Female tourist takes down phone-snatcher in Argentina (i.imgur.com)

This is the moment a quick-thinking female Russian tourist took down a phone-snatcher in Argentina. Video posted by journalist Gonzalo Benitez shows the incident on November 9 when two thieves snuck up on the 33-year-old woman while she was on a bike waiting at a junction in the capital Buenos Aires. As they grab her device, she manages to wrestle one of them off the bike and hold him until Good Samaritans rush to her aid and help restrain him until the police arrive. Officers were also able to trace the offender who fled on the bike and discovered 10 cell phones at the property where he was arrested.

Haha, it was a well-wishing, short for 'I hope you have a nice day,' not a command. Have a nice day.

how could i have a nice day? i’m living in a fascist takeover.

I can't necessarily make a nice day happen for you, I just hope your day goes well to the extent it can.

i do appreciate the well wishing….
but, you can wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one gets full faster.

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

And to shit into that hand, first one must have a wish to do so. A wish is precisely as real as fascism or anarchism, and a necessary but not sufficient precursor to any of the above.
