I feel this whole case is everything wrong with the justice system (aside from him actually facing consequences). A corrupt cop with a history of violence gets attacked in an overpopulated and understaffed prison where folks are punished instead of rehabilitated.

History is kind of the opposite. When someone says they like history I'll get excited and ask what period is their favorite. If they say "Romans" without any qualifiers like Early Republic or Late Eastern Empire, I get a bad feeling and they usually follow up with "and WWII"

What about the people who work there? Are they trying to make them quit then become homeless and leave the mall too?

I worked as a developer in electronic payments for 5 years and we had to go through a months long process to certify the code with the financial system. My bosses were paranoid of any changes I made (to a silly degree) and we had a silly amount of automated tests.

We were a small startup with an underpaid staff and I'm not sure if more than 1000 people used our software. What they're doing is completely reckless.

Seems like everything is a pronoun these days. Anything can be a pronoun too. Could I even be one?

Not pictured: the giant, shitty looking pile of rubble under them.

They just blasted chunks off the mountain and left the mess behind

It comes from Latin iactare meaning "to cast". Over time the c was dropped as French evolved and the i shifted to a y consonant and we get yeter. Once it was borrowed into English it further changed as the -er was dropped and short e became a long ee following the great vowel shift.

I am lying but most of those bits are facts and I'm actually describing the etymology of jet. Also the proto Indo European ye is hilariously uncanny.

When you're used to seeing the word classist it takes a second to remember a classicist isn't someone who is prejudiced against ancient Greeks and Romans.

Look, I'm sorry I didn't vote in 2016 but I've voted every time since then and started paying attention to local politics. Now I have a protected bike lane next to my neighborhood and the roads aren't full of holes

The IDF must really love killing Palestinians. They can't even stop for a few days. They need an intervention

I love the attention to detail in the armor. It looks straight from 15th century Germany (well, the area eventually known as Germany)

And it took a bunch of labor strikes with brutal crack downs on them to even get it down to 40 hours.
