A homeless guy slept in public too many times, and the police decided to arrest him.

They handcuffed and chained him then drove fast and slammed the brakes on purpose with him in the back of the van. That broke his neck - paralyzing him from the neck down. Both legs needed to be amputated as well.

For falling asleep in a grass lot...

I was on reddit for 11 or 12 years. Commented several times a day. Voted 100 times or more per day. Left mid June and haven't been back once. Now I do that shit here instead.

This just makes me respect him more.

Dreamcast was a fantastic console, but it didn't have much success in the US due to poor marketing decisions.

The fact that Waltz recognized its value back then shows good judgement IMO.

The Republican Senate broke the judicial system under Trump. They blocked Obama from appointing judges and then when Trump was in office they appointed TONS of their own shitty, unqualified judges.

Trump literally broke the NFL back around the 80s. Nobody would sell him a team because all the real billionaire owners hated him. He started a second league so he could have a team, poached players, and then broke both leagues on purpose. It's been a while so the details are fuzzy, but I believe they had to cut a season short or even skip a season. He fucks everything up, and at least half the time it's on purpose.

Not to be confused with the Church of Satan.

The Satanic Temple is way better.

Just putting it out there for anyone who doesn't know.

That's probably not a bad approach in general, but sometimes shit matters.

Please don't roast me here, but why is wanting to know what someone looks like without makeup such a bad thing? I've never even thought about it before, so please don't take this as advocating for it. It just doesn't immediately occur to me what the problem would be.

I get why it's gross to have an app to remove clothing, but makeup feels like a different category.

What about an app that changes or removes hair? Or one for sunglasses/jewelry?

Are they all gross in some way that I'm missing? Is it creepy to remove makeup from photos but not creepy to remove earrings?

Most people can't escape. It's very hard to become a citizen of another country. Plan B should not be where to live. But we definitely should have a plan B.

We're annexing them through conservative news sources instead. It's slower, but quite effective.

Ok but what race is the mayor? Based on Baltimore that seems to be really important in situations like this.

Besides. Ukraine gave up nukes because we promised to protect them. There's a tremendous cost to going back on our word for soooo many reasons.

Really feels like MAGA voters themselves are a threat to America. I don't say that lightly and am willing to be persuaded.

If it really is the case... What do we do about them? They don't want to be educated on the issues and are immune to shame. What's left to do?

Economic solutions are preferable to more aggressive options. Any ideas?

Would have had to nuke the filibuster to make it where they could pack the court. That required yes votes from all Democratic senators (only because not a single fucking Republican would vote for it), and Manchin and Sinema refused to do it.

Nothing Biden could have done. We needed more Democrats in Senate seats. That's the game though. Republicans do their best to make us feel like voting doesn't matter, then we don't turn up - making it easier for Republicans to say the government doesn't work.

Not to mention it's just a matter of time before a teacher snaps or a kid steals their gun and shoots someone. Armed teachers can only ever do more harm than good.

They give it so much oxygen and also never fully call out how crazy shit is. It's all understatement when it comes to conservatives' behavior and plans and then they over hype any minor issue the progressives have. Looking at you, NY Times...

Don't these media outlets understand they will be among the first to get thrown into prison camps when conservative dictatorship and revenge is in full swing?
