Yup. Plus manufactured drama and entertainment.

When youve only got a hammer, every problem is a nail.

I always LOVED NYPD Blue growing up because the detectives actually seemed to care. They just wanted to catch the killers/rapists, could give a shit about your parking tickets. They seemed like genuine people who were only looking out for the public. They even went out of their way to keep people out of jail that weren't involved.

I'm very anti-police, but the gut instinct and feelings can't be quantified, it's a feeling you get after you talk to someone, or hear them speak that says "something feels off and we need to look further into this".

We've all felt it after certain situations. It's obviously not evidentiary for court, but is a starting point to an investigation. Especially in crazy cases where you may be talking to a person that chops people up in their garage.

Using that tactic on someone with a broken tailight is nonsense though lol.

It always existed with credit cards.

I question my showers.

Ours have stuffed animals too. When my kid gets a new one, we wash and donate one to the library in a sealed bag. Ours have much better books than that forced religion crap though.

No, but I like movies about gladiators.

I always liked "where's your business?"

 

Was watching this video and it clicked that you could be fucked on a lie and can't do shit but go to jail and wait for a judge - https://youtu.be/-4D5V19zqFc

I knew this before, but this video brought it home. Paraplegic accused of kicking down a door and dumbass cops not doing anything "but their jobs", no common sense at all.

 

Surely there aren't enough people walking them constantly to mash the grass to death, is there some kind of membrane placed under the dirt to stop grass growth?

Here is a pic of worn path from walking on, rough edges, clearly not intentional.

Will post pic after walking the dog of the trail that I'm speccifically curious about.

Discovered them from the movie Companion recently, but from the 80s. Nice easy music, slight synthwave feel.

 

When I was around 8, a neighborhood kid was swinging around a light pole, just a plain metal pole but it had the wirenut box attached to the side about a foot from the ground, which he was standing on while spinning.

His foot slipped, the corner of this box ripped his ankle open, cut right up from the top of the shoe about 6 inches into his lower calf/ankle.

He screamed and ran home, blood pouring everywhere. Saw him a few days later with massive stitches and bruising all over his leg. Wasn't as bad as it looked, but fuck me it still makes me wince thinking of my ankle being sliced by a dull metal corner by weight and gravity alone.
