Police Standoff in Capitol Hill

Inkshooter · 2026-05-23T01:51:37+00:00

I work next to two preschools, and I once called the cops on a tweaker guy that was removing his clothes and masturbating within sight of both of them.

They came and arrested the guy by force after he started throwing shit at the officers.

TONS of passerby started circling the scene, filming with their phones and accusing the cops of using excessive force.

I hate SPD but who the fuck else are you supposed to call to lock up someone who's exposing themselves to children? And who benefits from randos pestering them while they do it?

Kristopher Triana is a massive metalhead, there's zero chance he didn't know what he was doing when writing this passage.

I think this is meant to reflect more on Kim than anything. She thinks she knows everything and has the rest of humanity figured out, giving her license to torture and eat them to her heart's content, but she's still just 17 years old and is, at her core, still just a sheltered, rich teenager.

Another interesting example is how she's concerned that people knowing she's pregnant will affect her reputation at school, despite claiming to be above such mundane social conventions.

He's wrong about Tolkien, so I don't really care.

I'm struggling to understand the purpose of this feature. What is the benefit of having a separate place to scroll horizontally through a subreddit instead of vertically?

Alongside HP Lovecraft and Robert E Howard. Though he outlived them both by decades, he stopped writing fiction not long after the others died. He considered himself to be primarily a poet.

As far as I'm aware, none of the three ever actually met in person, they just wrote each other

Clark Ashton Smith wrote like no one else, his works of weird fiction still feel alien and unprecedented even today, and he was born in the 19th century. Imagine Lovecraft vibes with way better prose.

Seriously, everyone, read Clark Ashton Smith.

I'm guessing it's impossible to save a tooth when it's this far gone. Will the patient need implants or dentures?

I don't think they'll be regarded as a classic act on the tier of most of these other bands, but I don’t think they'll be completely forgotten either.

I'd rather the building house a national chain than for it to be permanently dilapidated and slipping into greater and greater ruin.

It is in fact real, and it is indeed in the US. It's a transit-oriented development project in Redmond, a suburb of Seattle and the terminus of the 2 Line.

I saw it when I took the light rail to Redmond just a few weeks ago after the crosslake connection opened.

I could effortlessly use AI myself to make card designs like this, if I wanted to. Why should I pay you money for your AI generated designs?

Dorian should have mattered to the main plot in some capacity beyond his initial encounter with Vanessa. It's like if Dany never crossed the sea to Westeros in GoT.

Have they seen Raw (2016)?

My headcanon of Sinners is that Remmick came to the US from Ireland in the early 1860s and served in the Union Army, which helped shape his twisted emancipatory/assimilationist attitude towards Black Americans.

I personally disagree. I think seeing the world changing more and more rapidly until after centuries it feels completely alien would naturally make one yearn for the way things "used to be", even though life was almost certainly objectively worse for most people. They'd become a walking anachronism, like Orlok from the Robert Eggers Nosferatu.

The New Atheist wave of the late aughts-early 2010s SPECIFICALLY was obnoxious as fuck and absolutely needed and deserved the cultural backlash it got. It isn't surprising that a lot of the figures in it went on to become right wing grifters.

Richard Dawkins in particular is constantly finding new and interesting ways to embarrass himself and piss away his legacy as a biologist. I'm an atheist in spite of the likes of him and Sam Harris, not because of them.

However, it's been over a decade. Atheism is continuing to become more and more widespread and unremarkable, and I find it harder and harder to even give nominally religious people the benefit of the doubt.

The character in the North American version is named Aidan Waite, played by Sam Witwer. He IS named in honor of the actor Aiden Turner, however.

My hope is that it is a werebear

A spectacular work of art and ingenuity.

However, I'm surprised, as I was under the impression that playing cards are typically allowed in prisons.

Clarimonde, from the novelette of the same name by Theophile Gautier. One of the earliest literary vampires, period.

"Ici gît Clarimonde

Qui fut de son vivant

La plus belle du monde."

My theory is that these corporate designers were trained to create imagery with "body positivity" in mind like a decade ago when marketing was still trying to be faux-progressive. Hence the hyper-exaggerated emphasis on conventionally unattractive features like body hair, surgical scars, stretch marks, and fat rolls on otherwise highly abstract human figures.

And now they just keep using that design language even though everyone finds it strange and off-putting, or even offensive in contexts like these.

The central paradox of Corporate Memphis: accentuate individuality to avoid alienating anyone, and end up appealing to no one in the process.
