I believe the term is preference. I prefer to own a home. I don’t mind being neighbors with an apartment.

Well said.

No thanks. I mean I’m firmly in the build more apartments crowd but I want to own my own place with a yard.

Thanks for taking the time to do this informative write-up.

Thanks for taking the time to explain this well.

I recently read Jurassic Park for the first time and I thought the same thing. The movie provided a more engaging plot, had more emotional punch, and developed stronger characterization. Going back and reading Chrichton’s work has been a rewarding exercise to me as a budding writer. He had some great ideas but also surprisingly had a lot of flaws in his work.

That’s what the article calls them. What do you call beanbag rounds and rubber bullets and stun guns? I see the term less lethal or less-than-lethal used.

It’s a bad article and a bad video. The non-lethal rounds did not kill him. The video says an officer “opened fire”, after the non-lethal didn’t work and the man grabbed the other officer’s weapon. Opened fire in this case means a standard firearm. Other actually good articles covering this make that clear. He was struck in the chest with an actual bullet fired from a hand gun.

I agree the cops should have handled it differently and fucked up as usual

The article says they fired non-lethal rounds and doesn’t mention that he was killed. It’s a rage bait headline. Not that I want to support cops, but I don’t like falsehoods being thrown around

It’s a video game about creepy places and monsters. I tried the first level (what the image is about) but I couldn’t quite get into it.
