Sorry, no. By both temperament and training, the thing police officer find most important in interactions with citizens is in making damned sure the citizens know who is boss. And they're quick to go to physical force if the citizen gets at all uppity.

Unfortunately this gives me the choice of two guardless folding knives, and the jawbone of an ass.

If people die when fighting cops, such is one of the risks of that course of action. But defiance is not a medical condition; that's "sluggish schizophrenia" by another name.

That article is a reprint and kept the tagline from the original. Lukianoff himself at least remains aware, though whether he still controls FIRE or it was skinsuited out from under him I don't know.

Or it's totally fake, and "excited delirium" is just a medicalization of people fighting cops.

It is becoming clear that the "Republicans" aren't really a solid entity; there's the Uniparty and there's the MAGA party. The Uniparty includes all the Democrats (including the DSA and Bernie) and the remaining old-guard Republicans.

The modal white collar criminal is probably a homeowner knowingly paying a contractor cash under the table to help the contractor avoid taxation.

Because at the end of the day conservatives are willing to give a W to their culture war enemies and throw one of their own under the bus to keep their city from burning down. Same as for James Fields. And you can see the incentive problem there from Pluto.

We have such scripts. The problem is that they are so degrading to the non-police person that many self-respecting people simply cannot manage to engage in them.

if complete strangers were calling her on the phone telling her they'd kill her if she didn't take a YouTube video down. Even if they were just prank calls, even if she knew they were just prank calls.
Now suppose two mean girls cornered her in the school bathroom and told her the same thing?
The latter is bullying. The former is Tuesday Friday on the Internet.

The communists will always vote for communists thick or thin, and the wobblers will only vote against communists if things are going especially bad for the communists in charge or if things are going really good for the non-communists in charge. These two groups together make a majority, so you always go back to communism.

You don't have to sell your house, but if you keep it you do have to spend less than ~180 days in the state. I think this is similar in low-tax states but they aren't as aggressive about enforcing it as New York.

Problem is you can't clean the graft out of the social programs because the people elect governments who are openly in favor of this graft.

The problem with Argentina is the same as with the rest of Latin America... they always keep going back to commies.

"In essence, the threats were related to getting the music off the Internet or they were going to kill her," police spokesman Sgt. Rick Martinez said. "We can't validate how serious they are, but we do take it seriously."
Uh huh. In any case, a death threat from the other side of the globe generally isn't serious unless someone like Vladimir Putin is sending it. And it's not "bullying".

His "shenanigans" were perfectly legal. He put stock purchased with post-tax money in the Roth, it went up (bigly), he doesn't pay taxes on the gains. I wouldn't put it past a Democratic administration to reneg on Roths (either for him or generally), however.

God knows people like Rebecca Black were bullied horrifically by people she'd never met on the other side of the globe
Nobody on the other side of the globe that Rebecca Black did not know bullied her "horrifically". They may have said bad things about her, but that's not the same thing.
I have an alternate theory, that Darwin runs a school of rhetoric and we're seeing some of his students.
