  • Average police officer salary in the US is 60k.

    Do you know the average salary in the US? Also 60k.

    Wouldn’t you rather have an average job instead of an “I could be killed today” job? We all would.

    And so the only people that actually want to take average salary at the risk of death are people that are power-hungry and murder-hungry.

    You aren’t gonna get better training at this salary level. You aren’t going to get a system that pays Walmart Manager salary that also has some rigorous hiring and training process that teaches you how to make split second life or death decisions.

    This isn’t the secret service. It’s Walmart Managers with guns.

  • No one’s right to free speech is absolute. You’re taught this in middle school. Trump should go to jail.

    That being said - this is what journalism is now. All you have to do is write an article that will be shared on social media so that people can circle-jerk underneath it.

    “Experts say Trump broke the law. Badly.”

    Get that on the internet and watch your engagements shoot through the roof with zero effort on your part.

    “Anyone paying attention knew this years ago”

    “Why is he not in handcuffs already”

    “Won’t matter to his supporters. You can’t talk to these people.”

    Comments rolling in. Ad revenue rolling in. Media staff members high-fiving as their quarterly goals are met and they are drinking rum and cokes on the clock because how does this shit pass as a journalism gig.

  • Bidet attachments for your toilet are about $30 and you can install it yourself with zero skills in 30 minutes.

    Wouldn’t you pay $30 to never have to wipe shit again? Just dry off and that’s it. Greatest thing imaginable.

  • Yeah I feel that.

    Honestly I’m going to sound like an old man but the internet ruined society in a lot of ways. I mean I’ve enjoyed its benefits my whole life and my profession is centered around it. No doubt it has benefits.

    But we were not ready for it. Technology advanced faster than human beings matured. We weren’t prepared for this thing that could grant us all of our wishes instantly.

    On top of that, talking with someone on the internet is absolutely not how you talk to people in real life. Yet, most of our conversations happen on the internet. It trains you to be able to turn off experiences that you don’t like. It trains you to be uncaring towards people with no repercussions.

    So when you are in the real world, it’s like you forget how to cordially coexist with people.

    It is tragic. Like you said.

  • When you’re young, social interaction is just so engrained in your daily life.

    School, hang outs, nightlife. The opportunity to be social is never ending.

    But you don’t fully understand at the time that those opportunities get erased quickly, and all that’s left are the people you fully invested in when you were young.
