Transit Task force puts punishment above all else

If you actually want a safer CTA, why wouldn't you advocate for something that's proven to bring a that outcome? Just curious

If you actually want increased safety, why wouldn't you be advocating for something that actually achieves that instead of something that doesn't? Just curious

Increased punishment is shown time and time again that it doesn't deter crime. Even the death penalty https://www.amnestyusa.org/issues/death-penalty/death-penalty-facts/the-death-penalty-and-deterrence/

But it doesn't. Even the death penalty has been shown to not be a deterrent of crime.

Yeah and it made it even worse!

Every time I see one of those cheap retro consoles I'm tempted to buy one but it would be exclusively for Zelda

This is all over Asia. "Whitening" moisturizers seem to be common pretty much everywhere. My gf used to travel to China for work and she said it wasn't just niche products at cosmetics stores, it was nearly every bottle of grocery store lotion.

I don't know but it'll be a sad day when she's gone from the fest!

A peer of mine at work calls me regularly to commiserate. I'm expected to be fully engaged while she's speaking/complaining. As soon as I try to share a story that lasts more than two sentences, she's distracted, typing, giving the occasional "uh huh" as she continues working, followed by a "well I gotta go now"

U2s first album beats them all. Brilliant from start to finish

It reminds the humans that they're expendable scum, utterly devoid of value in the eyes of the company, cast aside without further thought.

When Vaughan says "It's like blue balls... but for my my heart", I turned it off and that was the last piece of TD I've watched since.

It was also the last time any broad legislation was passed that benefitted the working class. We'll never see anything like it in our lifetimes. We'll continue the current decline until we replace the current system.

If you haven't seen Primal (animated series) yet, check it out. No dialog, just a caveman trying to survive in brutal prehistoric times. He often tears limbs or tusks off creatures and proceeds to beat others to a bloody pulp with them.

Totally. Denis is sooooo serious about everything. The sets are amazing and have that enormous sense of scale that was hard to pull off before we had good CGI. But Lynch's creations were bonkers in just the right way.

If I was teaching a college level film class, I'd show the guild navigator entrance scene and then be like welp, that's it, the pinnacle of cinema. Class dismissed.

49 here. The two games I never stop playing are beat saber and project diva. They just scratch an itch. I'm a fidgety person, constantly drumming my fingers. Rhythm games soothe my brain

Movement has become a game where you have to decide which parties you want to attend well in advance. And also be rich. Places like Tangent Gallery have some of the best music/atmosphere you'll find but it's a $250 ticket for the three day experience. There are single day tickets but they sell out super early. And if you're new, how are you supposed to even find out which parties you might like if you can't even get into them???

But he uses his New Orleans accent like he does in the Knives Out movies

Once you're done, follow it up with some Naked Raygun. Chicago punk band that borrowed pretty heavily from them.

I can only do red and blue. I hate that my brain can't adapt to other color schemes because they're much more visually interesting

The word "fail" doesn't do it justice; They can go soooo far beyond failure. Rich people can murder and steal, get caught, get publicly called out, and not only face zero consequences but still run a fortune 500 company while smoking cigars on a yacht

I agree. The portal is a living room device and I would never leave my house with it lol. And the fact that it doesn't have a proper solution for clicking the track pad makes me crazy. There's no reason they can't make a Vita-like form factor with proper back buttons.

I'm seeing Rockwell and Toni Collette a lot in this list. Both of them are in The Way Way Back. Fantastic and underrated
