May not be a smooth criminal, but I’m always thrilled to see 'em.

A few years back, I may or may not have overtaken a ~202X Mustang who decided to cut off and brake check me, in a 2014 Prius C, and maintained that lead for 10 miles, till I lost sight of him and was at my exit, after switching to Highway Star.

Amusingly, this is a very laid back, slow tempo song, lol.

I guess its just the name the human form of Nurgle goes by, idfk.

I think the problem relates to the lack of ability to control a certain kind of flex… yay alcoholism!

Oh hey neat we found the real voting fraud.

It’s happening.

Fetch is finally happening.

… In basically the worst and stupidest way possible.

Frog and Toad get Alpine Divorced

I kind of want to do this as a joke.

Eye of bear, cock of raccoon, boiled in HGH, testosterone, and glyphosate.

The last time we tried to get conservatives to enact/follow basic public health measures, they:

Essentially declared jihad against the concept of public health, as well as actual embodiments of it

Invented a slew of new conspiracy theories, quack fake cures, and modern day babbling psychopath ‘prophets’

Attempted a violent insurrection of the US Federal Government

… yeah I’m sorry but at this point my suggestion would be to just get yourself vaccinated and then fucking leave the suicidal theocracy quarantine zones, before more sane parts of the country start imposing quarantine restrictions on them.

I’m sure this won’t be a problem in a state full of people who do ritual baptismal christenings.

Welp, that was fast.

… Won’t you flyyyyyy hiiiiighhh freeee biiiird yeah!

The 40s apparently had dad jokes grandfathered into their dad jokes.

… This is so stupid it hurts my brain.

I actually tried to find laws relating to… stowing? carrying? transporting? a gun, in a holster, on a harness, on a dog.

I could not find any.

I very much hope this is completely legally dubious, but given the patchwork insanity of US gun laws… there might concievably be some kind of very specific situation where this would ‘work’ in some kind of legal sense…

Their hips don’t lie.

It’s all in the way you move.

… in this case, Roos are differently anatomically configured:

Yeah, the entirety of their hindquarters is essentially the ass / thigh muscles of a human, it is just oriented in a way that its not as visible/obvious to a human, looking to find human anatomy.

When you kick or hop, that doesn’t use many muscles in your lower leg/ankle, at least in terms of where the raw force comes from, it comes from your upper legs, ass, thighs, core.

Maybe think of Chun Li, lol.

Kangaroos are well configured to be stable on their … feet? … with a different skeletal set up, so they really only need some tendons and less massive muscles in the lower legs.

They also have muscular and massive enough tails that they could concievably basically thwack you in the head and probably knock you out or topple you over, though I don’t have any idea if they actually do that or not.

Yeah, its all an incenstuous club of a class of C Suite people that know all the people on the boards of the regulatory committees, the astroturfed ‘consumer rights’ groups, the industry advocate groups, etc.

They like to play musical chairs, hop around from seat to seat on different boards.

But uh yeah, corruption is the name of the game with regulatory capture, so, any kind of proposal to have an actually transparent, legit, accountable bidding process will of course be decried by basically everyone connected to it.

Remember when software companies used to like, train people, bring them up to speed, kinda like an apprenticeship, develop them as an asset, and then have a stable team?

Yeah, that… worked better.

But then managent essentially was insulted by the existence of people who knew more about how their own companies actually worked than they did, so they turned them all into contractors, and chaos has reigned ever since!

Jordan had applied for a job as a police officer in the city of New London, Connecticut. However, he was denied an interview because he scored too high on a written examination.

…

The city had introduced this policy because they felt that those that scored high on this examination were more likely to leave a police officer position sooner. To reduce costs associated with job turnover, training, and hiring, the city created this upper cut-off score. Jordan had scored a 33, which meant he was overqualified for the position.[2] As a result, Jordan argued that this policy was a form of discrimination based on his intellect.

…

The court found that even though there was no strong statistical correlation between high test scores and job dissatisfaction, it was sufficient that the city believed that there was such a correlation based on the material provided by the test maker.

…

The court found that the policy had a rational basis that served the legitimate government purpose of reducing job turnover and associated hiring and training costs.

So quite literally:

Cops don’t hire smart people because they think smart people probably wouldn’t like the job.

AND

Cops are allowed to have internal policies that are found by the court to not actually be rational or backed by any actual empirical data, they simply have to claim that they thought they were rational, and this essentially makes them legally ‘rational’.

This is essentially a legal carve out for corruption and abuse of power, that is routinely exploited by police departments, to hire outside contractors and consultants to come up with dubious and nonsensical policies and training and such for them… there functionally is no mechanism for scrutinizing this, unless they’re just literally doing financial fraud or money laundering.

Like half the country still uses polygraphs, even though there is an entire body of scientific knowledge that shows them to be approximately as legitimate and effectacious as chiropracty.

See also all the spying devices and malware they use, that they certainly do not technically understand, and routinely employ and very often either don’t even bother to legally justify, and very often make dubious legal arguments as to their validity.

Cops extremely literally exist in an extremely entitled and defferential legal status than every one else, our legal system is built upon deepthroating the boot.
