  • Toggle lights off and on. Still hard to do. Often people are too stupid to understand and turn on their brights just to be a jackass.

    Sounds like you're European, which explains some of your beliefs.

    In the US, cops steal more than burglars: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/11/23/cops-took-more-stuff-from-people-than-burglars-did-last-year/

    Lie constantly about the violence they commit: https://mappingpoliceviolence.org/

    Plant evidence constantly:

    That doesn't even touch on our for-profit prison system and qualified immunity which allows them to get away with it more often than not.

    In the US, they are nothing more than the gang that has ways to extort you.

  • The inefficiency. Why the fuck are we walking so goddamn slow? Why can't you eat faster? Oh god, don't make me watch you not use keyboard shortcuts. Why is everyone living like they want to be here in this goddamned line more than anything else in life?

  • I was in 3rd grade when 9/11 occurred. I grew up never having memory of a time that our country wasn't at war.

    Yeah, 9/11 was a tragedy, but so is the hundreds of thousands of civilians that were killed overseas due to the war. Every year it gets harder and harder to care about this. Why does this senseless violence get commemorated every year with banquets and memorials worth millions of dollars while so much other senseless violence gets ignored?

    Is it really ethically okay to spend so much money and time on one incident? Why do we give this one tragedy that occurred over 20 years ago so much attention when there are people who need help today?

    Sorry to rant, but I cant help the feeling that our priorities are fucked up.
