It's funny how he's like, recording in the middle of fuckoff Romania in an apartment where the mold is structural at this point. He points the camera he earned with money made from a 25 year old game playthrough dubbed with jokes about getting high and screaming, and proceeds to let off personally reasonable takes about games as live services laking any accountability for the roadmaps they plan.

Then he goes back to playing some game made in 87.
For a while I was legitimately suspicious about Game Dungeon being a showcase of shitty games that he made under a bizarre assortment of fake companies who conned real publishers because I have literally never heard of a single of them before. Like he's the Harlan Ellison to Neil Cicierga's Stephen King. But I guess that's just what it means to be Romanian.

@Null Go walk down the street and do a crossover stream with Ross Scott and talk rant game devs together.

I liked Jim Goad's book on the topic cause he reminds us that as bad as slavery was, much of America was not much better.
And the sharecropping system that followed slavery was not only not much better (and sometimes even worse) than slavery itself, but put poor blacks directly in conflict with poor whites, who were then competing for the very same very shitty situations.

There's still a fundamental difference between a world where you have a choice of a bunch of shitty occupations, and where you're literally someone else's property. I'd rather be in a world of shit where all my options were garbage, sort of like reality as it currently exists, than literally be property.
 
The reason the policy is being pointed out is to remove the only real defense Chauvin has for a manslaughter charge: he was acting reasonably according to policy. This is the prosecution blowing a massive hole in that aspect of his defense and using it to shore up the idea of culpable negligence.
That isn't the standard for manslaughter.
Imagine thinking that "reasonably according to policy" is codified in the criminal code.
 
Yes. That's why these violent psychos in our police departments need to be defunded and replaced by social workers.
I do think militarization of law enforcement is a topic worthy of analysis and debate but people who unironically believe we should send some 5'6" white woman with a clipboard and a degree in sociology to deal with shit like this are living in a false version of reality.

Funnily enough there's tons of southern propaganda about just that. Soon as the South got bent, Slave owners now realized they could make black people pay them for the privilege of slaving.

Let those women get forcibly blacked.

Could not have put it better myself. These people basically want to send CPS after career criminals which is asking for a disaster from both ends.
 
Words only get so far with people, some people will just not willingly comply.
If the mere fact of something being against the law were enough to stop a man like George Floyd, he wouldn't have had a belly full of fentanyl, wouldn't have passed counterfeit money, wouldn't have held a gun to a woman's belly in a home invasion robbery, the only reason a George Floyd isn't holding a gun to the head of anyone here and stealing everything we own is there are people who will shoot him.

Or who would have before we decided cops aren't allowed to stop violent criminals.
Let those women get forcibly blacked.
Implying it would have to be forcibly.
