@icedquinn Nobody wants #Israel to bomb children, that's kinda the point of #Hamas using human shields lol
But, calling out violations of international law is not the same as supporting #Hamas, which rapes Jews as a "war" tactic, targets civilians specifically (which the #IDF does not generally do as part of their strategy), and has a mission of killing all the Jews and destroying the #USA as well. You won't find a single NPC at those college protests who will condemn #Hamas.
Policy idea: if a police officer causes damage to property or causes injury, the police department must bear all relevant costs for repairs or healthcare, and must receive equivalent healthcare as cops do
@icedquinn To be fair also, with the dwindling amount of third places, you'll also not find many other places where there will always be tons of people, except maybe like a #Walmart
Apparently #Marvel retired the original skull logo for #ThePunisher because it was being used by alt right extremists.
Are they really that surprised that a pro America white terrorist is relatable to alt right groups? I've only watched the #MCU#Netflix shows, but he was never portrayed as any sort of hero.
@sun@icedquinn@vriska Yeah it's tough, it's murder but most of the people he killed technically deserved it (slight spoilers but he murders gang members in #Daredevil S02 and corrupt military officials in #ThePunisher S01)
He didn't need to kill the gang members at all but I get why he killed those military officials, they were so corrupt they would have been able to get themselves out of jail in any situation
@icedquinn@vriska@sun Well, he doesn't really make sense in most superhero contexts. He has no superpowers beyond being "really good". I kept having to pinch myself while watching #ThePunisher because it didn't feel like it was #Marvel-related at all, even with #Daredevil cameos.
I don't think that the #MCU could or would do anything without characters who have superpowers. I think the only time they've done this is #Hawkeye.
@why@icedquinn@vriska@sun True. I'm noticing this problem as I'm going through the #Marvel#Netflix shows; the #Daredevil series, which is a tentpole of the franchise, has a very #Batman-esque "killing make you bad" ethic; but the heroes have to kill someone in #TheDefenders and now we have #IronFist and in some cases #LukeCage (in S02) killing people...it kinda weakens the case the #ThePunisher is a bad guy.
@amerika@icedquinn@vriska@sun@why If it was more realistic, he'd accidentally shoot and kill innocent people, sometimes because he got bad intel but other times because they were just in the way
@wintermute_oregon While that is true, I doubt that most people in #California are doing "just fine", the state has tons of problems from cost of living to safety.
@wintermute_oregon Eh. From what I remember, they were definitely needed at the time they were introduced, and I think getting rid of them will lead to the same problem today.
A better practice would be to keep the minimum wage static, and then stop contributing to inflation, although to be fair to #California, that problem is caused largely by the federal government, not the state itself.
I still agree that the changes were needed at the time though, the lower class at the time was essentially a slave class due to low levels of pay. People were being paid so little that young children were forced to work in factories in order for households to make ends meet.
TIL there is an actual conspiracy of landlords farming their business out to some place called RealPage that creates ML models to assign rents and has everyone sign NDAs to not tell renters that all of the properties are being price fixed.
> we also don't talk about how russia was pivotal to buttfucking hitler
Wasn't #Russia one of the major early progenitors of antisemitism, and the ones who created the "jewish cabal" conspiracy theory with the book #TheProtocolsOfTheEldersOfZion
i don't think i'd ever participate in big protests. i might point a camera toward one or fly a drone over it or something. but no point in standing in one.
there's always some assclown that gets photographed five seconds after he needs to be, then they just send in the police and everyone gives up. pointless.
But the problem with the company is that #TruthSocial has nothing to add to the world except sharing #Trump posts. If he ever leaves, it will be worthless, but if he doesn't, its true value doesn't change.
I don't lose sleep over plastic, but I'd rather have some sort of filter that makes my water taste like that when it comes out of the faucet than have to buy those expensive bottles over and over again.
Okay during my #MSM binge today, how come #CNN, who seems to have less racial diversity amongst onair talent than #ESPN, is talking about #OJSimpson's acquittal almost exclusively in the context of race, pointing out that he was not found guilty, while #ESPN is just like "yeah nah man we all know he was guilty lol, the prosecutors just sucked"
Imagine being such a bad news organization that you're bungling coverage of #OJSimpson's death to the point where #ESPN is giving better coverage than you lol
Not only are #Yeezy shoes nice but their "out of print" if you will; nobody is manufacturing them anymore because of #ye's controversies. These are really good shoes for walking from what I hear, but anyone wearing them should be keeping them nice. Running puts too much wear and tear on them.
Sounds from your description like this group is a bunch of hipsters, not real runners.
