  • Brainrot zoomer language was pioneered by members of our generation, yet is cringe to us. Same with “XD :3 ><” and the generation before us. Stuff becomes cool because older people start it, only for younger people to embody it. “UwU” is a gift that we ought to respect (≧ω≦)






  • Cops are agents of violence, not designed to perform any duty beyond being the government’s muscle. Even when they do useful things like shutting down roads so the fire department can clean up car crashes, they’re doing that as a wall of force.

    However, the main thing people don’t understand about violence is that IT IS NEVER NON-LETHAL. Any less-lethal tool of violence, from tear gas to tasers, can kill. Rubber bullets and choakholds can kill! Even fucking pepper spray CAN KILL!

    I blame the media for showing heroes subduing people by knocking them unconscious. The entire concept is total fantasy; a cheap writing trick to prevent main characters from being murderers. If someone is unconscious for more than a few moments, they likely have serious brain damage.

    Batman being able to never kill is absurd fantasy logic that people go on to believe. Statistics dictate that eventually someone will die. Cops will always kill people. It’s their job. We shouldn’t rely on them for anything else, and attempting to use them as the main tool for reducing crime is a fool’s errand.
