Yep. I have an uncle who retired from the LAPD after a long career. He told me once that surveys of retired cops showed about 3% had ever used their firearm in a tactical situation (aside from training).

After serving in Iraq over 20 years ago, my brother thought he would become a cop and went to school for criminal justice. When it came time to do ride-alongs with the local cops and staties, he quickly realized they were a bunch of morons whose sole purpose in life was to look tuff and harass people. They had a…

Do you have a plan, then, to fill that void?

Here’s the problem:  At some point, they just are going to have to shoot the rest of us, or the day is coming that the rich’s property is going up -- and, facts be facts, it appears to be happening on a targeted and increased basis lately that the rich are being robbed and worse.

Like I said before...where are the parents in these situations?....

Thank you for posting this.  I was going to do the same.  Any time someone says to salt purge their crawfish, it’s clear that they’re still in the rookie stage of doing crawfish boils.  I’ve done my 13th annual boil now and this article would be laughed at among my crawfish boiling community!

Yes! Sausage and mushrooms are a must-have!

Lobster isn’t mushy…I think you may have been served lobster that was cooked badly.

Note that Portillo’s fries are not vegan: They fry with beef tallow.

If you had “mushy & flavorless” lox, you had shitty lox. 

Have they done everything else? Because everything Star Wars feels pretty similar and often features the same characters or their family.

If it’s mushy, someone did something wrong. Lobster meat shouldn’t be mushy.

Good news/bad news, depending on how you feel about that sketch: It’s incredibly emblematic of the show, with “annoying guy not backing down from his stupidity” being the theme of all (or almost all) of the sketches.

Don’t read their latest article on this.

I’m not sure how Dems think they’ll be able to ‘Civility’ and ‘Work Together’ their way to a solution when their opponents are openly calling for the extermination of all racial and political enemies but hey, gotta present an electable face to that mythical moderate voter that lives in their head, or...fuckin'…

Sorry, the death penalty is barbaric, and you are a bad person for supporting it. There’s no “extra guilty” that justifies it in this one case. If you support it in this case, you also support it in cases where the police coerced a confession, planted evidence, or were just too lazy to do their jobs and grabbed the…

I’m with you on this one. The author’s argument isn’t very convincing here. Like you, I tend to think that many sex scenes are not only gratuitous but also exploitative of the actors involved. Very few sex scenes are actually vital to the narrative, and if a scene isn’t propelling the story forward, then any director…

I hate to be that person, but who the fuck cares how tall a dude is, famous or not? Calling 5’8” humble and “not so imposing” is just stupid. It’s not even that short. I mean, if Ben Shapiro or Joe Rogan were like 4'9", I’d say have at it, but half of these seem like a stretch. Is there a dearth of Heard/Depp or…

I still stand by the renegade ending as the most satisfying end of the four options (as someome who tried the games and didnt like them) having humanity lose but leave behind the information necessary for the next generation of sentient life to prevail is the self sacrifice that a lot of the series narrative has…

I laughed at the life coach update. Literally everyone I know who is a life coach ended up there after some sort of crisis, and it often comes off as more of an attempt to prove to themselves that they know what they are doing with their lives than anything else. (Not too dissimilar to every person I know who hasn’t…
