I thought that flying a plane was way safer than driving a car
It is, for the passengers. Statistically, your chance of dying in a plane crash is extremely low, because of how many people fly each year. However, the number of passengers is far, far, far higher than the number of pilots, and every plane that crashes has a pilot, who usually dies.
I got pulled over in florida and paid my ticket and all then they tried to charge me for the ticket again! rane why you doin shabby police work fix this right now
a buddy of mine, his dad's RCMP, and he basically had to sit there for hours a day, going through and cataloging child porn that they had confiscated from arrests
to try to possibly identify victims, look for background details that might give them places and times, etc. etc.
apparently, they do catch some folks this way so it's an effort worth doing
but it rots a man's soul
i was talking to him the one time about it and he was telling me how, for the most part, large swaths of large collections are a lot of the same material that's been circulating since the 90's. child porn swappers have like, "classics" that they all end up acquiring.
what's really heartbreaking is when he starts to come across the same victims in multiple image sets taken at different times over like, years
like you can see the kids in it visibly getting older, which means this stuff was continuing to be done to them for years
he was doing that for like, a couple months off and on and then he submitted himself for psych eval and had to be taken off the whole unit because basically he was becoming suicidal and he'd like
see some dad hugging his little girl at the mall, and he'd want to shoot the guy

that's pretty rough
I used to volunteer in a kitchen that provided for both shelters the homeless and abused women and their children
I started to get worried when the stories I'd hear wouldn't phase me anymore
I couldn't really volunteer there anymore

stop being silly geese about the definition of anarchy and you all need to ask more questions when people make statistical statements

apparently all these pilots died because they were moonlighting as garbage collectors
i used to be really good at volunteering at places like homeless shelters because for years i was emotionally busted and basically lacked almost any empathy for other human beings
yet, i found volunteering fulfilling because it made me feel better about myself, i could put my fists on my hips and be like "i'm not an irredeemable son of a bitch, no sir! i volunteer at a family lodge that the hospital runs! i help and comfort people!"
so, other people i knew there would like, emotionally burn out after a month or two and i'd keep on trucking no matter what horrible stories i'd hear because i didn't really let any of it emotionally register
now, i am a far healthier human being, psychologically
the downside of which is i actually get upset by these things now on a level i didn't before
pro/con, i guess

Too bad for the victims, I suppose. I mean, it's important to be psychologically healthy, so I don't blame you or anything, but it kind of sucks for them that they essentially suck the life force out of people with their tragedy.
I went through a related phase in my teens. I was really morbid and could deal with messed up shit, and I started getting really into forensic science. I don't mean like I watched CSI and liked it; I mean I watched those real forensics-files shows and I was in serious study to become a forensic scientist. Then I heard about some police who went into a house and found some woman's murdered children in the washing machine, and imagined myself being the investigator called to the scene.
I immediately quit studying forensic science and shifted gears.
pro: i am capable of forming meaningful relationships with others and exhibiting instinctive empathy for my fellow man
con: i got a lot more accomplished when i didn't give a fuck about people, including somethings that were ultimately helpful to others
pro: i actually am able to look at most of my life and regret the amoral scumfuck i used to be and not feel that things were better and easier back then
con: PTSD
soooooo

monday i go visit my neurologist for the first time in a year
he's going to check my brain to see what damage, if any, is beginning to heal and what stuff looks like its permanent and if there's been any significant changes
also possibly figure out why i keep having seizures and losing the ability to speak and read randomly

I've rode in the truck with him, it looked safe as hell
uh no
sorry nathan krabapple i have failed you
yes
I assumed that everyone would at least recognize it as pacino
and serpico has a distinct look to him
tacos
*plays runescape*
heh hhe
wh...
what
he is the reason internal affairs exists
he ratted out dirty cops in new york in the 60's or 70's, I forget the years
and spark congressional hearings and pretty much the creation of IAB in most cities
I cannot stop and I hate myself

and then he starred in The Godfather which led to him getting a role in the movie about his life
I was hoping to go the rest of my life without hearing this in my head.
You have killed that dream. Killed it dead.
you will get acquainted with IAB even if you are squeaky clean
i know
buncha jerks
getting in the way of REAL POLICEWORK
need to bust heads to clean the streets man
Steam
You will clean the streets of that blue magic.
He got shot in the head while busting some drug dealers, and his fellow cops left him to rot. The only reason he lived was that a neighbor called 911.
He basically got told to fuck the hell off after that by the NYPD.
You can't clean the streets of blue magic.
Blue magic is the streets.
i got pulled over then i straight up argued with the cop about how he was wrong
probably not the best decision but I DIDN'T DO THAT SHIT
but then we chatted and talked about hiring practices and the benefits of his department for like 30 minutes and i got a warning
dudes in federal anti-child-porn units
those dudes have shitty jobs
