Former Aston Villa player Dalian Atkinson, who died in the early hours of Monday morning after being tasered by Mercia Police.

Police have stated that tasers are normally very safe unless used improperly or against people with health conditions.

Police have also stated that they responded to the call "after concerns were raised about the man's health."

Black people have a higher risk of suffering sudden heart attacks when in the presence of police officers, didn't you know?


Protest by the family of Adama Traoré after his death in France last month. He died in custody of a massive infection... or a heart attack... or asphyxiation after three police officers piled on him during his arrest. The conflicting causes of death are because it took three coroner reports to mention that he was asphyxiated.

One has to wonder the logic of responding out of 'concern for health' and then using the 'it's fine when used on healthy people' line.

Another example of police acting instead of health workers, rather than in conjunction with them?

White people do indeed gently caress. I personally wish I could gently caress a little more often, but otherwise this holds up perfectly well.

The burger gets a bad rap. Half or more of the calories from fast food come from the fries and soda. The burger at least has some nutritional value.

Order the burger by itself and drink water.

Well, they weren't part of the Olympiad, but they did have their own games:

quote:

The first games began as an annual foot race of young women in competition for the position of the priestess for the goddess, Hera,[18] and a second race was instituted for a consort for the priestess who would participate in the religious traditions at the temple.[19]
The Heraea Games, the first recorded competition for women in the Olympic Stadium, were held as early as the sixth century BC. It

Sometimes I wonder how much bodyshaming/objectification comes from humanity's hangups about sexuality, and how much said hangups are justifiable.

gently caress it though, let's just rail against the other party.

I looked up The 3 Words you must Never say to a guy:

Imagine the worst thing a guy could say to your (thought joggers: "I'm in love with your sister," "I killed a man..."), multiply it by 10, add a full weekend of nothing but golf on TV--and you'll start to understand how awful it is for us to hear "I look fat" coming out of a girl's mouth.

Phelps represents the current limits of human physical performance; Ledecky still lags some four decades behind men's world record history. Phelps is like an experimental bullet car shooting across a dry salt lake bed - Ledecky is a trusty, affordable and time-tested family car that doesn't do much to excite any passion anymore. It's as simple as that.
