  • Cops are notorious pussies and scared of their own shadows. Police work is less dangerous than delivering pizzas in America but you don’t see Domino’s drivers strapped up with one hand on their gun when knocking on doors - yet police get away with this because in their mind everyone is a criminal out to get them, and not a member of their community that they swore to protect.





  • I think Discord does a lot of things that no one other program can also do. There are certainly better programs out there for voice chat, for text chat, for screen sharing, etc. but none of those programs that do it better can do all the other stuff.

    If Discord dies, you would need like two or three other apps to replace all of the features you’ve lost.

    For people who only use Discord for voice, it’s easy to say “Let’s just got back to using TeamSpeak or Ventrillo”, but if you also used Discord to stream your games to your friends, you now need to find another alternative for that since TS and Vent don’t have that function and likely never will.

    It sucks because I think the Discord app is great for what it does. Yes, it creates information silos when everybody uses it for their support/documentation, but before Discord it was Facebook/Twitter and I didn’t use those platforms either. I like that Discord is packed with features and the most basic ones are free to use. Finding an alternative will be tough.






  • I’ve never understood their disdain for liberals. They don’t like them because… they’re easy to goof on? Because some people, both liberals and conservatives, have no concept of nuance?

    There are absolutely some episodes of South Park where I fundamentally, vehemently disagree with the political statement it’s trying to make. I don’t know if that is their unique brand of politics seeping into the episode’s discourse, but I can hardly expect them to hit the bullseye every time and I’m still able to appreciate the show in general.
