Reply to It seems like black cops abusing power may bring about laws to keep cops as a WHOLE in check. by Sol-eks
Imagine finding out just now it's not a race problem but a cop problem. US cop training is a joke.

That and the reason for my disability is mental so it is difficult to enjoy much of anything with ADHD, anxiety, and treatment-resistant depression.

Reply to For someone as famous as Micheal Jackson, it's surprising that we don't have many biopics about him. by exporterofgold
We totally agree! It's about time we had a proper biopic that does justice to the music legend that is Michael Jackson. Let's hope some creative minds in Hollywood come up with something soon!

It was lost and remained lost until it was destroyed. Conclusion, it was never found nor it can be found.

It's the difference between taking a day off to stare at a wall and feel sorry for yourself, when you have a million things you need to get done. And taking a day off, after you've worked all week completing everything you had to complete.

No one watches the news anymore because "the news" no longer just presents the facts. Almost all news programs are just editorialized now.

I'm pretty sure you have to preface that statement with a culture for it to be true.

Reply to comment by jaleCro in A woman can lose a limb and not be able to grow it back. But she can then get pregnant, and her body can grow the limbs she lost, for someone else. by exultantunderwear68
I didn’t know that, I had read that parasites intend on remaining on their host for as long as possible as that’s their only way of living. Which ones do that if you don’t mind me asking?

Reply to comment by TheRogueToad in Old slasher movies aren't possible in irl but something like M3GAN is possible. by Humble_Fishe
It appears I was too vague. What I meant to say was that slashers like Jason and Freddy Krueger that don't die aren't possible but something like M3GAN could become a reality because ai could technically live on the net and keep coming back in different bodies to finish the job.

Lol no
Nothing will change with policing. If anything they will get even more money for more cops and bigger guns but none of it will go to hiring better people or having actual training.

Its about poverty. Poor people get shot by cops Black poor people, White poor people etc.. The race narrative is welcomed because it keeps people divided. Poor people need to unite.

Reply to comment by limacharley in One day, being a millionaire is not going to be considered rich. by Coronazonewearmask
Yeah. The disparity is so great that to us that have lived in and around poverty, 1 mil seems pretty rich. We could support a family of 4-5 for a lifetime. I understand it's not a lot for the middle class.
I think "rich" is subjective - based on perspective.

I agree that is how things are, but the mandate of journalists is to be unbiased and apolitical regardless of whether or not they live up to that standard in reality.
Also I don’t fully agree with your premise. There is objective truth, there is moral good, and the truth does not always lie “somewhere in the middle”. The person who makes a peanut butter lettuce and tomato sandwich is objectively wrong.

Which is why I said ‘’fully’’, meaning there is no influx from the optical nerve

They do, Very poorly and with little success.
>Chimps wage wars against eachother. Full on wars, with designated battlegrounds.
Now this is interesting, When a group gets too large they split and often go to war with each other. Quite often they don't come to blows though, The key is how far they move from each other.
Imagine 5 years later, The new young adults come across another society they don't know. Well, now they go back to the group and make it known there are enemies nearby. Did the other group attack? They didn't need to, the fear of the unknown is enough. The elder chimps don't get a say due to the noise levels, and even if the elder chimps did try to put a stop to it, they would then be challenged as leaders, killed and overthrown, or shunned to an elderly life of solitude.
It really is interesting.
