Devil’s advocate: The zombie bear on GoT last weekend didn’t look much like a zombie bear while they were doing the filming either.

This seems like not a useful app. Parents who are likely to think they need it are the type who will use it for everything and kids are going to delete it and/or incapacitate their phone when convenient to dodge it.

“Lastly, make sure you only drink bottled water and eat food from sealed containers until a rescue team can get to you.”

That’s what you get for asking, I guess.

What the hell kind of city taxes a street? Is that even a thing?

Actually both major parties are all for police brutality. The difference is that one will lie to you a lot more about that.

No actually I do not remember that. Additionally discriminating against someone based on their political beliefs and actions is completely reasonable. If you’re trying to conflate the viewing public’s idiological preference with racism you’re drawing a classic false equivalency.

Football is entertainment. Winning games is an important part of pleasing the fans, but another part is giving them what they want to see. They do not want to see someone like Kaepernick, who has offended so many of them, play ball. It makes sense from a marketing and brand standpoint to pass on Kaepernick.

I can tell you that police think enforcing smoking ordinances is petty and annoying. Ask any cop and they’re likely to tell you they’re not the “smoke police”.

Kaepernick has made himself toxic for the NFL brand. They know that their market is very patriotic and Kaepernick’s decisions to protest on the football field by kneeling during the national anthem offends them. From a pure business standpoint it doesn’t make sense for any NFL team to sign him. He would have to…

I hope the salespeople at that dealership get embarrassed over this. Kind of makes me want to catfish them if I ever win the lotto and become rich and just roll up with a check for the asking price ready to go and tear it up in front of them, then go buy a Tesla or something.

From another article about this crime spree:

Sure. In the first situation the person with the knife is demonstrating a clear intent to murder the cop. There is no other reason for attacking someone with a knife. That is murder in progress at that point. The shooting them in the head (also a bad target, for the record) would have to be some kind of happy…

I’m pretty sure you could. I’m also pretty sure you would be showing exceptionally poor judgment to do so.

You sound like you’re quite the tactical ninja expert when it comes to where to shoot people and under what circumstances one should. How many people have you confronted?

Tasers don’t cause lasting damage. They just don’t. They leave two little pinpricks in someone and that is far preferable to breaking bones or blasting holes in them.

Intentionally shooting someone in the leg is unconstitutional. It’s “torture”, i.e. “cruel and unusual punishment”. If a police officer ever purposefully shot anyone in an extremity for any reason then you and everyone else in the country would go after them for that crime, and you would be correct to.

Tasers were not put in use until the 90's.

That’s actually not true. Tasers aren’t capable of killing “a significant number” of people even in a five year span.

Well the way they treated the NES Classic and the way they’re treating the SNES Classic, it seems like Nintendo is allergic to money.
