Christ. No. I'm done trying to extract a god damn answer out of you.

The T-Rex/Giganotosaurus fight from the Jurassic World Dominion prologue bears enough resemblance to the one in Dino Crisis 2 that I would believe it if someone said it was a reference.

@Cyborg_pony
Problem? How so?
I mean the context and such.

@Amagan
Because the only job of the public security bureau would be to protect the public from criminals, not to harass people committing victimless "crimes" or to fill for-profit prisons with slave labor. Anyone who doesn't risk their life to defend the public would be arrested for dereliction of duty.

@UrbanMysticDee
What exactly would keep this "public security bureau" from doing the exact same thing that make the police look bad? How would it even be implemented? Would they actually enforce the laws or would they say "fuck the laws" and simply do whatever they wanted based on the notion of social justice? would they end up being just as racist, or would they operate on the notion that minorities should be excused from the consequences of their actions because of "systemic racism keeping them down"?

@AlsoSprachOdin

Let's try again. Given that we're talking about how police forces SHOULD work, should cops have a duty to protect or not? And why?

First, are we talking a general duty to protect the public at large, or a more specific duty to provide protection to any specific private citizen who requests such? Details like that need to be hammered out first in order to give an accurate answer.

@Humble Oriathan
I honestly think the whole thing was deliberately orchestrated in order to generate public support for new gun control laws that would otherwise be opposed by intense public pressure. The fact the shooting was carried out just days before a planned NRA convention is highly suspicious. The fact the school is going to be demolished is even more suspicious. It's Sandy Hook all over again.

@Amagan
There's about 400 violent crimes per year per 100,000 people in the US. Even if each was committed by a different person that's only 1.3 million criminals. That's rough parity between the number of cops and the number of criminals.

These people are the scum of the earth. They're the biggest criminal gang on the planet given a license to kill to keep homeless people from sleeping on park benches and work a day people from smoking a joint. We need to abolish the police and replace them with a public security bureau.

@Dertsa
February is the shortest month because of racism. They didn't want the brothers having a full length month.

@AlsoSprachOdin
My opinion on the Ulvalde school shooting changed btw. With all the new evidence of the incident that's been coming out after it was willfully kept from the public for weeks, something about the whole thing doesn't seem right now. What stuck out most was the fact that they got into the school, but waited a whole hour before doing anything. One of the cops idling had a daughter who was in the school on that day, and he just stands by so calmly. Any other man holding an assault rifle would've took an immediate initiative to save their kid.

I posted something in Derpi's politics thread, now I'll just wait and see if I get banned or not.
Also I see other people can post memes there.

@Seiken
That's really the biggest problem I saw, There interesting moments like with Hordak if it was if Hordak didn't become a bitch, allowed Catra to boss him around, get brain-raped only to just remember and be "Redeemed" mostly for that shipping itself.

I imagine the ideas came from Chuck Austin — while the execution was handled by the rest and that's what shows. They cared more for this "LOLZ SO RANDOM" and shippings. There were no stakes to anything since they didn't act like it was unless the plot deemed it to very bland payout.

Like what if Madam Raz was stuck between timelines due to a spell backfiring to see the future? NOPE! She's just a nutty bitch! LOL!

What if Sea Hawk knew they were resistance members and allowed them to win arm-wrestling to get the war started? NOPE! He's just a sissy and everyone has more nodical knowledge then him. LOL!

What if Kyle was an agent for the resistance and gave him information? NOPE! He's just a useless bitch that everyone picks on! LOL!

What if Scorpia wanted to secretly get rid of Catra and did so by getting real close and even trying to crush her? NOPE! She just wanted to molest her. LOL!

What if the Horde was a threat?

@Dex Stewart
Was better then most of that Nick Jr. stuff.


@Color Anon
That's still kind of the problem. You can't dislike it to them. If there wasn't such push-back to criticism of it… Well, it would probably not really be talked about.

I always tell people to go look at the initial Bible of the show. All the stove they tout the show for, where nowhere in it. Showing it was a massive Bait n' Switch to make it shera in name only.

@Amagan
>But then who would ever sign up to be a cop?
People who intend to actually protect and serve.
>Because it's quite literally not in their job description
Remeber how I asked previously, not that long ago, if you were debating what cops are or what they should be? Because of course I agree that they don't have any legal duty to protect and serve, that's the statement I made that started this entire argument. How can you keep arguing past me?
Let's try again. Given that we're talking about how police forces SHOULD work, should cops have a duty to protect or not? And why?
>Security begins at home and with the individual. But government etc
Yes. Yes. Yes. Obviously. Shit is fucked. It shouldn't be that way. I don't know how you got the impression I disagreed on this.

@Cyborg_pony

I personally found the show to be ok, it had a lot of cringe it, but some good characters too. The Catra x Adora shipping was so on the nose and both of them were quite annoying to watch. Most enjoyment i pulled out of Entrapta and Hordak.

Story overall had some interesting points, i mostly like the twist that Hordak himself is just a tiny cog in a galactic war.

Like with almost any other show i don't interact with the fandom, Horse is already 24/7 job. So i don't know much about drama that goes anywhere else and i am quite happy with that.

I don't think i would watch it again, but it was worth one.

@Anonymous #3F61
They don't want to neuter the SCOTUS, they want to pack it with ultra-liberal judges to drown out the conservative votes, essentially once again changing the rules to suit them because they don't like having to play by the rules along with everyone else.

@AlsoSprachOdin

Having those cops held responsible to a duty to protect would have helped.

But then who would ever sign up to be a cop?

And now that I have answered your question, stop evading mine.
Why shouldn't cops — to the best of their ability — act as general security in society?

Because it's quite literally not in their job description? They exist to enforce the laws, not to protect the public. They serve a government interest, not a private interest.

If they shouldn't, where should security come from? Keep in mind the cops were keeping people from protecting their own children at Uvalde.

Security begins at home and with the individual. But government has seen fit to prevent that from being the norm because the criminals need greater legal protections.

@Anonymous #3F61
They celebrated it when it worked for them. They are only pissed now that it does not. Ginsburg as an activist before anything else as was made to suffer for them.

@Cyborg_pony
I liked when Loo-Kee would reveal where he was hiding.

Derpi probably wouldn't let me post this.

If the overturning of roe v wade creates a push by the left to neuter the supreme court, by god let them do it. The supreme court has been their best weapon for almost 50 years and watching them break their favourite toy in a fit of short sighted rage will be poetry.

Trump should have neutered the court when he had the chance.

Suddenly his interest in taking part in the Gun Discussion thread seems a little troubling.
