So at what point will this discussion be flooded with "gently caress you bootlickers for thinking that this police deserves any praise for being a police"?

I also think that it was a cool maneuver for redirecting their attention away from the area they are trying to protect.

This was like opening the window in winter and then wondering why it got cold.

As leftists (statists) it is preposterous to suggest that there should be NO security forces protecting important people, events, and places. Whether you want to call them cops or something else, they are a basic necessity of government. You can hate everything about modern policing and still recognize that security personnel are not inherently bad things that shouldn't exist.

From this short clip, or at least during this short clip, this dude was exactly who we should want to be in that position. There is no contradiction there

Although I hate the shitheads that stormed the capital, I'm also miffed at people who say that the police should have gunned down everyone that entered. If they had done that, instead of seeing a bunch of dipshits fresh from a tailgate party mixed in with a few Unabomber crazies, we would be hearing about them as martyred patriots.

Though, I do get a healthy dose of schadenfreude from the guy who tasered himself in the balls and died of a heart attack. If they had all managed that, I think I would be free of complaint.

One thing I think about in relation to this is when the US embassy in Iran was stormed, which led to the Iran hostage crisis. When the Iranians stormed the gates, the senior security officer chose not to have security fire upon them because he realized they would be overrun anyway and would be ripped to shreds if they had done so.

Here is someone's opportunity to talk about this case being an inside job...which I have no response to.

Tumble posted:

My friends friends family had* a parrot, and the first time we were going over there to hang out he warned us "just be aware that our parrot is a bit of a dick" and I was a little nervous because like, I'd seen them in pet stores and stuff and they've got a beak that looks like it could take your finger off it wanted to.

(*Actually, given how long parrots live they very well could have it, it was more than 15 years ago and they'd had it for a while but they live like 50 years!)

However, they did not mean that the parrot, Olly, was bitey. The first time I went over there the Olly just stayed in it's cage while we were downstairs smoking weed and playing video games -- I asked about him and my friend said once I'd been over a few times he'd come out and chill, Olly wanted to observe me a couple of times and make sure I wasn't a rowdy child because apparently a child once pulled out one of his feathers and he didn't like them after that. Again, not in a bitey way, like he'd straight up say "No" to coming out if there were rowdy kids around.

The third time I went over there he was totally different. Rather than staring at me from his cage, he was moving around and playing with his toys, just generally being a playful, cool bird. After that, they'd let the parrot out when I was around and it would go around to a few of different perches and again, just do generally neat parrot stuff. I was able to hold it but I didn't really like to because they've got big-rear end claws and I saw him crack open nuts like nothing and I like my fingers. Still, we were cool.

But he's supposed to be a dick, right? Oh, he was. He loved opening things and hiding things; one time he made us miss a movie because he went into my friends pocket and hid his keys. We ended up finding them hung up on the back of a door handle. Remote controls had to go in a specific drawer that locked because otherwise he would spend a lot of effort opening the back and hiding the batteries. Shoes were taken off in the mudroom, if you left them in the kitchen there was a good chance he'd bite the laces in half.

Most of Olly's dickery though, was reserved for the dog. Their dog was a smaller dog with what I'm pretty sure was some jack russell in him so he was pretty energetic and vocal and Olly seemed to love hearing him bark. Olly could talk and Olly could tease. He'd fly over to the keyring (which was one that locked because again, he'd hide them if you didn't) and jiggle the keys and leash... and actually say "Walk time!" and every time the dog would come running, thinking he was getting a walk.

Olly also learned the concept of treats. On the counter there was a jar that had a metal latch on it and he learned how to open it and absolutely loved doing so. They stopped putting like, all the treats in it, but they'd leave a few in there. Dog treats, not bird treats. Why dog treats? Because he loved feeding the dog treats. He would go to his jar, open it, and pull out a treat and drop it on the floor for the dog and whistle and say "treat!" and the dog would be over in a second to get his snack. Most of the time. Sometimes he'd open the jar just because he found it fun, then he'd call the dog over... and just hop around doing what I'm pretty sure was mocking the dog for being tricked and then the dog would start barking and whining and Olly would get a bit louder and it was just really obvious this bird just loving loved fooling the dog.

I always thought it was hilarious but you could tell my friend and his family had grown a bit used to it - you'd hear the bird go "Treat!" and the dog would take off running and then just chaos in the kitchen, a bunch of barking and flapping and whistling and the family would just sorta shake their heads.

He was a cool bird.

That is just the best, smartest bird :3:

Or even had the National Guard there before rioting happened, like they did with BLM. There was absolutely zero reason for them not to have additional protection.

I know I keep talking about opening tracks and I think this is one of the best examples of why that matters that I've seen. Seriously, look at that.

It's so much easier than, for example, this.

Of course, easier and easy ain't the same.

That's what the avalanche of time and energy expenditure is often referred to. Like a snowball rolling downhill it all starts small with waking up at 4 AM and riding/driving all day in tough conditions. And then it just gets worse until eventually the real race is between your body's ability to go on and the end of the race. Here's a kamaz that didn't make it.

I've seen hippos, at the zoo and stuff (i know), but I have NEVER seen a 17' hippo, and I can't even fathom that. The one in that story looks, like maybe 10-11', tops? That's terrifying

Have some more info!

"...Barr also tried to bite pressure of an adult to measure male hippopotamus, but the attempt was due to the aggressiveness of the man to leave."

Made it sound like he tried to bite the hippo.

I didn't realise a zoot suit was a real thing. I thought it was just the name of the anthropomorphic suit in that movie about the alien (played by Steve Martin ? Christopher Lloyd ?).

e: it was My Favourite Martian, starring Christopher Lloyd.
