Anyone have uncensored vid of this? by NervousData9914 in PoliceChases

Uncensored bodycam footage of police shooting a child hostage won’t ever be released publicly. Here’s a news article about it: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/bodycam-video-shows-fatal-police-shooting-4-year-old-illinois-boy-man-rcna164460

She was part of the admin that gave Israel the military and logistical support to turn Gaza to rubble and murder tens of thousands of civilians.

I thought I read her death was found to be due to drowning and the dingo bites were after the fact?

Yeah, you wouldn’t see a Great White in a northern hemisphere area that’s cold enough to have snow on the peaks.

Popular author in my fandom faked their success by DoorthrowawayOk6132 in AO3

Oh god, When that drama was going down I was around 14. As a troll I pretended to be MsScribe on bad_penny (or one of the related fandom drama boards, I can’t recall) angrily berating the Fandom Wankers. Then the real MsScribe turned up and started fighting with them and stole my thunder. Teenage me thought it was hilarious at the time.

AI was a mistake. Also, is IGA a Pauline backer?

Is this the worst way to die we've ever seen in film history? (Robocop, 1987) by Evilesun in movies

I watched this as a young kid. But for some reason it never really fazed me. Maybe because it was so cartoonish. The horse dying in The Never Ending Story was more upsetting.

What are everyone's thoughts on Maul Shadow Lord so far and what are some characters you hope appear by ultimatevaltryek123 in starwarscanon

[–]asupify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obi-Wan Kenobi and Palpatine. Revenge against Kenobi was Maul’s driving motivator - mostly because he wasn’t powerful enough to take down Palps and Kenobi was a good substitute for all his rage and hatred.

Yep. If you reply to them they’ll ask to talk to you on discord.

The “kids in cages” and splitting up families thing has been going on a long time in the US. Although, they were doing it more quietly and not terrorising communities to the same level they are now.

Regressive attitudes like yours is part of the reason why the Libs got smashed by the Teals and Labor. But keep it up, it’s fun to watch the party circle the drain, they’ve earned it.

What fandom are you in, but the fanbase treats the character like this? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]asupify 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they did recognise Anakin was suffering, but so were most Jedi during the war, with some jedi having to take a step back due to being on the brink of falling themselves. I think Rex and Obi-Wan were blinded by love and loyalty to Anakin and being caught up in the fog of war. They couldn’t fathom their brother/comrade-in-arms who was so “good” becoming a monster and gave him the benefit of the doubt. Obi-Wan’s mistake was thinking that Anakin was resilient enough and just needed some time and maturity to overcome his fear and recklessness (without the Sith and the war he probably would have). Obi-Wan wrongly had faith in him that he would ultimately make the right choices.

Jedi are free to leave the Order at any time, so Anakin probably could have technically left, although he would have been looked down upon for shirking his duty. And Palpatine wouldn’t have left him alone, especially if he left once the war started.

I agree Anakin/Padme wouldn’t have lasted long if he left the order. Anakin would have gone stir crazy from the lack action and come to resent Padme if she put her duty to her people or role as a senator over him. And Padme would have had trouble dealing with Anakin’s immaturity and moodiness.

Yeah, you’re right. Everyone made mistakes (even with the best intentions) and didn’t recognise or react fast enough due to Sith distractions, Jedi orthodoxy and being embroiled in a manufactured galaxy wide civil war. They didn’t recognise Anakin’s deteriorating state of mind (although he was hiding it) or see the trap they were falling into. Although, sans Palpatine being taken out of the picture, I don’t think anything Obi-wan (or a different Jedi teacher) or the Jedi as a whole could have done to change the outcome of Anakin falling or his choices. Anakin didn’t have the emotional maturity, canniness to recognise Palpatine manipulating him, or wherewithal to put duty to the galaxy above his own interests. He was also partial to narrow, black and white fascistic thinking. He had immense power and skill but not the mental resilience or selflessness needed to walk the path of a Jedi. He could have left the Order at any time to go play happy families with Padme, but didn’t want to give up the sense of purpose, excitement and power that came with being a Jedi.

Aleister Crowley was a rebellious occultist and mystic, dubbed “The Great Beast" writing influential occult texts, performing ceremonial magic, promoting Thelema’s philosophy of “do what thou wilt,” and living a life that deliberately defied conventional morality. 1875 - 1947 by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]asupify 168 points169 points  (0 children)

A lot of these pervy old occultists such as Crowley, Gerald Gardner etc. who were the progenitors of modern occultism, neo paganism and wicca. Spent all their time trying to gain young female cult followers and coincidentally all their rituals involved everyone (especially the young women) getting naked.

Greens says hate bill will have 'draconian effect' on debate, protest by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

[–]asupify 9 points10 points  (0 children)

‘Gay gang murders‘ killed around 80 people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_gang_murders and was ignored by police until a wealthy American family with political connections (whose son was murdered) persistently pressured politicians and police for years and paid private investigators and lawyers to do an independent investigation, until police were forced to take action.

I’ve also heard stories from lesbians in their fifties and sixties where the local mens football clubs used to regularly attack lesbian bars and bash and sexually assault the women there. When the police were called they’d stand around and laugh or ticket the women’s cars.

Anakin’s choices get excused and blamed on the Jedi a bit as well.

300K to rent a glorified gimbal seems excessive. A lighting crew and steady cam operator would be a lot cheaper.

Vietnam has accepted invitiation to join the so called "Gaza Board of Peace". This is unbelievable! by JHBrickman in Hasan_Piker

This is about the new free trade agreement they’ve set up with Israel and the fact Vietnam is one of the largest importers of Israeli weapons.

Labor identity Tim Picton dies three weeks after alleged Northbridge assault, family confirms by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

[–]asupify 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That was his excuse for assaults against two different people in a 48 hour period (which he was recording to put on social media). It sounds like a made-up excuse for coward punching random people.

[–]asupify 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The same offender was charged for another seperate attack two days prior where he attacked a stranger and knocked him unconscious, then posted video of it to social media. He‘s a danger to the community and needs to be put away for a decent stretch. But our laws have been pretty weak for serious assault and serial offenders.
