This man’s brain is trembling in the balance between reason and insanity, and as he stalks on with clenched fist and sword in hand, as though he still saw those murderous Russians gunners.

The vehicle crumplezones provide zero protection while you are trying to change a tire though.

That's why I always walk around with at least three or four car crumple zones in my pockets. I know it's a tactilol thing to do, but I just feel safer with my EDCz (every day crumple zones).

"Canadian police investigate video of woman's racist rant in Alberta restaurant"

Woman goes on racist rant at some Afghan immigrants. Has since been fired. Has some classic "this is not who I am" and "I had had a off day". She was also "upset that the video had gone viral".

I just knew it’s the city I work in. This didn’t surprise me one bit. I had to unfriend my bother -in-law from Facebook when I got emails that he added me to a “Alberta should separate from Canada!” Group when the liberals won the election. I don’t use Facebook pretty much ever but I’d rather die then be on that group.

As I understand it, the PS4 has been a tough nut to crack for getting PSP games working on it in emulation. Recently, Sony released a PSP game on it that instead of remastering it for the PS4, was just an emulator running the game in the PSP environment. So now crackers have a full working PSP emulator that was written by the company that makes the console.

That woman was there for TWO HOURS trying to get police to come and stop black people having a chill time. After 20 minutes of being recorded, she's reduced to a blubbering mess. What a thin-skinned shitbag.

Apparently she spent two hours on the phone only pretending to be calling the police and then returned later after the police told her no one did anything wrong, if the article in the youtube description is to be believed: https://panthertimes.com/2018/05/02/white-privilege-used-to-fight-racially-charged-harassment-at-lake-merritt/

At one point the BBQ guy explains that her phone call actually did get a response. A fire truck rolled by, he waved at them, they waved at him, they left. This happened two or three times! The rasict phone lady just kept on tying up those emergency lines since apparently that wasn’t confirmation enough that the guy was not doing anything illegal.

It was one of those situations where technically they weren't supposed to use charcoal to grill there so they were doing something very slightly wrong. However that rule was pretty much never enforced because...who the gently caress cares? That's where the grills in the park are so people go grill there. The white lady was very clearly being a racist shithead.

That's the kind of "crime" where if a ranger happens to see you, they'll say hey next time FYI this isn't okay. And then they'll say enjoy yourself, make sure you dispose of everything properly, see ya.

I bet this lady was hoping for someone to get pinned, punched, or shot.

But it's the principle of the thing!!!

Years ago I used to be the kind of idiot who would get all upset at dumb stuff and use "It's the principle of the thing!!" as an excuse until I realised that 100% of the time anyone uses that to justify taking any action they're being an entitled douchebag and it's pretty much always covering up some other motive. I had to train myself to stop any time I caught myself thinking "It's the principle of the thing!" and think things through properly and it always turned out that I was getting mad over nothing.

I had some dumb anger issues when I was a kid. :smith:

Honestly I don’t even think that’s true. At the end of the video a cop asks Racist Lady what law was being broken and she quotes it. It says that you can’t operate a charcoal grill except in designated grilling areas. That park, as the lady taking the video pointed out approximately 50 times, is a designated grilling area.

I truly believe with all my heart that this woman pulled out her phone, googled “IF A BLACKMAN IS GRILING IN PUBLIC PARK WHAT LAW IS HE BREAKING” and ran with the first thing that came up.

My understanding was that some parts were charcoal ok and some weren't. They were in a charcoal not ok area but literally nobody actually enforced that rule because why would you?

If the whole area was charcoal ok and she was stretching for whatever bullshit she could that just makes the schad even more delicious.

Cops showed up and said "eh technically charcoal not cool but we're dismissing this complaint because nobody gives a gently caress, especially us since this is really an issue for the park rangers. To tell you they don't give a gently caress either."

That was before she came back and resumed screaming at them. Authoritarians love playing the persecuted martyr and claiming moral victory for petty nonsense.
