Anyone else deeply amused by revisiting this scene and realizing this is LTC making CXS apologize for being a bad friend to HIM specifically. Bro has fun with murder and all but he clearly talks with his barbies. He makes the guy say this, as if this was an actual conversation, as if this wasn't saying more about himself and his nasty humor twisting his inner desires, than any offense CXS supposedly committed. He's funny to me

As fearmongers depict the southern border as a region made lawless by invading hordes, Police Chief Victor Rodriguez of McAllen, Texas, has presided over a 12th straight year of crime reduction.
“We’re working on the 13th,” he told The Daily Beast on Friday.
In fact, crime in his border city of 145,000 is at the lowest level going back to 1985 when stats began to be accurately recorded.
“And the only reason it’s only 37 years is that’s what's on the books,” he said.
With Mexico only 11 miles away, McAllen is visited by a steady stream of politicians who come to inspect the border, and Rodriguez has perpetual difficulty dispelling the presumptions they bring with them.
“The reality and how the world is seeing us are two different things,” he said.
As of this month, McAllen’s violent crime rate is 180.2 per 100,000 people, less than a tenth that of the cities with the nation’s highest rate, St. Louis (2,082), Detroit (2,057), and Baltimore (2,027).
The violent crime rate in the other border cities is not as low as McAllen’s but still below what most people would likely expect. The Texas cities of McAllen, Brownsville, Laredo, Eagle Pass and El Paso, combined with Yuma in Arizona, Sunland Park in New Mexico, and San Diego in California, have a violent crime rate of 340.2. That is well below the national average of 388.5.
The numbers all along the border are partly explained by the wild west simply being not so wild, especially with the presence of Customs and Border Patrol and other law enforcement agencies. McAllen’s crime rate of less than half the national average can also be attributed to the application of a kind of unplugged version CompStat—the computer-based strategy of rapid deployment and relentless follow-up that triggered New York’s dramatic decline in violent crime during the 1990s.
“CompStat McAl-style,” Rodriguez said.
“We look at data points every morning,” he added.
With a ratio of two officers per 1,000 residents, he is able to quickly deploy his cops where they are needed. Since the approach reduces crime, that cuts the number of cases the investigators have, which gives them more time to work on each one, which further reduces crime.
In New York, during what is called “the bad old days,” a squad specializing in multiple perpetrator robberies in the subway was able to reduce them from 1,200 a year to 12. Rodriguez was able to achieve a comparable result with cops who specialize in auto thefts. Some 2,100 cars were stolen a year in McAllen in the 1990s. The number in the last few years has dropped to around 50.
Such successes reassure McAllen’s majority of honest working people, which the chief credits as the major factor in reducing homicides and other forms of mayhem.
“We have a good community, we have a peaceful community,” Rodriguez said. “We have a law abiding community, and that translates to less what we call violent crimes.”
Meanwhile, a host of politicians continue to foster the illusion that McAllen is at the epicenter of chaos. Rodriguez stands ready to enlighten anyone who is interested in the reality.
“We’re going great,” he said. “We could be doing maybe greater, I think, if we didn't have to overcome the perception. It is something we contend with on a regular basis.”
This law-abiding border town is a continuing example that the whole country could turn to as crime threatens to spike out of control and the social fabric seems to be unraveling.
“We keep plugging away,” Rodriguez said. “It's not like we woke up yesterday and said, ‘Okay, we gotta do better now.’ We've been at this now for going on 13 years, trying to make sure that our community is not what the rest of the world thinks it is.”

[CRIME] Varren Puppy Mill Reduced to Ash
by Kolina Marsevus, Gevannis Gazette [Uanassis, PZITAK] A facility specializing in the breeding of exotic varren breeds has been destroyed, its management murdered, and its breed stock liquidated by unknown persons. No entity has yet claimed responsibility for the incident, though evidence left at the scene have led investigators to consider animal welfare as a potential motivating force. “It wasn’t exactly subtle,” said Arava Masclani, a lead investigator for the incident, when asked for comment. “Arsonists don’t typically cover a single computer terminal in fireproof material and label it as evidence before destroying everything around it.” Kassamer Kennels has been a decades-long source of controversy in the Uanassis community. The facility has been involved in the development of specialized varren strains through selective breeding since opening its doors 147 years ago, and is credited as instrumental in the development of both Maned Klarens- and Spotted Seber bloodlines primarily used as show breeds in urban Republic colonies. Kassamer has, however, been accused of engaging in disfiguring “brute-force” gene therapy to create new varren breeds, and Tuchanka-based geneticists have long claimed that the facilities have engaged in “inbreeding that should make any Thessian panic.” “Some of these varren can barely hold their heads up,” said Raik Vanor, a particularly outspoken critic of the facility. “Stubby limbs, collapsed snouts, underdeveloped spines…you’d think this was an ardat-yakshi research program, the way they’re bred.” These claims have, however, regularly been dismissed by Kassamer representatives. “Kassamer proudly maintains a decades-long ‘Excellent’ rating streak from the Kennel Club of the Republics, and are proud to invite real geneticists to inspect our facilities,” said founding member Urasi Kassamer in a direct-response video to Ms. Vanor a year before yesterday’s attack. “Qualified scientists shall always find our facilities immaculate, our breeders humane, and our product to be among the healthiest, most robust breeding stock in the entire galaxy.” Urasi Kassamer, 471, was one of the victims of yesterday’s attack. Surviving relatives of the Kassamer family have offered a reward for any information regarding the destruction of the eponymous facility. For more information, please consult this link.

you know these "I can open the microwave just one second before it beeps" posts
there's a fucking guy at work
who always puts his fucking food to heat for 5 minutes even tho 2 minutes is already more than enough
but then
he opens the microwave 20 seconds before it beeps
except you can't reset the timer
so every fucking time you're waiting in line after him not only do you have to wait 5 fucking minutes, you then have to let your food heat 20 seconds before the microwave beeps and you can set the timer again
I want him dead so bad

my new fav thing to do is call any of the main characters from that new cod game military recruiters. i have no desire to learn their names or anything about them and the fact that people are actually thirsting after some of the most calculatingly bland “edgy” war criminals created to lionize the military industrial complex and recruit teens and young adults is a chilling sign that mass-scale propaganda that you have to pay sixty bucks for to make the military cool and hip is working
