the phone is constantly listening for those words, meaning it hears everything. It’s not at all unreasonable to think an app like Instagram or Facebook, which owns Instagram, is able to tap into that and then put ads on your feed related to what you were talking about…

I was a projectionist in the early 2000s and getting the reels out of order was always a fear I had. It’s really not an easy thing to do so whoever put it together had to work at it. Also projectionists or managers usually, but not always, watch the movie after it’s been assembled to make sure this and other mistakes…

I worked at a media start-up run by a woman who, week after week, found excuses to not pay her staff. As a freelance copywriter, I briefly reported to a man who called me “too emotional” for seeking clarification on feedback that was contradictory. As a journalist, after two years of bringing in high traffic for…

That’s his standard response to everything:

He’s such an idiot. He more than most should understand that when a reporter knows something - on the record or not - the only thing they want is to find a way to make it reportable. All they need is to get people who were in the room to say “yes, that happened” when prompted by the reporter.

The biggest dispute the paper I used to work for ever had with an interview subject was when they say said “can I go off the record” and without waiting for a response or acknowledgement of the request, just said what they wanted to say, which was recorded, because he didn’t wait for the reporter to agree and turn off…

She’s hoping he either gets voted out or Democrats gain a majority in the Senate.

It’s actually a better opportunity to not be. Debate coverage has a way of making everyone on TV say the same damn thing as everybody else over and over again. They will all declare a “winner” and they will all choose the same one - they always do - and will do this for each night. They will essentially tell all the…

Well, that whole premise is based on a lie. The only way you get to “I won’t get out of bed for less than ...” place is because for years you worked to build up your credibility and value and now you can make demands like that. For the average person, they’ll just say OK and find someone else who will.

The Second Amendment is about a nation that didn’t have a standing army wanting its citizens to provide for its defense in the event of invasion by a foreign power. That’s the “being necessary to the security of the free state” part.

Not just by strangers, but on the street as part of an abduction or robbery or something like that. Definitely not part of something that starts as consensual as goes too far or when you’re too drunk to consent or something else of that nature.
