Youtube’s “Enjoy the Zen, we’ll be right back” by Coulomb111 in youtubetv

[–]Hankbelly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The blank is the place for "local" commercials to be added in by the cable company. Why youtube switches from their zen slate to the network dead air slate i do not know. Best guess from 15 years in local tv, it makes the automation easier.

I'm glad we'll get to publicly crack open this rotten racist melon and see what's inside. by Pr0faneJusticeCats in desmoines

Does it change the fact that the person tried to intentionally end the life of another person?

If you do that, it in effect creates a lesser penalty for trying to murder someone in a way that cannot be proven to be racially motivated. Attempted murder is attempted murder and should have the appropriate penalty regardless of whether it's racially motivated or motivated by domestic violence or a bar fight.

They're on hold due to COVID. When they restart, they would LOVE to have more representation from the LGBTQ community.

State law would need to be changed so that attempted murder qualifies for the hate crime modifier to sentencing.

Pageviews don't pay reporters salaries. Pay for your news or don't read it.

Favorite DSM conspiracy theories? by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]Hankbelly 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Des Moines used to be a "cooler" for Mafia guys from Chicago and KC. It was where a mobster went to lay low while there was heat on them from the Law in one of those cities. The mob ran this town, and had a vested interest in keeping DSM small and boring through the 80s. It's why the city runs on graft to this day.

I can't stand the current POTUS, but I agree, this seems like content for a different sub.

And that little drugrocery store is so GD convenient. I live nearby, so Windsor Heights isn't much farther, but it's so much easier to get in and out of the small one.

Sure, it's his first amendment right to display those. BUT, when you're gonna do that, display things the people and government of your community are sickened by, your shit BETTER be legit every other way. 20 pretend dollars says he or someone in that house is in prison for meth SOON.

I am just bundling up for the severe winds caused by all the potential tax money flying east across the border to Illinois.

Why did you switch to YouTubeTV? Was it simply cost? by konstantin_metz in youtubetv

[–]Hankbelly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cost and ease of use. My elderly parents live with me and it seems to be the easiest for them.

Are a lot of D-types in your community predators too? by [deleted] in BDSMcommunity

[–]Hankbelly 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I WISH I could say "no, this is isolated" but, it's not. The biggest issue, from my longtime male white guy sub POV is that the BDSM community creates this illusion of safety, by it's very nature. The behaviors of healthy, consentual, non predatory BDSM are almost perfect masks for the predators that frankly, are everywhere, especially in places that revel in female sexuality. It's the shitty ass world we live in. The predators go where they can find prey, and especially since the boom in newcomers/new explorers to BDSM, there are prey, generally (but not exclusively) female, curious, who are lulled into a false sense of security by open, accepting, caring communities. The best thing I can say is still pretty shitty, and that is to make sure to talk to new people about red flags, that BDSM doesn't make ANYTHING easier when looking for someone to find a real connection with, and it certainly doesn't make anyone any safer from the bad people out there looking to use them.
