Bathroom tampons.
Honestly you guys are overlooking the utility of a tampon when used to plug bullet wounds. 100% necessary in American schools

What a prompt
I always like the analogy of man's relationship with an ant is how it would be with a fae or elder species and man.
Like if an ant managed to attract the attention of a human and requested it kill a specific ant, the human would respond by simply killing the entire colony as they can't distinguish one individual ant from another.
That's what the fae do.

Georgia deputy shoots, kills Black man who spent 16 years in prison on wrongful conviction
Reply in thread
You know what comes from "just going with it"? 16 years on a life sentence for a crime you didn't commit. Dude wasn't going back, and that's 100% justified imo. I'm digging how none of the police will elaborate on precisely why he was pulled over or what the arrest was supposedly for. Sounds like a contempt of cop they're trying to slow play because it's absolutely egregious in this scenario

Sea snail teeth top Kevlar, titanium as world’s strongest material
I'm real tired of "strongest material" being thrown around. As a welder turned machinist, "strong" doesn't mean much of anything to me. Aluminum is plenty "strong" but it's softer than some woods. Tungsten carbide is harder than a coffin nail but you can chip it by looking at it funny sometimes. Kevlar is plenty tough, but it isn't hard or particularly flexible. There isn't any super material that will ever do all the things "the best" and throwing around meaningless titles for clickbait feels childish at best and exploitative at worst.

A Black man got a job interview after he changed the name on his resume. Now, he’s suing for discrimination | CNN
We had something similar out here where a black family felt their home evaluation was really low when they were getting ready to sell so they had a white couple "show" the home to a different evaluator from the same company and surprise surprise the estimated value was like 30% higher for the white couple.

Anyone with over 10 million dollars in wealth should be legally classified as a dragon and anyone stealing from their hoard shall not be punishable under the law.

As a machinist and welder, I would strongly prefer an actual 6000 lb lump of stainless over a cybertruck. I can actually use stainless steel to make things.

Jack Black cancels Tenacious D tour and places future projects on hold after Kyle Gass comments on Trump
Reply in thread
The disrespect to the Gass man is ridiculous. Honestly Tenacious D comes from the same era of ridiculousness that gave rise to Borat, and I don't see why Kyle shouldn't be given the same leeway to say wild ass shit that Cohen did.

Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese?
You misunderstand. Cops in the US have no legal obligation to protect OR serve anyone. Check out the NY subway guy that was attacked with a knife while cops watched from 10 feet away behind bulletproof glass. They literally hid in the conductor booth and watched this guy get stabbed in the fucking face repeatedly.
Not only did the guy survive, he actually overpowered and subdued the attacker. Guy brought a suit against the NYPD for failing to protect him when their motto at the time was literally "Protect and serve". Long story short, the end result is that he got a real live judge to say out loud that police have no actual duty to protect you when it could endanger themselves. Coupled with your observation on the obesity of American cops, it could be argued that walking down the street to issue a ticket could be lethal for the cop in question and therefore they have no obligation to do it, they simply choose to do it out of spite.

If drug dealers question the police on planting stuff or saying it was someone elses. Can they not request a fingerprint test?
That would be the wrong approach. First big problem is that cops or anyone else can wear gloves. Second, you aren't really trying to prove who owned the drugs. You would be interested in proving that the space in which the drugs were found previously did not contain the drugs before the cops "found" them. That's why bodycams are super important. Most evidence tampering cases boil down to "spot was clearly empty before cop mysteriously produces drugs from the same spot"

Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon
Reply in thread
There is no "international authority". It's all big stick politics out there. It's like trying to go after a corporation in the US. The "punishments" when they break the law are fines, if that, and any admonishment not to fuck over the same person in the same way again.
Think about your boss shorting you $100. The "legal" process involves YEARS of waiting for a court date, a labor code interpreted heavily in favor of the employer, and at the end of the day, they get fines and maybe have to pay back what you rightfully earned in the first place.
Now think about what happens when you steal $100 from work. Immediate police involvement, possible arrest, absolute legal consequences even if you're cleared years later, the presumption of guilt from everyone in society.
It's even worse on a political stage. Nobody has the moral fortitude to step forward and fix shit because it's broken. Everyone just waits around until the collective consciousness supports some sort of social consequence on the offender in question. That's not even tying race or religion into the mix, which Israel loves to twist up into their particular brand of nationalism.
The civil world is simply too polite to call them out for all their shit. It's a whole world full of chickenshit and I am tired of the stink.

Shooting an unarmed woman who was just trying to walk home: just LAPD things
Reply in thread
In America, you can be charged with murder if the piggly wiggly arresting you works too hard and has a heart attack.
So shooting anything at a cop is most likely summary execution at the scene.

It's worse than that. The waymos were originally ordered by protesters wishing to leave the area. Sheriff didn't like that, so they asked waymo directly to lock down the cars so they couldn't be used to "flee the area". Waymo complied and stranded people in the middle of this mess, and the crowd decided to help them out and express their displeasure at waymo for capitulation to the gestapo. I hope whatever insurance waymo has denies all their claims and forces them to eat the loss.

It's always funny to me how people eat up the concept of a distrubuted neural network in tech but scoff at the same idea applying to something like a tree or a fungus.
Pando is the largest organism by area, and the Humungous Fungus is the largest by mass. The idea that those organisms don't "think" in some way is laughable.

It's gay to play male characters bc you're staring at a dude all day. True hetero males play female characters because it is most hetero to look at attractive women.
