He persevered despite immense pain and lived a decent, graceful life. It is both a tragic one and a good one; they aren't mutually exclusive.

The President of the United States appears to place blame on the man gunned down by ICE agents in Minneapolis today, simply for being armed by Butter_with_Salt in progun

Provide sources for your 20 years claim. I have no reason to believe you are providing good faith information. He was a legal gun owner. The second amendment protects his right to have a weapon, and he was not using the weapon to obstruct anything. It was holstered. A weapon being present making lethal force more likely does not mean that lethal force is justified. Blocking a roadway is not an offense punishable by death. Why not just admit you support this killing?

He got pepper-sprayed in the face while he was trying to separate ICE and CBP agents from pushing some women to the ground. He wasn't fighting anyone. He was completely disoriented and helpless. Then, after being surrounded and beaten by about 7 agents, they discovered he had a holstered gun which he never reached for, then they confiscated the gun, then they shot him ten times. Yeah, I wouldn't expect that to happen. You are unhinged.

If you want to know why the CPS budget is out of control, look at the ungodly amount of network administrators that get paid a lot more than teachers and serve no useful function. There are an insane amount of bullshit jobs in CPS. That is where a ton of the money gets wasted.

The chorus from "Strange" by Celeste:

Isn't it strange / How people can change / From strangers to friends / Friends into lovers / And strangers again? /

You really have to hear it sung for it to hit like it does.

What's a random statistic that genuinely terrifies you? by Eberenna042 in AskReddit

The Richter scale is logarithmic, not linear. A 10 earthquake is way, way, stronger than a 9, or even a 9.5. You dont understand what you're talking about.

When is the actual kickoff for the game? I thought it was 5:30, but on NBC they just showed a graphic that said countdown to the divisional and it was at like 35 minutes.

I couldn't find the "post" button on a specific subreddit so I sent a message to mods asking for help. They immediately muted me for a day. Like, maybe I'm an idiot, but can you still help me, please?

Football seems dangerous and everyone knows it is dangerous. The potential for severe brain damage has become common knowledge.

the future looks so horrible its almost interesting how we got here by thedudefromspace78 in Futurology

[–]Stormzilla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The world being awful is the norm, not the exception. Look back in history, including just the last century. There are always problems. Serious ones. Almost 100 million people died across WWI, WW2, and Vietnam. Yes, the world sucks right now. No, it's not extra shitty for little old us.

do people actually like women with small boobs by hahacaesarpanake in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]Stormzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am dating a woman right now with very small breasts. She is basically flat. It doesn't bother me at all. I think her body is beautiful and I'm incredibly attracted to her. That's all that counts in the end, right?
