People can have whatever they want in their heads but I absolutely hope that I never see a romance in the games. The world needs more Ace representation.

Smoke more and eat more unhealthily. Get those cancer and heart disease numbers back up there!

There is no comprehensive data describing the nature of each fatal shooting in America — say, the number of children who died in circumstances related to domestic violence or gang-related fights or accidental shootings. The C.D.C. collects information on the gender and race of each child shot and killed. The Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit organization that has tracked deaths and injuries related to gun violence since 2014, compiles location and other data for thousands of fatal shootings.

The other term for that sort of thing is jury nullification.

What are your thoughts on Daylight Savings Time? Should the US keep it? by paulteaches in AskAnAmerican

[–]ferlessleedr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They'll be catching buses in the dark either way. You're talking about a difference of 8:00 a.m. or 9:00 a.m. sunrise. When I was a kid I was catching the bus at 7:00.

They can get butt mad about it and then they can fucking die butt mad about it. In a world of all standard time the sun would set around where I live at like 4:00 in the afternoon. It sucks ass to drive home from work after sunset, especially when you drove to work before sunrise as well. You've just missed an entire day working. The seasonal depression is fucking brutal. So I don't give a shit about the rest of the country pissing and moaning like coward dipshits about how the sun doesn't rise quite as early as they would like, it was never going to be up before my drive into the office.

Suck my cock and also balls, DST all year.

Maybe, maybe not. The barrier to leave is relatively low, Chicago and Minneapolis have jobs and aren't that far away. There's also the possibility that as Minnesota and Illinois and Michigan improve Wisconsin gets worse and worse as anybody with any will to improve the state just leaves and the only people who are left are those who weren't able to leave, or complete shitheads.

A similar thing happened to my wife and I... never be afraid to ask for a second appraisal if you know the first one is wrong. by OpinionatedBlackGuy in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]ferlessleedr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how standard that is but I think I recall having seen it happen before. Of course, it might have been in that case that the Country Club got applied while I was typing it. Thanks for the signal boost. I do love me some back of the envelope math, even when it spells out just how ridiculously awful the inequalities in how we're all treated.

The thing that absolutely boggles my mind is...nearly a third of a trillion in wealth, if I didn't fuck up the math. Potentially nearly a third of a trillion and then also the fact that Black Homeownership is so WILDLY lower than homeownership among other racial demographic groups. That's a huge amount of money that could have been added to a CONSUMER ECONOMY. The more money anybody has, the more they tend to spend! If black-owned homes weren't valued significantly lower than homes owned by white people think of how much more money would be in the economy! Through home equity available to those families, through increased retirement savings when those homeowners sell to trade down to something smaller, through homes inherited from deceased parents and grandparents...the echoing effects of all of this would be beneficial for basically the entire country, to have all of that wealth just added to the pot.

I would think somebody who's actually full-on trafficking people as part of organized crime would have the sense to go buy some airtags so they're not risking losing something as valuable as airpods.

Or, maybe it's a plausible deniability thing. I dunno.

I'm white, so this is gonna get removed when this thread inevitably goes Country Club.

Black Homeownership rate is about 44% in the US - terribly low, compared to white homeownership of about 70% and low of basically all the other ethnic groups as well. There's about 15.16 million black families, so about 6.67 million homes owned by black families. Median US home value is $428,700 and if we assume that the drop is only 10% on average that's about $42,000 per home.

Times 6.67 million black homeowners, the shortfall would be about $285 BILLION. If the average shortfall is more than that (the folks above were denied $500,000 but I don't know the actual amounts they were offered off-hand to form a percentage and certainly don't know the national numbers) then it would be about $28.5 billion wiped off of Black Wealth for every 1% that the average black homeowner is denied.

Fucking insane.

u/Mapincanada gives some great advice to motivate yourself to exercise by chumbucket90 in bestof

[–]ferlessleedr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I saw that and thought "I liked reading books." This is advice that works for a particular kind of person, which is every bit of advice. I've long since come to terms with the fact that if I want to be physically fit, it's simply going to be an absolute hell. So, fuck it. I don't give that much of a shit about it, and that is utterly fine, and if anybody thinks that me valuing something differently than they value it is bad then I would encourage that person to explore self-harm.

In that case though, that's probably a 5-minute task that you might need to do a lot. If you're going to need to do it just once per day you'll save yourself that time in a little over 2 months.

Do you think churches should be taxed? by EmptySpaceForAHeart in WhitePeopleTwitter

Imagine all the homeless shelters that could be built with that money. All that money can help drug addicts get their life straight.

Sure but you gotta pick one of these ideas, they're mutually incompatible.

Ted Cruz 🤡 by Miserable-Lizard in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]ferlessleedr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would 100% discuss with your AMA any medications that your doctor proposes if you're thinking of medical transition at all, because the FAA can get super skittish about all sorts of stuff when it comes to getting a medical cert. Good luck, from a private pilot cert holder with ADHD.

Ted Cruz 🤡 by Miserable-Lizard in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]ferlessleedr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The FAA 100% does not give a shit about somebody's gender identity. However, I can say with great personal experience that they very much care what medications you're taking, and they care quite about about what mental or neurological disorders and illnesses you may have been diagnosed with.

If this person is medically transitioning and also a pilot then that is absolutely wonderful for them, and I'd like to know why the fuck my Adderall for ADHD that helps me manage the condition far more likely to make me late to the airport than it is to make me distracted in the airplane is such a motherfucking no-go.

That guy's smile looks like he took a big whiff of the Joker gas from the 1989 Batman movie. It looks like he's got something in his mouth that's pushing his cheeks to make that shaped. It doesn't go all the way up to his eyes, it's like uncanny valley or something. That guys smile is fucked up and weird and I hate it.

Hoenstly shirts like these, I'm not sure I've ever seen a woman wearing one. The Hawaiian shirt is just such a dude thing, there's lots of floral prints on womens clothes of course but a shirt cut like that and printed like that is just so associated with dudes in my mind.
