  • There used to be a an armed security guard that would pick up the money from the Starbucks across the street from my last job that gave me the same impression as this little guard.

    He was 400lbs+ and I always thought “If something happens to this guard he’s not chasing anyone down. He’s gonna shoot em.” Tiny guards make me think the same. I hope she doesn’t have a gun.

    The standard for a Mary Sue character has gone way up too. The Japanese really figured out the formula with isikais where the protagonist is almost always good at everything or OP in some way, but the writing/world building is better. There are enough gems amongst the garbage that people know what a good one should contain now.


  • You’ve just misunderstood what freedom of speech is. The government won’t jail you for your opinions. You can say whatever you want that isn’t a threat or call to violence.

    Let’s be real though. That’s why people get to call you names when they disagree with you. They also have that same protected speech.

    Protesting is a thing you are doing while exercising your free speech. However, you can be doing 2 things at once. Exercising your free speech while committing the crime of trespassing, etc. That one right doesn’t make you legally immune to anything else you’re doing.

    Of course, people commit crimes while protesting to give their protest some teeth, and in some cases to bring attention to the law they might be protesting. But you should be prepared to be fined and arrested during spicy protests. People sitting in the road acting shocked they get hit and dragged away just make me feel like I’m looking at too many shocked Pikachus. You should expect it. That’s why you are there. If you didn’t face violence you aren’t really showing how strongly you feel. That’s what it means to stand against opposition.
