No such thing as a decent pig. ALL cops are bastards.

This is because the institution is corrupt and focusing on the individual actions, motives, and character of individual pigs misses the whole fucking point.

How many good cops does it take to change a lightbulb? Just kidding good cops have never changed anything.

Maybe your talking about Rick Sanchez, Sherlock Holmes, or James Bond because the asshole genius is a trope in media, not real life.

In real life they’re just assholes.

Late in WWII the UK dropped plans to assassinate Hitler because they had figured out that he was militarily incompetent and was afraid his replacement would be more savvy.

This is stupid because most of the people who know who Kirk is, only learned about him upon his death.

I’m pretty online, and didn’t know much about him when he was alive EXCEPT that he was a huge meme.

Fuck 'em. Their bloodline is weak.

You must have been of Microslop for a while if you think frustrating issues on update is a Linux thing. Just last a couple weeks ago, Microsoft released a security update that locked people out of their “C” drive. (In Windows, this is bad)

Browser integration with password managers is overrated. It’s a lot of trouble, breaks all the time, and has security issues. Plus you’re trusting your logins to a third party which makes me sad.

I use a vanilla encrypted DB (KeePass) and just save the logins manually and copy/paste to log in. It’s not that hard.

I read somewhere that there was an app developed by some organisation in a big city to track ODs and help addicts avoid known areas where drugs are adulterated. They had to shut it down when addicts would actually seek out the OD causing drugs using the app like yelp from the upsidedown.

Econ101 does not apply to addiction.

Fuck this headline. I understand click bait, but this is abuse of the literate.

“freindzone” is a self-inflicted wound. Nobody can make you cower in the corner waiting for your “opportunity”. Nobody made you look at friendship with the opposite sex as something that must be suffered so as to be due a reward.

I don’t understand why your complaining. Haven’t your consumer goods fulfilled you to the point of bliss? What’s wrong with you?

Oh, and with niche exceptions, “technology is better now than before” has always been true throughout history even before capitalism was invented. If Adam Smith had only been satisfied with what he had…

The rx6700xt is in your budget if you buy second-hand. This card is the cheapest you can get 12GB of VRAM, and I think that will keep it relevant to new games the longest.

You’ve heard of a “bucket list”, but have you tried Apocalypse FOMO?

Those DNA kits work differently than what you might expect. When they say “you’re 20% German”, what they mean is that you’ve got 20% of the genetic markers they’ve identified in modern people who identify as German.

This might not seem like a big difference, but it is because genetics doesn’t respect political boundaries. Ancestry will not tell you that you’re 60% Texan because “Texas” isn’t a recognized biological origin. Even though people have been there as long as they’ve been in Mexico.

You also have to accept that 20th Century Germans who’ve participated in DNA testing is the absolute standard for what a “German” is.

Nonsense. The idea of “national DNA” is incoherent leftovers from race-theory.

A female guard replied “If he is dead, we’re going to cover it up and he’s going to have an alibi – my officers,” the FBI notes said. The inmate claimed the whole wing overheard the exchange.

My favorite part is not where the phrase “cover up” is explicitly used, it’s the part where the female guard clarifies that it’s “my officers” who are going to get an alibi. As if she was worried their’d be confusion over the pronoun “he’s”.

In context, this reads like a bad SNL sketch.

Your life must be going pretty well if you’ve got the bandwidth to worry about Trump wearing a hat.

I don’t know why an atheist would be seen as less likely to be bigoted than general population. That’s certainly not my experience especially with regards to Islam. I’d argue that anti-theism is a kind of bigotry.

Many famous atheists are just public misogynists and Islamophobes riding the Joe Rogan circuit with Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro. And let’s not forget how many of them were guests at Epstein Island. Richard Dawkins withered under the spotlight of fame like Smegol under the one ring.

There was a time on the Internet when the atheists were the good guys. It was the same time that Elon Musk was cool.

It’s a funny thing. It’s made me realize that being a pacifist or being anti gun is, in a way, almost a privileged position to take. It’s easy to say “I’m anti violence” when your existence isn’t being threatened, it’s a lot harder to stomach as the threats get more real.

Your existence was being threatened but now that you have a gun you’re safe? Sounds like creative writing to me. What was the threat? How did you counter that threat with a gun? Was their a big confrontation? Did you have to put a motherfucker down?

If you read the article, only the victims were from Utah. The murderer is from Iowa.
