I was saying it from the perspective of my experience as a member of the audience. Recall the people that justify their victimization instead of doubting their worldview. Compare that with people who change their minds. As audience, I prefer one of those endings more than the other.

I don't really think in terms of sides or political warfare. I expect the world to continue to crumble for as long as I live. This is just entertainment, hopefully with a nice lesson at the end.

What does she think now, though? That's what matters most.

EDIT - okay so I went ahead and looked into it. The woman (name is Estíbaliz Kortazar) was a volunteer in some organization that helps the homeless. Full of goodwill and wanting to help, she took in some homeless Arab migrant, both signing a rent contract for €350 per month. After a few months it all went to hell and he spooked her away, taking over the place (Spain has strong squatter rights). She now says she'll never rent a room or offer that kind of help again.

The price of feel-good naiveté.

Get stabbed thrice and you can't even shoot the guy, you have to struggle against him with a non-lethal baton while he holds a knife and your punctured organs bleed.

Anyway, what do you even call this: soft-suicide by cop?

Idiot. Way to cripple your audience reach.

Beheading is not a European tradition.

The French could argue otherwise.

I see a gesture, not a threat. Out of context, could mean anything. No indication that it was aimed at "Europeans".

Inflammatory rage masturbation title.

These bodycam videos do a lot to humanize cops. You care more about what they're going through than the mere morbid curiosity of the crime portrayed.

  1. Some vague irrealistic storyline about Paramount getting sued and how Trump might cancel South Park (?)

I think they were implying that Colbert was cancelled for being anti-trump instead of nobody caring to watch his show.

But yeah, the episode was shit. Like I've said before, the writers lost touch at least since 2016. They don't know what they're doing anymore.

I guess I've adopted the only attitude that'll protect me form this kind of disillusionment. Call me jaded, or mature, but the solution is to stop caring about this stuff. Don't watch their garbage, don't give them money.

I never watched Chip n Dale, but apparently the fly was a pet that didn't even speak.

Meh. Their fault for caring this much about a corporate franchise.

For women, attractiveness is tied to status. It's not pathetic, it's nature.

So this app is like a Glassdoor for rating men in a dating context.

Probably no protections against defamation.

Paywalled link. WTF dude.

BTW it seems to be a Glassdoor for rating men. Probably no protections against defamation.

I doubt there's legal grounds for denying them living there, unless the entire place is private property.

Sounds like a doomed endeavor.

What happens with deliveries if the driver is black?

People as a whole were less histrionic. Today's people are more animalistic and impulsive. The west's cultural decline reflects on the psychology of the general population.

It's just a stupid TV show.

Colbert was popular when Christians thought he was dog whistling to them.

People die all the time. Maybe you're just old enough that the people you know of are passing away. When you were younger, you didn't know/care about celebrity obituaries.

Do they take them at their word or what?
