Something going right would be a grassroots effort to create a culture of intolerance of such vermin and of those who defend and excuse them.

NYC is taking the lead and cracking down.
Vermin,
This will only increase as was the case with the nasty little trend of licking food in shops then replacing it. As always the perpetrator is a protected class. His previous history of targeting Jews, and getting away with it, is also par for the course.
p.s. I see I’m Cincinnatus again. No idea how that happened.
Never thought of Cicero as an hysterical monomaniac.
Meanwhile, what could possibly go wrong?
“Fuck transphobes.“
Not only does this endanger the health of the people who buy the food, it raises costs for everyone. Food deserts exist because vermin increase the costs of doing business.
Variation on a theme.
One for the real-or-parody? pile.
That punk deserved to get shot. One less feral biped running loose.
One for the real-or-parody? pile.
She is a well known parodist, but I have no doubts someone has thought of it if not published it. Yet.
Meanwhile in a parking lot…
The shopping trolley test is a useful one.
Also, the words built like a brick shithouse came to mind.
That punk deserved to get shot.
True, but one would have to have something to shoot with, and over in the UK I suspect that the reasons this dolt hasn’t been flattened is that he picks on people he knows won’t fight back who won’t fight back fearing he may be a cutlery involved youth, and that if someone did fight back even against a cutlery involved youth, the result would be not unlike this.
Yes. I have walked away from certain social groups when, among other things, they invented “reasons” to not return the shopping carts to the corrals. When people proudly tell you how they will behave badly towards strangers, you know you cannot trust them to deal justly with you, and you should avoid such dregs anyway.
The shopping cart thing… I can go several ways on that. Some stores, like Publix in Florida, do not have convenient number/located return bins and I generally don’t park close to one. However unless there are no other cars around I at least place the cart with the front wheels over the curb of the more convenient vegetation islands or wtf they are called. Or within the couple of can’t-park-here-anyway spaces. I notice I am rather unusual in even making the effort as about half the people just leave the carts wherever. In Georgia the Ingels stores just have huge lots with no trees/islands in them but they do have much/many more convenient bins to return them to so we always put them in the bins.
OTOH, if I am heading into the store and I see a loose one on my way in, whether I will need one or not, I return it all the way to the store. My observation is that I’m a bit unusual in that way as well. I even had someone look at me funny as if ??? Though I do know a lot of idiots, usually pro-union types, who actually believe that doing such a thing “takes away someone’s job”.
True, although the people I was criticizing were talking about stores which do have shopping cart corrals.
Me, too.
The only reason not to return a cart at Publix is if the cart return is full of these miserable fargin’ non-stackable kiddie carts.
Another feral creature, playing the “stolen luggage” prank on an innocent traveler.
Just normal public transport behavior.
Just normal, off topic or not, perhaps someone here can help me out. We keep getting pop-up ads for these products. Does anyone know if they are good quality products and if so, WTF they are used for? TBH, my wife keeps asking and I’m afraid to guess. OK, not “honest” honest…but kinda.
This story is from back in January. I see a report on Louder With Crowder stating that the white guy, the victim, was arrested and the black guy, the person who initiated the confrontation, is pressing charges against him. I don’t see an update on this story, just a lot of sound and fury. Anyone know anything else? Like who the real victim is and if he’s ok?
Culture is simply denied by the Woke. White culture (except for some lower class elements) teaches kids that they can succeed and gives them the tools to do so. The heroes kids have are models for them to emulate.
Gangster culture teaches that you cannot succeed. That whites have all the power and money. That cops are bad. Kids have tough guys as role models. They learn terms like “baby daddy” and how to get a gun, how to deal drugs, how to get welfare, how to fight, that you might die tomorrow so spend your money today. It is a culture with no model of success and no tools to get there. Kids see that there is no security, no dads, and that people just hang out and crash at random people’s homes all the time. It is a trap.
A brief respite.
Sorry, no. This is the first I saw of it.
On a lighter note, here is a tasteless joke for tech nerds.
Precision German engineering
Is this joke excessively cruel?
Only to the French.
We are presented with a conundrum.
The things you learn, LGB people didn’t exist until 2019.
LGB people didn’t exist until 2019.
So the whole AIDS thing in the 80s never happened? But maybe they weren’t the alpabet soup brigade then. But by the time the US Supreme Court “gay marriage” thing went down, they absolutely were the alphabet soup. The T’s would never have the power they do now if they hadn’t latched on to the LBGs.
LOOK AT ME.
LOOK AT ME.
LOOK AT ME.
WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME?
We are presented with a conundrum.
The conundrum being “Where did the link go?”
Real or parody?
Has to be a parody – watch her eyes, they don’t flick off sideways. And her hands don’t wave.
And this YouTube “prankster” was shot dead back in 2021 when he and a friend pretended to rob people while brandishing butcher knives. His grandma said he was a nice boy, they always say “he was a good boy!” Only a sociopath/sadist would do such “pranks”.
Here I am, working all hours, even on a Sunday.
People are re-posting that Trigglypuff video, possible not a coincidence.
The conundrum being “Where did the link go?”
Ah, the Fantastic Craptastic Link-O-Matic 9000™ strikes again.
The conundrum, Take 2.
Meanwhile, Japan enjoys diversity.
Got what they asked for. But back to this airport luggage thing, I’m doing a lot of digging and not finding much on this. I’ve also been suckered in to clicking a link that said the “prankster” had been arrested but my security sw stopped me. This potentially affects a lot of people and it is apparently not an isolated thing. There are other “pranksters” doing this at other airports. I haven’t flown anywhere since 2018 nor do I plan to. Do airports and airlines warn people about this sort of thing? Are travelers generally aware of it?
And this bleeds somewhat into the pregnant nurse and the bike “stealing” incident. I’m really, really tired of watching people, especially white people, bending over backwards using every excuse and even inventing facts not in evidence to try to excuse or justify such absurdities. I even saw one tweet where a skeptical…”skeptical” white woman asked the bloody obvious question as to why anyone would think a six months pregnant woman would even bother to try to steal a $10 rental bike. Yet even that woman let herself be shamed into accepting much more absurd possibilities. WTF is wrong with people and why is there so little discussion even on conservative sites about these absurdities?
Employers are expected to fail to notice the red flags of facial mutilations and signs of drug use. Some of my DEI espousing acquaintances pretend that those red flags are signs of wonderfulness that must be celebrated.
It would be interesting to have a translation.
Precisely the argument, well in the context of the Trolley Problem, I had with the well known(?) philosopher Jeremy Stangroom and his sycophants on his blog about a dozen or more years ago. I was a bad, bad, awful no goodnik fascist awful nasty jerk for even considering what face tattoos has to do with anything.
If Japan has become willing to put up with this crap, we’re all f****d.
If that video is any indication, Japan is remains unwilling to put up with it.
Ladies and gentlemen, please update your flag files.
“Suck it.”
“Suck it.”
As all the ladies say…

I’m sure Megan Rapinoe would have absolutely no problem playing against blokes like Mr tree-trunk legs.
Mind you her USWNT did get owned by an under 15s boys team so maybe not.
Japanese enjoys diversity.
Judging by the attire of the lady who strolls by towards the end I think it’s fair to assume the young enrichers aren’t hanging around that particular area because they want to catch a bus.
Possibly a train. 😐
Note also the liquor bottles sitting on the concrete ledge behind them.
And finally note how clean the area is, in spite of its questionable characteristics.
