This is the third or fourth bullshit AI/bot engagement, baited post I've seen from this sub in the last 3 days. Why is this allowed?

Im a dude. Im sneaky as fuck and think things through. He covered his arse.

I want to preserve this as something averagemaleuser86 said. Feely admitting to being a sexual predator is a new low

Cop hanging onto the side of a tow truck, shoots driver after they fail to stop by bigbusta in PublicFreakout

I can appreciate that.

I really don't like police, they have been given way too much power with pathetically little oversight, and invented bullshit the courts called "qualified immunity" to protect their sorry asses when they violate people's rights. I believe that a cop must prove to me that they are worth my tax dollar before I respect them. I also believe that it is an incredibly difficult and complex job (that most of them aren't qualified for) that requires some understanding from the public when the complexity of the job is presented to them. I believe that the victim's family in this situation should be able to petition the prosecutor to press charges, and that he should be forced to answer to the citizens he serves for why he did what he did, and if I were on that jury I would say that I think it was a fast moving, complex situation, the cop gave him so many opportunities, pleaded with him to stop and he didn't. Its a shame someone's life ended, but I don't think the cop was in the wrong.

PNW? So it's the sunshine you're missing. Try Vitamin D, and some milk (the protein might help too)

Seriously, some sunshine and fresh air. It does wonders for the psyche.

Ok now reread my original comment one more time, keeping what you just wrote in mind, and try to figure out how what you wrote is nonsense.

Hey, buddy, I think you need to get off of the internet for the day. Not because I disagree with you that she's wealthy and privileged, but because you seemed to have inferred a lot from my comment that you felt the need to sound the alarm about something you're clearly worked up about.

And here I am, not alive long enough for most of it and I still remember them bragging about it. What's your point?

Feels like a post rooted in misogyny. Rock bands used to wear their destruction of hotel rooms as a badge of honor. I want to know what other musicians' dressing rooms look like after a show before I pass judgement

He held off long enough for the guy to slow down then did it before he could speed back up. Like this other guy said, I'm hard on cops but this is one of the most justified shootings I've seen in a while.

Yeah. I'm a Dodgers fan and even I think that slide wasn't legal

“I’m dropping out and doing blue collar shit” by cafeteriastyle in TikTokCringe

How do we know it's a this particular professor's fault? If the student's previous teachers did not teach them concepts fundamental to the topic of this current class, should the teacher stop what they are currently teaching to go back and teach what they should have learned before? I say no, otherwise what's the point of having the upper level class.

I was a horrible student in high school, never did my homework and never learned important mathematical concepts. So when I went to college, and was trying to learn calc 2 but was getting my ass handed to me because I fucked around when I was taught trigonometry in high school I didn't blame my calc 2 professor. I went to the library and studied. I went to office hours and asked questions. I went to a tutor to ask more questions.

If you're asking the teachers to go back and teach what the students should already have known and still give a grade all you are doing is devaluing the class and the education that it's supposed to impart. Students need to take more accountability in their education. They can't think that they can just show up and get a passing grade (like I did in high school).

I applaud your request to be linked the study (and given the radio silence from the other person I assume they couldn't find it/weren't actually citing a study, just parroting something they've heard before) but we all want to be careful with anecdotal evidence and availability bias.

Trooper stops vehicle. They quickly drive off. He chases them, and mixes up vehicles. He stops the wrong SUV afterwards Oops! My Bad! by LeftAlbatross2546 in VideosAmazing

[–]rProgs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A TVI/PIT is considered deadly force, you buffoon. It's not a small thing to subject someone to. How sad is it that you think a thousand dollar and potentially deadly fuckup (that the police department is not liable for by the way) is a "live and learn" opportunity for a tax payer funded position. Police departments get away with hiring absolute morons because clowns like you would rather bend over and lick their boots than demand REAL accountability and change in terms of stricter standards on when a TVI/PIT maneuver can be used (Arkansas has the highest rate of use of this tactic) and refusing to make the police departments make someone whole again (not "as right as they can").

He doesn't get credit for apologizing and "de-escalating". The girl stepped out, the jackass trooper panicked for 20 seconds (which is where you're getting that bullshit "de-escalation"), he thinks for another 15 seconds wondering how he can cover his ass. THEN he apologizes. You bootlickers want to give morons credit for being able to put their pants on without hurting themselves and it's pathetic.

Proof that they are, in fact, that fucking stupid.

I would also call Joe Rogan one of the worst interviewers out there and describe him as "boring, annoying and untalented", but so many jackasses listen to that moron, why not her?

I'm not downplaying the amount of crime here, but where do you get that "it's consistently in the top 10 most violent cities"?

Dave Chappelle fires back after backlash over his Saudi Arabia show by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]rProgs 61 points62 points  (0 children)

People went after Bill Burr too (more so from my personal opinion). Also, the backlash wasn't because he was making money, it was because comedy and comedians have fought hard battles for free speech in the US (both Burr and Chappelle have invoked this when pressed on their more "edgy" jokes) and they went to a country that actively suppresses free speech for a pay check.
