I walked in on my SO watching the last episode and what the judge says to him in that trial - wishing him luck....we were like “wtf?”.

Thanks, maybe I’ll give it another go. I approached it from the perspective of the expectations given to me by my co-worker.

Thank you. I have a work colleague who’s obsessed with how absolutely fascinating Bundy is...

lol, for some reason I always find it comedic when Pique knows the game is won and steams forward. He’s just fucking around with that little one-two pass to Suarez.

Haven’t heard that term before so I looked it up - we call it Blackbirding and yeah was what I was talking about.

...or the islanders who came to work in the sugar cane fields of Queensland for which an actual “White Australia” policy was adopted to kick them back out again...

I believe every fucking person should at some point in their young lives work in the service industry...the skills you pick up and the things you learn about the other humans you share society with, are lessons for life.

Story says he was drunk and listed as transient. Probably an unstable guy looking to exert some modicum of power in the world - thought a fast food worker would be a pushover.

Yeah I kinda noticed that guy getting him his money immediately and wanted him to tell the guy to fuck off, but while we can praise the beatdown lady all we want, tie-guy probably would have got rid of this lady without a fight in the first place. I’m not saying she had to take any shit or it’s her fault, I’m saying…

Young service employees who didn’t have the skills to help it before it got the the point where this tape starts rolling, wouldn’t have had the wherewithal to know what to do when in a split second a fight broke out - they did get in there and pull her of him.

But this wasn’t some immature person being pathetic when handling rejection. This wasn’t some young people shit where some dude is begging and crying outside the girl’s door and needs to be moved on. I’d believe those sorts of cases are common. In this case someone was sending unsolicited messages and threats about…

Wish they would discount it on my side of the world.

Even BF4 Hardcore mode was nothing like twitch shooters, so I don’t know why you’d use that comparison. Those are point and click games in comparison and I remember playing COD rather un-fondly because it doesn’t make intuitive sense to casual players like me.

This. What fucking losers work at that office.

Yeah, go read up on what Bush did in its entirety and get back to me. People like me believe the Saddam’s, Noreaga’s and Bush’s of this world deserve each other, and it’s an opinion informed by not just reading up on the popular “good” wars and interventions - but people like you obviously just read the facts and…

While I agree with you in principle - it seemed Khashoggi himself was an access journalist of sorts himself and only became a dissident because the people he was close to in the SA royal family lost out in MBS’s power grab/purge.

I think it’s implied that the criticism of access journalism is not just about the access but the types of stories access journalism actually are - they become propaganda.

Just no. The Bush Clan are monsters who’s two reigns brought death and destruction to Central America and the ME. They don’t deserve to be humanised. Bullshit journalists like this can go spend time with the families of their victims rather than whinge about being accused of being part of the problem.

I don’t think he was talking just about MSM, I think he’s an old school prick who is used to a world where the establishment (ie the powers structure of rich white men) control the narrative.

Also, while I do admit I’m being a snob here and quite willing to be seen as an arrogant jackass for my utter contempt for War Stories, I find the lack of acclaim for War Stories beyond Battlefield players/fans, to be quite telling. It’s not like the gaming world has ever been abuzz with talk of this great take on…
