… our ongoing series of F*ck the police.
U.S. police as an extension of slavery and white supremacy. The police love racist dudes who shoot unarmed black teens. The police ALSO hate Hispanic people as well as black people (warning: violence). F*ck the police right in the irony.
I don’t know that the first part of the article is correct (there are dangers to confronting the advisor), but the rest of the advice is SPOT ON. (Men: Don’t do this.)

1. F*ck the police.
2. APA says two spaces at the end of a sentence, which I think is bullshit. Everyone else is holding steadfast to one.
June 6, 2015 at 2:19 pm
I can’t stop using 2 spaces but when necessary I will find-and-replace for one space after I’m done writing something.

Two spaces FTW!
Police departments seem to have been doing much of their hiring from the “droogs from Clockwork Orange” pool. Maybe they could stop doing that?
June 6, 2015 at 2:19 pm
Maybe they could!
TWOOOOOO SPACES JOIN USSSS

I don’t think they can unless there is seriously leadership at the federal level and structural change throughout the entire system. The system is set up to allow this kind of abuse of power, particularly against under-represented minorities.

in some of the police forces – like the Ferguson one – so many were hired after being fired other places for racism or brutality, it seems like someone in HR was deliberately gathering them.

Terrifying

I can relate to Leigh, not in her specific wants, but in her annoyance in the expectation that she will eventually want what everybody wants. The nice thing is, if she changes her mind about any of it, she’ll have the money to pay for it.
June 6, 2015 at 2:20 pm
As one of us has decided to never have children… yeah. But money buys freedom!
June 6, 2015 at 4:28 pm
Leigh also talked about not wanting to early retire, not wanting to travel extensively, not wanting to buy a house, and basically not wanting to do all the things the PF sphere has been getting on people’s backs about recently. So not just having children! (And yet she still saves, and yes, if she changes her mind on any of those, she’ll have the money for it, in addition to whatever things she’s not even thinking about right now.)

I might like to own a house, were I in a different part of the country. In Paradise the only reason to own is so they don’t keep raising the rents up and up and up. I want to travel some but I also want to stay home a lot. I am semi-retired at the moment and I love it! :)
