Got a genuine  out of me. Sorry for the wild example, the usual loud dumbasses on social media raising hell (  ) about the recent lady Pinhead is still fairly fresh in my mind.I'm pretty sure that character was like, genderless/androgynous in the original Clive Barker story?

See also Effective Altruism, which is just prosperity gospel minus god and approached from a different angle. Instead of "God made me rich because I'm good" it's "I need to be rich so I can do good."

From the original novella: The Hellbound Heart posted:"Do you understand?" the figure beside the first speaker demanded. Its voice, unlike that of I've always found it amusing that Pinhead has come to be known for his deep, menacing voice, when he is supposed to sound like an excited girl. *Excited girl voice* "We have such sights to show you!!!" I've heard mixed things about the new movie, though. Is it worth watching?

I imagine if he were convicted they'd have confiscated the set, but who knows It varies wildly depending on what state they live in (aside from murder, there's no statute of limitations on murder in any state AFAIK) but for burglary 15 years ago he's probably fine. Also, they'd have to actually tie him to a specific crime. You can't arrest someone for saying "I broke into houses fifteen years ago" without some sort of evidence they broke into a specific house, and also cops don't give a poo poo about crimes that happened 15 years ago.

If a cop catches you with lockpicks in public for any reason in any context whatsoever, they'll get you with intent and it would be challenging to fight that in court. Doesn't even matter if it's legal to own them in your state. Cops are not required to know the law and it's no problem for them to explain away arresting and charging you with a crime. Regardless, states where it's definitely illegal: Nevada, Ohio, and Virginia have a thing called "prima facie" which means "guilty until proven innocent" when it comes to posessing lockpicking tools. You have to prove you aren't going to use them for anything illegal, which is a hell of a thing to do in court. Mississippi claims they are legal unless you "conceal them." So they'll get you for having them in your pocket. Potentially even having them in a case like that image above as well if the cop wants to gently caress with you. Now that guy bragging about owning lockpicks and having robbed houses prior is a good way to be targeted by cops. They'll use that facebook post to prove intent if they were to later find him with those outside of his house. Zesty has a new favorite as of 12:00 on Nov 29, 2022 |

Right, the bigger issue is probable cause, and making themselves an easy target for police harassment, or of course if they're actively breaking into things still this potentially getting them on radar.

Like they know their past actions of letting owned dogs out at Crufts to get run over, or straight up euthanising dogs en masse are never going to get them the support of actual leftists, so they put out this weird bullshit to find people gullible enough to support them?

They truly believe in the mantra of 'all press is good press' despite it making them routinely look ridiculous and making most vegans cringe. Its gotten to the point where sometimes its hard to tell if they are joking to get a rise or being sincere. Like that campaign they did to get people to stop using certain phrases like "two birds with one stone" and "be the guinea-pig", comparing it to racist and homophobic language. But regardless, it made headlines and for them they think that makes people more likely to go vegan.....somehow.

As far as I am aware the actual philosophy behind PETA is that it is good for animals to die because living under human control is intrinsically wrong, they are literally better off dead than living under humans, which is why they kill so many of them.

You want the VHEMT for that. Although they at least generally just say you should stop making more humans rather than kill the current ones.
