So what are you saying?
People who wrongly park in disabled spaces, or buy badges for convenience. -Grandfather had bad leg after getting blown up in WW2 and was in a wheel chair for last 15 years of life.
Finding space enough to open door wide, unpack heavy 70s design chair, haul him in and not be too far from intended location etc was a regular logistical bitch

I donāt really trust the institutions that are addressing this issue, as they are the same institutions that failed to do anything about it for decades. Only after Larry Nassar has been sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison for child porn do we get a show trial where a bunch of victims get to make impact statements and a judge gets to āsign his death warrantā by giving him a separate sentence that will never be served because heāll already die in prison from the first sentence.
Not a lot can be done now to undo the evil that Larry Nassar perpetrated. Not much can even be done to further punish him. It feels like the trial exists more for various people and institutions to prove that it isnāt their fault and that they donāt feel guilty. If that was true, it wouldnāt need to be said.
I disagree. About 18 years ago I was in jail for a couple of DUIs. They put most of the relatively harmless people in the same category and house them accordingly, along with people that are awaiting or in the process of trial.
So weāre watching the news and thereās a guy being walked out of the court house with 90 counts of child molestation. Minutes later, who walks in? That guy. The place went silent but there was a palpable dead serious air about it, and someone said something like āTheres that motherfuckerā, and the C.O. hit the red alert button, and the whole pod was put on lockdown, all in like seconds- because everybody knew without saying anything- that somebody if not multiple people- was going to kill that dude the first chance they got.
There is nothing in Nassars future but fear and death. No matter where they put him, no amount of security will keep him safe. Someone, somewhere, at some point- will get the chance, and when they do, he will be ended. If there truly is justice, it will require multiple attempts.

Interesting. Maybe the whole thing was an elaborate plan to get Larry Nassar shivved to death. That is definitely something I hadnāt considered.
I donāt think it was necessarily a plan, just a byproduct of the publicity.
But- If you give any credence to dog whistling, you could say that the judge was sending a very strong message. Virtually unmistakable.

This reminds me of the guy who kidnapped little girls in Cleveland and held them for decades. Kicking them in the stomach to abort their babies and all sorts of heinous stuff.
He hung himself after like 2 weeks in prison.
Something that pissed me off yesterday, had a gentleman come up and ask me if I had seen/been following the Nasser case, I said that I had seen it and knew the basics and that it was pretty powerful stuff with 156 statements from victims, the first words out of his mouth after I said that were, āYeah, but how many of them just want to be famous?ā ā¦I genuinely almost lost my shit.
I get that there are disingenuous people of both sexes, I get that people will take advantage of horrible situations to get their 15 minutes, but man, it hit me wrong, very wrong.

I think my change in demeanor gave him the indication that he should leave the desk, quickly.

Laying people off pisses me off. Working for failing companies pisses me off. Sending in my audit files at 3:40am to meet a deadline while my boss hasnāt worked overtime in 20 years pisses me off.
The hate is strong this week.

Way more legit than my r/news ā¦ thanks for the perspective, you da man
Doesnāt really piss me off per se. It does make me chuckleā¦
My nephew just joined the Army. Mofo is taking selfies for Facebook, calling, and texting everyone under the sun. When I got to boot camp (granted this was 2004-USMC) aināt nobody taking selfieās and posting them on MySpace!
A phone call, lmfao. I donāt think I even had a chance to write a letter until the end of first phase.

Same here ā¦ '01-'02 bootcamp. Got a 5 minute call (max) on a shitty pay phone just to tell my parents Iām alive. Thatās it for like weeks. Donāt think I talked to anyone back home until I sent the invite for graduation.
Iāve had friends who were TIās and according to them they canāt even like, be mean to the kids. Like wtf? I much prefer my experience to what I imagine that shitās like now.

Canāt be mean to kids, but expected to fight and, possibly, die for their country?
Thereās a funny clip on facebook with an Army Drill Sergeant that compares boot camp from the early 2000s to boot camp now. Itās pretty funny. Iāll have to see it I can find it.
Edit: Here it is:
