Tasers are, which is open to debate, considered non-lethal so deploying them is an easier choice for an officer. The problem is that it gives officers an excuse to escalate a situation that shouldn’t be escalated in the first place. In this case the taser did not do its job. It most likely didn’t make proper contact.…

That fetus was complicit in her crimes and warrants, and in fact, pulled a knife on the officer. The video won’t show it, but that doesn’t show what the officer saw. 

So the pro-lifers will demand the death penalty for the killing of an “unborn child”, right? They’ll also ban guns as a surgical instrument used in abortions, right?

Again, I don’t think you’re necessarily wrong in your analysis—though, burning enemies who refuse to surrender/submit is categorically different from burning hundreds of thousands of unarmed peasants who’ve already surrendered, and in earlier seasons Daenerys was presented as somebody who regularly insisted on that…

Right but weren’t those sickly lil’ chicken-dragons? I’m talking about big Balerion/Drogon-sized dragons.

I think it could’ve been clearer but I’d still argue it’s all there in the episode and recent seasons. Let’s look at just the last two seasons.

It seems I’m one of the only people who still likes this show now, because apparently the idea that a show whose only long-running theme that rulership by birth is destructive at best and when led by ill rulers is horrifying in totality, ending with yet another ill-ruler with a longstanding history of…

I can’t believe more black people aren’t moving there. Less than an hour drive from Atlanta, but with (I assume) lower taxes and cost of living?! Black people, gentrify Hoschton!

Counterpoint - what kind of Christian uses his/her faith to hate other... ahh, my point fell apart mid sentence. 

Things are different here than they are 50 miles down the road.

I’m sadly not amazed that a small town in GA is racist. I am amazed that a 1500-person town has a mayor AND a city administrator and gets out-of-state applicants for that job. I’m pretty sure my neighborhood has more people that that.  

I’m a Christian and my Christian beliefs are you don’t do interracial marriage.

lol is this like a parody post about dumbass gamers or is this you being a dumbass.

Yeah, I’d definitely rather focus on the fact that she shared, like, a thing implying that grieving parents’ pain was false then the fact that she’s not the best voice actor.

Get someone to teach your kid to to be a respectful person.

Capital One giving out free coffee and snacks is amateur hour. My dry cleaner gives out free hot dogs on the weekend so I grabbed one, got in my car, took a bite and it immediately shat mustard all over my thighs and shorts.  Now THAT is playing the long game bitches. 

I’m turning 34 this year and I never really believed all the people who said taking care of yourself in your 20's is important because your 30's is when shit starts to go wrong and deteriorate. Surely I would have had until my 40's (or even 50's?!) before my body decided to give up on me! Nope. Now I’m stuck in the…

Counterpoint: The Deadcast actually answers the age old question about a tree falling in the forest.

Nearly five months ago, I suffered a severe brain hemorrhage while I was just standing around at a work party. When I collapsed, I fractured my skull.

/leads with a list of things you can never do for the rest of your life, like play hockey or watch Star Wars
