“You people are next” does seem pretty threat-ish, however:

After being charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, a judge set Boston’s bond at $100,000.

That is completely out of touch with what happened. “You people are next” not an act of terrorism.

• Likely wearing similar clothes to the widely circulated photographs. Otherwise how did anyone recognize him?
• Still had his ghost gun and manifesto on him.
• Cops asked him for an ID and he gave them the same fake New Jersey ID that had been widely reported as what he used to check into a hostel in NYC.

Where these just common mistakes? Made by the same person who succeeded at avoiding so many others? But if he was trying to turn himself in, getting arrested at McDonalds doesn’t seem like the method I would have chosen. Was he trying for suicide by police?

I’m leaning on the side of a normal human ‘on the run’ and making normal mistakes. But there is enough to make me doubt that.

Also if they ever make a movie out of this, James Franco’s brother Dave Franco has a passing resemblance.

I literally never said anything about police. I’m not trying to argue about police. Just that the world is in fact a safe place that continues to get safer. If the fact that the crime continues to drop, if that destroys your argument about police being bad, then maybe get a new argument about why police are bad. Crime is down. It’s just a statement of fact.

Global Peace Index includes factors like military spending and weapons exports. It’s not a measure of how safe it is to live inside the USA.

I’m not saying it’s “good enough,” I’m saying that it has improved. It will hopefully continue to improve. It’s far from perfect. I have no disagreements there. My problem was with this statement:

If police and prisons made societies safer the USA would be the safest society on the planet.

Well it is one of the safest societies on the planet. And it continues to get safer.

This is not the argument against police you think it is.

One lie I’ve heard over and over in my life is how unsafe everything is. Small town people think the cities are unsafe. City people think the small towns are unsafe. They’re not. They’re actually fine. It’s a scare tactic. The media over reports crime. Look at any crime statistics and you’ll see, yes, some recent spikes. As always. But if you’re watching the news you’d think we’ve been in a perpetual crime spike since the 1960’s or so. It’s a safer world right now than it was 50 and 100 years ago.

The USA is, in fact (even if it upsets you) one of the safest societies in the history of the world. Only behind other modern 1st world nations.

On a global scale this is probably one of the safest times in human history, and the USA is safer than most.

Seems like that stat about priests is mostly true, though hard to be sure of anything because only 1 in 10 incidents are reported.

I’m seeing numbers like 2-3% of men have committed child sexual abuse, and possibly 4% of priests. However the number of victims might be significantly higher for priests as they are encountering far more children.

It seems theoretically possible, with an unlimited budget and no time limit.

Larry The Cable Guy was the even weirder part. It’s a character he plays with a fake accent, making fun of rednecks. Yet the rednecks were the people who loved it.

IDK it’s like if the biggest fans of The Jazz Singer were black, or if the biggest fans of Borat were native Kazakhs. Groups are rarely happy with being depicted as a caricature played by a foreigner.

Happened in 1991 but not uploaded until 2009. Mirrors the plot of Minority Report (2002). Like he could see the future.

Considering how many military roles he had, I’m going with Lt. Col. J.B. “Johnny the Duke” Thomas

John Wayne played so many characters named “John” or “Duke.” So many that I just tried to count how many roles and I lost track. I counted twice and got two different numbers, but I believe my final tally is 39 roles where his character had at least one of those 2 names.

EDIT: Final tally:

36 - “John” or “Johnny”

3 - “J” first initial, no full name given

5 - “Duke”

Bruce Almighty? His most memorable role.

Hanging chads were a tiny blip on the radar in the general story of the 2000 election. Trump’s had 100 scandals more noteworthy than hanging chads.

It’s a high visibility jacket. High visibility stuff messes up photographs.

The killing process on Windows used to work better. Since about Windows 8 it’s not been quite the same.

It’s not though. They worded it confusingly on purpose. The two that are still stuck are named Williams and Wilmore. The 4 mentioned in this article have different names.

That’s what the scene implies. The whole scene makes no sense after the backstory that the prequels added.

The idea of the scene is that we, the viewer, have no idea what the force is yet. Just like character who learns the hard way. Because this is the first Star Wars movie and they haven’t even started calling it Episode 4 yet.

The way the font keeps changing sizes is terrible and yet I’m sure they went through extra effort to make that happen.
