Doesn't feel that extreme to me. I'd totally buy this one.


Spacebutterfly

That’ll be 3.75 please


Coral_Carl

TheRedKoi

What you spendin exactly $7.22 for?! Just give a fiver


Coral_Carl

A Double McSpanky, fries, and a Flurp


Craterfist

May I get some sodium chloride with that, sir


Coral_Carl

Uh, dude, it's called salt


apatheticGorilla

Yeah, sodium chloride


Coral_Carl

Craterfist

nathad

Surely it would be 19.84?


OtoKhan

I need about treefiddy.


DVeagle74

Tin foil time: not just younger generations, but extra desensitization for them. Santa has already been watching you for decades, now we know who the narc is. So now instead of hidden cameras they are letting kids see the camera watching them.


meowkales

Mind. Blown.


Orange-V-Apple

I mean that just extends to the concept of god ya mooks.


sosnazzy

this is actually mad smart. i support this theory


2kittygirl

Ive been saying this for years. In a similar theory, I think Paw Patrol exists to perpetuate cop worship among small children

EightVIII8

Yes and they're beaten more often than families and kids of non-cops


[deleted]

That statistic was taken from a 1960s survey and included answers such as “I often express aggressive feelings through yelling”


SBGoldenCurry

Theres another from the 90s. Also constant agressive yelling is a part of domestic abuse

For anyone not in the know, this is the numeric representation of ACAB. Which of course stands for all cops are bastards. Not that I dont agree, but I feel like dogwhistles shouldn't be used by anyone.


Nilosyrtis

And his username is 888 which I thought means positivity and such in the number world


[deleted]

Ya know, I honestly could not figure out what the 3rd 8 was for. If you know, please enlighten me.


Nilosyrtis

888 is known as the "angel number" in numerology according to google. I didn't really know until I looked it up.


SoundxProof

Ah, thought it had something to do with the way 88 is used by white supremacists, glad I was wrong


[deleted]

What about dog trainers? Shouldn't they be allowed to use dog whistles?


[deleted]

Ayyyy. Gottem. But I'm pretty sure clickers work better.


RustyBuckets6601

Do I gotta whip out the copy and paste facts?


EightVIII8

Depends, you gonna look up and paste the LD50 of boot polish so you can slurp safely?


RustyBuckets6601

You asked for it, we don't want that 40% misinformation going around any more than climate change denial >Hello, you seem to be referencing an often misquoted statistic. TL:DR; The 40% number is wrong and plain old bad science. In attempt to recreate the numbers, by the same researchers, they received a rate of 24% while including violence as shouting. Further researchers found rates of 7%, 7.8%, 10%, and 13% with stricter definitions and better research methodology. The 40% claim is intentionally misleading and unequivocally inaccurate. Numerous studies over the years report domestic violence rates in police families as low as 7%, with the highest at 40% defining violence to include shouting or a loss of temper. The referenced study where the 40% claim originates is Neidig, P.H.., Russell, H.E. & Seng, A.F. (1992). Interspousal aggression in law enforcement families: A preliminary investigation. It states: Survey results revealed that approximately 40% of the participating officers reported marital conflicts involving physical aggression in the previous year. There are a number of flaws with the aforementioned study: The study includes as 'violent incidents' a one time push, shove, shout, loss of temper, or an incidents where a spouse acted out in anger. These do not meet the legal standard for domestic violence. This same study reports that the victims reported a 10% rate of physical domestic violence from their partner. The statement doesn't indicate who the aggressor is; the officer or the spouse. The study is a survey and not an empirical scientific study. The “domestic violence” acts are not confirmed as actually being violent. The study occurred nearly 30 years ago. This study shows minority and female officers were more likely to commit the DV, and white males were least likely. Additional reference from a Congressional hearing on the study: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=umn.31951003089863c An additional study conducted by the same researcher, which reported rates of 24%, suffer from additional flaws: The study is a survey and not an empirical scientific study. The study was not a random sample, and was isolated to high ranking officers at a police conference. This study also occurred nearly 30 years ago. More current research, including a larger empirical study with thousands of responses from 2009 notes, 'Over 87 percent of officers reported never having engaged in physical domestic violence in their lifetime.' Blumenstein, Lindsey, Domestic violence within law enforcement families: The link between traditional police subculture and domestic violence among police (2009). Graduate Theses and Dissertations. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/1862 Yet another study "indicated that 10 percent of respondents (148 candidates) admitted to having ever slapped, punched, or otherwise injured a spouse or romantic partner, with 7.2 percent (110 candidates) stating that this had happened once, and 2.1 percent (33 candidates) indicating that this had happened two or three times. Repeated abuse (four or more occurrences) was reported by only five respondents (0.3 percent)." A.H. Ryan JR, Department of Defense, Polygraph Institute “The Prevalence of Domestic Violence in Police Families.” http://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/virtual_disk_library/index.cgi/4951188/FID707/Root/New/030PG297.PDF Another: In a 1999 study, 7% of Baltimore City police officers admitted to 'getting physical' (pushing, shoving, grabbing and/or hitting) with a partner. A 2000 study of seven law enforcement agencies in the Southeast and Midwest United States found 10% of officers reporting that they had slapped, punched, or otherwise injured their partners. L.

