    Absolutely not. Any “normal” person would be seeing jail time and would’ve already lost their job for such behavior, especially with video evidence.

    I doubt this person feels any remorse given the fact they received the equivalent of a slap on the wrist for, literally, breaking someone’s face.

    I don’t follow the NFL, nor do I care enough to follow up, but I hope Kamara loses his job (extreme doubt).

    This is just one of many examples of the type of pay to win society we are forced to engage with daily. Make enough money and you can get away with anything. Truly pathetic.

    Not an expert, but some cursory googling brought up the term “pathway salvaging” for general bodily functions and, more specifically, Nucleotide salvage , as the function pertaining to this article. Again, I am not an expert so I could be wrong. I urge you to do your own research.

    Thanks for posting the above, I enjoy seeing people’s setups. I also must add that I’m a fan of you comments, in general!

    I strongly agree. I’ve been lurking for a bit now, this is my first post, and I don’t know if it’s just me, but the quality of comments in some recent threads seem to me to be very much degraded for the sake of being “humorous”.

    The immediate example I can think of is at least a couple of simple thumbs up emojis from commenters in the thread regarding emojis being applicable in a recent Canadian court judgement.

    As a Reddit migrant, one thing that really bugged me on that platform was the proliferation of “joke comments” in threads that amounted to a single sarcastic sentence or multiple iterations of often referenced jokes already established in the zeitgeist. Often times, entire threads on serious topics could consist of responses aimed at sarcasm or “wittiness” for the sake of being funny. Ultimately, these threads provide nothing to the community.

    I’ve seen complaints on the Reddit alternative sub that summarize Tildes as “taking itself too seriously” but I would much prefer that over it not taking itself seriously enough.

    In my brief time here, I have been very impressed with the breadth of knowledge and insights shared. It’s refreshing to browse Tildes and aspire to reach the level of creativity, decorum, or eloquent expression that some users post with here. I am often excited when I stumble upon a new post or comment from a user that I’ve previously clicked with or learnt from.

    All that to say and reiterate, I agree and hope we stay serious.
