Every time I'm holding something and my dog thinks it's food I let her smell it and then she's like "oh ok I'm not interested then"

This would be so fucking annoying, I don't use reddit day to day anymore but it's still a useful research tool when I see results from it on Google. I don't hate their search feature quite as much as some but I still don't want to use it most of the time.

This seems so dumb for them to do, I feel like having their content listed on search engines is s major advantage they have over Facebook et al.

I just read the article and that is absolutely disgusting, even if the deputy's side of the story is all true why are they allowed kill someone for "resisting arrest??" Shouldn't they only use their gun if their life or the lives of members of the public are being threatened? I really hope that cop gets life in prison and has an extremely miserable rest of his life like the cop that murdered George Floyd, but something tells me that won't be happening here.

How do the police manage to murder someone in a traffic stop??? Doesn't that just entail the police telling someone their brake lights aren't working or ticketing them for being 5mph over the speed limit? Man I'm glad the police (and everybody else for that matter) don't have guns in my country because that would be happening here too. That poor man and his family.

I mean yea, why hasn't she been though? If this was an adults only show I would still think this is bad but not that serious. While children are around though that is a really bad thing to do and they should definitely face legal consequences.

If someone who wasn't a congressional representative did that they would surely go to prison right, and maybe put on that register for people who need to stay a certain distance away from schools and such?

I looked into it briefly after hearing this news and saw people talking about Godot. It's for 2D and 3D multi-platform games and you can use C#, C++ and others. Sounds pretty cool

It's trickle up economics

Well yeah, but also I think it's just that the same people who own these businesses that people work for, and the friends and family of those people, also own lots of property much of which is office space which they don't want to lose money. That and all of the businesses (e.g. Starbucks) and the property they're in that partially make money from people on their way to work. And if you want to go even deeper, if people are WFM then they may not have to eat out as often, might not need to pay for a lot of things as often if they have more time.

So much money can be lost and rich people all know each other and have class consciousness, I think that's why we're seeing so much anti-WFM propaganda

Most of the lyrics are benign and he has plenty of musical talent. But the lyrics that comment on politics are just incredibly brain dead, I don't know what else to tell you. It is proposing welfare recipients as the reason for poverty, but what percentage of tax returns go to welfare? Obviously like, nothing. Additionally his own region of the country has some of the highest rates of welfare recipiency and if that was cut off does he really think that would improve anything?

I think the reason it leaves so many people with a bad taste in their mouths is because clearly a bait and switch is being performed. The first part draws your attention to the issues the singer is experiencing in his life such as low pay, then in the middle he goes on to talk about the "Rich men North of Richmond-" which if that is in reference to DC politicians then fair enough- in addition to welfare recipients as if those two things are related. He is just running defence for the wealthy by trying to distract people from the problems downstream from general extreme wealth inequality by trying to convince us fat people buying candy is causing everyone's problems. Not to mention the humour there is in seeing someone that looks pretty severely overweight themselves calling out other fat people (much like how he is an apparent working class man going after over working class people.)

In my opinion the purpose of the song is just to turn poor people against each other so we won't get any ideas about taxing the rich or anything like that. This is probably be reason why lovely people like Matt Walsh were early promoters of the song.
