Cops, I've always assumed. "On the force" is a common euphemism for being employed by the police.

Yeah, every time another one of those pops up, I'm completely baffled at how somebody can miss the point so loving hard. They're called Rage Against The Machine and "subtle" is absolutely the last word I would use to describe their messaging. Bulls on Parade might as well be called ACAB (well, going by the lyrics, SCAB, but that kinda works too).

"I've had sex with countless women and not one of them had an orgasm"
- my favorite type of person on Twitter, constantly

There is a question asked of an advice column once that went along the lines of "I caught my partner masturbating after we had sex. I went to clean up when we finished and came out to find her playing with herself. Is her sex drive too high and should we break up".

It's the biggest :thunkher: ever and makes me laugh every time I remember it.

There was some post a while back about people who thought "gently caress you I don't do what you tell me" was about their mom and applied that logic to everything else about the band.

Yikes.

I saw an exhibit at a science museum once that showed a series of pictures and tracked your pupils to show what area of the photo you were looking at, to demonstrate things like how our eyes are drawn to faces. One of the photos was of a toddler on a swing, but the photo was taken at an angle so you could see up her skirt to her underwear, or maybe diaper, it was a very young kid. The rest of her clothes were pretty dark, so your eye naturally went to the bright white patch and made you look like a horrible pervert. I like to think someone put that photo in there just for that purpose.

I'm in a Facebook fan group for Social Distortion frontman Mike Ness, people get tattoos of his face and poo poo and post them there, in their most famous live show, Mike goes on a rant about Hitler shoving a cyanide capsule up his rear end and blowing his brains out, and encourages all white supremacists to "follow (their) leader".

A couple years ago he jumped into a crowd and punched out a MAGA CHUD who was heckling him about politics.

Several dozen old CHUDS in the group rage quit with posts about "WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BE POLITICAL JUST MAKE MUSIC RAGGGHHHH!"

What I'm saying is CHUDS aren't very introspective about what music they listen to, look at George W fuckin' Bush using CCRs "Fortunate Son" at campaign rallies, a song that literally descrubes how evil and lovely him and his dad are.

E: also I could see people interpreting RATM as fighting against the evil democrats trying to tax you, and framing their ideology that way.

I'm 41 and I've never had an interaction with police that was helpful to anyone but police. I know boomers like to yell "JUST YOU WAIT UNTIL YOUR HOUSE IS ROBBED BY THUGS AND YOU DIAL 911 HURRR"

But I actually have never heard of police interrupting a violent burglary in progress to save people. gently caress, if anything they'll arrive late and murder the homeowner in a case of :airquote: mistaken identity :airquote:

In conclusion, cops are entirely useless in my admittedly limited experience

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Justine_Damond#United_States

People have been bringing up Justine Diamond in relation to George Floyd protests. She called police because she thought she could hear someone being assaulted outside her house. The details are sketchy based on different articles I've read but when they arrived she went up to the patrol car or something, and either yelled or knocked on the window loudly enough to surprise them to the point that one officer drew his gun and fired past his partner, shooting her dead through the car window.

There are a bunch of different elements to her story which make it totally different to George Floyd: the cop is not white (Somali muslim to be specific), she is a white woman who called them for help, the officer in question admitted to fault pretty much immediately, and the police department paid out $US20 million in damages to the family. The same people comparing her case and Floyd's have been saying 'white people didn't riot over that' like they've said about all the other white deaths at the hands of police, as though it makes them more civil to say or do nothing. Some of them seem to really take pride in just not standing up against injustices.

Even the wikipedia page has references to a vigil held in her honour, and mentions that the ACLU argued that police body cameras should be in use. Blue Lives Matter groups counter argued that there was no reason for them to be used for those sorts of calls, basically saying 'No, we shouldn't bother to set a higher working standard in light of this unprecedented shooting death.' I'm willing to be at least partly because it was only unprecedented in terms of the elements I described. They don't need all of this 'evidence' floating around that might undermine them.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.


This kind of stuff shits me no end. Not Tom, but the "I used to be a fan until blah blah blah", and "You just lost a fan!" bullshit.

I guarantee the kind of person that says that kind of poo poo had never heard of band/celebrity/brand before, and most likely doesn't even know what 'Political BS' they are supposed to be outraged at. Just that somebody on their side of the them/us line of politics said that X celebrity said something naughty, so they are supposed to hate them now.

It also happens on the left, when you hear that someone you like has been milkshake ducked. But I have found that left leaning folks will go "Oh, we are supposed to hate X celebrity now? Why? What happened? What did they do?" Wheras the right leaning folks won't ask those questions, and will just go "I heard 3rd hand X is a liberal. SO I hate them and will never buy/watch their stuff ever again, even if I haven't heard of them before!"

Also, I don't know what they are trying top achieve by posting at celebrity X saying "I disagree with your politics!". What do they gain? Especially in this case. RATM are notorious for being angry, anti-establishment, anti-authority, and monstrously left wing since the very beginning. I mean, it was why a bunch of us became fans when we were angry 14 year olds. And don't try to get into a political discussion with someone with an MA in Political Science from Harvard, (as Tom Morello has.)
