Hard disagree. Being a cop offers a lot of power and a defence of the status quo, which typically draws in a lot of bastards. If anyone tries to speak out about the bastards, they're harrassed for not being a team player. So cops are either full bastards, enablers (which makes them bastards) or harrassed until they quit.

All cops are bastards. If you're not a bastard, you either become a bastard or stop being a cop.

But what if ACAB is the one exception to the rule "every perfect rule has only one exception"?

Hey, you know the war on drugs? The one that overwhelmingly targeted black americans?

Also worth noting that the original Nazis were a political movement, so once Hitler rose to power, every german police officer had to align with the Nazi party. Their job was ALSO to protect people, and they used that as an excuse to target people they don't like, making up reasons for why they're dangerous.

But more specifically, the job of a cop is to uphold the law, whether it protects people or not. And it's up to the cops to decide where they need to uphold the law most, and to judge who broke it.

The thing is: which belief is the lie? Can cops not be bastards? Or is this guy not as nice as he appears to be?

Regimes tend to change with violent revolution, as it's rare for a person to willingly give up their own power. Revolutions have leaders, and those leaders are the ones responsible for distributing the power to the masses. But it's rare for a person to willingly give up their own power.

Even in the rare instance where a person does give up their power, all you need is for one person to take advantage of the system. Communism rewards people for their labours, but someone will need to judge how much people should be rewarded. One corrupt judge slips in, and the system corrupts with them.

Have you ever had a good applewood cheese? It's a nice, smokey taste. Anyway, my answer is oakwood, which is rarer but REALLY good.

Correct!

Your tag got a little messed up, but yeah. There is something more specific about those 5 specific ones if you want bonus points.

Nope. It's a difficult one to the point you won't blame yourself for not getting it.

Sands, dunes, desert, flamingo, riviera

Its like a math question. You need to show your working, even if you guess the right answer, or you don't get full marks for it.

This wouldn't give power to the people. This would give power to the AI companies. "Oh, the AI was able to read a lot of support for AI development out of everyone's request to fix the roads."

Most people would think about whatever benefits them in the moment, but rarely think about how to actually make it work. AI does not have the insight or grasp of reality to create an actual solution. Someone would need to interpret those requests, and that gives a lot of power to that person. "Yeah, the AI totally said higher taxes for everyone but me and the big business that bribed me."

Fortunately, nobody would be willing to cede their power to an AI network, so it would never actually happen.

I've got a bobble-head baby Groot. It's pretty handy to talk to, and it's a useful branch manager. Plus, it has root access.

Oh, it means that in England too. Jokes are made a-plenty.

To me, they're synonyms. Buns, rolls, baps... There's a ton of other terms for it, too, but those are the ones I use.

I think you are incorrect, an accurate description is not a personal attack.

Either you referred to what we call "buns" as "muffins" (and ate them without anything in them), which is weird, or you thought we called muffins "buns", which is also weird. And you were sticking to your guns while american-splaining to a brit about british culture (without even being right), which is weird and kinda offensive.

I've had enough of people hiding their bad behaviour behind a wall of "please be civil". I will be as uncivil as I like in calling out bad behaviour, and I will think very poorly of anyone who thinks I shouldn't.

You're here trying to explain my own culture to me, and you're not even right about it, and you're upset I'm upset about it? Is the phrase "personal attack" just your way of demonising the consequences of your own actions?

Those people were the weird ones, then. This is a bun.

If you do weird things, like mistaking muffins for bread rolls, I'm gonna call you weird. It's not a personal attack, it's an accurate description based on what I can see. You seem to have been misinformed, but are also trying to explain my own culture to me incorrectly, so I downvoted you. I think that's fair.

Please don't ascribe preference to other cultures. I'm british, and I had to google what you even meant by that. It's a breakfast muffin, and they're okay. I have one from time to time, no complaints, but I tend to order a breakfast wrap from McDonalds instead of a McMuffin.

The fact that it's not a traditional part of a full English should tell you something.
