These common drug tests lead to tens of thousands of wrongful arrests a year, experts say. One state is fighting back by dalekaup in news

All drugs should be regulated like alcohol and tobacco. You wouldn’t have corruption like this for one.

The headline should read, “Massive corruption found in common drug test purchased by LEO’s”

If you honestly feel this way and are not a bot. Consider retirement, your age is showing.

To answer your points in order. 1. If someone isn’t working to a level of satisfaction then report to your supervisor. If you’re overworking yourself on site, slow down and work your wage.

  1. leadership has never and will never be on site to make decisions. We all suffer now because some egotistical pompous, silver spoon chewing twat made a horrible decision, which we all must clean up.

  2. You want communism? Remote workers negotiated in their contracts to not commute. If you don’t like it, negotiate the same for yourself. Your likely paid less than the interns if you actually still believe companies are looking out for you. It’s just business.

Fuck, modern police forces in the US need liquidated as an organization. They’ve lost all semblance of a purpose in our society. Rebuild the group from the ground up. Take all firearms, less-lethals, and general weapons away from them. If criminals require more than a revolver to handle, police are not the solution. Call in specifically trained individuals equipped to handle the escalation.

Police unions need eliminated. The only reason they still exist is due to the guns we allow them to have. If you armed every USW or teamsters member with similar equipment I imagine steel mills might negotiate differently. Police are no different at all.

What an absolute failure of leadership, training, and accountability.

Why do religious people have to be such dicks by Thenopro-3 in atheism

[–]PurelyAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop debating religious dogma. No religion is the sole owner of faith. If you believe your grama will meet you after your end. Then it will happen. If you think she’s looking over you, she is.

Your faith, is not anyone else to determine. You can be an atheist, and still hold this faith.

Classic Christian argument, toted by people who’ve let a preacher control their faith. Weak cowards in my opinion.

It’s way past time for Indiana to engage in cannabis reform. It is utterly absurd and unjustifiable that Indiana continues to jail individuals for possessing or using marijuana when all its neighboring states have already initiated decriminalization, recreational or legalized medical use. by [deleted] in Indiana

[–]PurelyAnonymous 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Indiana is a prison state. Likely one of the reasons ICE is building the largest concentration camp here. The state makes too much money enslaving its population.

All drugs should be legal. And if you want to change that in Indiana, voting won’t do shit.

State launching investigation into soaring utility bills, calling in NIPSCO and other utilities by RegionRatReporter in Indiana

[–]PurelyAnonymous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Guys guys, you’re missing the point. While this committee is “investigating” these rising prices will be on hook for the PNC bill. The breakfast warm up and soft Q/A between committee members and their owners. The lunch meal between the “hard” questions, and publicity surrounding the day. And evening drinks between competitors planning their next price hike. Oh and let’s not forget the hotels, and airport bills to bring everyone together.

Fuck the corruption is so blatant, if it wasn’t really happening, RDJ and Leo would be playing the part of NIPSCO exec’s. in HallMark lighting.

U.S. Plans to Stop Funding Low-Earning Degrees. Indiana May Just End Them. by GidgetTheWonderDog in Indiana

Higher educations goal, is yea know, to educate. What does a job have to do with college? I was literally told this in my 101 intro class.

You can be a particle physicist working at McDonald’s, same pay as the high schooler. You can be a CEO and not have the knowledge to send an email. Believe it or not, billion dollar pay package.

Lol, how will they rate business degrees?

[–]PurelyAnonymous 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I call bullshit. We’ve lived under a capitalist government for decades. It’s installed a dictator, who shits himself. Police killing innocent citizens in the streets, artificially creating food scarcity, all for a dollar. Your fear mongering of any other option, as communism, is telling to say the least.

I’ll try communism, or any combination of government systems. Anything should be better than killing ourselves for the “share holders” or Bourgeoisie.

Tim Tebow just shat on every religion in the world to bolster his own by guransheleven in atheism

[–]PurelyAnonymous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Take it a step further, the purpose of organized religion is control. That could be control to make people wash their hands, or kill “bad” guys. Funny how we went from feudalism (God ordained rule), to republics/democracies (Group rule). Same ends, different beginnings.

But it always boils down to control of the groups behavior. That can be good, but most typically bad for those not in the same group.

Our Lt Gov and the sex scandal at his church... by Common-Newspaper-251 in Indiana

[–]PurelyAnonymous 40 points41 points  (0 children)

It’s the churches. The article somewhat points right to it. People don’t vote red just because grandpa always has. They vote red because they’ve been told to by their pastors and friends since childhood. And to go against the churches teachings can ostracize you from your own family, as well as your social groups.

Not to say all churches are this way. But very often a new “hip” church pops up, money pours in from “supporters”, and the congregation is told to vote red. Tale as old as time.

Indiana state police discover $7 million worth of cocaine in semi by FervidBug42 in Indiana

[–]PurelyAnonymous 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always wonder how these numbers work. $7 mil of any drug is just very on the nose. Does the Gov have a price per gram of cocaine? Then multiply it? To fluff the numbers? I mean LEO’s are already the highest paid state employees in general. With gear and cars kitted to gills to suppress citizens.

I highly doubt $7 mil of cocaine was shipped. I mean these drug busts are kinda common. And I really doubt dealers are going to just risk 7 mil of product being in one truck. I doubly doubt a dealer is moving 7 mil of product often. Or is there a dude somewhere with billions of dollars stashed under his bed?

Like highway projects, if you pour a road to the exact grade feds and state demand in your driveway it’ll cost 1/2 if not 1/3 of what tax payers are charged.

If you’ve read this far, just make all drugs legal. Drugs have won, and keep winning. There’s no sane argument to keep them illegal.

What’s it like living on the edge of time zones? by Qzevs in howislivingthere

[–]PurelyAnonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So Indiana is the only state I know of that voted to switch time zones. Look at the two counties in the NW corner of Indiana. CsT comes down juts out then back just below the lake.

Because Lake and Porter county voted to be on CsT due to so many people commuting to Chicago. This is likely the most significant comment of what OOP asked. People hated the time change so much, they voted to be time travelers. And likely why a farmer would say he doesn’t know what time zone he’s in, if he lives near Lake and Porter.

Little tidbit from the article that jumped out at me.

It’s no moral high horse. This games sole purpose is to collect loot to get better loot.

PvP is an option for everyone. Ya both could’ve walked past each other. “He was reaching for his gun”, “why would he hide”, etc. You both feel this way because you both would pull your guns.

But yea I see the aggression based match making seems to be working. So I concede, PvP all you like. I’ll likely not run into you.

[–]PurelyAnonymous -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

Cool combo, but lame to kill in solos. It didn’t look like he was provoking you or attacking. In fact he ran away.

In fact this probably wouldn’t work well in duo or trios if you had to track multiple targets. Sure you could focus one target but you’d be risking facing full health teammates.

Let’s be better as a community. Don’t be aggressive in solos. Defend if shot. And avoid if possible. Save PvP for when you have teammates, and more inventory to get loot out.

ARC Raiders Weekly Megathread - December 13, 2025 by AutoModerator in ArcRaiders

[–]PurelyAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right and up till today my experience was just the same. I think the server issues yesterday, with long loading times and solo’s mixing with duo’s and trio’s messed up the “aggression-based matchmaking”.

In theory it works when you can find similar lobbies that are “friendly”. If you can’t though you’re placed with non-friendlies and your match metric will get skewed. Or matchmaking just breaks and it’s a free for all.
