Kinthey dares to touch the live wire...hopefully this pops off for our entertainment.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/brazilian-comedian-sentenced-to-jail-for-racist-homophobic-jokes.1211220/page-4#post-141180951

So how often is this law actually used in Brazil?

Considering it also covers disabilities I was reminded of this recent story and wonder if Jasmine Crockett would have gotten in trouble for this

This is being temp locked while we look through it.

[Uncle]

Not exactly the same, specially since one was done in the capitol with the intention of hurting lawmakers.

how do you know her specific intentions? would you say she was breaking the law by her unauthorized presence in that building?

sort of like how protestors tend to break the law by trespass, obstruction of justice, resisting arrest, violation of curfew etc.?


does being in the capitol building in an unauthorized capacity mean you sacrifice your right not to be killed extrajudicially, is that what you mean? it's ok to kill people specifically in the capitol building, but not on the LA streets?

[Boredfrom]

[Boredfrom]

No, I don’t think people should be killed if there is any other alternative, but not gonna pretend is the exact situation and the same intentions. Specially since one the asshole that promoted that protest is now in the White House and promotes “Law & Order”.

[Uncle]

what I'm saying is

what's going to happen is a guy looting a 7-11 will stumble out into the daylight, a cop will say "drop the register," he'll reach for his gun and the cop will fire

and era will be all "justice for deshaun!!!!! wooo motherfuckers let's goooo I'm so glad he died because now that justifies us doing anything we want!!!!!"

and that will be as retarded as if right wingers did the same over capitol building lady

[Boredfrom]

So? What you expected to happen? 

Your country has not improved trust in the police force since a decade and Trump DoJ has been so blatant in their need to placate Trump. That’s why you don’t reward corrupt and self serving politicians with executive power… yet again.

No justifying violence and hope doesn’t escalate to outright mass riots that ERA wants, but this was predictable and entirely avoidable if Trump anti immigration policies weren’t so blatantly malicious while being half assed planned by bigots.

[Boredfrom]

and era will be all "justice for deshaun!!!!! wooo motherfuckers let's goooo I'm so glad he died because now that justifies us doing anything we want!!!!!"

and that will be as retarded as if right wingers did the same over capitol building lady

One is because politician instigates a mass protest to intimidate lawmakers because he is pissed off that he lost the election.

The other is people not only afraid of mass deportations but that they are implemented maliciously and by bigots. I don’t even disagree that the law is the law… but look who is the fucker doing this. 

PD: Deshaun…  Dude, real talk, get the fuck out of 4chan and Kiwi Farms.  A time and place for this kind of jokes IMO.

With this dumb fuck of a country set up to make car driving essential, and against the law to do so without insurance, what do they expect people to do? Go for years without insurance and pray family can chauffeur you around until Companies arbitrarily decide to cover you again?

Just don't use characters you unlocked?

And it's not even gacha, certain cup completions unlock certain characters...that's just called playing the game.

The Kamek characters are all NPCs that you can additionally unlock and none of them have been selectable in previous games, so if Chargin' Chuck is his main then he's talking bullshit as he's never driven as that character before so if anything, it's a preference and no-one is forcing him to do anything. Jesus they sap the fun out of everything.

Heh think that is bad, remember all the BS i had to do in Mario Kart Wii to unlock every kart and characters. Those Time Trials can suck it ad so is those damn 1 star requirements when a single blue shell can derail your chance. I don't even think you need to be in first place to unlock a character in Mario Kart World if i am right.

Yep, it's just 'Complete X':

You're hiding the juice on this one, Taco!

From the OP:

After 25 years of driving, I'm now a "high risk" driver and AAA won't renew my policy.

I have 3 at fault claims (with payout on damages) in a year, almost two years. Two were my own fault, one was a lying ass, but there's nothing more to do about it.
[...]
Any named insurance company won't take me and every unknown company through a broker won't take me. [...] But the only policy a broker came back with was a base ~$400 a month and 16 cents a mile driven. I do way too much driving to afford that.

A couple posters point out that, hey, it sounds like you drive like an insaniac. But most posters are like damn those evil insurance companies, keeping honest Twisted Metal competitors like yourself off of the road!

I did BUT

So you've been in 4 accidents in a year and change, 3 of which were your fault?

What's the point of this post? You gonna go back in time and prevent him from having the accidents?

I don't think so but maybe AliceAmber who is a sex worker got offended by this post

I feel like paying a woman to pretend to be attracted to me would make me more depressed than the usual not paying to not be attractive does

WTF? I'm in a Metallica concert and needed water after Pantera's set and they charged me nine fucking dollars?

Concerts have become a luxury with high price tickets and venues charging you up your ass.

Welcome to Earth: concerts for the most famous bands on the planet are a luxury, yes.

The first reply is fun too.

was charged 6€ once for coke with ice...

[hide]At a sex worker house.[/hide]

Today I paid 2€ for a 50 cl room temperature water just so I could use the bathroom...

At a "sex worker house"? What's that? I mean I know what it is, but I just laugh at how the practice must be uncritically endorsed, but you can't even name it.

[HaughtyFrank]

The final word on lap dances.

Fuck you, I'll keep pirating lap dances

[BIONIC]

Be cool if any threads that turn into comments about sex work or really sexism in general could deal harsher temp bans. The recent Sydney Sweeney thread devolved into sexist comments, *Lapdsnces are expensive* thread has some comments that are pretty pathetic. Can we move past people making fun of others receiving or giving things like lapdances and invalidating sex workers, pretty bloody tiring.

[DavidCroquet]

Sex workers invalidated? Will the horrors ever cease???

A job in sex work is like the highest, most illustrious form of labor a woman can achieve to these people.  It must be protected at all costs.

People aren't gonna wake up. It's become a bipartisan message to view illegal immigrants as inherently criminal. No Democrat. Not a single one, not even those on the left, has articulated why the process of immigration has culminated in millions of undocumented immigrants, and why immigration is inherently natural, and why undocumentation does not imply criminality. Instead, they scurry back with their tails between their legs, reinforcing the idea that 'illegal' immigration must be stifled, and thus the American people assume that this is an actual problem that needs to be stopped, while not changing a goddamn thing with immigration policy. It's a failure on the American people, and it's especially a failure for liberals (and leftists) for failing to produce any counter-message or implementing any meaningful policy that makes immigration not a complete logistical and legal shitshow. Now we're going to have to live with our failures and it's not going to get any better unless we actually elect leaders with the fucking spine to do something about this.

The problem is that everyone thinks lawbreakers are unlawful. 

More "do something" talk...I think the onus is on people who think illegal immigration isn't a problem to explain why. I'm not even saying we should deport a million people, but even something as mundane as a fender-bender with an illegal immigrant will immediately reveal some of the downsides of illegal immigration.

Like if I got a main, I'nt really wanna play anyone else, but I gotta play as someone I'll never wanna touch again to get who I want?
That's not fun at all.

Grinding to get who ya want is so annoying.
In Mario Kart World, it's locked behind gacha too, it's rough.

Just don't use characters you unlocked?

What the fuck? Just shoot people on the spot who speak/type like this. No trial. No jury. No rights. Straight up execution.
