These are the solutions we need to policing right now.
Remember: the problem cannot be solved by technocratic solutions (i.e. body cams, further trainings, etc.)
The problem is policing itself.
I had to answer a security question over the phone today and it was honestly surreal the guy asked me “okay, what’s your dream car” and for a solid ten seconds I’m thinking ‘what the fuck I can’t even drive?’ and then it hits me. I made this account in 2014. I know what I have to say. I swallow my pride and whisper into the phone:
“1967 Chevy Impala.”
There’s silence. Then, he gives me my password. Fuck you, 2014 me. Fuck. You.
I just felt the shadow of something ancient and awful brush past, like a great leviathan peeking from the waves on a moonless night far from shore.
This is by far the most haunting addition to any one of my text posts. I won’t sleep tonight.
I’ve been on the other end of the phone for this kind if thing, and all I can say is at least you didn’t have to ask someone what they wanted to be when they grew up only to find the answer they put was “fire truck”
You missed the best part. They weren’t even their sheep. This good pupper gathered up a bunch of random sheep it found somewhere on the countryside and brought them home for its human.
man the crazy thing about babies is that like, some people would think that reading a baby a book about farm animals is teaching them about farm animals, but really it’s teaching them about the concept of a book and how there’s new information on each page of a single object, but really, beyond that,it’s teaching them how language works, and beyond that it’s really actually teaching them about human interaction, and really really it’s them learning about existing in a three-dimensional space and how they can navigate that space, but actually, above all it is teaching them that mama loves them.
Someone’s impersonating the CEO and trying to get me to send him a thousand dollars’ worth of gift cards and I gotta say this is the most exciting thing to happen to me in months
He stopped responding after I requested that he fill out a funding request form with the proper client ID codes attached. Idk what he expected trying to scam a corporate office swimming in red tape
“Julia…I’m the penniless CEO…you have to pay me..you have to pay me in gift cards”
“I’m…not doing that”
“AND JUST LET HIM FUCKING DIE?”
This is the funniest fucking addition and I dont know anything about this franchise
Danielle Nierenberg, President of Food Tank, shares a sustainability pro-tip in honor of Earth Day. Instead of wasting leftover pasta water by pouring it down the sink, you can save it, let it cool and use it to water your plants. The starchy H2O will give them a beneficial nutrient boost and help them grow. Just be sure to avoid using cooking water that has been salted or seasoned.
This also applies to leftover water from boiling spinach, potatoes, and hardboiled eggs, according to Reader’s Digest.
Psssssst before you use it to water your plants, use at least part of the pasta water to make your pasta sauce
starch will make your cheese sauce or whatever extra creamy without the need of cream
