Tips are bullshit and workers should be required to paid a living wage.

Police dogs should be abolished. They only exist to intimidate people and give police a free pass to violate the rights of people by giving them an excuse to search people that is somehow not considered bullshit despite being as reliable as a dowsing rod.

Sucks that this one died because the police couldn't even take care of their job pet.

Parroting bullshit labels like 'coronation' when describing the logical decision to promote the VP candidate is feeding into conservative propaganda, even when presented this way.

Some attorneys say it's not practical, especially for tenants with overdue rent.

You don't say!

Yes, we need to accept that it is broken and move on to something that isn't

Yes, going out of the way to make something more annoying by imposing loud sounds on everyone around them is like yelling at everyone.

Trump being worse deosn't mean we can't criticize Biden right now as the sitting president. I have been very supportive of the need to vote for Biden over Trump, but the Democrats need to stop doubling down on denying the atrocities in Gaza already.

Like they aren't even using nuance or anything at this point. Threateninng the ICC is absolutely ridiculous.

Their job is intimidation, so they are succeeding.

I think their approach to team killing is part of why the user base is so forgiving of team killing.

It is included in the training and baked into the game play by having generous respawn limits. There are jokes about it baked into the promotional materials. Everyone expects to be team killed on accident, so people tend to assume any team killing is accidental. People who might otherwise team kill on purpose will either get their fill through accidents or will not get immediate reactions that feed their trolling.

So by keeping the team killing in the game they have also defused a lot of possible trolling while also having people just accept it as part of the game, especially when non-player initiated features like turrets and backpacks are the worst offenders for team killing.

Finding it funny is a great approach, kudos to the devs.

Speaking of not tip toeing things:

controversial 2015 death of Freddie Gray

The murder of Freddie Gray. The cops knew that what they did was dangerous because they have to clean up car accidents. Choosing to give someone a 'rough ride' is premeditated murder or attempted murder and anyone other than a cop would be charged.
