This point does raise some valid concerns...

One of the only intros I would watch through near every time I played the game

That's a big oof

Oh good, MD already covered thoughts I was mulling on. Like. Forget looking themselves in the mirror. How does the entire department come back from this embarrassment? Ain't nobody in that district going to be calling the cops for anything for a while. Would expect names and faces to be circulating before long, if they aren't already. Surely they know none of them could make so much as a traffic stop without being spat on at the least. The only honorable thing to do would be shameful resignation en masse. Think I'd also be liking to see their police budget significantly slashed and redirected towards either the schools or a victims fund or both. They clearly aren't using the money for anything useful.

Why give the cops that money when it's the teachers willing to sacrifice themselves to save the kids?

It'd be nice to see, but, the people in charge of making that reform are the same ones that benefit from the system staying broken as is. Relying on a broken system to fix itself is like treating cancer with hopes and prayers. (ok, slightly hyperbolic, bit too doom'n'gloom, there should be means to achieve meaningful change, but I'm not optimistic enough to think it'll happen without lighting a proverbial literal fire under their asses.)

I think the answer to that has historically been "revolution."

Wait, why would anyone be trying to pin this on Biden? Bonus round:

This also comes to mind when I think of the consequences of banning abortions

Would agree with scoob, everyone is meant to be hateable and toxic. I'd say any decline it may be suffering from is just a common trait for a lot of these shows that come in hot and then just start to coast. Kinda like Archer. Early on, the writers are on fire. After a while, the novelty wears off and everything just starts feeling predictable.

Isn't that the entire show? Dragging things out as long as possible?

"I can rescue your friends" well fucking get to it already, why don't ya?

Also pretty dumb since the majority of Americans are in favor of abortion rights. Kinda like gun control... Probably also dismantling the electoral college... Student loan forgiveness... Increasing the minimum wage.... Paid maternal/family leave... What power do "the people" have again?

I'm also enjoying the takes of "SC strikes down abortion clinic buffer zones because """"free speech""""" in a side-by-side with "SC erects fence to keep out protestors."

It's the righteous thing to do.

If One Piece starts actually picking up pace, I say they oughtta swap out the double-eps over to Naruto to help burn through the next stretch of filler.

I think the Naruto/Gaara fight arc segment was maybe about as far as I ever got in the original series. Not actually sure I ever saw the conclusion, actually...

Makes for a fun consideration Leads to the predictable conclusion that the patriarchy kills women.

Didn't, like.. someone in the education department have ties to a major adoption agency? Maybe that was just a Trump administration thing..

Protecting and serving. More like getting served.

Counter-point: Dude should still know better than to just go for it without first educating himself on risks and safety. But then, I guess probably it was a lot harder to find like-minded people back then.. Sometimes we might forget how easy the kink community has it these days.

"Respect the founding fathers!"

I don't think it's unreasonable to conclude some change needs to happen in some capacity. Obviously the reality is that it never will. We've inextricably linked things like nationalism and patriotism and "dedication to the """founding fathers"""" (as if anyone knows what that even means anymore), building up this idea that our country is clearly perfect and should never change and in fact maybe we changed too much already and need to go backwards, etc. The entire identity of conservatives is stagnation in service to some ideal that never existed. Sometimes kinda suspect this country would sooner split than ever actually recognize the need to modernize.

If course it's not in the constitution. Lots of things aren't. The damned thing is near 250 years old. Can we not keep referring to it to continue guiding modern law? Or if we insist, maybe at least get it updated once in a while? Too sensible?

What am I to you?
