school to prison pipeline. they even make school quite like prison so the kids have an easy transition into incarceration.

perfectly stated. this kind of response to such a minor offense is something i’d expect in a prison, and in that case it would be fucked up nonetheless, but prison is fucked up. why should a high school be like a prison?

there’s also a bias against young people at play, people of a certain age. you see plenty of people here both acknowledging that the officer was wrong and that racial bias led to the inappropriate use of force, but in the same breath saying that she was wrong to not put her phone away. that’s the kind of thinking i’d…

yeah, the gamecube was smart looking as fuck. certainly nothing that generation came close.

this is what the saturn should’ve looked like:

According to media accounts from the time, Schumacher beat and raped the woman in 2010, then tied her to a toddler bed with electrical tape and menaced her with a knife, making gestures as though he intended to slit her throat. After about two hours, the woman was able to free herself and run for help. Court records…

i’ve never seen the movie. i’m just staring and that gif, trying to understand. is that the guy from blue velvet?

whirr is fucking terrible. gloss, honestly, i could listen to once in a very long while. kind of reminded me of the rancid 2000 album, which i pick up, again, once in a very long while.

did the salted licorice taste of cat piss? i had some licorice that was flavored with ammonium chloride. it was some kind of nordic treat. it wasn’t that it tasted bad but that my brainstem reacted to it as if it was a threat to my ongoing survival.

i feel like i was born to do this job.

YEAH, i saw that too and thought, “interesting!”

yeah, but that blonde woman who’s put up on the hook, and she’s grasping at the hook and screaming. i’d rather swim ten-thousand nautical miles through blood.

yeah, it’s annoying that they take a completely unearned advantage — when they were born relative to someone younger than them — and use it as a bludgeon. i mean, still pretty young myself, early thirties, so maybe my view will change, but i hope when i’m old i’ll use the advantages of my experience to lend up and…

slavoj zizek has a lot to say about certain kinds of beliefs that i think describe beliefs about life after death pretty well. they aren’t beliefs that a person holds themselves, and they aren’t beliefs that a person pretends that they hold because they believe everyone else holds them, but instead they’re beliefs…

no one cares about anyone’s reason for having children, but it is a fact that children are necessary, which i think was the point. it is odd that a society, which requires a constant stream of children, should be so averse to seeing one.

i always thought that was weak. that could mean that either god doesn’t exist or that evil doesn’t.

it could also be god genuinely can’t see the difference between an infant dying now versus later.

hey, i’m right there with you (whatever t14 law schools and bulge bracket finance are).

but surely you understand at least somewhat the pressures that lead to that kind of view of college, don’t you?
