I don't care

keep trying to what?

> Where will you be kicking all of the poor people to under your awesome plan? Acting like that isn't already happening at Temple is insanely naieve.

Obviously, to mayfair

coming up with solutions = moving the goalpost.

Look, here's how penn did it, they used thier massive endowment to build an entirely new sub city around Penn called "university city' and removed all the poor black people. It's not a secret.

that is to say, they both have some off campus patrolling right? There's clearly no way they could extend it with their copious funding right?

You say that, but Penn for example has a much larger patrol zone than just the campus. Same thing, their own Police department. Their patrol zone goes from the river to like 43rd.

I'd literally rather just have parking like under 95 in south philly

like you said most of their job is busting kids for underage drinking, while we have serious crimes happening on campus.

I have issues with both of them. Temple police thought it was better to spend time arresting me for drinking underage rather than preventing (happened the same week) that professor getting the shit beat out of them in their office by some rando off the street.

yes, when the nationalist mayoral elect had the streets of girard shouting 'build that wall' and 'send them back to spring garden!'

ah yes, because they immediately enter another jurisdiction it's not like they left town and are in the wild west.

they could buy up more property around the school and put up a giant fence like girard college

And maybe I'm feeling emotional re-reading David Bermans (RIP) last AMA but there's something so lacking in our society around these positive stories. Maybe Hallmark, or Madea by Tyler Perry comes the closest to cutting it.

Two books come to mind, the first, Hemmingway - in a Farewell To Arms, you'd almost forget the war in the way he describes the snow settling over his apartments in northern italy where he was stationed as an ambulance driver in the first world war, his phrases stick with me but particularly "it was very fine". If you ever hear me say "it was fine" I mean that, it was refined, a very fine thing indeed it was.

The second - The Hedge Knight, has this same similar air and quality, I think George RR Martin shows incredible deftness trying to write what I think is a great fairy tale. knights, tournaments, maidens and young squires cantering about.

A few nights ago my wife was having trouble sleeping and so I told her the story, about our dog. Our dog who we picked up from the pound. Of course I anthropomorphized my pup's life, but from her eyes, if she were human is a great and soaring success. From being abandoned, to finding a home, and making her place in it, being a teenager and then having that rock solid owners who she bonded with so tightly. The story wrapped up well after my wife was asleep, but it was too good to stop talking.

Anyway, maybe life is worth the little lie, or to tell the tall tale, or generally make stories that are better. I'd prefer to hear a story about George Bailey than Heisenberg. Our schadenfreude certainly completes the more vicious and visceral side of humanity but there's a absolute dearth of stories that are full of courage, hope and happy endings.

a passenger outburst of joy, having received a call from their son, that they were now were a proud grandfather. The whole subway clapped, since the newly made grandpa was using speaker. Everyone sang Auld Lang Syne and clapped as the train, decorated for the holidays pulled up and blared it's horn, merrily to the tune of "We wish you a merry christmas" and Santa claus himself was the conductor. Upon arriving at the hospital in a timely manner, after taking the subway, the gentleman noted a beautiful soft snow coming down. What wonderful birthday, Christmas, for his newly born grandson. It was an awfully apt name, as his son was to be named Jesus, seeing as he was himself a first generation american immigrant from Mexico, having built a wonderful life for himself and his family. Many years later he would tell his grandson of the story, who never quite believed his Abuelito, but it's a tale as true the day is long. Everyone clapped

no I don't know.

Mandatory 4000 glasses of white wine?

Mandatory 4000 useless pricks in patronage jobs?

Mandatory $4000 in yearly wage tax to pay for said pricks?

Mandatory 4000 miles of road unrepaired?

Mandatory 4000 lines of gas pipe ready to explode?

T Barr is just a shithole bar that consistently causes trouble.

mandatory 4,000 hour training for officers?

Happened to me last week! Rainy, hard to see, turning left into a parking lot. I actually... turned onto the sidewalk!!! I couldn't see shit, but there was a widening of the road like you would expect for a turn into the parking lot. No markers. I was about 50 feet early, and a curb that was like 2-3 inches.

Drove right over the damn thing without realizing because it was just about the same as a bad parking lot entrance, until I hit grass

fucking A

Well sure, that's why police stops for traffic are retarded and our structure around it sucks.

It's just a phishing exercise draped around safety. I am for safety, not for phishing.

It's a huge dragnet

It causes escalations because, the police can arrest you for basically any pull over infraction, if they like.

The solution is to fix the systemic problem - that 99% of police interactions are from traffic stops, and that it really shouldn't be the case.

Ideas to fix it? Not sure

No the brightness war is ridiculous. I made a left turn onto a road and literally almost ran into a low 2 inch divider thing. Couldn't see it over all the bright ass lights everywhere

Yes but usually it's the sound of raucous shit annihilating the thunderbowl in a blitzkrieg of noise

I don't have any reservations about walking down Walnut, however, I always keep my head on a constant swivel. So clearly my brain doesn't think it's a zero risk situation. if I hear a weird noise in my parents bathroom taking a poop, I assume it's the boiler or the cat jumping around, if I hear gunshots, it's probably the neighbor shooting in their backyard. Could it be an intruder? maybe, guess I'll find out after I wipe.

RIP
