I missed my chance to reblog this in 2019, so I googled the next day Halloween would be a Thursday and Godbless if I’m still active on Tumblr in 2024

One of my favorite tiktok niches that was created by people so bored they’re barely alive is that there’s a whole diet soda community where they believe everything you do greatly effects the way diet soda tastes and there are very specific methods of serving it to make sure you get the right flavor as if it’s an expensive steak or something. but the best part is they believe how long you leave it in the fridge is the most important part in all of it, which they call, “marinating”

Protection of property and prevention of theft have never been a priority for police. Even when they do show up hours after you've called to report a robbery, their response is generally, "well, what do you want me to do about it?"

People talk about defunding the police like society will suddenly devolve into lawless chaos, but what exactly do cops do besides hand out tickets and escalate situations they're meant to defuse?

Remember kids.

The police are only there to keep the working class in line!

[dingdongyouarewrong]

since polygraphs aren’t admissible in court because they’re nonsense junk science, a primary purpose they serve in interrogations is essentially using them as a prop to ramp up the pressure on a suspect. it’s all a big performance and no one should ever submit to one if they have the option not to

[memecucker]

Also since cops can lie to you during interrogations about anything that isn’t directly about the law (never agree to interrogation without a lawyer) a fun thing they often do is administer a polygraph and then proceed to inform the suspect that the test says they are being deceptive even when the machine says otherwise. So yeah their function is entirely as an intimidation tactic

[onsomekindofstartrek]

So you know NONE of this is common knowledge among Americans, right? We’re pretty much led to believe that they ARE reliable and ARE admissible in court.

And while some of us know they’re not reliable, most people think, this being the fucking US and all, that they are admissible regardless.

This is going to be news to a lot of people, and good news at that.

Very pleased with the effort by the South African team. I'm too scared to hope that anything effectual will come of this, but it's important that there was a cohesive, honest, and powerful argument and timeline with extensive documentation put forth to the world, even if the world rejects it. The last couple of months were a whole lot of passive voice and insultingly vague headlines that it's truly a comfort to see a straightforward accusation.

[naartjie-hijabi]

If we lose this case then it is proof that the world does not care about justice. It will be proof that the United Nations is useless and a failure. It will be proof that humanity has lost its sense of moral right and wrong. There nothing that can justify any action committed against the people of Palestinian over the past 96 day and nearly 76 years of occupation.

May Allah protect us all

[naartjie-hijabi]

Update: The South African lawyers have sent a notice to the US government stating that they aim to hold the US accountable for their aiding, abetting and supporting Israel in international crimes against Palestinians.

I'm so proud to be South African rn and I'm so proud of the team representing us.

A little advice from someone studying extremist groups: if you’re in a social media environment where the daily ubiquitous message is that you have no hope of any kind of future and you can’t possibly achieve anything without a violent overthrow of society, you’re being radicalized, and not in the good way.

[embervoices]

If the solution to your problems sounds like “we need a blank slate” it’s a lie. There are no blank slates, and the closest approximation people can generally imagine is “burn it all down and let God/fate/history sort it out”.

That’s not problem solving. It’s barely catharsis, in practice. It doesn’t just create more problems than it solves, it destroys more solutions than it creates.

Put the apocalypse down, and back away slowly.

Real solutions to complex, systemic problems are not so easily reduced to “us good, them evil; kill them.”

[astraltrickster]

I took exactly the same image, increased the saturation, and shifted it to a part of the spectrum most people can see better.

For all your no-YOU-have-the-weird-color-vision argument-solving needs.

Also, the car is orange.

[image description: a tweet by user @indigenousAI saying

“fun fact: as a DV survivor i cannot register to vote because doing so makes my address public. anyone who is fleeing or hiding from an abuser is automatically disenfranchised from the political process and this is a feature, not a bug”]

[taehyungsgrowl]

I don’t know of the original poster might not be aware

but!

if you’ve been a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking, you can enroll into the address confidentiality program (free of cost!) and be registered to vote as an absentee voter and your name and address will not be made available for the public

it is super easy to get enrolled - the application takes like 5 minutes, but it has to be with someone who is certified to do it (most likely an advocate! try going to a family justice center in your area or calling the Attorney Generals office in your area!!!!)

ALSO : 

you don’t need to have any police reports or have a protection order to qualify!!! you just have to sign stating that you’ve been a victim of one of the aforementioned crimes.

He used to be fine. He was better than fine. He was great. He was my dad. Then about four years ago, he… started acting strange. Erratic, forgetful, saying all this weird shit. My mom took him to a bunch of doctors, and they put him on medication. But that just made it worse. He got more confused. Then he got angry. And then he got… physical. That was it. That was the last straw. They put him away. And she divorced him… without him even realizing it. That’s why she wants a whole new life. And it’s easy to just stash me away in boarding school. Like half of us are just stashed away there. And I get it. She never has to look at me. Because maybe when she looks at me, she… she sees him. Maybe she’s right. I can’t keep it together. I lie. I steal. I piss people off. I don’t have any friends, real friends. I’ll probably get kicked out of Barton too. And when I do, it’ll be my own fault. Get sent to Fork Union and maybe to youknowwhere. And nobody will care. The funny thing is… I wanted to see him so bad this whole time. But I also didn’t, you know? Because I’m afraid that’s what’s going to happen to me one day.
