I've been seeing friends on social media posting pictures from fucking Disney for months. Adult Disney fans are psychotic. There's a pandemic and you can't miss riding a rollercoaster you've ridden dozens of times for a few goddamn months? Holy shit I've only left my apartment for groceries since mid-March and I don't even have roommates. It's depressing af, but this is how we gotta be to save lives. What's this all been for when we've had psychopaths congregating all this time for frivolous shit. There have been 2 reasons this entire pandemic that it's justified to congregate in any capacity:
- Going to work since the US has left people out to dry and are forcing them into unsafe working conditions just to survive.
- Protesting this fascist government
"Personal responsibility" as the solution to everything is a bullshit concept pushed by rightwing psychos and this is proof why. When push comes to shove a lot of people are so goddamn vapid that they can't imagine denying themselves the slightest pleasure as a means of helping others. God it hurts seeing my friends do this shit. Disney parks should be bulldozed and replaced with housing and public parks.
Adult disney people are the closest thing to real world zombies that we have.
My buddy has a Disney savings account just for trips to Disney World. It's the only place he goes. We do not talk about it
bulldoze? nah. just require that if youre over the age of twenty and going to a disney park, you have to be personally accompanied by a child.
since the whole point of that shit outside of making obscene amounts of money is supposed to be the enrichment of childhood.
taking your child to a crowded venue in the middle of a pandemic? thats a reckless endangerment, we're gonna need to investigate your suitablity as a parent
TW: Childhood trauma
In fifth grade we had a week on job interviews. Some large firm corporate hiring manager talked to our entire class in the school auditorium before we were sent home to "work on our resumes".
A few days later he returned to do mock job interviews with the class, I remember being so nervous that my resume wasn't impressive enough compared to my classmates that I vomited before going to school and then a second time at school when I saw all the nicely organized resumes and fancy clothes the other students had dressed in to prepare for the interview.
I had on an ugly long sleeve shirt to cover the bruises from where my step brothers would hit me every evening when I got home from school.
After the mock interview the man gave me the "blunt critique" that I needed to present myself better if I wanted to get a job.

(Stalin eye lasers) SHUT THE FUCK UP KULAK
Replace brothers with dad and change the vomiting to nosebleeds from the stress and that whole story word for word happened to me as well.
Also, a few years later they did the same thing again and I just didn't show up.
What kind of fucking dystopian ass late capitalism shit is this?
Actually, now that you mention it, this has kinda woken up some memory deep in my brain where I can vaguely recall our elementary or middle school class having some mock job fair/resume building seminar. I can't really remember all that much but it feels like it happened.
I just received word that a fellow worker has just died. She was like another grandmother to me, and I just feel really torn up about her passing.
Usually I have more words to say, something knowledgeable. I just feel lost and sad. I miss her. I've missed her for months. Last time I was properly able to see her was last christmas, she was jewish so she didn't celebrate, but she would invite queer people in the community who didn't have families over. I wish I was able to see her again. Fuck this virus. Fuck this capitalist system we live in.
tfw my dad hanging up mid call again because he thinks you can just get raises and doesn't understand you just cant get a raise these days
I love how Gen x and boomers would rather emotionally abuse their children than accept that capitalism has broken western society.
Tfw company is experiencing record profits but step increases get cut because "we're all in this together"
tfw your boss says "i would but i can't give you a raise, it's coming from the top"
im hanging out at a veterans hospital wearing a bunch of clothing from orgs the u.s has either declared terrorists or bombed :che-laugh:
ive heard this line before
bakers island,
vibetime check! still wednesday huh?when will these incessant attacks of imperialist time-zone-idealogy cease hiding behind joe bidens proven track record of sexual assault, and openly declare their agenda?
Why are tumblr queer types so insanely bad at dealing with chuds online? It's like they are incapable of saying mean words, they always react exactly how trolls want them to.
The stupid drama with the CoQ discord and sseth (stupid shit not worth explaining) has me thinking about this again for the first time in a few years, it seems these people haven't changed at all.
takes a little ideology to realize that these people are always coming in bad faith and just having the discussion on their terms grants them a ridiculous amount of legitimacy and gift-wraps the discussion in exactly the way they want. I still hope "post hog" takes off outside this community as it's a damn good way to shut those discussions down and insult them without relying on slurs or denigrating people who have nothing to do with the topic at hand.
people have to want to bully chuds to really drive them away. But the civility brainworms are so prevalent here that people want to "give each other a chance" or "try to change their minds" which isn't an effective way to deal with bullies. Basically I blame the school system for indoctrinating kids to believe that fighting back against a bully makes you just as bad as the bully themself.
Literally the only way to get chuds to fuck off is to find relevant slurs that aren't bad for you to say and then call them that.
One of my other gay friends started going down the rabbit hole and I just started calling him a removed until he stopped.
Caves of Qud is a pretty good roguelike game. The dev is this crazy idpol obsessed weirdo who seems like they got their entire worldview from tumblr blogs. For an example of how insane they are, one of the rules for the official Discord is you aren't allowed to make any jokes about the faction in the game that is an allegory for Nazis. Because joking about something obviously means you like the thing. You also aren't allowed to ask that this faction have their lore fleshed out more because obviously only Nazis would want that. You have to set your pronouns through a bot that sets a flair for you, you can't just set it yourself or not set any. You have to agree to poorly written fake terms and conditions before being allowed to even view the server.
Sseth is a youtuber who does game reviews. He only reviews games that are obscure but high quality, so whenever he reviews a game it's popularity explodes. He likes to troll people and his videos are nonstop edgy jokes about warcrimes and anime. His fanbase is moderately cancerous because they don't purge chuds, they just ignore them and let them hang out. Whenever his fanbase finds a game from his reviews, they let it be known that is how they found the game by using "hey hey, people" as their introduction to forums, multiplayer servers, etc.
Whenever his fanbase started swarming the discord for the game, the dev and moderators flipped shit because introducing yourself with the phrase "hey hey, people" is an attack on the community and low effort trolling, and posting screenshots of a moderator banning you for doing so is doxing, and telling a large audience to buy your game is a harassment campaign.
Basically they are reacting to a minor incident in the most extreme way possible, and in response a ton of people are now actually harassing the community because they let it be publicly known they are extremely easy to mess with and have no idea how to respond to trolling.
Yeah it's a bunch of immature weirdos flinging shit. Gets boring after you have seen enough of it.
Compassion and sincerity are for those capable of feeling empathy, the tumlbr types have never learned this lesson, which is why chuds run circles around them
Just got the test results, and now it's official, I got the 'rona. Fucking sucks.
So brave! I can't wait to discuss with you all this weekend! O7
You reminded me of docking and then realized that you could do pseudo docking with a sounding device. Will wonders ever cease?
All the breadtubers (libs) who are voting for biden in heavy blue states, why are you so cucked for rapist war criminals? What do you gain from this? There's gonna be x1000 the moderates voting for Biden vs leftists who will actually want him in office. He's going to win your state, with or without you! He literally said he doesn't need the left during the primaries. I don't understand.
Does Biden writing the crime bill do nothing to deter you? What about him being a key player into getting us into Iraq? No? Nothing unless it affects white people? What about the whole rape thing? Still nothing? What about him constantly saying he's going to work with the republicans, like putting them in his cabinet? No, that's not enough either?

