      I’m an American, and I’ve never heard of this. I think it might mostly be a joke at the expense of the shithole officers of Uvalde.

          Here, it’s the opposite. The social democrats and their allies were in government for a long time and the second the more conservatives (still pretty left compared to the USA though) got power they proposed a fuck ton of laws including visitation zones where they can search people without suspect. That law actually goes into effect very soon.

            Exactly that. They use police to protect capital’s interests just like the other countries. So they need to expand police powers. Just look at Weimar Germany for historical examples.

              We’re talking about modern day social democrats and you bring up Weimar Germany. There’s a lot more recent examples of social democrats in power lol.

      My country had police officers in all schools for a month or so after the First Ever School Shooting In The Entire Country happened, but only because parents demanded it.

      This was only a bit ago actually.

      Well, you wouldn’t want to let all these kids play with their guns without an officer to watch over them, would you?

          If we’re not joking, I kind of think the liver would go first. Unless your mixing it to like a 4% ABV, then maybe the beetus might get ya first.

          Honestly there is a good chance you stress your liver out so much that the sugar and your food (bc let’s be honest, your probably not eating healthy either) gets turned into a shitload of triglycerides and you stroke out or have a heart attack from too long of hyperlipidemia.

            Some alkies go decades drinking way more than that every single day. Humans are surprisingly resilient. Inspirational, really

              Yeah, but I am just referencing average outcomes. It’s a bit of a selection bias, because you don’t see all the alcoholics in the ground and the liver doesn’t really “hurt” until like end stage liver failure. So alcoholics can seem relatively okay, until one day they are not.

              Oh, and an alcoholic is exceptionally prone to drunk driving. Something like high 80% of people who det a DUI is or will be an alcoholic. So an alcoholic is way more likely to kill themselves wrapped around a tree before their liver blows.
