I heard a factoid about that on the NPR News Hour this morning, but I missed the exact qualifications, so I found this article from Newsweek that gives much more precise info from the FBI and The Violence Protection Project:

It’s definitely rare, but has happened before.
And you just know they’re sending copies of all your poop data to China, too, for some reason. Probably something to do with “improving targeted advertising,” but we know better.
Well shucks, guys, we sure do hope y’all will understand, but any discussion of current events will be looked upon as a direct affront on our corporate overlords and their kin, and golly gee, we’d feel just plum awful if our beloved faceless and soulless owners found a reason to be cross with us! So, we know you’ll be just as soft and unquestioningly compliant as we have made up our minds to be, and that y’all will keep your dang ol’ gazes pointed at the floor and your yaps shut, and just do as you’re told, a-hyuck! Otherwise, our precious r/popculturechat might catch a whoopin’ from them powers that be, and well-shut-my-mouth, we just absolutely, positively, could not ever fucking have THAT. EVER. Could we?

The phrase “hurt people hurt people” immediately comes to mind, but I still have no idea what Streeter’s story was, even after reading way more than I would have liked to. But I think yours is an important question for people to be asking, if they ever hope to prevent abuse (as much as could ever be prevented, I guess).
Had my first big job interview in years just a few days ago. I was, at most, 50% mentally present in the moment, and the other 50% of my brain was dedicated to suppressing thoughts like this or being prepared to evoke a genuine sounding laugh so I could pass it off as a joke. Nailed the interview, though.
You’re stuck in the “defensive driving” mindset – You gotta go offensive to keep safe. The Chevy Stretch offers significantly greater total mass than even large trucks, and a lower center of gravity. Now you’ll be the one crossing the center line, striking fear into the hearts of the sensible!
I agree with the sentiment, but I think a dragon (even an evil one) has too much prestige… Could we go with “swamp oaf” or maybe “putrid ghoul” instead?
Nice! Would you mind sharing how you built up that texture in the foreground?
How fitting, that content no one wrote, goes on to be content no one reads.
Google “metal movie poster (title-of-movie-here)” and you’ll find a bunch of online stores that sell images printed on some kind of metal, often with a graphic border for “a distressed/vintage look.”
I’m fairly certain these are the result of some script that grabs popular images, adds the border, and creates the listing. Also, the border probably helps them evade some reverse-image-searches performed by the actual artists/copyright holders.
Just you wait…
Shoutout to The Chats for helping to finally identify(?) Mr. Democracy Manifest.
Constrictive criticism and pointers is how we get better
Yeah, please. Why be deceptive? It serves no one.
Better yet, take responsibility for your own pleasure. Play an active role in getting what you want out of the act. Communicate. Why wouldn’t you?
Same for TV ads opposing our Amendment 4 in Florida. Just so much demonstrably false info. Early in the election ads ramp-up, there was one that actually showed the full text of the amendment on-screen, while making false claims about it in the voiceover.
They’re pandering to a base that does not care about facts, and who often will not even bother to read what is put in front of them.
Been a lot of “demon” talk from him lately. Tucker’s literally turning into Alex Jones before our very eyes.
How the fuck do you accuse someone of being a terrorist and then threaten to blow them up?
Same way you claim your political opposition is committing widespread voter fraud, and then yours is the only party ever caught doing it.
Same way you accuse trans folks of being “child groomers,” when the vast majority of cases involve men from your own political party or religious group.
Same way… Well, you see where this is going.

It’s so hard to lose someone you love, but it’s written into the contract from the moment you let them into your heart. I’ve lost a couple cats now, and when I feel myself getting sad while thinking of them, I allow myself that moment to process, but then am sure to remind myself of how lucky I am to have had something in my life that was so great that it could still make me feel that way, years later. It takes time to get there, but I think it’s what they’d want.
My condolences to you, Momo is a true beauty.
