Their possible intentions are just a guess based on likelihood. This is the real world, some people have harmless plans but some people have the back up plan of “oh and if I encounter someone, I’m gonna fuck em up if I can, maybe kill them, I dont know maybe kill their wife or take their kid”

You literally don’t know. It’s 2am and someone has broken into your house. You need to defend yourself.

A reasonable conversation is highly unlikely to happen, because the unreasonable thing of someone breaking into your house at night.

If killing an intruding person makes you a murderer, okay well then being a murderer is just so broad that I don’t care about its definition anymore.

I guess I’m a murderer then

I think the idea was you could get away with fooling adults by saying it’s just a bunch of fun math games

Rerouting via the Cape: The Scale of the Impact

A Shanghai–Rotterdam voyage via the Suez Canal typically covers approximately 10,500–10,600 nautical miles, taking three to four weeks depending on vessel speed and port scheduling. The Cape of Good Hope alternative adds roughly 3,200 nautical miles and seven or more days at typical liner service speeds — which is a meaningful addition to round-trip voyage time.

That extra week per voyage doesn't just delay individual shipments. It removes vessel capacity from circulation systemically: a ship spending an extra week in transit is a ship that can't load the next cargo that's waiting for it. Across dozens of Asia–Europe services each rerouting simultaneously, the aggregate effect is a significant tightening of effective global vessel capacity — which translates directly into higher freight rates and, with a lag, into tighter domestic used container supply in the US secondary market.

This is some shit someone with a light complexion and/or non-thigh applier would say

TLDW;

Basically it’s not actually a thing, a meme account tweeted about it crashing Twitter that said the owner called it the gay Super Bowl, it really caught on.

The owners of Grindr basically agreed with that and then from there it has stayed in the public conscious.

It’s not entirely false either, as there is a correlation of increase with republican events. It’s difficult to discenrn and at the very least it’s never actually crashed the app.its also just funny to say because republicans are largely homophobic.

Edited: a misspelling

For the majority of people the internet used to be a room, a place you went and accessed a device.

The device wasn’t mobile, we usually didn’t carry around the thick laptops of the time around.

At first using the device would disconnect the phone, and you couldn’t carry it around easily.

As times changed and it’s mobility shifted it became more and more commercially viable and then it was invaded by corporate interests.

Now it’s not just a room, it’s everywhere and it’s allows all sorts of powerful groups to exert influence over every single person that connects with it
