A terrible smelly person
The common folk are simple billionaires. The elites are baristas with blue hair and gender.
I like how conservatives have their own form of Maoist standard english
One reason it’s so good is it doesn’t rely on twists like other mystery type stories. You always see the crime happening in the first few minutes with full confirmation on who did it. So the audience has all the information already, you’re watching Columbo put it together and trap the criminal. So you’re not figuring out the mystery alongside Columbo, rather, it’s like he’s breaking down the whole story for you. It’s really formulaic, but it’s usually fun and varied.
He’s also just not a normal cop. He’s a weird small man who’s annoying and talks about eating chili. He’s usually only shown solving crimes committed by completely vile smug assholes. My favorite episode is the one where Leonard Nimoy plays a surgeon who wants to steal his colleague’s research out of a lust for fame. So Doctor Nimoy comes up with a plan to purposefully botch his colleague’s heart surgery, but a nurse finds evidence of the plan, so Doctor Nimoy kills her with a tire iron and makes it look like a random heroin addict killed her. I love this episode because multiple times Columbo drops the dopey goofy detective thing and lapses into anger. He tells the surgeon just how despicable the whole thing is. I guess that’s the good thing about Columbo, is that he has the outer vibe of an everyman. He’s just some gremlin man from New York who talks funny and has an invisible wife. But at his core he has a sense of justice and what he despises most are abuses of power.
He’s not a real cop is what’s good about it. He’s a heroic character who doesn’t have a real life analogue, so he’s a cop out of writing convenience. He’s more like a whimsical spirit of justice than an LAPD pig.
That’s the same way a lot of words were developed though. Like the word “fence” to mean someone who buys stolen goods came about due to thieves’ cant, a bunch of words used by thieves and beggars to confuse medieval cops. I think it’s better to say words can adapt to situations rather than saying it’s being forced. A ton of words that were underground slang are now just normal words.
There are only three adult women in Silent Hill 2. One is dead from a horrifying unspecified disease, one is a very young abuse survivor, and one is an evil manifestation who only exists to torment the protagonist. Only one is supposed to be sexy but in an uncanny and unnerving sort of way. What is wrong with gamers
It’s my 3rd favorite game of all time and they gotta do this to me
i’d like to introduce you to a bunch of my comrades who protested the genocide of Palestinians on college campuses
i want you to tell them they’re very free to protest in the USA and their efforts have viable effects. You might have to do it in person since some of them still can’t see through the pepper spray and can’t hear very well from their head injuries
do you think the average Chinese person would benefit from having their state overthrown or that they’d even want that? The Chinese state is highly popular among Chinese citizens. It regularly has an approval rating of above 90%. To what end would China benefit from having a different arrangement?
Yeah let me go to the same Olympics that allows the Zionist Entity Isn’treal, the USA, Saudi Arabia, and various other genocidal states so I can mock…the DPRK, a country not doing genocide. Ok.
Also doing this while comfortable enough to go to Paris and get tickets to the Olympics
