Podcast live events are surprisingly similar to Model UN meets, the crucial difference being that the people having sex with teenagers at Model UN meets are just other teenagers

Oh this comes off more as one of those Madison Cawthorn “M’lady” CHUDs who think life is like the preface of his MGTOW books and they try to farm Twitter clout by posting poo poo like “Women will only ever respect a man in jeans!”

You're going a bit too far right with it, this is a Resistance type centrist guy who is extremely vocal about how he eats pussy in a specifically woman-respecting way. He's Joss Whedon by way of Art Of Manliness.

yeah but that doesn't also incorporate an easy simple reference to the media blatantly lying to everyone's face while knowing everyone knows they're lying and not giving a gently caress

Every time I watch a wrestling show and the announcers talk around the fact the audience is chanting "shut the gently caress up" at a heel it just goes to show the perfidious nature of the international media and their becrowned lapdog Jerry Lawler

Maybe this article wasn't the one I was thinking of. But it does cover the episode I was thinking of:


In the seventh episode of season one, ‘48 Hours’, Jake arrests Dustin Whitman (Kid Cudi) - a black man who just got out prison after being arrested by Jake two years ago - for a robbery that matches his M.O. The problem is that Jake has no proper evidence other than his ‘gut feeling’. Because of the lack of evidence, he now only has 48 hours to prove that Whitman did it, if not, Whitman walks.

48 hours pass and the squad got nothing. Everyone is mad at Jake, not only for making them stay overnight to work on his irrational arrest but because he has potentially opened up the precinct for a lawsuit. But just as Whitman and his lawyer are about to leave, Jake has an epiphany and solves the case.

At the end of the day, they always get the guy. This is not the reality. Not only do cases go cold or take several arrests to find the right perp, but an estimated up to 5% of U.S. inmates are innocent of the crimes they are convicted for - this means that potentially over 100.000 people are sitting behind bars for no other reason judicial ‘mistakes’.





Aha, this is the article I was thinking of: https://penrosesun.tumblr.com/post/620369127807254528/more-people-need-to-understand-what-we-mean-when



The episode treats the main character’s behavior as though the problem is that he made work for his coworkers, not that he violated a suspect’s constitutional rights. It’s made very clear that his coworker’s date night is more important than a wrongfully arrested man being confined in a jail cell for two full days.

It is in fact illegal to go on a fishing expedition like the one depicted after detaining a suspect. The “you have 48 hours” rule is meant to give the courts time to hold the required probable cause hearing even when there is a court backlog, not to give the cops a chance to gather evidence. In fact, the SCOTUS case which created the 48 hour hold rule even explicitly says: “This is not to say that the probable cause determination in a particular case passes constitutional muster simply because it is provided within 48 hours. Such a hearing may nonetheless violate Gerstein if the arrested individual can prove that his or her probable cause determination was delayed unreasonably. Examples of unreasonable delay are delays for the purpose of gathering additional evidence to justify the arrest, a delay motivated by ill will against the arrested individual, or delay for delay’s sake.” The main characters are breaking the law, and it’s clear that the policy within their precinct is to break the law.

More importantly the show isn't funny

It's kinda like The Boys, you don't gotta sit through the full episodes, just clips of the good parts.

I agree that cum town is best enjoyed through highlights and compilations but The Boys is an extremely well-constructed and brisk show, it's all the good part.

Except for Hughie, but even he's not that bad, just a disappointingly Whedon take compared to the comic.
