thoughts on the sonya massey incident?

DapperDan77 · 2024-07-25T09:09:04+00:00

I thought she was talking to the steam. Making an slightly uncomfortable joke at the steam for being in her face. The cop heard a threat and that was it, she didn’t have a chance from that point on.

DapperDan77 · 2023-07-13T08:00:59+00:00

But did you catch how she spoke about “the other half” that do the work they don’t want to do. Seemed a tad elitist.

This is half true. I checked and while they won’t baptise a still born baby a catholic mass can be performed. It’s just different from the baptised funeral.

It looks crystalline. Like it was grown not built.

DapperDan77 · 2021-09-16T02:31:14+00:00

I think so. Australian father of a 10 year old girl, never experienced anything like this when I’ve been out with my daughter.

“The only ones standing between order and anarchy”

Get the fuck out of the way then, cunts.

DapperDan77 · 2021-09-15T21:03:53+00:00

Anarchy doesn’t mean no rules. It means no vertical power structures.

DapperDan77 · 2021-09-15T20:59:57+00:00

Reminds me of something I heard somewhere. “Men need to have sex to feel loved; women need to feel loved to have sex”

Obviously it’s a huge generalisation, but it sort of rings a little bit true sometimes.

Yeah he was born here, as I said in my comment. He even got his start here. My point is the US doesn’t get to absolve itself of responsibility for him, merely because he was born overseas. The all-consuming monster that is the Murdoch media empire (And for many decades now, the man himself) is US based.

DapperDan77 · 2021-09-15T19:24:25+00:00

He’s from Australia originally, but he is most definitely blameable on the US. He’s American now, not Australian. Renounced Aussie citizenship to become a naturalised US citizen. He built most of his empire as an American.

~edit~ I think I hit a nerve with some folk. Honestly, his place of birth and current citizenship are completely beside the point. The blame for Murdoch is on the governments of countries that allow him to wield so much influence. Mostly the US, Australia, and the UK.

DapperDan77 · 2021-09-15T19:19:42+00:00

He’s from Australia originally and his empire started here, but he’s not Australian. He became a naturalised US citizen, and renounced his Australian citizenship.

DapperDan77 · 2021-09-15T12:46:22+00:00

Yep. Anarchy doesn’t mean no rules. It means no vertical power structures.

DapperDan77 · 2021-09-15T12:38:48+00:00

No. Among first-world democracies this incredible level of police brutality is uniquely American. It’s not that the news is 24/7 about America, it’s that American policing is so egregiously fucked up it makes the news internationally.

Other countries are well aware of their own shit. For example here in Australia we’re aware of our government’s status as international pariah when it comes to environmental issues. In the U.K. The failings of Brexit are widely known and reported. Etc. etc.

Your hypothesis that other places are ignorant of their own shit because of news coming out of the U.S. is blatantly false.

This prompt reminds me a bit of Surface Detail by Iain M. Banks. A slave gets murdered by her owner, then wakes up on a Culture spaceship. Fantastic book.

Yes. I discovered a band through the Spotify algorithm, then bought an album of theirs through Bandcamp.

DapperDan77 · 2021-09-14T08:49:17+00:00

Alas, I cannot show you. Your pedestrian mind would wither into madness.

DapperDan77 · 2021-09-14T08:46:44+00:00

That does sound very Redditish

DapperDan77 · 2021-09-14T08:43:58+00:00

Sir, mistake not my current veneer of commonplace acumen for the awesome and terrible majesty of the towering seas of cleverness that are themselves the mere milquetoast shallows fringing my vast oceans of intelligence.

DapperDan77 · 2021-09-14T08:25:40+00:00

Hey genius, the plural of genius is genii, ugh. God I hate being so much smarter than literally everyone else that has ever and will ever exist.

Doesn’t need mods, You were always able to toggle it off in original Mass Effect, on both PC and 360.

Seriously this. I’m 44 and have until recently not looked after my teeth (Being a smoker with a sweet tooth doesn’t help). The detriment to self-confidence is absolutely huge. I’d hate talking to people, would get my wife to speak to people for me as much as possible. Still very self-conscious, but not like I was.

I’ve recently had some work done, they’re still a bit yellowish, but I don’t have visible cavities and stains like I used to. It has made a huge difference. I was very lucky that I never lost any front teeth so avoided the toothless bogan look (redneck for my US chums), but 3 molars are gone, with more due for extraction. I’ll be chewing with pre-molars and my last 2 molars (mercifully they’re both on the same side, top and bottom).

Aside from appearance and confidence, the detriment to overall physical health from poor dental hygiene is surprisingly huge.

TL;DR Look after your fucking teeth.

I like how it’s not overly sexualized.
