It’s worth mourning that someone in the custody of the state isn’t being protected from attack. For every evil cop getting stabbed there’s a ton more people (some of whom are innocent) who are subject to the same negligence and cruelty in the system.

Yep. Did a bunch on it. Graduated in 2009ish in a small, rural town.

I understand what you’re saying, and agree it’s impossible to live on minimum wage in a big chunk of the country. However, tips are already pegged to inflation. If food gets twice as expensive, your 20% also doubles. For folks like Teachers, they might be lucky to get a 1 or 2% cost of living adjustment each year. That’s waaaaaaaaaay below inflation, and just falls further and further behind, like the base minimum wage.

I’m astounded he tried cpr. As a rule, most of them won’t do any CPR or first aid just in case “someone gets the jump on them.” Literally told in an active shooter training that responsibility for first aid or CPR is on me, just in case.

I mean, they do care. It’s a fundamental part of how fascism works, so they can’t leave hypocrisy out.

The only thing modern Russia has in common with the USSR is territorial ambition. They don’t have the life expectancy, the culture, the art, the principles, or improving quality of life. They don’t even have the opposition to fascism. It’s the result of capitalism’s victory over and looting of the Soviet Union. MAGAT’s will never have based flags.

I see where you’re coming from. But for Westworld the gratuity is sort of fundamental to the theme and plot of the show.

I have literally built a dungeons and dragons campaign to learn statistics, and had some students on their phones. I’m not a dancing bear, and having a dopamine panic-button makes it near impossible to engage with anything challenging (I struggle with it too and know it’s an anxiety crutch, but it’s super maladaptive).

This is the hidden most based take in the thread.

Came here to say exactly this.
