It really goes without saying, but those shitty human beings above get zero respect; a uniform changes nothing.
I like the police force here in New Zealand and I think that’s maybe because; A) kiwi’s are pretty chillax; B) one of my cousins is a cop; and C) they don’t carry lethal weapons, which was a raised issue I overheard on the radio a few days ago; John Key is considering updating foreign policy laws, or some excuse like that.
…Holy corruption!!! Did you know police can just take your stuff if they suspect it’s involved in a crime? They can! It’s a shady process called “civil asset forfeiture,” and it would make for a weird episode of Law and Order.
I got a remote control car for Christmas once… Does anybody care? Nope.
The fact that this disappears is because of your blind spot, and as you can see, you (we) have a pretty big one, at least as big as the spot in the diagram. The blind spot is the area on the retina without receptors that respond to light. Therefore an image that falls on this region will NOT be seen. The spot disappears because it falls on the optic nerve head; the hole in the photoreceptor sheet.
What’s particularly interesting though is that you don’t SEE it. When the spot disappears you still don’t SEE a hole. What you see instead is a continuous white (invisible) field; something the brain is making up since the eye isn’t actually telling the brain anything at all about that particular part of the picture. Mind = Blown!

‘Hear ye, Hear ye!’ Comics are awesome, people!!! VICE has a neat article on how the vocabulary used by comic book writers has been adopted by pretty much every facet of mainstream culture — You probably already know what most of these terms mean:
G L O S S A R Y O F T E R M S :
Done-in-one: n. A single-issue story. / Anthology: n. A collection of stories by a variety of creative teams. / Miniseries: n. A comics title with a definitive endpoint, usually three to six issues. / Crossover: n. A storyline that goes across multiple titles. Usually, these days, a crossover has its own title (an “event book”) as well. The first comic book crossover was 1940’s Marvel Mystery Comics #8. The two most popular features, Human Torch and Submariner, fought each other. From that moment on, [crossovers] became standard operating procedure. / Event: n. [A crossover] that’s happening to the entire universe, the entire line, simultaneously. Almost all the titles participate in that. / Tie-in: n. The individual issue or issues of an [ongoing] title that link into a specific event (unique to events as opposed to crossovers). / Reboot: n. When you take a pre-existing franchise [or fictional universe] and you wipe everything that happened clean and you start from scratch [usually with the same characters]. Most reboots are also a relaunch. e.g., Casino Royale [is a reboot of the James Bond franchise.] / Origin Story: n. [The story in which we see] where a character came from. (Note: Many origins are also first appearances. In Spider-Man’s first appearance, [Amazing Fantasy #15], you meet Peter Parker, he gets bitten by a radioactive spider, and Uncle Ben gets shot.)
That’s right; you can thank comic books this time for influencing western language and not Shakespeare! That show off. Speaking of vocabulary; Here are some onomatopoeia collages by Florida artist, Amy Watkins — signature comic sound effects for that added graphic punch:
“I love my comics too much to keep them in dusty long boxes in the closet. After I’ve read the stories and pored over the pictures, I want to enjoy my comics again, as a medium for new art. I sell original, handmade pieces — no prints here — constructed out of the amazing art of old comic books.” ~ Amy Watkins of PowerUpCollage
Hahaha, stepped down. I eye fucked two harassers into submission on the train once, and as happy as I was, it wasn’t nearly as funny as this:
This mysterious video shows a thug harass a woman on a German train. When he savagely kicks her, a fellow passenger stands up to him and in one quick movement, immediately diffuses the situation. Curious to know what the most powerful, nonviolent weapon is?
It’s pants on the ground. I MEAN; shame. It’s shame…But really its pants on the ground, pants on the ground, looking like a fool with your pants on the ground! GET IT UP! HEY!
The music and video are OK; I just really like these images:
Whoa. Gambino is killin’ it atm. The ending to this video caught me off guard for sure, so watch it until the end to see how the story unravels in paradise:
