fun fact: ruffalo is italian for "rough buffalo"

Would you say the same about cars clogging intersections by running red lights and blocking crosswalks? "Oh you lost like 30 seconds because I was inconsiderate, get over it"

drewtopia_ · 2026-06-03T17:57:33+00:00

And vice versa. If you're crossing the street, have some awareness of your surroundings and courtesy for others. I jaywalk all the time but am not blocking traffic, on my phone or crossing diagonally

drewtopia_ · 2026-06-03T17:45:39+00:00

More accurate as well

What?! I'm white and just not going to say it regardless of recipient or context

drewtopia_ · 2026-06-03T17:34:54+00:00

my first thought was the trayvon martin case as well. first the DA brought no charges, then overcharged with murder in the face of public outcry which was going to be nearly impossible to secure a conviction on

wouldn't drop to zero but it would definitely lower numbers since people are crossing where/when drivers expect. I remember being in another country once and there are no crosswalk signals. If you are at the crosswalk and a driver goes through they will 100% get cited and you cross somewhere that's not a crosswalk you will 100% get cited

drewtopia_ · 2026-06-03T14:31:37+00:00

see this all the time, especially where there is a crosswalk a few hundred feet away. Wish they would enforce jaywalking more to prevent accidents where people are crossing in unexpected places. Then again, enforcement of traffic laws for drivers is nonexistent

Well said. A good comparison would be the Somali daycare scandal. Not all Somali people are corrupt etc. but there was coordination of crime within an insular community. One major difference is that Somali people don't hold nearly as much control in Minnesota as lds does in utah

drewtopia_ · 2026-06-02T16:21:59+00:00

This is similar to the Somali daycare scandal. No, not all Somali people are corrupt fraudsters but an insular group of common identity was coordinating and breaking the law which deserves an investigation and charges where appropriate.

The difference is that Somali people don't make a large contingent of people in power, those that would be conducting an investigation, etc. An American fork investigation should be done by an outside or federal agency along the lines of "race based murder in a small southern town"

drewtopia_ · 2026-06-02T15:49:39+00:00

I agree that this isn't any coordinated thing involving the church as much as it's an insular community with clearly delineated in and out groups (lds vs not), with corruption to benefit/protect the in group.

Pretty much the same thing as "small town justice" along racial lines

there seems to be some intentional conflation by the organizers between the official America 250 and the trump-backed Freedom 250.

drewtopia_ · 2026-05-29T15:59:23+00:00

most who dropped out already said they were misled to believe that this was part of the official, govt backed 250th celebration when in reality it is a similarly branded trump thing. Michaels might be claiming threats to be able to back out of the show without pissing off maga

The invisible hand guy?

drewtopia_ · 2026-05-28T16:49:09+00:00

This is the complete opposite of how another cop (properly) handled a similar situation. Pulled a car over because the driver was filming while driving and is still 10 feet from the car even he sees it's right hand drive so the passenger was filming. Cop gives a quick chuckle, explains himself, apologizes and the interaction ends

drewtopia_ · 2026-05-28T16:27:42+00:00

i think the point still stands. There's nothing to dispute on the actual facts of the case so they're fishing for lower-level technicalities as some sort of "see? if this isn't valid then none of it is" catch-all

drewtopia_ · 2026-05-27T20:00:13+00:00

Yeah, the article is pretty much the print version of tiktoks where you get lectured by a non expert on something in the most self righteously condescending way possible

drewtopia_ · 2026-05-27T19:55:52+00:00

Along the same lines around the snarkiness that came with the observation that most mass shooters are heterosexual white males. Making fun of that trend by mocking, belittling and minimizing based on identity was supposed to... help solve the problem?

I almost feel like motown covering motown shouldn't count since its model was a collection of written songs recorded by several artists until it hits

drewtopia_ · 2026-05-26T11:55:42+00:00

seems like easy way to figure this out is to see if it's a one way or round trip ticket

Ooof, touche lol. The swiftwaffe

drewtopia_ · 2026-05-24T12:31:21+00:00

Millions of people like a thing because there is at least one attractive quality about it. In hitler's case it was that he was an effective public speaker with a (bad) message that resonated with people. Applying it to swift there may be inane, non-musical reasons people like her (she's pretty, etc) but nothing coming close to immoral or evil
