They posted the unblurred version too and it's still up.

This guy knows how to talk some shit and it's exactly what the Dems need to clown on the GOP.

I've heard some pretty weird ass views from vegans about the diet of Indigenous people who've traditionally relied on hunting and trapped.

I get what you're saying but I get weirded out by people who go from "violence is necessary" to glorifying it. I've seen people dying before and I don't think I'd ever find it satisfying to watch any human burning to death.

Justice is one thing but I think there's a lot of sick fucks who practically get off to violence or at least violence like this in theory because they've never seen some horrific shit firsthand.

Meanwhile sexual abusers practically get a free pass in the military. Still an ol' boys club.

Maybe if every town in the country has properly funded public transit that was safe and reliable, we'd see less situations like this.

My city's of public transit is a joke and we wonder why there's so many drunk drivers. Can't even sleep off the booze in your car without getting a DUI from some dickhead cop.

Extensive public transit hardly means functional. And women are far more likely to be harassed/abused on public transit than men.

Pretty weird that you're baselessly accusing this person of doing similar things just for asking whether or not she's doing this in the absence of a viable transportation alternative.

Like why are people on this site such dicks? It's way past Reddit levels of snark and it just makes for a shitty experience here. It's like hanging out with a bunch of jaded and snarky IT guys.

I'm no fan of shitty drivers and I think if we live in a world where license suspensions are a thing, that's fine but don't be surprised when stuff like this happens when public transit sucks. It may exist but there's a reason why a lot of folks prefer their car over poorly funded public transit.

Embarrassing. Especially when government entities insist on Twitter being the primary way they communicate with the public.

If Discord was open source, I actually would not mind paying a fee for it. Fixed or reccurring, ideally the former. But that's never happening. And forget buying that Nitro thing.

Until a viable alternative is presented, I doubt Discord will die anytime soon. Part of the problem is people have a hard time accepting that even if you make the best meal in town, you've gotta get people to step inside before they'll try it. To an extent, this does involve winning a popularity contest of sorts if you want Discord to die.

I think often times folks are torn between enjoying a space/app as is, and making compromises to attract a larger group. IMO Linux has the same issue and that's part of why die hard fanboys get so aggressively defensive when this is brought up.

It's the software equivalent of being the bitter "nice guy" that simultaneously wants to attract a girlfriend (users) but is kind of an asshole to women. You might think you don't stink but please wear deodorant.
