whatever do you mean? are you suggesting that there are decades of evidence that the us justice system is a bad joke played on the minorities and/or disenfranchised, and then only functions to line/protect the pockets of the upper class and ultra-wealthy? preposterous!
I wish we had lemmy gold... Well this is as good as I got. Lemmy Silver.
I was hoping to see this here.
I like how this used to be a joke about being too cheap to pay for gold, but now that you can't buy it anyway it's as good as anything else.
Of course a silver figurine of Saint Lemmy exists because why not.
We need a silver can of beans to give people
I've read Vladimir Bukovsky (the Soviet dissident), and the way he describes Soviet courts I advise you to see.
Of course that was about political cases etc, but when you're complaining, remember that it can be worse.
"Stop complaining, pissant, it could be worse" - most abusive situations
The "it could be worse" Olympics is the game of the complacent. You may be complacent. Are you?
In some things yes and I'm fighting it, it's more about understanding well how your situation evaluates among possible ones.
That's fair. In that case, with that reasoning, it seems less like you're being pessimistic and more like you're trying to be realistic. I would caution though, reality isn't ALL negative, though the neutrality and negativity inside of it can always be improved. Heck, even most positives in reality can often be improved.
Personally, I think the Olympics game tends to start when focus becomes too great on one specific aspect, which leads to what is essentially a one upmanship of situational comparison, but that's all I really wanted to poke at.
Thanks for the even response! Sometimes me phrasing stuff like that starts fights even though I only want to poke a little bit. In any case, I hope your day goes well!
Same here.
Good day to you too.
