I have literally built a dungeons and dragons campaign to learn statistics, and had some students on their phones. I'm not a dancing bear, and having a dopamine panic-button makes it near impossible to engage with anything challenging (I struggle with it too and know it's an anxiety crutch, but it's super maladaptive).

There's quite a bit about American law (at least in practice if not theory) that's essentially "we all know he did it." Civil asset forfeiture, releasing mugshots to publicly shame people that haven't been convicted, etc. It's wrong but taking the high road doesn't work against fascism and doesn't stop those things from happening to the poor.
This is the hidden most based take in the thread.
Came here to say exactly this.
Most people are not armed in the US. And cop isn't even in the top ten most dangerous job. They act like everyone is armed because they're indoctrinated to see everyone as an enemy (and get off on violence).
Just a random cis-hetero dude scrolling through /all, but I think you totally pass. body dysphoria is a hell of a drug, even for cis folk. And it's hard as hell to take a photo of yourself that looks good. I've never succeeded in 3 decades. Sending love.
Can't really say it's not that bad so I'll just say that I hope that your tomorrow is slightly better than your today. Also there are a lot of people that value you as a human and want you in their community. Fascists are just louder (and more dangerous). Sending you love.
This song's going somewhere, baby. Somewhere with an accordion and a perm.
A common police trick is to twist someone's arm until it's in danger of dislocated so they panic and struggle, which gives them the excuse to use even more force and/or another charge (especially if they didn't have a good reason to arrest them in the first place).
I don't know what you're basing this on. I've worked at rural school districts and they get Fox news just as easily as any Frat-bro. And they are more likely to be able to storm school boards.
Did she? Because if not then you're just playing a fun imagination game.
I see where you're coming from. But for Westworld the gratuity is sort of fundamental to the theme and plot of the show.
