  • Me, as I pour some water on myself: Oh, look, it doesn’t damage me at all, in fact, it feels kinda nice! Let’s see how well you deal with water being poured on you!

    Computer: Your, password is fine, actually, nothing else needed!

    Me: No, no, you are gonna find out what happens when I pour water into you power supply.

    Computer: No need for that! You know, Linda really is a bitch! You have been dealing with a…

    Me Pouring water: Yes, she is, isn’t she?

    Computer makes some fizzle, and pop noises, then completely silent, monitor blank: …








  • I actually am very well acquainted with this. I did data analysis for the corrections system for almost a decade. Worked with universities, and other government offices, and bodies, on this subject, and it’s surrounding subjects. I honestly know more about this than almost anyone who’s profession never crossed into studying and analyzing this subject.

    This is not the place to be having an academic conversation on the material conditions that drive poverty, and centuries of intentional disenfranchisement, and how those result in criminal behavior, problems with education, recidivism, impulse control, calculated violence, and the endless other factors that play into this situation, many we are just starting realize even are factors. I haven’t worked in it in about 10 years, so I am currently out of date outside of jaunts to update specific things when stuff like this comes up.

    if you would like I can recommend some reading though.



  • Most of the indiscriminate terrorist style mass shootings are white christian males, age 18-35, the majority of the criminal activity related (eg drug sales) is from black men age 18-30. Most of the gun deaths are from suicide, which is largely white men, but still high for black men.

    Most preventable child deaths in the US are from guns, however the vast majority from accidental gun discharge, not violence.

    It is a link aggregating forum site, and has the problems that come with that. However I find it to be the least awful of social media.

    There is plenty of stupid shit posting here, and just taking the piss. However I do think that people here are more likely to take certain things more seriously than most places. However all places sort of have their topics they take way too seriously


  • I can no longer find it. However, around the time, it was a big deal that she was black, even though they are described as such in the book, and social media was going crazy about SJW shit, and after that interview released it was spread all over the place to demonstrate the point of her being the target the of racism, even when it may not have been intentional. I know about it because several youtubers at the time played it in their videos to make broader points.

    If i can find one of the videos that has the clip I will post that if i never find the interview again.
