- Are you sure the bag comes first? I don’t see any science behind that and I’m also pretty sure most people put it in last at hogwarts where the queen lives.monospaced
- I've started drinking and enjoying hot tea in the late morning. It's got a serious jolt of caffeine in there.stoplying
- haha, fucking cool !i_was
- ^ Sorry wrong threadi_was
- @dasohr - apparently the reason Americans don't use kettles is because of their lower voltage - it makes them practically useless in 110v socketsNairn
- Tea is made in a pot with leaves. Anything else is a conveniently shit cuppa.MrT
- Microwave makes perfectly good hot water. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know anything. I bet the queen herself zaps it for 1 min before adding the milk.monospaced
- Microwaves have different power model to model. your 1 minutes heat might be different than other other 1 minute heat.pango
- No. All microwaves boil water for tea in 1 minute, no matter what.monospaced

"New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants to keep the Karens of the world at bay, and his new proposed bill is firsthand proof of that.
Cuomo wants state lawmakers to authorize a bill that will make it a hate crime to call 911 and cite a false accusation due to race, gender, or religion, the New York Post reports. This isn’t the first time this legislation has been introduced; Assemblyman Felix Ortiz (D-Brooklyn) initially proposed the bill in 2018. It was revisited after a white woman, Amy Cooper, called the police on a black man, Christian Cooper after he asked her to leash her dog.
“We’ve seen 911 calls which are race-based, false calls. A false 911 call based on race should be classified as a hate crime in the state of New York,” Cuomo said on Friday."
- Who the fuck downvoted this? Get fucked.MarleyMarl
- I'd go one further and say if one of these fuckwit Karen's calls the cops on for some racist BS reason and Johnny Law decides to be a hero and get trigger happyMarleyMarl
- Karen should held accountable. Let's face it, she didn't pull the trigger, but she aided in the killing.MarleyMarl
- She should be charged with attempted murder, right now. She lied on that call KNOWING that the cops will come, guns drawn. That was fucking cold.Gnash
- They are not going far enough with her. Her call was deliberate and calculated. She knew what the potential outcome could be from her totally lying.Gnash
- The Bobo Billutopian
- She didn’t just ‘call the police’ - she was fucking calling a hit. She should be in jailGnash
- BitchGnash
- She has a mental health issue, she needs psychiatric ward & 25 years of community service. Jail will just make her worse when she comes back to society.Sellies
- if she's mentaly ill, she can claim it. we'll let the doctors decide if she is mentaly ill.pango
- She was a vp in finance. She’s cold-blooded, not cookooGnash
- she will only be charged for attempted murder is police admit they would have kill the black dude when they get there.pango
- There’s no charge. I believe it was all dropped and worked out civillymonospaced
- I checked out what Doctors could say about her. (First paragraph explains a lot about America.)
https://www.ncbi.nlm…Sellies - well fraudulent calls already have rules. why not just stick with those? what have we currently learned about "hate" defined rulings anddeathboy
- how it basically comes down to stiffer sentence basically as a perceived thought crime. stick to the crime and what can be proved. start tackin thought crimesdeathboy

- r add+on motivation based crime. bored +5, lazy -2, drunk -1, high +2. Its asininedeathboy
- and this is democracy fails. because cuomo wants to keep his job all he cares about is pleasing the mobdeathboy
- I love this kind of thinking, but I do think that a law like this can be used for bad. For example, black people who are also asshole robbers / rapists can callProjectile
- ...hate crime when the cops arrive, claiming they were just taking a stroll.Projectile
- The existing rules didn’t allow for charges deathboy. If the cops had actually shown up and they were there maybe. But they had left.monospaced
- The new law is just a modification so that it doesn’t require someone actually being arrested for the crime to have happened. Understand?monospaced
- I for one am here for it. I've had the cops called on me for following some asshole into a parking lot that hit a person on a bike. like wtf.shellie
- he did a hit and run but he claimed I was stalking him. I just refused to let him go because he nearly killed some on a beach cruiser. some white privledge smhshellie
- like stalking? gtfoshellie
- “Can you tell me what color the suspect was?” “Yeah fucking right. Nice try.”cannonball1978
- well i still disagree. to add charges on extra charges for shit that cant be proved. its minority report/salem witch trial thinking.deathboy
- like shellie in your case the cops called on you. you think the person should be fined extra because you think they were racist?deathboy
- how do you prove it? can you? courts become emotionally based on charges instead of objective reasoning. not that jurys all objectivedeathboy

America came up with a television channel called “The Learning Channel.” It was dedicated to learning.
Some years later, the current hottest show on TLC is a reality to show called “1000 pound sisters” which is in its second season. Google it.
In just a few years we went from learning random stuff to a freak show designed to make even the lowest people feel superior to someone.

