Well I guess that’s much better than killing innocent Black people, but why on earth are they not doing their job?!
Biittch are you joking? We aint paying yall to catch em all
They’re acting human for a change, let them be.
This is actually a good thing.
1) The police are aware of this game and because they are playing they know where people may tend to congregate. Means they will be more understanding if a bunch of random people are hanging out near a place that virtually has no one there.
2) Because the news has been blasting that people are getting mugged and attacked at PokeStops, it brings up a safety issue. Well if cops decided to play Pokemon GO and hang out near some of these Stops, it will increase safety because there’s less likely hood of a mugging to occur when there are one to a few cops around.
3) This unintentionally puts cops out in multiple locations similar to how patrols work. Thus this increases public safety and gives a higher sense of security if you aren’t adverse to law enforcement.
4) It makes them happy. Gives a common ground for the populous and youth to converse to the police with rather than them walking up and asking them if they are doing something bad/staying out of trouble. Happy + Happy = A Good Thing.

Other issues on pause, we need to demilitarize our police. And that starts by deconstructing the hegemony that divides “police” and “citizens”.
This helps. Help is good.
Yeah when I saw this I immediately thought it was a good thing! Y’all need to chill.
Yea, when I was at 14th street last week i saw a lotta police in the area and one asked me if i was playin it
Of course i wasAdditionally, having shared ground psychologically *FORCES* you to waver in your “us vs them” mentality. This is how people negotiate in hostage situations, with people standing on bridges about to commit suicide, etc etc. Find something, SOMETHING, ANYTHING, to relate to them about, because BANG!!!!!! Your little human brain INSTANTLY starts second-guessing whether this person you thought was an enemy really is an enemy. And even a moment of mental hesitation, of someone’s base animal hindbrain pausing to wonder, “friend?? packmate???” might provide enough time for a life to be saved.
This is a good thing. This is a very good thing. Change the culture, build community.

when science tells u to distrust men
When science also tells you that a strategy of mutual accommodation is as successful as a strategy of exploitation.
Worthy of note is the fact that women do as well as or better than men in terms of total points earned
(Emphasis mine.) When science tells you that a strategy of mutual accommodation is more successful than one of exploitation. And this is research that is likely more than a decade old telling us this, and yet.

On a happy note, seeing the horde of tiny, screaming t-rex in my activity feed makes me smile. I want to animate more of them now.
(Thanks for the reblog @copperbadge <3)
Now I’m picturing a bunch of tiny cube-headed T-Rexes running around in your home like
Me: That would be so cute! Wait.. I could.. damn you @copperbadge

OH MY GOD *clutches heart*

It’s so wild when you see a photo of a person from history who looks so much like a Hollywood archetype of whatever they did that you’re like “this must be made up.” “This must be an actor.” NO! This is actually what World War II Flying Ace Urban L. “Ben” Drew actually literally looked like in life. Went around looking like this, shooting down jet-powered Luftwaffe aircraft from his lil Snoopy-looking propellor-nosed Mustang. Hopped triumphantly down from the plane wing, pulled off his flying cap, ran a hand boyishly through his sweat-darkened hair, face lookin like that the whole time. Can you imagine???
Pilot Officer John Henry Smythe, an RAF navigator, actually looked like this EVERY DAY. Undertook 27 bombing missions looking like this. Parachuted out of his shot-down plane in Germany, looked like this when he landed, except all disheveled and defiant and wearing a shearling-lined leather jacket. WHAT A WORLD!!!!
Evelyn Ablon, a volunteer with the Women’s Army Corps, kept Air Force flights running smoothly while looking like an old-Hollywood Chelsea Peretti and maintaining an on point manicure. (National Museum of American Jewish Military History)

So
in Elder Scrolls Online, you can steal things. And sometimes, you will get caught stealing. Usually, when this happens, NPCs will just be like “ugh smh” and you’ll get a small bounty, which will eventually wear off.
But sometimes. Sometimes. NPCs will flip out and try to murder you for stealing. They will try to punch you until you die.
When this happens, you have a number of options:
- Kill them. This is not ideal, however, because killing them will count as murder, even if it was in self-defense. Additionally, even if there’s no one else around, killing them will still get you the murder bounty; it appears that they can be witnesses to their own murder.
- Let them kill you. This is also not ideal, for obvious reasons, as your gear will get damaged and you’ll have to spend gold to repair it.
- Try to run. This is risky, however, because if you’re in a town, the guards might catch you. If the guards catch you, they will take all of your stolen loot, which is terrible. It’s better to be killed than let the guards take your stolen loot.
- Try to evade them and block their attacks until they get tired of trying to kill you and leave you alone. This generally works out pretty well; just run in circles and block their punches, and make sure to keep an eye on your stamina and health, and you should be fine.
Obviously, option number four is my preferred method of dealing with these situations. It’s far less risky than running, won’t get you a horrifyingly huge bounty like killing them would, and you don’t die.
So, just a little while ago, I got caught stealing something, and this dude flipped out and started punching me. So of course I tried to wait it out until he gave up by running in circles and blocking his attacks.
But
did you know
when you block someone’s attacks in ESO, a small amount of damage is returned to them.
And, of course, I was keeping an eye on my own health bar and stamina bar. I was not paying attention to his health bar.
And he died.
He punched me so much that he died.
He’s dead. He’s lying in a pool of blood because he would not stop punching me and he literally fucking died from punching me so much. He fucking punched himself to death and now he’s fucking dead he literally punched me and then dropped dead.
And guess what
this still counts as murder.
I have been charged with murder because a dude attacked me and then punched me so much that he died.
#this is worse than the fucking nun incident
what was the nun incident
Okay so
I was just casually walking through town, and I saw another player running along, and their health bar was really low.
So, naturally, I healed them, nbd.
And then the words YOU ARE NOW NOTORIOUS AND WILL BE KILLED ON SIGHT BY THE LAW flashed across my screen
because it turns out that that player was running from the guards, and also, that casting healing spells on wanted criminals is punishable by death.
So of course I ran for it. The guards pursued, but I had a head start, and most of them were still chasing the player who I’d just healed.
I ran for the outlaw’s refuge. It wasn’t far; it was soon within sight, and the guards still chased me, firing arrows and spells, but escape was within my reach. I could see the entrance, right there. It was so close.
And then.
And then this fucking nun just appears out of nowhere and charges right into my field of view, punches my in the face, and I die.
And that’s the nun incident.
