More money could help me do things i want to do, sure, but the general state of the world is a bigger complaint of mine.

Okay, bud. Keep thinking you maintain some moral superiority while defending literal violent criminals.

No one here is defending cops

~Peaf~

It's incredible how brainwashed corrik is.

How do actual first world countries restrain people they believe to be violent? I wonder.

~Peaf~

I want mandatory vaccines, yes. There I am in the picture.

Yinz finally learning that arguing with a corrik about decorum is like arguing with a stillers fan about who the best qb is

it's affecting the rest of Seattle as police response time is dramatically up thanks to not having access to the station. still, give it a full week and things will be in a situation that demands cops.

Did you miss the part where the cops abandoned the station voluntarily, hoping to bait the public into burning it down, and are only now upset that that didn't happen? The delayed response you're concerned with is caused by deliberate police incompetence and has nothing to do with the current status of the Chaz

I had a ton of fun playing as fiora but then. Well.

I was feeling so-so with the battles until i got destroyed by a gang of level 14 mechs outside the refugee camp. I guess i wasn't using my skills properly?

And then the first time trial thing, when i was level 18, was a very miserable experience. Miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss oh look an attack connected, on repeat.

Remember that the person that primaried King did so on the grounds that he was ineffective and not enough of of a Trump Ally after he said the quiet part out loud and got stripped of his committee assignments.

Like, yes, good that the literal white supremacist is gone, but I get the feeling that the person that primaried him is just better at keeping it quiet.

I recall an article a few years back regarding Spencer or one of that ilk, that was basically "hey just because he's a dapper and well-spoken nazi doesn't mean he's not a fuckin nazi."

The center's obsession with "civility" really grinds my gears

Yeah it's kinda weird but if they're ok with it then sure, let them live their lives

The ONLY time a cop has helped me is on Jewish holy days when they manage traffic around the synagogue and make sure Jews don't get run over.

They didn't help us after the Tree of Life shooting (note - same city as where it happened!), and we had to pay for our own private security afterwards.

Oh shit, i do need to get murder by numbers. Thanks for the reminder!

I find this game difficult to play in handheld mode (and the handheld resolution being 540p doesn't help its case) so just like every other switch game I play it docked 99% of the time

I haven't been able to set up my entertainment center since I'm getting my floors refinished, and I've only played it on handheld. It's fine for short stints, but the graphics really do look worse with every passing minute.

It's a wonder to me that we're not having a larger conversation about ensuring election validity for this fall. The chances of him nicely giving up power when he loses are rather low, wouldn't you say?

Wow. Nice job, dude

I actually really enjoyed Legendia, the plot was stupidly convoluted and I can't name a single villain for you, but it was still fun.

roles that we actually want the police to be fulfilling as well.

This is where our disconnect is. I don't want the police, as they currently exist, to even have a single role.

~Peaf~

That's very fucked up. Glad things have mostly worked out for you, besides all the time and energy wasted on the bullshit.

I'm hearing that FL,CA, and TX had some of their worst pandemic days since the start of it all, so things aren't looking very promising. I'm mentally preparing myself for another lockdown in July.

Also whoever came up with the idea to notify the player with a little exclamation point to signify when a directional move will work deserves a raise.

Was that not in the base game!? It's my favorite part of the UI

Would agree that it's gotten better as it goes. S3 is definitely the best of the three so far.

She-Ra's the better show yeah.

Agreed

In Pittsburgh it makes sense, I don't know the exact histories of other cities so I can't say for certain there. But it wasn't that long ago that here we displaced thousands of black residents near downtown, told them that we'd rebuild the houses we tore down to make room for a new hockey stadium, and then... backed out of the deal and told them to buzz off.

Mario is fortunate that he only got a little bit of paint, honestly.

NBIceMan already covered a lot of the reasons, but for me as a kid I adored the bug catching game, the mystery of the unown, and how large they really made the world feel. I must've played through the game at least ten times.

Pretty thoughtful thread on the similarities and differences between abolishing the police and reforming them for the reformers skeptical of abolition as a goal

Hang on, weren't our right wingers here all up in arms before the 2016 election about how the government was wrongly calculating unemployment figures?

We shouldn't defund police. In fact, we should pay them better. Attract more people to the job so that we get good police officers. What we should do, though, is demilitarize the police.

Sorry, my eyes rolled so far into the back of my head that I may never be able to see again

Imagine being told to retire for posting an opinion about a question asked. An opinion that literally isn't offensive in any way at all. Just something disagreed with.

I think it's great that we have the Moral Police here to tell people what they can and can't be offended by. Keep it up, corrik, you're doing great.

Obligatory fuck the police

It is abhorrent that he thinks those actions disrespect the flag, yes.

My only previous exposure to xenoblade was playing xbc2 for a few minutes, this feels very different. And no kosmos.

I only started xbc last night. There's a lot of systems and a lot of jrpg to it. Battles are odd with the auto attacking but it's not bad and I expect it'll click for me more as more advanced abilities open up. Voice acting seems fine.

I feel like i watched day9 spend an hour in the character creation for this game 8 years ago and then never heard about it ever again

I got to level 9 last night, doing a lot of the quests around the colony.

This sure is a jrpg, huh.

So, you agree the business owner who shot the African-American protestor should have walked! Okay! I figured you would have been on my side on that one at least!

Ah I misunderstood you, sorry for jumping to the conclusion. Since the conversation was regarding the officers, I thought the business owner in question was the one who called the police over the counterfeit bill. There's no world in which he should be liable for the police going way too far with their actions. Agreed?

I am unsure why they didn't charge the Omaha business owner in the shooting death to let a jury decide as well.

I know you're dense but this is low even for you

~Peaf~

I'd hazard to say that any cop who wakes up these days and is ready to stand against the protestors is a bad cop.

Cities could just stop sending out cops. They're not needed!

Am I missing something or is Bernie's list basically "Do what we're supposed to be doing now, anyway, but "better." "

I'm not sure that's going to fix anything.