Elderly woman shot in the head with a rubber bullet
In a stable condition.
Why are the police shooting people in the head with rubber bullets?
At least two reporters were permanently blinded in the last few days.
https://www.facebook.com/1000109…- these aren't standard rubber bullets.
you have to be really close to have this kinetic impact. they are probably shooting with PVC or with Rubber+Metal core.sted - fucked up_niko
- you'd expect this in Assad's Syria_niko
- I had family members get hit with the ones in Ireland, usually the army would shoot them at the ground first to reduce the impact.PhanLo
- Plenty people they knew still died from being hit by them.PhanLo
- ah well using PBR is truly a anglo-saxon tradition goes back to the 70'.sted
- Reminiscent of Hong Kong as well where a female reporter was recently blinded by the policeyuekit
- also chile a few month ago.uan
- don't forget venezuela for last 20 yearshotroddy

- the nyt had a piece about it. https://www.youtube.…uan
- Also France, fascist pigs.i_was
- in france its forbidden to use PVC or metal cored rubber bullets. they had some issues because of this few years ago when the police started using giant bulletssted
- and head shots are forbidden.sted
- Ah yes and what happened few month ago with Gilet Jaunes ? shut up fucking idiot.i_was
- you can stop with these insults ty.
i was talking about what isn't allowed, and i think i wrote down that instead of a hardened cartridge they used oversizedsted - and as an addition if you know the history of France u would know that these recent protests weren't close what they had to survive in the past decades.sted

^ The substandard education system, the prevalence of religion, and the sensationalist news cycle all result in a (majority of) population that is completely incapable of critical thinking. Add to that the two-party political system, inward-looking culture, a superiority complex ingrained into everyone from birth, and you’ve got yourself the answer.
I am sorry it if seems oversimplified and I don't want to offend anyone, but, in a nutshell, I think that is it.

Despite what any cunt says, America is still in broad terms the best country in the world. You hold all of the world's ideals, to more or less a degree and apply them to the only truly pan-global culture that exists in any relevant sense. Yes, you have your problems, yes, you are often the worst of shits. But then so are we all.
I just hope that when you come out of the other end of this you have a big long look at yourself.
Much like all the other countries probably need to.
Fuck Trump.
- Yup, they're both the best and worst country in the world with the brightest and the dumbest people on the planet.
Thats the USA in a nutshell._niko - Fuck Trump, but the fact that he even has to be discussed is evidence that we are not the best country in the world.garbage
- You're the freest country in the world, and that's the most important fact in my book. You can go and be who you want in America more so than anywhere else.zarkonite
- ^ Well, that's an exaggeration. You can be who you want in any Western liberal democracy.Continuity
- Apart from the guns, the healthcare, the retard in chief and all the awesome winning what actually makes it 'best'.Morning_star
- Yes. But American foreign policy has a lot to answer for IMO.monoboy
- Maybe you could legally split the country by political leaning? A creationist superstate in the middle with no tax or public services.monoboy
- you spelt 'Canada' wrong ;)exador1
- jez kiddinexador1
- Leave the coasts for wizards, poets and people that understand data. In giant cities that loom like giant citadels of knowledge.monoboy
- A white supremacist caliphate and a cooperative brain trust separated by a yuuge wall.monoboy
- @continuity: I disagree. Most other democracies don't have a range from Texas to Calfornia and everything in between. You could live a socialized lifestyle orzarkonite
- live with no government support. Can't do that in most democracies...zarkonite
- I'd say being an EU citizen gives you a lot more variety than being a USA citizen does.yuekit
- ^OBBTKN
- the ecological footprint of the usa makes the best country thing obsolete pronto right?neverscared
- I love Europe but where can I live if I want low taxes and minimal governement services?zarkonite
- Best how?pango
- Usa is a third world country. Primitive system and mentality. Mass male genital mutilations, no health care, nation of homless people.fisheye
- In current situation we se the incompetent system at it’s best.
Someone once said the president reflects the nation.fisheye - ^ ThisContinuity
- Yeah. Trump is overqualified. Ticks all the boxes.monoboy
- wtf is this sycophantic nonsense??Khurram
- where can I live if I own a tiger?hotroddy
- Oh yes the best country in the world...give me flowersi_was
- In terms of low taxes...if you want high standard of living you have to pay for it. Look at the state of education and health care in a place like Texas.yuekit
- If you want low taxes and minimal government, honestly you'd be better off in an actual third world country.yuekit
- USA is worst of both worlds. Shockingly the US government (not including private sector) spends the same or more on health care as many European countries,yuekit
- without actually guaranteeing health care to its citizens.yuekit
- im just gonna leave this here.

