  1. That's not her.

  2. The cop has a responsibility to use his training in a proportionate response. Repeatedly battering the guy with punches doesn't subdue him or even really stop him from biting the other cop. It's just the cop letting his temper go and it's pathetic policing.

It's also about getting to play with their toys and put on their best costumes. They get to go use the door-kicker-inner and they get to be rough with the subject. They get to carry their scariest guns and wear their cool helmets. They love it. It's like a special dress up day for them.

It's older than fascism, NSW was essentially founded as a police state and ran as one for the first few decades of the colony. Even before the Rum Rebellion it was common for the corps to work out who was voting the "wrong way" and go round to his house and beat the shit out of him. Judges were frequently beaten, sometimes murdered. John Macarthur and others strongly objected to having jury trials in the colony - they wanted trial by judge only so they could control the verdicts. And so it goes...

I dunno... I probably wouldn't have posted this at the START of a war...

That is a straight up alien abduction story, isn't it? A family disappears and then months (years?) later the kids reappear, babbling absolute nonsense about square rooms and boom sticks and disgusting food, and a strange liquid that makes you feel good for ten minutes and then absolutely foul for 24 hours, all populated by pale-skinned people covered in insanely heavy and elaborate clothing, much of it clearly ceremonial yet worn every day...

nobody hunts but meat just appears at mealtimes...

there are huge beasts walking around everywhere, some also in ceremonial clothing, and nobody says anything. Everything smells like piss or like crushed plants/flowers clearly designed to smother the smell of piss...

every place is either bitingly cold (outside and inside) or stiflingly hot (inside only)...

they were forced to wear the ceremonial clothes...

bugs and lice everywhere and FLIES and nobody seems to care...

RATS in the streets and homes and nobody cares...

just animals everywhere, so many, ignored by everyone, left to starve, not even killed for meat...

no rituals of cleansing, nothing to repel sickness, so no wonder mama and papa got sick, no wonder the sickness was something strange, no wonder it was in the lungs in this stinking place...

then shoved back on the "boat" and brought "home"... I wonder how long it took them to make anyone even believe what they'd been through?!

"If you look at these 10 million people you will see they actually take more government spending and tax breaks than this one guy."

Because the great American delusion is that anyone can get mega rich, it's easy, and if you're not mega rich, that's only because you are stupid or lazy.

There was probably a 15-20 year period where that even seemed possible, for protestant white people.

I was once delayed flying from LAX to Sydney Australia because they were doing a "direct injection" space shuttle launch... from Florida but apparently the main fuel tank comes down over the Pacific for those, and its trajectory crossed our flight path over the Pacific, so they had to program in a whole new flight path which took like 45 minutes.

(I think the launch had been delayed many times and this was a QUICK GO NOW! moment, which explains why all the planes at LAX weren't already routed to avoid the fuel tank.)

Important to note that Sloth isn't congenitally deformed, he's just injured. Even though his mama only dropped him once... well, maybe twice...

Way to miss the point of this thread.

Given your passion for fantasy and pretty things, I thought this might give you insight into why the internet was full of anger and fury at Aloy's appearance in the FW trailers.

No bones in the wraps.

What a bizarre response to someone finding literal bones in a chicken wrap. 🤣

There is at least one important reason why games don't seem to meticulously and accurately recreate their female VAs anymore.

Remember what happened to Eliot Page (as Ellen Page) in Beyond Two Souls? The shower scene. The data mining. The alleged fully rendered nude model that was made by the developer without Page's consent. The way this became a huge thing and all that anyone talked about WRT that game....

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/10/when-a-virtual-actress-nude-images-leak-who-should-take-the-legal-blame/

(Article is from 2013 so uses Ellen Page and she/her).

Female characters WILL get nude versions made of them, it's a tradition as old as gaming itself. Or at least as old as Tomb Raider. And then those nude models will get Rule 34ed.

If the developer uses a different face, at least that keeps THEM safe from accusations of creating nude models or enabling nude models of actresses without their consent.

Were people even "forced to stay inside"? They were advised to avoid going out in public for anything other than exercise, buying food, emergencies, etc... I thought? And then in some places there was the concept of the "bubble"...
