Why are straight white people the only people who don't need a plot justification to exist?

Similar thing happened at my first job out of college. It was a year into COVID and we'd been WFH since the spring before this annual June meeting. They had just gotten done announcing that our productivity had exceeded targets, when they added two more announcements:

1. WFH was ending, and we'd all have to go back to an office that didn't have enough desks for everyone to be there all at once but that was okay because we could all just coordinate amongst ourselves as to who gets to sit where and when and when we had in person all-hands meetings some people could just sit on the floor and work.

2. Due to a lawsuit filed against an entirely different OU we shouldn't expect much in the way of bonuses this year.

We saw the stress the company was under between the lawsuit and the move, so over the next couple months we helped by cutting about a million dollars a year from their annual salary budget.

It doesn't make them rapists by proxy, but it does make them someone who believes the rapist they like should be the exception.

Condemn him? No. Judge him? Yeah, a little bit.

Turns out that being against rape in 99.9% of cases isn't good enough.

Me: Can we do something about the Nazis?

Them: Now, now, we can't make ideas illegal even if they're morally detestable. That would be quite a slippery slope. After all, imagine what it would be like if government had that power and someone who disagreed with you was in charge.

Me: Well that's a relief, I can feel comfortable knowing that my rights are protected even as a {any ideology left of Reagan}.

Them: cocks shotgun Don't push it...

What good does this really do south africa though? Id more expect his loyalty to be to himself and his own profit than any country regardless of where he's native.

Sounds like they used public money to pay the startup costs of a private security firm, and in exchange for that they write a bunch of bogus tickets so the town makes money

Boomers: Why don't you kids go outside and play. When I was your age we played in the dirt for hours at a time.

Also boomers:

Well here's one civil right the cops can't easily ignore. If an undercover buys a donut is that covered by qualified immunity?

well this is causing me to learn things about myself.

literally every day. I don't want to sequester myself in my room to play on my PC, and I don't want to monopolize the living room TV and have a big desktop tower looking ugly in the entertainment center, so the deck essentially gave me PC gaming back. I debated whether to buy it for months and months, and I shouldn't have. My goal was nothing more than to be able to play PC games and to unlock emulation on a small screen with real controllers. I just finished playthroughs of metal gear solid 2 and fallout new vegas, and I'm starting red dead redemption 2 today (if the damn download ever finishes). The only thing I'd caution a new purchaser about is springing for the big hard drive and/or being willing to install an aftermarket one. SD cards seems like a reasonable sol'n but reports are coming in that the deck is hard on them because it does a lot of writing to the card, and that an SSD is a worthwhile investment.
