Already lining up Putin’s pockets to refuel the war in Ukraine.

in your fantasy world where cops don’t exist, who intervenes when someone inevitably commits a crime?

Who intervenes when cops are around, though? I’ve been laughed at in my face and told they couldn’t do anything despite us having proof in the form of a brick through our window. Not even the restraining order was honored.

Or how about the time I got beat up and all they did was allegedly take some notes and tell me they couldn’t do anything because it was private property despite my fresh bruises?

Or them cat-calling a 15 year-old that they’re supposed to be protecting?

Kind of useless if you ask me, and I haven’t even gotten to the malicious stuff like locking up my brother in law for a year and pressuring for ransom and sacking his family’s home.

It’s kind of insane how much we believe in their image rather than rely on their actions to even dare be so condescending.

I hope it all gets undone with righteous rage when this shit is all over.

Japan was doing that a couple of years ago.

Oh god no. There are many objectively predatory beliefs and dangerous ideas out there. This is irresponsible.

And a ladder!

Whoa, you got 'em on the ropes, champ!

You can mildly cuss on the internet 😌 /s

Oh, no worries, I was more incredulous than upset. We had talked about religion at length over the years and even managed to nudge her away from organized religion at this point (thank god). I thought she understood where I was coming from, and then out of the blue, she tells me this on the rare occasion we argued, and I’m speechless.

The same ones refusing to help out parents succeed, or even allow already-born children to feed/clothe/educate/immunize. I wouldn’t put it past them to want to see babies dying so they can gloat about only the strongest needing to survive or some inhumane shit like that. It’s always the same assholes.

I have, and I still feel like shit, Brenda.

Oh yeah, definitely, although I’m more concerned about committing them to memory, since the simplified characters lose some meaning and you’re expected to make up for it. I guess I’ve forgotten the meaning of simple kanji like 免 one too many times. Thanks for the link, though! I’ll check it out.

Puteaux

What an unfortunate name for a suburb. Spanish speakers will understand.

I have a feeling I’ll have to learn traditional and simplified at the same time and that feels a bit daunting. 😅

I’m so tired, boss, give me the blue treatment. 😌

I’m so tempted to, tbh. I wonder how hard it’d be to go from joyou Kanji to hanzi.
