Last one I ate was a Subway order, it was like… an italian BMT. I had tomatoes, onions, and lettuce as vegetables, cheddar cheese, some olive oil, and the sauces were parmesan and seasoned herb mayo on a butter and garlic bread.

It was fine. Brazil does have higher standards for food, so it was pretty good and filling. I just uh, had a bit of trouble with the pepperoni spice but that’s mostly cause I’m a lightweight when it comes to that 😅

Brazilian here, your point about cars is very nice, but, as much as compact hatches are still the biggest sellers, Brazil has unfortunately been suffering very hard with the whole “SUVfication” bullshit. It’s to the point where some car manufacturers will just make a small hatch family car slightly larger, give it like 3 more inches of ground clearance, somewhat bigger wheels, and then call it an SUV, and all the soccer moms flock to it like lemmings (this is the entire philosophy behind the Renault Kardian. It’s literally just a Gen III Dacia Sandero with different body panels and lights that is a little taller off the ground).

She seems like a badass.

I have no idea who that guy is 😭

Commissioner Gordon is the only good cop. I respect him more than any other Batman character, even Bats himself.

But he literally does. The problem is that Gotham is literally fucking cursed in a way that makes people aggressive and evil. And like, I don’t think that kinda stuff would stop the Joker from bombing orphanages, or Black Mask/Penguin from running protection rackets, or stop Killer Croc from literally eating people, or stop Nigma from putting people in actual Saw traps…

Like, a good portion of Batman’s rogue gallery are people that the police CANNOT deal with. Hell, I would argue that even an entire counter-terrorism unit couldn’t deal with the bullshit the Batman rogues pull in a weekly basis.

EDIT: Oh yeah, let’s not forget half of the police in Gotham (if not ALL OF IT) is corrupt and is getting bought by those SAME rogues.

Abundance of guns does not indicate that the country is more prone to violence, though. Switzerland has significantly laxer laws on who can own a gun than over 20 US states, EVERYONE is obligated to own a fully automatic SG550 from their military service, and a vibrant gun culture, and yet, no one’s going around shooting people. It’s a result of right wing extremism, decades of propaganda running on people’s TVs, toxic right wing gun culture that is not countered by responsible gun culture from the left because liberals hate guns (and only because it became a problem for them after school shootings became common), and the refusal of government to address those issues. To add to that, white liberals literally take over ANY gun control talk and make it about their white feelings. That’s exactly what’s happening here with you. Despite minorities being the lead in support for gun control, we literally do NOT ever get to talk about our experiences. The only thing that matters in gun control discussions is white liberals putting their feelings and their feelings ONLY in the table, and advocating for assault weapon bans (which wouldn’t matter), universal background checks (that already exist) and “common sense gun control” (which they change the definition every time to suit what they think). And liberal politicians also add fuel to the fire by EXCLUDING COPS FROM CERTAIN BANS and giving them more and more budget to “fight crime” every year.

There is no such thing as a “mass shooting problem” because it literally kills less people per year than GETTING STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. The media turns every single one of those into a spectacle and that’s why the majority of people think it’s such a problem. Police violence, on the other hand, is NOT statistically insignificant, and especially not for POC. After the assassination of the UHC CEO, the media literally turned every other time a CEO died into just a damn footnote, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT COPYCATS. The media can stop making those mass shootings a spectacle, but they won’t, because IT GIVES THEM MONEY.

The gun control movement has a HUGE problem with white supremacy, including from people who THINK they’re not being racist, and then proceed to support liberal politicians with tough on crime policies who give 12 gorillion dollars to the cops of big cities so they can purchase MRAPs, IFVs, fully automatic rifles and tons of other shit they don’t fucking need. And the SCOTUS ruling doesn’t matter, just get yourselves a SCOTUS that would rule cops have an obligation to help and investigate everything.

Please listen to us. Common sense cop control WILL solve all of this shit you mentioned without ever touching gun laws.

Oh whoop, wrong. There’s been only 14 deaths. Which one of these are actual mass shootings and not something the FBI defines as one but the media doesn’t? Like a bunch of gangbangers shooting at each other, wounding nobody, and causing a stampede that results in people twisting their ankles? That’s considered a mass shooting by the FBI.

I pulled the numbers straight from here. Since 1983, 1176 people were killed in mass shootings.

Also, implying that the “mass shooting problem” requires “extensive work” is not good optics. All that America needs to do is suppress extremist right wing bullshit and mass shootings will cease to exist. Controlling the police on the other hand would require a lot more political power and a lot of reforms, but it would both reduce the amount of deaths AND curb down mass shootings at the same time because literally every single mass shooter only got to commit it because the cops didn’t care.

The police kills more people every year than the amount of people killed in mass shootings since 1983. They also repeatedly ignore reports of people who go on to commit school shootings.

You should look into common sense pig control. I think that would save more lives than just being hysterical about AR-15s.

I think it’s more of a space curation thing. As a tumblr user mentioned, “I pressed a button to get rid of an annoying guy and I would do it again”.

I think 50-60 GB is a fair enough size for a larger game.

I’m pretty sure that The Killers have two songs like that, with Mr. Brightside being followed by Miss Atomic Bomb.

Nope, that’s where the machine gun ball would be since this is a Sherman. It was probably stolen eventually. The tank probably got bogged down and abandoned where it stood.

Well basically Reddit kept doing two things. One, NOT doing anything about blatant botting, dogpiling, and brigading even on huge subreddits. Every thread about certain topics would get over a thousand comments all swinging one exact direction, it was extremely blatant. Any thread about Israel or pit bulls would get instantly brigaded and calling for the death of palestinians/pits in extremely violent ways and Reddit did nothing every time. And two, I kept getting banned for HINTING at fighting back against the current wave of fascism. Not to mention, the API support being killed AND the CEO of Reddit being an Elon Musk simp were also nails in the coffin of it for me.

Plus the environment of people posting constant ragebait was not doing favors to my mental health.

Sure, but to me it’s like someone wandering into a pride parade and getting offended at the fact there’s leather daddies there.

Again, I ask: Why are you surprised that literal anti-capitalists hate billionaires?

I mean, if you wanted to be in the literal anarchist social media network structure and not see people hating billionaires/politicians/nazis, why did you come here in the first place?

The entire concept of the Fediverse is anarchist. Of course anti-capitalists at large would be on it, because the capitalists are all over every other social media network. And besides, Tumblr constantly tells billionaires/politicians to die despite being corporate-run social media and literally nothing comes out of it.

He’s explicitly talking about detracting people who are “violent” and call him a “bootlicker” for “deescalating”. It seems like it’s moderator speak for “people are saying politicians/billionaires should die and that personally offends me”. It’s enlightened centrism. People came to Lemmy explicitily because Reddit bans you for disliking billionaires now.

Like, the entire concept of the Fediverse is anarchist. It’s a collection of decentralized servers who can connect to each other but have their own rules. Someone going to develop for the LITERAL ANARCHIST SOCIAL MEDIA STRUCTURE and then getting surprised that everyone on it is anti-capitalist and anti-billionaire is the epitome of arrogance and lack of self-awareness.