- Nairn u are correct. A lot of crazy locals don't get it. And other jelly folk. It is why so many still try to migrate outside war shitdeathboy

I'm curious. What was your intent in starting this thread? How is negativity in a crisis anything but counterproductive?
I've seen many on here openly express feelings of stress and anxiety. People with loved ones and children. People losing their jobs. This won't help them. Stress upon stress is harmful to people. It manifests itself psychologically and physiologically. It can weaken your immune system and cause you to be overcome by your own fear.
I mean, I guess you do have the freedom to express yourself and maybe this is your way of dealing with your fear but be mindful of others when doing so.
I've found staying off of this site with its incessant, obsessive focus on the virus, and controlling my exposure to the extent I can act in my best interest AND maintain a healthy and happy perspective has been very beneficial. I kindly suggest you try it.
I haven't been tested but I've exhibited some of the symptoms and I've managed them so far through proper rest, nutrition, and video games. And while I'm saddened for those who are going through tougher situations I choose to stay strong and happy to the extent I can, if anything, so that it gives me the best chance to get through this mentally and physically.
It's a line that's decorated far too many Instagram accounts to not be cringe-inducing, but I still believe it to be a good lesson: Don't worry about the things you can't control.
- To be fare, there's a lot of pent-up anxiety in general in most people. Having a place to express yourself, vent, laugh and or cry is a positive.utopian
- I'm also trying to stay away from the news as much a possible. It's extremely difficult though. Take care of yourself Steve!utopian
- Thanks I appreciate it. Perhaps you're right. I just hope the many, over-burdened by their own circumstances, aren't unnecessarily overwhelmed by others'.SteveJobs
- I feel completed overwhelmed, trapped, helpless. Just wish that I could be close to my family. I probably will not see them for at least 3-4 months.utopian
- And they all live only roughly 10 miles from me...so close, yet so far.utopian
- Use that time what you would waste to read every headline to think about how can you help the people who are on the front-line of this.sted
- Sorry to hear that utopian :/SteveJobs
- Utopian just placating you. None of his posts display any of that concern.deathboy
- @deathboy you are trying to step into a territory where your concept of reality will be suck behind gravestones forever.sted
- No. I'm stepping in where someone is lying. Demonstrate in all utopians posts last month that show any concerndeathboy
- Fake social media shit calling out will be far more needed now than in any time.deathboy
- And fuck man. I thought you had the Hungarian background u might be bit more privy of bullshit and see the aims of itdeathboy
- Ie.. I'm staying away from the news but constantly posting any anti rep co servative or anti capitalism copy pasta he can... Hmmdeathboy
- As far as perception of reality goes I feel like mine is more accurate than most based on reason. But differs per person and abilitydeathboy
- great postfadein11
- Yep, stay positive, grounded and reasonable.ben_
- masks are useless unless you have it. N95 do work but there's not enough. Really the only way is to not go out and stay inside.elektro
- Once again, fuck off Deathboy you know nothing about nothing POS. All you do is bitch and complain about other peoples POVs. Go out and lick some toilet seats.utopian
- Uh huh utopian. Deflect. don't do anything towards what I said about your falsehoodsdeathboy
- what's your intent with this shit response? america is fucked because of capitalism, period. stop paying taxes.doesnotexist
- lol. work this logic out. america just happened to be all that somehow why capitalism was fucking it... what was overpowering capitalism leading to success?deathboy
- fell like bill cosby on the kid show shit people saydeathboy
