  1. There's no way to simulate, much less quantify, what you're describing. Every deadly force encounter is different and every police force is different. But nuances like this are impossible to communicate when people who don't know jack **** about policing say **** like "why didn't they shoot the knife out of his hands?!?!?!"
  2. Again: why do we expect whites and blacks to have similar per capita outcomes for interactions with police when they don't have similar per capita numbers of interactions with police, don't have similar violent crime rates, and live in dissimilar neighborhoods when it comes to police presence?
  3. That'd be a fun viral marketing campaign. Maybe Abrams can do something like it for the next Cloverfield installment.
  4. I really think this kind of shitposting is underrated.
  5. Then they come down in the middle of it and realize how stupid they look
  6. Have fun, gents. I'll see you at the next one. I'm leaving from NYC in about half an hour.
  7. I mean I get the math ones and still don't think they're funny. But I also have no sense of humor.
  8. And it's not susceptible to pesky laws of physics like gravity!
  9. She's certainly strong willed, from what I understand to a point beyond where you can call it "strong willed" and more to the point of "controlling."
  10. TRIGGERED! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
  11. DONCHA THINK
  12. I don't appreciate irony.
  13. And how many people have you met that actually do that? And how did you verify this?
  14. And "independent thought" is what, exactly? Something reasonably close to the things you believe? Because when people say "free thought" or "independent thought" that's exactly what they mean: "thoughts that are like my thoughts." Because using the phrases themselves as markers of status reveal insufferable pretension and the actual motivation: "I want everyone to think like me, because I'm better."
  15. It's those damn kids and their rap musics! You're talking about an industry where guys called Kid Cudi, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, etc. are major players.
  16. Who are you again? I was thinking about it but schedule is looking tight for that weekend into Monday. Being the newish guy at work sucks.
  17. He's a millionaire producer bruh, not exactly one of us schlubs.
  18. This one is shaping up to be a real barnburner.
  19. I think somebody's rang my doorbell twice since I last moved (over a year ago). One was a bum at 3:00am in the middle of a snowstorm looking for shelter and the other was a cop doing a background investigation on one of my neighbors.
  20. Whether ESPN likes it or not her "verified" twitter account with a link to her work on ESPN's website in her bio is going to reflect on them. I don't like it and I'm sure they don't either.
  21. Is he a kid-diddler like most Disney execs?
  22. Really dude? The only bad things said about Obama were because he was black (ish)? Talk about selective hearing.
  23. Six home runs, 1.309 OPS in his last ten. Hopefully he's finally shaking off this slump.
  24. A man comes home from work to find his pet bird laying at the bottom of the cage, limp. He rushes the bird to the emergency animal clinic and with one look the vet says, "yep, that bird's dead." The man says "how can you be sure? You only looked at her!" The vet sighs and says, "alright, we can triple check to be sure." The vet leaves the room and comes back in with a big black dog. The dog walks over to the limp bird, gives it a sniff and a lick, and sadly shakes his head at the vet before exiting the room. As soon as the dog left, in walked a kitten. He jumped up next to the bird and did the same thing, just shaking its head and sadly meowing at the vet before leaving. The man says, "wow, that's amazing, I guess you were right." When he leaves the secretary hands him his bill. The man bursts back into the vet's office and screams, "FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS!!???? All you did was look at my bird!" The vet says to him, "well if I had only looked at the bird it would have been twenty dollars, but the lab report and cat scan are extra."
