I mean it depends which ones are you watching.

True crime series usually deal with crimes where the perpetrator is undeniably guilty, and typically of very heinous crimes. It shows cases where the police is correctly doing what should be their job.

If there are any videos that show "we assaulted a random person on the street" type of police work in a positive way, I haven't seen it yet.

Do we have anyone here who works in US customs, or whichever agency is in charge of applying these tariffs?
How do you guys even keep track of what to charge when tariffs change daily?

This place is for "fuck cars" in the negative way, like for hating on cars.
Not "cars I'd like to fuck because it looks so good". And this car does look awesome.

At some point airlines stopped doing the hub-and-spoke model where all flight come into one big airport and then passengers change flights onward to their destination. Now they favor the point-to-point model, which as the name suggests means every destination pair is served by an individual flight.

As to why. It's probably financial but it don't know for sure really.

It's easy to see how someone might fall into an anti-immigrant pipeline with news like this.

  • Thousands of immigrants are willing to risk death to reach the UK which they see as a promised land
  • I live in the UK and see nothing of this promised land, on the contrary my life is quite shitty, I'm barely making the ends meet
  • Therefore the good life opportunities are taken by the immigrants

Of course what's missing is the first-hand insight in the immigrant life, which is far from comfortable.

Which makes me think what is driving those people to see specifically the UK as a promised land. Rather than any other country. Mass hysteria/cultural phenomenon? An extreme case of FOMO?

Is the original satire? I know Americans are obsessed with presentism on the job, but even they understand the concept of a vacation?