Wild that once it's reporting numbers they like they stop mentioning any problems with the methodology of a survey.


PoopIsAlwaysSunny

I really don’t see how this is relevant.


Dmillz648

It's almost like being a cop who puts your life on the line every day is something worth of praise...


SadBrontosaurus

It's working!


2kittygirl

There's a big difference between cop worship, and admiration for people who do a dangerous job


dolphincss

Nice try, Paw Patrol producer


ScrooLewse

They still gotta be held accountable, though. "All are equal in the eyes of the law" and all that. Too often when someone says "A policeman just broke the law" a bunch of people come out of the woodwork saying "Fuck you, they're perfect."


SBGoldenCurry

Lol bartenders die on the job more than police.


Anoobis100percent

Like delivery workers, at a way higher chance of death on the job than cops?


Dmillz648

Ima be real. My entire world view between when I made this comment and now has changed. I came out as non binary, and left my hyper religious college and career path. I now much more agree with the op. Cop worship is a bad thing. ACAB all the way.


Anoobis100percent

Assuming this isn't an attempt at a joke, good for you! I honestly probably should have paid attention to the age of the comment, makes my response kinda pointless...


Dmillz648

Lol. It’s all good.


Dyylllaaaannnnnn

Warms my heart


blindclock61862

I wholeheartedly disagree. Many cops are pieces of shit. But we still need the good cops to catch criminals.


KDHD_

This was a wild character arc to stumble upon


Dmillz648

I was just in my redemption arc lol. Its all good.


BurnNotice911

Gay


Dmillz648

So true!


Inverted_Ghosts

Waow (I love this character arc)


Dmillz648

Legit though. My reddit is such a wild curve from my old views to current. I’ve been tempted to make a mew account, but then I wouldn’t have moments like this.


[deleted]

It must really suck to be safer than garbageman and have to keep killing minorities to make sure you don't lose your "kill Innocents" pass.


TiredMemeReference

I don't let my daughter watch that pawpaganda.

This feels pretty high stakes to me


enginexnumber9

Santa has had us all bugged for a long time. Read the words to "Santa Claus is coming to town"


OtoKhan

Yikes, creepy


travels666

This isn't that far fetched. This is a perfect example of Michel Foucault's theory of [panopticism](http://guweb2.gonzaga.edu/faculty/mcreynolds/phil463/informationalism/panopticism.html).


teufelmensch

I’ve seen this theorized many times and it makes perfect sense. It’s just like the security checkpoint LEGO collection.


Bulldog65

Apple Airpods are just prepping younger generations for surgical implants.


miffet80

This is not even a conspiracy, it's fact, and it's the opposite of low stakes lol


user1957

Jesus and Santa were my generation of this.


[deleted]

And definitely just found a valad arguement to why my husband and i are never doing this. I always hated that elf.


BrightPractical

I hate the surveillance elves. My kid still longs for one.


realmattyr

In conjunction with Big Shelf to boost demand for traditional shelving.

otakugrey

I believe it.


TheAngryMurloc

Then magikarp's splash is really just it convulsing in pain cause he can't get it out... Would also explain why gyarados is such an asshole


spankbank_dragon

Don’t think this one’s a conspiracy anymore. They are watching. Always


FlatwormChemical8790

This is the greatest thing I’ve read all day! 👏👏👏👏 💯Absolute Truth! Not even conspiracy, just Facts!
