Being a cop means different things in different countries. In most of Europe, or Australia, cops are better trained in de-escalation simply because if things get heated, or someone is, or is likely to become aggressive that person is more likely to go after someone other than the cop, or harm themselves....because…

Ownership by what standard? If you buy an NFT, and display that NFT anywhere on the internet, nothing is stopping anyone from using print screen, or the snip tool to make a copy. Change a pixel, crop it a bit, change the color palette imperceptibly and hey, look at that it’s something “new” post it anywhere you want,…

Paper money is backed by the government, the us economy and it’s backed by the banking institutions, which trade and exchange that currency with all the other currencies of the world. You get that money by doing something tangible. You work on a farm, you sell your car, you work a pole (to pay for college, of course)…

I genuinely don’t care if laptop clocks in at 10 pounds if it means getting to enjoy a large screen and meaningful performance boost. I’m old enough to remember the very first laptops, which clocked in between 10-20lbs, sporting the cutting edge tech of double digit CPU speeds and HUNDREDS of kilobytes of memory. If…

It’s less to do with falloff after two seasons, and more to do with increasing costs post season 2. Even if a show fares well for the first season, it doesn’t mean season 2 is going to continue the momentum. If season 2 keeps that momentum going, then all the various flavors of talent have considerably more bargaining…

While i always enjoyed Ruby Rose in pretty much anything she’s been in, Batwoman just pissed me off early on. I don’t recall the quote verbatim but it was something about the batsuit only being perfect after being modified to fit a woman.

The level of conceit in that statement is just mind boggling and all but demands…

The best (and most pain in the ass thing) my wife insists on doing for our garden every year, whenever we go to pick mushroom in the forest, we collect however much a hatchback trunk holds in soil. We pick mushrooms several times a week at minimum, so this adds up quickly. We have a 30x80ft (2400sqft) garden outside…

And the over correction continues.
Sick leave....kind of encompasses, ya know, all the health related reasons preventing you from coming into work. Disclosure shouldn’t be required, nor should DISCRIMINATION be celebrated.
Make no mistake, that’s what this is, because you’re a woman, and everything is just so difficult…

The point here is that while free speech doesn’t bar you from consequences...wide acceptance also doesn’t make you correct, and consequences aren’t applied justly.

Disagree that all police are violent trash? You’re inciting violence.
Disagree with any of the pro-trans party lines, or criticize anything about even one…

So what you’re saying is that the billionaires, who are only billionaires because they own significant portions of stock in valuable companies, would never be able to to liquidate their stocks at the full value everyone uses to vilify them and the fact that they aren’t using said wealth to solve the worlds problems?

Wow…

How about “got outraged over others lack of being able to make any distinction between accusations and actual guilt while all nuance and context is completely ignored in service of fueling the outrage machine”
Every accusations should be believed in so far that it’s investigated. That’s it. Accusations are not proof.…

Whether anyone likes it or not, responsibility is absolutely on consumers.

Companies continue to pump out plastic bullshit, because consumers continue to buy it. Bitching about it as you’re handing them your money on a steady and consistent style isn’t the act of rebellion you idiots have convinced yourselves it is.…

No...you don’t expect “some unpleasantness” when you, yourself, make a choice of your own free will to seek employment as a content moderator.

On the internet.

You should expect to see the absolute worst of a society which is already an outspoken, loud and proud cesspool of vile actions and wanton ignorance.
Really,…

Why should they donate their money?
How many millions, billions or trillions of dollars get squandered each year by governments and various charities while all the biggest problems of modern life continue not only remain, but get increasingly worse with every passing minute? 

Why would anyone do that though? One thing this little blog has been giving consistent coverage too is all the toxic fandoms floating around. So why would anyone who has busted their ass over multiple decades, while enjoying just the most outlandish amount of luck say “hey, thanks for supporting me, but have you seen…

The bill restricts teaching kids K-3 about same sex issues.
That’s it.
This hinges on the fact that some people don’t want their 5 year old being browbeaten into understanding the nuances of my two daddies fisting each other being an act of loving devotion.

Sex ed....where this kind of stuff would actually be covered,…

If his goal was only to “ruin peoples games” he wouldn’t have posted a video, using his real identity, breaking down the method of how it’s accomplished.

Yes, the publisher already has your money, so they really have no reason to fix anything...unless people start making a very loud and very public stink about it.…

Meanwhile...accusations off racism have become, almost cliché at this point.
If you are a PoC
Who hasn’t gotten what they want
while quantifying that want as equating to “deserve”
well....it must be a racism!

It’s as exhausting as it is transparent. We’re left living in world in which, we’ve spent decades hearing that…

You greedy, self centered, racist pieces of shit.

Environmental destruction, isn’t a fucking racial issue. Poor communities are more impacted by climate change. White people living in poverty outnumber blacks in poverty by nearly 3-1. Citing statistics, equate to greater need.

Want an example? Bill Cosby claims he was…

Great. Look at how ubiquitous normal drones have become. From kids, to photographers to film crews all the way up to fleets of them for delivery purposes.

The world is supposed to be removing fossil fuels from daily life, not trying to make polluting versions of shit we already have.
