Authorities say a man who posed as an undercover police officer kidnapped a woman in Seattle, drove her hundreds of miles to his home in Oregon and locked her in a cinder block cell until she bloodied her hands breaking the door to escape.

No one wanted it when he tried it with paypal to the point that he got kicked out. No one wants it now but he signs the paychecks so ultimately its his very expensive grave to dig. Seeing billionaires lose money brings me joy so I gotta say these past coupla days have been an absolute serotonin bomb

Within 8 feet I can understand- If you're apprehending someone fucked up out of their mind on whatever drug, you don't want to also worry about what duder with a camera phone might do or what guy your apprehending might do to them in the process of wrangling. Having camera person move to ten or so feet away is a fairly reasonable ask.

The public spaces in general bit? Bruh. That shits ridiculous.

They don't have the abortion debate anymore, the gay debate is a bit too mainstream to end well, the gun control debate is always there but not particularly in focus, and they don't have the states (yet) to repeal the 13th.

So what to rile their base up with? Transphobia and calling their enemies pedophiles, the latter of which is kinda par for the course, but the former is a relatively new patch on the ol' hate quilt.

Literally what’s the difference between this and nazi germany or the CCP?

me looking at pictures of a gas chamber and a downvote

I can't tell the difference!

I don’t think Spez or Dorsey started out dumb.

Can't speak for Dorsey but Spez started out standard libertarian tech dude dumb vis a vis making reddit "free speech" and enabling the jailbait and racism subs to exist.

The benzo addiction and russian coma were definitely things that happened. The brain damage is inferred with the whole "He had to re-learn how to walk and button his clothes"

Tldr kinda

He got addicted to benzos and had himself put in a coma in russia to cold turkey it (against advice to ween off it from doctors in north america). Shit got fucky and he got brain damage from it.

Couple levels of lols there since he did papers on drug addiction in the past and his schtick is not looking for easy answers... but thats the one he took.

reddit used to not have comments or even subreddits (Among the first ones were r/programming and r/NSFW, fwiw).

Because that works so well for Pinterest right? I mean, we all have Pinterest accounts so we can access all that content on Pinterest don't we?

Oh... we don't? People add -site:pinterest.com to their google searches to avoid the site entirely? Well then... dang.

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority has ruled a Christian graphic artist who wants to design wedding websites can refuse to work with same-sex couples. The decision is a defeat for gay rights.

For me, I'd rather not have biological immortality for simple reasons: The only way society generally progresses is when rich assholes die. As the guillotine is sadly out of fashion, we've had to rely more on natural causes.

Imagine Elon Musk living forever... or that million year old politician you hate... or those boomers constantly voting against anything to help the younger generation because "I got mine, fuck them kids". Then we get the overpopulation to go with it and... eesh.

Yes, have votes to remove moderators, I'm sure that would end with no issues at all for marginalized communities.

Man is not the sharpest tool in the shed.
