Likely to protect the cop/department too, since he shot at his own car that already had a disarmed, detained suspect inside. He very nearly killed someone that was already a non-threat. If the body cam footage got out it might make people think their cops are negligent or improperly trained! /ghasp

His greatest political opponent just "went missing" (from the prison he was being held in) and "nobody knows where he is now." Russians have been watching their population get ground into meat by what he originally called "a military exercise" that's been going on over six times the time estimate that he set, and he's actively making it so nobody can leave Russia without smuggling themselves out.

He wouldn't still hold office if he was playing fairly, so yes, he is that weak domestically. Get fucked, Vladolf Putler.

Because the NFL has way too much money, industry-wise, to have any acceptable reason to not pay people.

There, I think that's a good starting point on explaining the infuriation.

Not sure how this is a shitpost, this is the most accurate interpretation I've ever seen of D&D shenanigans!

Unfortunately for us Americans, the railway industry was privatized long ago, and they consistently lobby for things to only move in their favor.

Somehow, some way, RDR2 was a finalist for Steam's 'Labor of Love' award. I was shocked.

For anyone unaware, the Labor of Love award is for games that "came out a while back, but keep getting better through updates." (ie No Man's Sky, Cyberpunk, etc)

And pretending imperial measurements are better than metric!

"DJ" Khalid. I've heard that he's actually a very talented musician. I've never been shown proof that the claims are true.

I've been censored/shadowbanned in a couple .ml instances for calling out their overzealous comment-nuking mods. Not even political in nature, just seeing threads where 80-90% of the comments are 'removed by moderator' and commenting how suspicious it was.

Then they removed that comment, and after taking a screenshot of the new comment calling out that, I got shadowbanned and can't even vote there anymore.

If only there was some kind of book, created decades ago, with a list of words, in alphabetical order, and what each word means in different contexts.

If only such a book was added to a worldwide database that anyone can access from any kind of computer, so that anyone can use it at any time.

Or, hear me out, he grows up resentful of all who lord their undeserved power over him, like billions of other children already do?

SLAMS!

Eggman is his actual name though. When it was brought to America it was localized as 'Robotnik' without the creators consent.

As far as the creator/developers are concerned, Robotnik is the 'stupid moniker,' as you put it.

As a non-deaf person, I came in here looking exactly for your comment. Reading the post, I was confused as to how deaf people even enjoy music. You told me exactly the things I wanted to understand in a very good, and even relatable way. Thank you!

Bruh it wasn't just an accident. This was the presidential motorcade and secret service. Literally everybody in a 10-block radius knew who was there, and whether they had permission to be there.

This person drove their car into the motorcade, and then kept going. Secret service's job is to protect the president, and as far as anybody knew, this was someone after the president. They weren't harassing some idiot that was driving drunk, they were pursuing and engaging a very real potential threat to the leader of the nation.

I like how through these comments, you've called other users "stupid Americans" and you don't even know anything about the event in question. Good job kid.

Low hanging fruit tempts more people, more easily. He's just a really easy to hate, last decade it was Zuckerberg, this decade it's Elon.

I just hope the next person to steal the spotlight is less insufferable.

Idk if it's actually a lemmy.ml thing or what, but coming from lemmy.world, every time I see a post from .ml, like half of the comments have been deleted by moderator(s). In general, .ml seems to have really heavy handed censorship and it gives me a really bad perception of .ml overall.

In theory, the way the US was set up as a nation, the Judicial branch of the government and the Legislative branch are supposed to stop things like that from happening.

In practice, bribes talk better than speeches or facts.

As much as I respect your argument; the Romans. Or any civilisation really. It literally has always been that way.
