in your fantasy world where cops don’t exist, who intervenes when someone inevitably commits a crime?

Who intervenes when cops are around, though? I’ve been laughed at in my face and told they couldn’t do anything despite us having proof in the form of a brick through our window. Not even the restraining order was honored.

Or how about the time I got beat up and all they did was allegedly take some notes and tell me they couldn’t do anything because it was private property despite my fresh bruises?

Or them cat-calling a 15 year-old that they’re supposed to be protecting?

Kind of useless if you ask me, and I haven’t even gotten to the malicious stuff like locking up my brother in law for a year and pressuring for ransom and sacking his family’s home.

It’s kind of insane how much we believe in their image rather than rely on their actions to even dare be so condescending.

Japan was doing that a couple of years ago.

Oh god no. There are many objectively predatory beliefs and dangerous ideas out there. This is irresponsible.

They know and don’t care.

I was not expecting a literal rainbow road.

Ok? He can go down that hole, but the programmers will congregate. I’d like to see him then.

Some of us are still getting up to speed.

No, I never lived in a rich town. lol I find it odd you assume that. And mind you, this was in 6 different states between the US and Mexico.

I can’t recall ever having shitty teachers in public schools up until uni. In fact, I got amazing teachers who cared and sometimes went above and beyond. None of them came to school drunk, save for one uni teacher who was also named the top surgeon in my city. 🤷‍♂️

Time to double down on the adblocks, then. I get it conceptually, but I still don’t understand this need for infinite growth at everyone’s expense.

I’ll say it. It Zucks.

I feel your pain. Welcome to Lemmy.

Money + downtime + not very smart?

I’m not a fan of how the post titles compete with the neon bars for my attention, but otherwise it looks nice.

We’ll handle it, thanks. We don’t need the US meddling in our territory.

Welp, I guess I’m all out of money for new tech. Time to travel or find a new hobby.

So a gay man would have to, on average, give a blowjob 9 times more frequently than a woman to break even.

Pfft. Bro, I’ve blown 6 men in 1 day. I’m a dude. I doubt women would be up for a blowjob a week, but I know plenty of gay men who would do it every day of the week if they could.

Can confirm I ain’t got time to hold in a fart.
