In other words, they’re only interested in punishing the ones that get caught, and they’ll only process it well after it’s happened so they can just deliver a slap on the wrist.

By definition, you can only punish the ones that get caught.

I’m not sure which countries don’t - the UK doesn’t. Germany does.

But German police seem to be eminently better trained than the US cops.

None of the icons in this meme are classed as “unskilled labour”.

A farmer? a bricklayer? are you fucking joking?

Do you have any idea how much a bricky gets paid. Probably more than you.

Another classic case of arrogant internet socialists with zero real world experience letting the mask slip.

OK, but why do you think you’re paying teenagers to work in McDonalds and not courting the best neuro-surgeons and rocket scientists?

What is it about their relative skillsets?

Except there are plenty of jobs where ten years of experience doesn’t equate to ten years better at the job.

There’s an upper limit to how efficient you can become at say - cleaning offices or picking up litter, or picking apples.

The cost of a new hire versus someone with ten years worth of experience just isn’t worth it.

What about if instead of giving police a free reign to commit brutality, he said something like “we’re going to vastly increase the funding that goes towards quality training; we’re going to reduce reliance on old military weapons and tactics; there will be less lawsuits because our police will be given a quality education.”

How about wanting the police to be the best at their jobs, rather than the most brutal?

It’s weird that he thinks of it as “blackmail” though, and a thing that’s happening to “him”.

Blackmail is when someone has damning evidence against you and they threaten to release it unless you do what they want.

We saw the damning evidence. It’s been released. This is the reaction.

Mastadon is chock a block with far left crazies.

Jesus fucking christ mate turn it in.

He did a comedy show where he repeatedly professed respect fir trans people but criticised the way some people behave, and you’re acting like he “isn’t fond or minorities getting rights”

It’s just fucking psychopathic gibberish with you lot.

If this guy was white he’d be racist against blacks.

What the fuck does that even mean?

He’s black.

Calm the fuck down.

I don’t think they are all the same, and not all of them cause “offence”.

“using the wrong tone” is by definition wrong, so of course it will cause confusion and irritation.

Wouldn’t it be aautistic or non-autistic anyway?

N95 was my phone when my friend got the iPhone One. I remember uselessly arguing that my N95 also played videos and music and all that iPhone stuff as well… Except, it was so fucking slow to take videos.

I remember standing in the street and seeing a massive huge brawl outside of a pub, loads of people doing all sorts of crazy shit and I was standing there desperately trying to record a video while the shitty, sluggish N95 missed it all.

That experience really scarred me because now I’m obsessed with the absolute quick-draw features of modern phones - like the Google Pixel.

I don’t even know if this is true, but I’d love to know more.

Maybe we’re worth £4 a month, but they just decided to pull a higher price out of their ass to dissuade everyone from paying.

I suspect the small amount of people who decide to pay will cost more in infrastructure, and causes more headaches to meta anyway.

Pung.

I understand that’s what people need to believe.

Did you read the entire sentence “the British occupying forces in Berlin”

British. In Berlin.

Who do you think had lots of curry powder?

Actually, I’m going to add something to my last reply.

“not wanting to be drowning in ads” is in no way shape or form a political decision.

If you mean “because adverts are capitalism” then you’re part of the deeply naive problem.

It’s perfectly plausible - because it literally has happened - for people to construct a platform under our system (which is also hybrid anywat) that allows for social media to exist without adverts.

You’re literally the kind of person when I mean when I talk about trying too shoe-horn politics into things when it doesn’t belong.

I see you can’t understand the difference between zealotry and normal discussion.

“I don’t want ro drowning in ads” doesn’t have to mean “but trump is Hitler evil Jews did this blah blah everyone who isn’t of my opinion is a murderer”

The British do too. Like we have to top five healthiest teeth in the world.

Americans need to stop confusing their memes foe actual knowledge and experience of the world.

Like, we bought and sold spice… For money.

People obviously wanted spice and paid for it.

That’s how trade and industry work. We didn’t just bring back exotic rocks.
