Oh, cool. That just wasn't as clear as intended, I guess. No idea how you make it better without a clunky disclaimer though.

If I hadn't immediately seen the "relevance?" Comment, I probably would have assumed you were doing just that. "lol the article says things in a dumb way get a load of this quote"

I would be going to prison or dead shortly after discovering that cops killed my dogs.

I care more about my dogs than I do about the vast majority of humans. And I care about humans way more than cops.

Having read the linked article, I think DarkCloud is meaning that the fact it was a student copying a prompt for his essay instead if writing the essay himself isn't relevant, and asked why YOU thought it might be relevant.

I don't see how it's relevant beyond pointing out the outlet made an interesting editorial choice instead of saying "in response to a student trying to cheat in school"

Reminder that George Tekei is still alive and he was put in an Internment camp.

A dramatization, by someone slightly baked:

"This is my neighbor. I keep him from getting too uppity by basically making it impossible to live here, since because of Me everything is insanely expensive or they literally can't buy it.

As anyone who works for me can tell you, it's not MY fault I'm doing this. It's because I don't like the colors of their shirt. Blame the shirt. And everyone take a look at how dumb wearing this shirt makes you look! See what happens when you wear it? You end up like him EVERY TIME! For more proof just look at all these other people who's shirts I didn't like and also attempted to kill (allegedly wink wink) and see how poorly they're doing. I'm such a good neighbor. Just ask my richer neighbor. And ignore anyone inside frantically shaking their head no. Number 1!"

For those who want to either go insane, or have limitless limited gloating capability!

Limitless, because to those who know how difficult it is, they will never doubt your skill and dedication.

Limited because to those who don't know, they don't care.

And I will have absolutely none of that madness in my life, I've gotten enough suffering for many lifetimes... I don't need to self inflict more!

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date with Novice and only fun skulls....

More commonly referred to as LASO (Legendary All Skulls On)

I've actually been stopped by uniformed officers minutes after spotting the absolute most obvious undercover cop in the world in Ohio.

My crime? I said "Good Morning OFFICER!" really loud as I passed him at the park. There were a lot of people walking around for an art festival and supposedly the local PD got a "tip" it was being used to hide "illegal liberal activities"

Dude was wearing preshly pressed clothing that looks like he literally bought it from Abercrombie that morning. Basically the whole outfit says "I am trying to fit in, this is what we see you people as, look at how hip and cool I am fellow kids" and the haircut was so out of place I literally did a double take.

COPS don't know how to not be cops, even when they're trying their hardest to pretend so they can catch people doing mysterious and vague criminal things.

The more you know about the process of oil/coal and how it's extracted and used, the more you would be convinced Satan or some sort of evil chaos demon like Nurgle is responsible for it.

It starts with death, and goes right on to burning in LITERAL fire to produce toxic gasses. Basically the traditional Christian Hell.

If the options are "I die, my pets die, my entire family dies, a slow painful climate and pollution-driven death"

Vs

"these 20 companies get permanently shut down, their resources reallocated, their infrastructure dismantled and repurposed, their employees find new jobs potentially repurposong said industry, and executives get locked in solitary for the rest of their lives"

I know which I'd pick.

And if it's legal to use lethal force when defending one's life and one's family, then it's legal to use lethal force to defend one's life and family

Companies can die without a single real human being hurt.

Tldr people try to game image recognition, word filters, etc to increase visibility of their post on social media. It works.

People are slaves to the algorithm, even if they claim to not care. If you alter your post to increase visibility, you are playing by it's rules.

By censoring even potentially blockable words, not only are they improving the odds it will go to a wider audience, they get people to comment "why is that word censored/why is there a random dot/erase spot?" which drives up engagement stats, thus sending it to even more people.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot who should have a dunce cap taped to their head.
