I see you're UK. I was in London last year and loved the Tube - I'm currently all over the İstanbul metro with my Underground pin on my bag!

Funny, I'm looking at that streetcar basically right now!

The funicular in the Taksim tunnel is cooler imo

Not at all likely, and until then, is still 100% factually accurate.

That still leaves "rapist" as indisputably factually accurate.

I mean he has been proven in a court of law to be at least 2 of those, so... you know...

What's wild to me is that legal segregation was like, not that long ago at all. It always feels like it's taught as ancient history but it was only half a lifetime ago, really... and still ongoing. It's not like this happened a thousand years ago and "you should really be over it by now", this was the experience of some people's still living grandparents and parents.

The idea that an entire demographic of people should magically recover and be equals again after like 30 years of half-assed "equality" after literal generations of slavery is fucking wild.

Absolute goblin energy to not recognize the ongoing effects of such a recent thing.

I know they're paid for by Walmart/whoever, but they should get actual private security that doesn't cost the taxpayer 300 grand to train and prepare for service. The police force can stop complaining about being understaffed too when they're playing rentacop.

Congrats officer you caught a guy stealing 2 loaves of bread and a $10 rotisserie chicken. Mind going to arrest the guy who committed an assault 2 blocks away just now?

Yep - not u common in my shitass city these days for a couple cops to be posted at the doors of safeway, walmart, etc. full time. Me getting mugged by 5 tweakers in broad daylight? 8 hour response time. Homeless dude stealing bread to survive? Immediately arrested.

Meanwhile the police force complains that they need more money because they don't have enough resources to do their jobs... full 1/3rd of our civic budget already. Totally fucking useless, unless you're a big brand.

It doesn't even make me mad, I'm just scared and confused

They took a 2.something % adjustable rate mortgage and then cried "unpredictable" when they raised rates, as though no one could have guessed that 2.something % was an anomaly

From the linked article:

...Herren celebrated the business achieving its highest operating margin in history – a non-GAAP 32.5 percent.

Yeah seems like the perfect time to fire 6000 people
