The WSJ article claims that the police have over 3 times more contacts with black people than white so therefore there is no evidence that they are killing a disproportionate number of black people. That of course begs the question of why the police have so much more contact with black people. They...

Apparently he also tested positive for Coronavirus, and had fentanyl + methamphetamine in his system at the time of his death. This has nothing to do with his death. I'm not arguing they were contributing factors to the cause of death, that officer unjustifiably murdered him and it's pretty clear t...

the occasions in which he would simply command students “Die!” In all my time here, I've never been able to wrap my brain around how quickly, casually, and often I've seen the locals telling people to die. Sometimes it comes across like an angsty incel spouting "I wish you were dead!" but...

the present USA is still a WASPish society and criticism of America today is a criticism of white people, because they have the power in the USA. An African-American doesn't like the color of my skin, he stops me drinking in the same bar as him/her or dating his sister/brother.... that's as far has...

Forget about the racial element for a moment and tell me why you think there is no evidence of problem with the police killing too many people in America. Because Rwanda and Sudan are actually a bit worse? So even before we consider the reasons black people are way over represented, the police in t...

I think he was more commenting on the mainstream outlets which are promoting a narrative that doesn't exist... https://archive.is/XLNh4 This charge of systemic police bias was wrong during the Obama years and remains so today. However sickening the video of Floyd’s arrest, it isn’t representative of...

In any case, we only have the police's word on protester violence and no tear gas being used. Church staff and numerous other reporters say otherwise. I have no doubt the majority of the people gathered were there with peaceful intentions but it only takes a few assholes to start throwing things at...

According to that link', "The only thing more terrifying than being tear gassed or pepper sprayed is being tear gassed or pepper sprayed ..." So it sounds like a pretty fine distinction to me. Pepper spray seems to last a bit longer actually. Except with the tear gas, you get the added be...

TEAR GAS VS. PEPPER SPRAY https://www.aftermath.com/content/tear-gas-vs-pepper-spray/#:~:text=The%20two%20biggest%20differences%20between,comes%20from%20man%2Dmade%20compounds. If you're going to be hit by one, you'd prefer it to be pepper spray. More than semantics. I'm with you on Trump's actions ...

You think numerous eyewitnesses and the church are not telling the truth but these people are? I think they don't know the difference between tear gas and what was actually used...and it's significant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tear_gas Any even if you accept what they say how are pepper balls ...

Maybe a lame horse? Acting Chief Gregory T. Monahan of the United States Park Police said officers did not use tear gas against protesters near the White House on Monday, according to a statement released Tuesday. Reports of officers using tear gas against protesters in Lafayette Park circulated Mon...

Japan hasn't done relatively well because of eating toxic fish. Most people here have no idea of what real vitamin supps are because the stuff sold here is garbage, and of course as is usual in J land expensive garbage. If they had Blackmore's from NZ for example or other credible, quality controll...

What your "data" fails to mention is that black people are more often than not shot by black cops. And you can look that up. This isn't a shooting, but one of those black on black violence things that gets...whitewashed. https://www.jacksonfreepress.com/news/2020/may/26/after-video-emerge...

https://i.ibb.co/H2bTCfG/thugs.jpg :keyboardcoffee: Seriously though, there is a difference between peaceful protests demanding answers/change and riots...with people taking advantage for looting. The officer holding the guy down by his neck was malicious and unnecessary. That cop can get fucked an...

The trampoline works!

That has to be put there by a furriner...it's too good.

[*] Relatively low vitamin D deficiency levels. A commentary in the Lancet, one of the leading medical journals, states that though insufficient clinical research has yet to prove that there is a definite link between vitamin D deficiency and the risk of being infected by or the risk to die from Co...

Just wait til someone figures out they can use an online fax service to fax the olympic committee a million pages of that logo....might as well hit their lawyer's office as well

:keyboardcoffee: I'm sure old J-dudes totally relate to Jesus and Yoda references. The 62-year-old founder and chief executive of the Japanese technology conglomerate has vowed that his $100bn Vision Fund will tackle “the biggest challenges and risks facing humanity today”. This is like the new bill...

I ended up ordering my needs on the Prime river as well. Fuck battling with the baba's in the morning, waking up earlier than them is a battle I don't need.

Indeed, but you're giving the powers that be a bit too much credit for creativity and foresight here.

I'd argue that gram for gram, the Japanese take on anything with butter, they're using margarine in, and it's much worse for you than most variations you'd find in the west. The portion size on the other hand.....<sucks teeth>

So....coronavirus orgies? Herd immunity now?

News from the soccer moms I know is people are getting harassed at work for the lack of social distancing when they're not at the office. Social media stalking FTW?

Hopefully their online offerings get better and it would still be worth it for you. They really should open one up there. Shinmisato one near me has a gas station that is usually 10 yen less per liter than a normal gas station. A few months of filling up and the membership has paid for itself. Final...

Well, at least they still think 7-11, Denny's, etc. originated in Japan...and that Mister Donut is America Donut Numbaaa wan!!

I was going to suggest Costco but for the past 2 weeks they haven't had the large blocks of NZ butter they usually carry.
