  • It's worth mourning that someone in the custody of the state isn't being protected from attack. For every evil cop getting stabbed there's a ton more people (some of whom are innocent) who are subject to the same negligence and cruelty in the system.

  • The only thing modern Russia has in common with the USSR is territorial ambition. They don't have the life expectancy, the culture, the art, the principles, or improving quality of life. They don't even have the opposition to fascism. It's the result of capitalism's victory over and looting of the Soviet Union. MAGAT's will never have based flags.

  • There's quite a bit about American law (at least in practice if not theory) that's essentially "we all know he did it." Civil asset forfeiture, releasing mugshots to publicly shame people that haven't been convicted, etc. It's wrong but taking the high road doesn't work against fascism and doesn't stop those things from happening to the poor.

  • It's an issue of time and scalability. Going from 100 employees to 200 employees wont make the game in half the time. And corporate accounting would rather have 2 mediocre games per year than 1 extremely good game every 2 years, even if it sold 4 times as well since revenue is analyzed within fiscal years and financing isn't free. Capitalism sucks.

  • Trying to repair a spice grinder. After swearing a bunch and cutting up my fingers I gave up putting the original switch and safety lock and decided to cannibalize a new switch from a space heater that isn't a POS.

  • Just a random cis-hetero dude scrolling through /all, but I think you totally pass. body dysphoria is a hell of a drug, even for cis folk. And it's hard as hell to take a photo of yourself that looks good. I've never succeeded in 3 decades. Sending love.

  • A common police trick is to twist someone's arm until it's in danger of dislocated so they panic and struggle, which gives them the excuse to use even more force and/or another charge (especially if they didn't have a good reason to arrest them in the first place).

  • It makes it optional whether or not to pay you for your labor, which works out to a "not an asshole tax" where nice customers subsidize both the business and people who don't tip. It also creates artificial class divisions between service workers. Why is a barista getting a 15% bonus while a 7-11 clerk isn't? (Hint: look at the demographics of each)
