Every time I get on the couch, I lose the function of my right arm.

Silly human. That is the function of your right arm.

All else is wanking.

His last sentence makes me re-parse the Reddit headline.

Unfortunately, you can't fight vigilantes with vigilantes.

Wait until James Cameron gets a hold of him.

Having permission to be an annoying ass doesn't really change much.

But the fact it's something we are familiar with, like lions, makes it harder to do CG versions, not easier.

You are probably exactly right, but this makes me sad anyway.

American Justice. Step (1): We need a millionaire.

This country is sooooo broken.

Tasers are never actually used the way they were supposed to be used when adopted by police forces, which was supposed to be "when deadly force would be the only other option."

They're almost always used as torture/compliance devices, just like all the detractors worried they would be.

"Charged" is not anything useful happening. It's the potential for something to happen.

therealtimlopez · 16 days

What makes or does not make the "all cops are bad" argument isn't usually what any specific cops do, it's how the rest of the force will fall in line to lie, footdrag, obstruct investigations and/or perjure themselves as necessary to "protect" the (few, rare) guilty cops.

And that's why they won't get prison time. If prisons were safe, the way they should be, this wouldn't be such a factor.

Unrelated to these murderers...

As much as it might feel truthy in your gut, there's no actual evidence that attaching the death penalty to a crime has any deterrent effect. (And, heck, if there was such an effect, the US crime rate would be a lot lower than in countries where it doesn't exist.)

Terminology warning: Holistic medicine isn't necessarily bad. Many (most?) legitimate medical doctors, including such folks as The American Cancer Institute, say nice, though careful, things about its value as part of an overall system of health care.

Homeopathic medicine, on the other hand, is outright quackery. That's the woo-hoo where water allegedly has a magical memory and can retain "imprints" of diseases and cures even when there's not a single molecule of anything but water in the vial. You then sell the vial for $100.

When both of these extremes, from the safe-and-maybe-helpful all the way to criminally false, are combined into something called "alternative medicine", it's not horribly fair or helpful.

To be fair, there's a big fear of insert-other-here in America.

Anything foreign or different, basically.

kn0thing · 16 days

That's actually standard advice, nearly word for word, for any TV appearance. How could you not have noticed this?

Taters625 · 16 days

If you accept OBL's actual stated reasons, they certainly were not religious.

Taters625 · 16 days

I'm with you. I can almost forgive the first one, when I'm in the right frame of mind.

But the second, that was a war crime.

Taters625 · 16 days

And all these years people have been telling me he's a co-pilot.

Maybe he finally got promoted.

Taters625 · 16 days

So he made a poor graphic different. Still poor, just different?

Taters625 · 16 days

Exactly. It's a mess, iconographically.

(This is why graphic designers need real college degrees.)

All of them?

[Head explodes]

But... the second one isn't funny?

humortogo · 19 days

You realize he was kidding, right?

what_should_i_do_man · 19 days

She is not playing hard to get. You were.

lamaface21 · 19 days

They do get worse. He has a good idea, milks to it to death, and then keeps on going, and going, and going...
