Police Murder Oklahoma Man Terence Crutcher *Graphic Death*
Wrong place, wrong time, wrong skin color.
If it's a case of wrong place wrong time, then wow, that sucks
A two-year-old resolves a moral dilemma
It's all about timing. If you pull the lever at the exact right moment, the front axle has passed the junction and the rear axle gets diverted. The trolley will derail.
Why you shouldn’t drive slowly in the left lane
Rechtsfahrgebot FTW
Seriously I just finished a ca. 550 km drive from Fehmarn to Cologne and it is so comfortable to hang in the middle or right lane and only accelearte to pass. Sure sometimes you have to pass quite often, but as long as you are passing and driving faster no one is going to block you.
Police Officer Admits There Is A Code Among Police
One recurring thing I've often noticed with US cops is that they are really really bad at deescalating standard situations. I've been multiple times to the US and every time an encounter with a cop basically ended at him either shouting at me (I approached them to ask for the way to my hotel - slightly tipsy), telling me to step out of a vehicle with his hand on a holster (traffic stop) or the cops encircling me with an extreme force multitude and warning me to "watch out". (when I walked on foot to a gas station).
Not once have I made a positive experience with US cops when visiting the states. I have never been arrested or done any illegal activity when visiting, but still I felt as if the cops do not know how to assess a situation and always approach it from a worst case scenario. Perhaps out of a fearful state of mind, I do not know - but in any case - escalating a standard situation to the brink is what they seem to be really good at.
Bill Burr Emotionally on Goodfellas
One of my favourite movies and a great insight. Scorsese also does not shun the edits, the hard cuts. Other directors preferred or still do prefer the "hidden" edits, Scorsese turns this around and makes edits just when you think something is off or as visible as possible. This is imo why the different scenes all appear to be encapsulating their own little comedic story.
Kid Gets Custom Trump Shirt Made Gets Special Message
For me it's quite the contrary, I would prefer that a company where I order custom printed t-shirts does not decide to chime in with their own political commentary not matter if it says "Trump Lover" or "I hate trees".
It is none of their business to give their snide commentary in this manner, they can deny the order and that is fine, then I'll go somewhere else.
Inb4 someone thinks I'm a Trump or Hillary supporter - I can't even vote in your country so I don't really care about them.
Kid doesn't know he just gave that T-shirt company some really good free publicity. Many more people will buy shirts there now, while they might lose 2 Trump customers. I'm pretty sure they'll be OK.

Literally giving the GAU-8 a blowjob.
Cops Don't Like to Be Honked At in Colorado
Great demonstration on how to escalate a completely harmless situation. Some cops seem to be particularly good at that.

Or just use a very sharp knife and do not chop but slice, without pressure.
Edit: The knife used in the video is pretty dull.

The Danish School Where Children Play With Knives
There are some schools like this in Germany as well. Usually children that have issues like attention deficit disorder or do not fit into a normal school (problem child) will attend to such a "Forest school" (Waldschule). There are studies that it benefits development as the change in scenery from the busy city life helps the children adjust. It is definitely not very common and children still need to attend regular classes.
To say it has a flair of "anti science" is a bit far fetched as these schools often teach a lot about the local flora and fauna, do stuff like looking at water samples under a microscope or take earth probes. Sure it is not super scientific, it probably compares to what most kids would do as boy scouts - except it's part of the school's education program. For some kids this approach is better at fueling their scientific curiosity than in a regular school environment where they have many other issues to deal with.
@Gratefulmom
People who disagree with science generally don't come out so well in the end--see anti-vaxxers, climate change deniers, etc. I'd change my mind about these kindergartens if there were solid science behind them.
The Human Nailgun
Very useful if you build a wood house and do wood work in general. Not really useful for a standard house, but maybe more like a cabin or work shed.
