One big protest can easily be shut down. Split this into dozens of protests at different intersections and the cops will be hopelessly outnumbered at every location.

When in doubt, always remember that most people aren't actually good at their jobs, especially when shit goes wrong.

Cops are hired based on their ability to follow orders, and specifically not for their ability to solve problems.

Also, the little shit shooter was kicked out of his highschool gun club for being a terrible shot.

Any other inconsistencies come from people trying to cover their asses after the fact.

What they really objected to, a black woman.

But, sometimes it's more fun to let the players go. Especially if they keep the game and the table separated.

Cross lines in game, but keep the table clean? Then keep going.

Cross lines at the table, and the game ends until everyone has talked it through. And sometimes the game is just over.

This story sounds like it stayed in game enough, but may have been scratching at the table. Enough to pull back and talk for a moment, but not enough to kill the game.

There's actually a somewhat brand new miracle treatment for cancer that uses individual atoms of actinium-225.

Each cancer cell gets a single atom, and then it dies when that atom decays. And since it's an alpha decay, the cell gins some high energy helium. That's it.

Well, the atomic nucleus of a helium-4 atom. Which then rips some electrons from whatever it collides with.

And then that happens a few times to produce bismuth-209, which has a halflife of 2x10^19 years. Which means it's perfectly safe.

Anyway, this treatment, called targeted alpha therapy is specifically approved for Bone metastasized prostate cancer, and significantly improves survival rates vs placebo.

It's not that good against solid tumors

Any country riddled with landmines. They're the only ones that need it.

War crimes if you force enemy soldiers to do it. Technically forcing enemy soldiers to do anything at all is a war crime.

Not war crimes if it's community service ordered by a judge due to conviction for crimes committed by the subject.

Fun fact, Condorcet is the inventor of RCV, and threw it out because it almost never produces the Condorcet winner.

I'm an opponent of RCV for none of those reasons.

No, I hate it because it's deeply flawed and provides zero of the benefits that proponents claim it does.

Rather than help third parties, it actually hurts them.

The inventor of the system, created it as an example of a bad voting system. This was in 1790.

There's far more ballot spoilage when compared to any other system.

It doesn't eliminate the spoiler effect, just kicks it down the ballot a bit,

It's confusing to count, which has led to the wrong candidate being sworn in.

It requires centralized counting, which is a single point of failure or attack.

And finally there are better, simpler systems that actually do the things that RCV proponents claim RCV

Vegeta killed Yamcha once, and Buu killed him a second time.

Technically it wasn't even Vegeta, it was just the little green men that Vegeta and Nappa had seeds for.

Krillian was actually alive to see that death.

As for the death by Buu, that was being turned to chocolate and then being eaten.

Krillian still has him beat on number of deaths, picking up an extra death on planet Namak.

It's a fun game, and the movement system was not actually that hard to learn.

But the upper level players are all doing animation interrupts to put out crazy combos for much faster movement and attacks.

A beginner will learn these interrupts just by playing an hour or so, but chaining them? That takes skill and dedication beyond the norm.

I do remember winning the occasional match, but it was rare. Overall it was a fun game.

GunZ is still around? I played that game back in the day. I remember the skill curve being somewhat vertical...

If you want to be sad, read up on the Residential Schools.

1948 was 50 years before the last of those hellholes closed.

And yes, Canada has semi-officially recognized it as a cultural genocide. With actual genocide recognition passed by the House of Commons in 2022.

Trump didn't force Netanyahu into a ceasefire, that's a blatant lie.

The two announced a ceasefire and then, never actually ceased firing. So yeah, I'll agree that a fake ceasefire was never a possibility under Biden, because he would never have gone along with it.

Also, the reports are still saying that Harris was not a fan of Biden's policy on Israel. So yes, the worse option is so much fuck worse than the alternative. The worse option is speedrunning the genocide, trying for a new record of innocents killed in the shortest timeframe.

There are far more, but those two are already enough to prove the point.

Trump has imposed sanctions on the ICC, the International Criminal Court, because they ruled against Israel.

This has actively harmed the ICC in their mission.

USAID was feeding Gaza, Trump has ordered the food to rot in storage rather than disburse it.

And there are dozens of other things that Trump has gleefully done to specifically hurt Palestinians.

While the lesser evil was bad, the greater evil is so much worse.

There are a few small scale chocolate companies that actively avoid child labor.

And then there's Nestle on the opposite side of that spectrum. Not just child labor, but child slavery.

They talk a good game about eliminating child labor, but always seem to look the other way in their supply chain.

Chameleons don't actually change color the way people think they do.

First off, the natural state of a chameleon is green, which blends in to the forest fairly well. Their color change is a mating tactic, and so favors bright and vibrant colors.

A chameleon changing colors isn't hiding, they're horny.

Or angry. Or scared, or well, any strong emotion. Basically a chameleon is a living mood ring.

Now, if you want true instant camouflage, that's an octopus. They can not only change colors, but their own surface texture. In their case, they get the info about what to look like from their numerous suckers alone their legs.

That list is super helpful. So many games to avoid. Although, I was somewhat surprised by the number of Denuvo removed I've gotten through Humble.

Pretty sure that they named themselves. So closer to propaganda.
