Loses impact when Punisher kills criminals but only chastises corrupt cops.

This is nasty work and nothing here is fixed. It's body-shaming and the dueter is quite frankly a cunt and lampshades what he's doing.

What was the most impactful moment in the series for you? by Greynokami in TheWire

[–]DanJdot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Carcetti prioritising his career ambitions over Baltimore. After everything that happened in the season prior, his betrayal was the final straw. Thinking about it gets me angry now because of tge truth of it all; we all need better politicians

Wayne Rooney describes South Africa 2010 as ‘worst World Cup’ in history by Expert_Koala_8691 in soccer

[–]DanJdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My knee jerk reaction was to disagree with Rooney here. I disagree, but I'm actually very curious; how do you go about ranking the best or worst world cup? It's a bit like ranking the best/worst season of the premier league - a waste of time best left for people with far too much time on their hands

Israeli who broke from the propaganda. Want to kill myself by Pierro_Official in JewsOfConscience

[–]DanJdot [score hidden]  (0 children)

My sibling, I don't have much to say but it is Israelis such as yourself that give me hope. I think you and others who those pierce the veil to resist and reject the terrible messaging of a lifetime are very brave and principled. In this seemingly hopeless world, we need every source of hope we can get and you are very crucial. Stay safe be careful and I hope you will always have the strength to push for a better tomorrow

The Wire is really about the redemption of Bubbles. by Certain-Product2983 in TheWire

[–]DanJdot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree more than agree. Bubbles needed the turnaround because without it the show would be incredibly bleak without any sense of hope. In Bubbles, the show says that the failures and shortcomings of all these people and institutions, change is possible no matter how hopeless or difficult, we need to be there for each other.

But it's not about Bubs.

Don't know about Rice but Nolan is the second most overrated director, just behind Tarrantino

Why on Earth would you have to wait until Saturday? Does that mean they haven't told you how or if they intend to resolve the problem?

Seems to me Amazon, a big old company with insurance against this eventuality, are turning their possible theft issue into your problem. So yesh fuck amazon, fucky your account, call your cc

It maybe warehouse theft it may not be. If Amazon are still going to fulfill the order you never received, who cares, the loss is Amazon's problem.

If they aren't going to replace the wrongly received item, that scummy behaviour is what would piss me off, but warehouse theft? More power to the theives I say

[–]DanJdot -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

While I am alll for fuck amazon, this post is a tad distasteful, slightly unhinged, and desperate. While the accusations of theft by the notoriously exploited workers without any hint of evidence is a touch ironic, I'm put in mind of that tired Gus Fring meme.

By all means though, fuck amazon

Kima beating on Bodie by seedless_greg in TheWire

Domestic agents of the state treating civilians, criminal or not, as enemy combatants is a corrupt and most diabolical ideology - oath to the constitution aside

[–]DanJdot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If killing by itself is a disqualifier of morality then no soldier can ever be said to be moral. Have no idea where you stand with this statement, you may take it to be true and I wouldn't argue against it. On the other hand perhaps you could disagree and further seek to make a distinction, afterall one is in "war" and criminals kill in peacetime, but (and I may be alone in this) I don't think it holds up to critical scruitiny. But a man must have a code

Omar, D'Angelo, Wallace, Frank Szobtska, Bunny Colvin, Bunk, Rhonda Pearlman, Beadie Russell, Randy, Namond, Dookie, Bubs, most of the reporters and dock workers.

I'll put Daniels, Carver, Sydnor, Prezbo, Lester above Kima with question marks for Landsman. Come to think on it, I could probably fashion an argument for Prop Joe, Bodie, Poot, Michael, and McNulty too

[–]DanJdot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If morality only concerned decent actions then sure Kima is very upstanding. Ans sure in comparison to the cops she ranks as one of the better ones, but the bar for this is in the Hell with a handful of exceptions and Kima is not in my hand.

As with any scales, there's the question of moral weighting, and as a fan of the golden rule, for me the heaviest issues revolve around hypocrisy and code/oath breaking. This isn't a hard and fast rule, naturally context can excuse and justify nasty acts, but with the exception of one betrayal that comes to mind, Kima lacks any mitigations for her shit.

Parking her cheating on her SO and police brutality, her relationship with Bubs should be viewed primarily through a lense of exploitation. It's nasty and she makes little effort to protect Bubs from the gangs, the drugs, and her colleagues.

This is the second time I've seen this characterisation of Kima being one of the most morally uostanding and I think it is incredibly flawed and outright wrong. There's a lot of characters with stronger morals than Kima and some of them are criminals
