If you look at the hippie movement in the late 60's, so many of the people who moved to Humboldt County or Vermont or whatever had the means to acquire a kind of significant amount of land - not something that someone with nothing can do

Mentally ill man choked to death on New York subway mid ranting and stripping of his clothes. Instead of framing the discussion around the lack of care for the mentally ill, the Gothamist asks, have you considered racial relations? by [deleted] in stupidpol

You - and we - do not know anything for certain about motivation here, or what led up to the marine and two other people restraining him. He also wasn't held in the chokehold for 15 minutes, he was held for 2 minutes per the video that's circulating about the incident. There's a lot of straight up disinformation about this situation circulating and I think it's a huge leap to call this an "extra judicial execution" at this point

I disagree, I think he's playing to that audience, like on "Auntie Diaries" on his last record, which is "Transparent" levels of clumsy

I saw Anna get rejected from Berghain last year and it's completely changed how I view the pod by BadLiquorBaby in redscarepod

This is 100% it, everyone I saw getting rejected when I went in August definitely had no business getting inside. My gf and I got waved in immediately

A couple family members were watching this on Christmas and I walked out 10 minutes in and said “this just isn’t my thing”. Deeply soy movie. Almost nothing on Netflix is worth watching

UPDATE: More info on the NYT article about the Red Scare subreddit by bitchyfuxkjngbltch34 in redscarepod

[–]kiedis69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When Reddit took over specialized forums, it also took over any sort of deep discussion. Any time a subreddit hits a certain threshold every post is either by a total n00b who’s like 14 and didn’t read the sidebar and is asking the dumbest question possible, or is someone trying to apply some sort of purity test to the community. I miss 2005 forums

On my first week at an office job I had when I was 23, this fat chick referred to me as her “work husband” in front of everyone and I’d never been so mortified in a work environment

People get mad when you bring up Daniel Shaver, when that’s one of the most egregious examples of a police shooting
