Ok, in what countries do police have a duty by law to help people? And if the duty to help others comes from being human, then police are doing a fucking terrible job at fulfilling it

Police have no duty to protect anyone. Literally. There are no laws saying police have to help anyone. Police do not exist to help anyone.

To let them continue what? Commiting crimes? Guess what, we don’t, that’s what prison is for. Far better than killing people because your personal opinion is that they need to die

Either there is an acceptable number of innocent people that can be executed, or the government never makes mistakes. Which is it?

You know how you occasionally see articles about the male loneliness epidemic? Hi, that’s me. Haven’t spent more than a week around people in person in close to 5 years despite livingright next to a big city, struggling with depression and social anxiety, starved for physical and emotional affection but can’t bring myself to do anything about it, yeah. Snuggled and slept with an ace friend overnight on a couch at a big get together and it sent me into a massive depressive spiral! You know this meme?

Yeah that’s me. I’m definitely not an incel, I’m self aware and not entitled, the only thing holding me back is me and my stupid fucking brain. There’s hope, antidepressants and therapy have been helping a lot. I just feel like the posterchild for the struggling, lonely but not “redpill nutjob” guys out there

Maybe that’s why I got so many boners during physics

I mean, you want low friction, not no friction

Stamets you are too god damn relatable. This is literally me when I post femboy nudes on my alt account or on discord

Yeah, I haven’t and won’t make a plan but have often thought to myself that if I ever do kill myself that’s how I’m gonna do it. Literally just like falling asleep. I’d much much much rather take that than lethal injection

If I ignore all the problems with company towns, it sounds perfect tbh

Uhhhhhhhhh, very funny to recommend calling the police in the comments on a post about a man getting killed by the police because he called for help.

Something’s gotta be, may as well be this

On a more serious note, I have absolutely no basis for this whatsoever but I think it’s likely there’s an antimatter universe somewhere, and that that and our universe spontaneously came into existence from nothing. 0 = -1 + 1. I mean, it’s almost certainly nonsensical to the people who study this stuff but it’s a fun idea

Yeah, priuses are really low maintenance for the most part, it’s nice. And motorcycles aren’t necessarily the death traps people are making out here, higher risk yes but if you’re a defensive, aware driver and not a squid it’s really not bad. Motorcycles don’t tend to attract defensive drivers though.

Yeah I think this is a huge improvement to the app tbh

Probably because geography has had a huge impact on societies and cultures, if I had to guess

Math is definitely blue, science is definitely green. ELA was yellow, but history/social studies was purple.

No I instantly understood the kind of guy he was from that

Horrifying but I kinda like em

Yeah, obviously wages SHOULD be keeping up with inflation and inflation should be a low, stable amount. That’s the problem, not inflation in general.

A small amount of inflation is healthy. You REALLY want to avoid deflation, because that means the value of your money is increasing. If people know their money will be worth more in the future, they won’t spend it, incentivized to save and sit on it. That means on average everyone spends less, slowing the economy down and starting into a recession/depression.

Gonna slap this with the good old “I am not an economist” disclaimer, juat what I remember from economics class in high school
