If the zippers didn't suck the LTT back pack would be the perfect one for me.

ADAB? Basically the same idea.

Edit: I feel like I might be misunderstanding something since I'm getting downvoted. Isn't that same mindset similar to the sentiment behind ACAB? If not please explain how they are different.

Cops are inherently bastards because they are part of a bastardized system and even if you are a "good cop" you are still perpetuating the system. That would be similar to being part of the democratic party as a progressive where you may be a "good dem" but they are still perpetuating the system by being beholden to the two party system.

I really want intel to do well in the GPU space. Having a 3rd in the market would do amazing things for compitiion especially since nvidia couldn't just bully them into submission.

lemm.ee blocks very few instances if you want true wild west.

unfortuatly the healthy way to deal with a situation like that is to remove yourself from it which children are not allowed to do.

I'm not actually sure that's true with the truly absurd tarriff that trump has levied. Sure the stuff that's on hold will keep getting bought from China but other stuff will almost certainly be cheaper from other countries at this point. Nearly tripling the pre sale cost is not good for business.

I agree. Try arguing that to a conservative judge in the south and you will simply be sent home with your abusive parent, who is likely enraged about having to defend themselves from the "law".

Acting like the problem only exists in america and there aren't similar things happening in europe will be how you fall into the same trap.

As someone that is unfortunately privy to the "locker room talk" you are absolutely right. I think I made friends with someone and then they say the absolutely most horrendous things because they feel comfortable enough to go mask off.

Actually I don't have to be ok with anyone contributing to the burning down of the planet. I feel like adults should have a better understanding of morality than simply "its against the rules and is therefore wrong".

I think you underestimate the sheer number of homophobic parents that aren't necessarily abusive but would be if their kid ever came out. There are a lot of people I've talked to that their online escape was the one thing that kept from killing themselves.

I'm not saying that it's healthy but there are a lot of kids in a situation that they can not escape from because of the way that society treats children. Children are treated as something that is closer to property than an individual when it comes to things like law enforcement and emotional abuse.
