  • There's a theory called the "Monopoly on violence" which says that people will allow the government to commit violent acts against them as long as they believe that the government is legitimate and that there is no other group that can do this.

  • Two people dead

    "City officials said the ship, the Cuauhtemoc, struck the bridge shortly before 8:30 p.m. after losing power. Its two tall masts were knocked off when it made impact with the 140-year old suspension bridge as drivers sped by in either direction, according to multiple videos of the incident."

  • I'm loving Doom Dark ages, I'm on about level 8 out of 22. I like that there's enough room in levels to move around. Movement is awesome, you can just run everywhere. The weapons are extremely effective and your toolkit is reduced so you have shield-block shield-slam shield-throw melee and then guns. It's pretty easy to remember everything you have and then select an appropriate attack for the situation.
    I really love it. Hopefully there aren't any more Mech-pilot missions because that one sucked. The dragon wasn't my favorite either but you can make it through without much difficulty and it didn't take forever.

  • If we have half of last year's deaths at 5 months (instead of at 6 months), then it is an increase of 16% which, for weather, is within the scope of what I would expect from one year to another. It's about 4 more deaths in the first 5 months than last year.

    Of course this year's deaths might have been lower than last year without Trump's intervention. It's possible his actions will cause dozens of deaths by the end of the year.

  • People don't wish to help fight the war on drugs. Why should they? Are you destroyed by people's indifference to drug advertising or are you making a general statement not necessarily about this story? Are you okay with legal prescription drugs being advertised? Or is it the illegality that's a moral issue with you??

  • As someone who has spent a stupid account of time on property insurance in the last few years, for family and for work, I actually support allowing the price increase. Our insurance was so insanely cheap for a long time, and prices were regulated so carriers couldn't increase prices. Well, it became unprofitable, partly due to the wildfires. Carriers just withdrew from California completely. It left a huge hole in the market that is filled with surplus-lines / out of state insurers and their prices seem to be completely unregulated and unreasonable.