3rd degree murder charges against Derek Chauvin have been dismissed, 2nd degree murder and aiding and abetting 2nd degree still pending.

Third Degree Murder Overview By Bridget Molitor, JD | Reviewed by Kellie Pantekoek, Esq. | Last updated June 01, 2020
Someone can be accused of third-degree murder if they unintentionally cause someone else's death while committing a dangerous act. This is different from first-degree and second-degree murder charges, where intent is generally required.
Only three states have third-degree murder laws: Minnesota, Florida, and Pennsylvania. Each of these three states defines third-degree murder differently, as explained in the chart below.
Minnesota Law: Minnesota Statutes Section 609.195 Definition: The unintentional killing of another through an eminently dangerous act committed with a depraved mind and without regard for human >life. Also includes causing another's drug-related death by selling, delivering, or administering a Schedule I or II controlled substance. Penalty: Up to 25 years in prison and a fine of up to $40,000*
2nd degree is going to be harder to prove, making it easier for him to walk.
all according to plan. the prosecutors will botch proving intent. Dumbfuck jurors will go “oh cop feared for his life” and there’ll be more riots.
in that case, there are almost 18,000 police stations in the United states. Hopefully the riots can put a dent in those numbers.
the prosecutors will botch proving intent
The 2nd degree charge is unintentional.
Not necessarily, the third degree charge was specifically called out as the sort of bullshit they charge in order to get the cop off on a lame technicality (it’s got all sorts of weird rules and probably unprovable requirements).
2nd degree is more straightforward.
The unintentional killing of another through an eminently dangerous act committed with a depraved mind and without regard for human life.
To get a conviction they would have to show that and it’s how could you possibly do that?
That’s insane, and that’s why they charged him with it. He wasn’t depraved, it wasn’t completely without regard for life, it was intentional, etc...
This is why people were so pissed off and why Ellison wound up having to take over.
they have to prove intent now and they will never prove he intentionally killed him
i think they could have proven he did not have regard for human life and that disregard was "depraved"
He's specifically facing 2nd degree unintentional and 2nd degree manslaughter.
What sucks is apparently 3rd degree murder can go up to 40 years, 2nd unintentional only up to 15.
i think they could have proven he did not have regard for human life and that disregard was “depraved”
But simultaneously he had no actual intent to kill him?
No that charge was absolutely designed to get him off.
edit: not specifically about this, but about charging cops and how they ratfuck it. https://twitter.com/realstevecox/status/1266243977528799232?lang=en
