  • I just buy what's comfy. And cheap. Most of all, I buy the first pair that fits. Who has time to worry about style, really?

  • They still have a police mate. The city one was dissolved on the same day the county one started operations. There was not a day without police.

    Likewise, if you are basing your decision making on “what most people want to hear”, you probably are both a) not an effective strategist, and even further b) not a very good person.

    Maybe a better salesman than you though. Not that I'm a salesman at all.

    You're selling a nice system, but calling it total mayhem and anarchy. Nobody's gonna want to buy it.

    You seem to forget that people have to vote for things to happen. In a democratic system, anyway. If you want people to vote for police reform, call it police reform, not police abolishment. People read headlines, not articles. Most people read that a candidate is for police abolishment, it's an immediate nope for them. People don't want to live in a lawless society and nobody's gonna read into what the candidate says they mean by abolishment.

  • Can't remember the last time I had an interaction with a bona fide asshole. Everyone seems to be super nice to me.

    My ex on the other hand? Target audience for books like this. She has several books of this style. Everyone's an asshole to her. Everything is everyone else's fault. The entire world is out to get her. There's a reason she's my ex now.

  • The NAG1 transmission some 300s used in Europe at least, is in fact the venerable Mercedes 722.6

  • Female protags are rare. They used to be epic loot, but it's getting better now.

    I guess it's Portal for me too. Then Oblivion with a female character with that golden armor from shivering isles for shiny boobs. I was a horny teen and porn was getting boring lol

  • Yeah so others already explained it to you, but I'll give you a quick summary.

    Witcher is kind of a job title, but to get in you pretty much join a cult that gives you mutagens that give you cool powers, but also make you infertile and I believe resistant to STDs (this is why Geralt fucks so much).

    Ciri trained with the witchers of the Wolf school. I don't remember if she went through the mutations or not, but she has elder blood so she's already more powerful than Geralt. She's part of an end of the world prophecy. She's also essentially Geralt's adoptive daughter.

    By the end of Witcher 3, Geralt is getting kind of tired. There's literally no other Witcher in the universe more deserving to be the next lead than the spacetime manipulating princess who doesn't even want to inherit her real father's continent spanning empire because she'd rather be a badass Witcher.

    Hawaii maybe? Weather seems nice, same for the nature. Nice place to get your thoughts off murder.

  • Resentfully done

  • There's been exactly one school shooting in my country. Teacher bullied a kid whose father was a strict army man. Gave him worse grades on purpose knowing he'd have to run 20 km home for it, etc. So one day he went to school with a gun and shot that one teacher and nobody else. So that's what a shitty teacher (and a shitty father) can do to a child.

    Wasn't my hometown but I knew people who went to the same school at the same time. Nobody condoned the murder, but people did see where he was coming from.

  • Electric cars are to save the auto industry, not the environment.

    Jump

  • Oh definitely. The fewer cars there are on the road the nicer it is for me to drive. Make public transport better for everyone, reduce traffic!

    To be fair, I do not drive a lot in any particularly dense cities. Mostly countryside and for my main route, I use a shortcut that takes me off the boring highway, onto a curvy road that surprisingly few people use. I'm living the car commercials! Also I mean public transport for this particular route is nonexistent (one bus a day each way and they're hella uncomfortable). If public transport was better for my use cases and if I wasn't constantly lugging around a bunch of stuff, I'd sell my car and get a motorcycle to use on the weekends in the summer.

    Jump

  • Yeah. I haven't played 1 much beyond the first 10 minutes, was too janky. 2 was mostly focused on the war, with Geralt being the most important character IMO. In 3 he was no longer THE most important character, but he was a close second - out of a large cast of supporting characters that aided them on the way.

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camden_County_Police_Department

    Wikipedia seems to think they still have a police department. So the police as an institution isn't being replaced, it's just being reformed. It's controlled by a different level of local government and it has different rules now, but it's still police. If this is what you're supporting, you're not for abolishment of police, you're for police reform. Which the US does heavily need. Abolishment of police means something else entirely.

  • So they didn't abolish the police, they reformed it. That doesn't disprove my statement, which in itself was not a shot at you, merely commentary on what you said.

    You said

    They are an emergent property of large social systems. Society will re-invent the role. We might as well fill the niche in a manner we want, instead of a manner we dont want.

    And I don't disagree, I merely stated that police of some sort, regardless of name, is not just an emergent property, but also a necessity. I never said that the way Americans do policing is THE way to do it. I'm not American myself.

    Firstly, we already live in a lawless society; see any of the actions Trump has taken since January. Its just a matter of “for whom does the law apply?”

    That's more an America problem than a "police is inherently bad" problem if you ask me.

    TL;DR: Yes, I agree, policing in the US needs heavy reforms. But the moment you go around saying "abolish the police", you're not talking about reforms, or at least that's not what most people are going to hear. They're going to think they're going to have to live in The Purge. So maybe stop referring to it that way and people will give your ideas, which are actually good, more consideration.
