It's both. Kids suck and can be clique-like over the dumbest things. But these corporations also realize the amount they can make when their brand is a "status symbol", and they purposely market around that.

These crack downs on erotica have been occuring in China. Are you implying they aren't happening, or that this specific one hasn't happened?

Essentially: Elon gets mad about the recent budget bill in congress. He's also angry he can't stay in his special government employee role full-time. He is also getting pressure from his shareholders for EV credits getting cut during his time in government.

Elon starts tweeting against the bill, and this starts a back and forth, with Elon and Trump fighting like exes trying to be vague

The subtext is quickly dropped and tensions amplify until Elon threatens to decommissioned his dragon rocket. Trump retaliates by saying that Elon kept him out of the loop on DOGE and was useless. This part is a bit hazy for me. But this is during their main spat when Elon was posting on Twitter non-stop.

This eventually culminates in Elon admitting publicly that Trump is in the Epstein files. Trump threatened to retaliate by pulling all government contracts that involve Elon's companies.

Elon, realizing he burned the last political bridge he has, is likely trying to salvage what he can. It is likely to go nowhere as Trump is as vindictive and petty as they come.

Jesus fucking christ. She died in a genocide you sack of shit.

And? He actively and gladly hurt/killed hundreds of thousands to quite possibly millions of people in Gaza through the military aid he supplied Israel for their genocide. Biden's ass cancer can't kill him fast enough.

And there it is. Fuck off, homophobe.

If anyone has a copy of the fliers I'd love to see them.

Fuck off, Nazi

Feel free to lie to yourself all you want. I'm done here.

The lack of it being mentioned by the police is a good reason to believe that Tazers and Pepper Spray were not used. Otherwise they would have lead with that when talking about this case. On top of that, the officer in question shot this man in the back. Three times. And I'm supposed to believe that all non-lethal means to stop this man were exhausted? I highly doubt it.

And just because a person does wrong and deserves punishment does not mean they deserve to be murdered by the state. This person had the potential to be dangerous. That doesn't mean that he gets an automatic death sentence because some cop decided so. And I'd very much argue unloading a gun in a population center is far more dangerous then any agitated man with a knife.

I may not have been there personally, but you weren't either. As far as I'm concerned, it's just as valid to be critical of the police in question as I have been. After all: you've been doing essentially the exact same thing by defending the police's actions without any evidence that they exhausted all other non-lethal means.

I am not sure how pepper spray is supposed to stop someone from wildly slashing around.

Blinding someone takes out a lot of their capabilities. It's hard to hit a target you can't see. And the vast majority of people with pepper spray in their eyes are going to grab at their eyes first from the pain/discomfort. I'm surprised I have to point this out.

Been many times proven to be unreliable: Highly depends on what the attacker is wearing or which mental state he is in.

The vast majority of people tend to tense up when tazed. Some people handle it better than others, but most people are getting stopped by a tazer. And again, pepper spray is another option if the tazer failed. The gun should have only been a last resort if no other options worked and the suspect was still trying to stab someone.

Guess we should task you with the investigation, since you appear to know a lot more than the rest of us.

They literally shot the man in the back three times, but K.

Do cops in Germany not have Pepper Spray? Do they not have tazers? It seems like there were plenty of options to deal with the threat at hand without killing them. But the cop decided to take the US approach of shoot first ask questions later.

You're being pedantic. The original point is referring to how indoctrinating the pledge of allegiance can be. If you're being made to do something since you're a very young kid and risk being scolded when you don't do it: you're essentially being forced.

You do realize fixing the water supply doesn't address the health issues caused from lead exposure automatically, Right? The water supply may be better comparatively. But the issues that it causes in Flint, Michigan are far from resolved.

Legally, schools and teachers can't force a student to perform the pledge of allegiance. But it's also taught so early in school that most students don't even question it as something to do.

Anectdotally: I was regularly performing the pledge of allegiance (literally said every morning of school) since kindergarten in the US. Also anecdotally: I've literally seen a teacher scold student(s) for not performing the pledge of allegiance. The latter case may not be as common; but the former definitely is common in the US.
