Education isn’t intelligence. Academic achievement is done through effort in studying.

Grubhub’s website seems intentionally unusable. Slow, constant errors, randomly logs me out, etc.

You’re pointing to countries that still have police as evidence that we don’t need police?

Man, ACAB arguments have flatlined.

Cops are a few hundert years old concept why would they be necessary now when most places they barely existed pre ww1.

LOL, wtf are you smoking, dude? This is why conversations about this topic on Lemmy are so consistently bad; ACAB folks just make shit up. Societies have had police in some form or another since practically the beginning of civilization. And to the extent that they didn’t, crime was up and vigilante justice was the only recourse.

You’re a damn fool, and I don’t take you seriously.

All of those instances are examples of either cops not doing their jobs or the law being imperfect. Problems like that will always exist but that just means we need to focus on fixing them, by changing laws and instituting better systems for policing the police. Getting rid of police as an institution is pointless and fixes nothing.

I agree we need reforms in both law and police departments, as well as a better institution than “Internal Affairs” to keep cops in line. More essentially, we need to change the cultural problem at the heart of police corruption. Regular psychological evaluations, deescalation training, and an active stance against authoritarian personalities in police need to be adopted.

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

I’m sure you’ve got some version of Social Workers with Enforcement Powers^TM in mind, but all that really amounts to is Reformed Cops^TM. So, just admit ACAB is your anger-fueled generalization/oversimplified solution to a complex problem and say you want police reform, like the rest of us sane people.

In America, by far and away the next most commonly spoken language is Spanish. I could see a requirement making it so schools are made to teach Spanish, but I find it hard to see requiring them to teach any other language. Arguably, this might be better managed on the State level, since certain languages may be more common in different states.

That’s democracy, not anarchy.

Except it’s not.

You’ve spotted some surface similarities, but they’re most likely coincidental or unconscious influences at best. To my knowledge the creators never said Daredevil was a major influence.

Also a German Luger:

The only thing I can think of is that they’re mistaking the term Latin America for Central America. But they’d be wrong even then, so idk.

gop controlled areas use voter machines that are often rigged

I’ve got a bridge I could sell you that would look marvelous next to that tin foil cap you’re wearing.

Dungeon Meshi doesn’t follow a lot of the anime tropes that people who aren’t into anime often dislike; so, I would say it’s at least worth a shot.

It’s not AI, these guys have plenty of other videos, including ones that document their video setup.

He’s not trusted by most Americans.

Because he’s a useful tool of God!!!

I’ve heard of the polar bear club and I totally get it (although they’re a little too extreme for me). The cold shock of relatively cool water when you’ve just come out of hot water is an exhilarating shock, almost like an adrenaline kick.

Absolutely not. I take cold showers in the summer all the time. I mean, they’re not super-cold, if that’s what you mean, but they’re relatively cool and designed to cool me off rather than warm me up (like the hot showers I take in the Winter months).

Does the first bite of a meal make the rest of the bites taste blander? Whatever your answer is, the same is true for this question you’ve posed.

Whichever high-ranking person in the Venezuelan government agrees to give Trump and his oil barons everything they want.
