(snatch is a euphemism for vagina)

IME this is largely the stance that the LA Metro buses* take, as long as you're not causing trouble. A lot of the time I get waved on for the card not reading quick enough (resulting in a free ride), and I've literally never seen a driver tell someone to leave because their card won't scan or they don't have the money for it.

Which, when you think about it makes sense. The $1.75 or so they're 'losing' from the passenger not paying (the bus will be going that route anyway, regardless of whether they board or not) will be FAR exceeded by the cost of paying a bus driver to sit there with a bus out of commission for however long it takes cops to get there and force someone out, PLUS a literal bus full of now pissed off people who may be missing connections because some bus driver had a stick up his ass. It absolutely doesn't make sense unless the fare-evader in question is either a chronic problem causer or an immediate threat.

* trains/subways are a different matter, they have cops checking randomly onboard there to fine people

Maybe some crimes should be punishable by public flogging.

Another great one is seitan aka wheat meat, and it’s really cheap if you make it from flour rather than vital wheat gluten. Still pretty cheap if made from vital wheat gluten too.

Do you actually think the watermelon racist trope is because black people just happened to like watermelon a lot? Because if you do you need to go read up on it, and if you don’t then you need to stop trivializing the history of racist oppression by equating it with a joke about a snack purchase.

Totally depends on your local laws. Where I live (southern California) any fruit hanging over the sidewalk is free for the public to take, regardless of whether the tree itself is on public property. But if you cross the property line to reach it, it becomes theft.

I’ve been hearing that exact argument since Columbine.

The people who were shitting blood over how anyone who wants Biden to step down is a Russian agent will unfortunately learn absolutely nothing from these events.

Out of all the types of American political voters that exist (as defined and studied by Pew), the progressive left has the highest voting rate of any group. Including 'Faith and Flag Conservatives.'

If you're super worried about criticism from someone further left than you killing support for your candidate, it's not because leftists don't show up to vote.

'Transgendered' is best left in the 2000s btw.

Inspired by watching my cat lay on her 6' (2 m) tall cat tower and sleep like a baby. Zero regrets, even if it makes us look like insane cat people for having a giant cat tower right in our living room. She lives here, she gets furniture too!

Alt text: a one panel comic drawn in the style of The Onion’s Stan Kelley that says “shelter from the storm”; three rain clouds that say “resurgent fascism”, “irreversible climate change”, and “impending economic collapse” are raining on a furry character, who is cheerfully whistling because they have an umbrella labeled “weed and furry porn” that is keeping them dry. Similar to The Onion comics, a smaller character representing the artist is in the corner, saying “weather proof.” The artist is CritterDome
