Percent propaganda in media

The more I see on tv during these slow patrols, the more each piece seems engineered to fit a political narrative, or to sell a product, or worse: a lifestyle.
Even educational things, documentaries, hell, especially educational material, will tell only specific parts of stories, or not touch specific things. Are there any bastions remaining of free media? At this point I'm going to guess essentially all major network television is, if not directly engineered, then at least run through some network ideals censor/"contributor"
Thoughts?

Tried it once, figured if I'd try it, it's go big or go home, so I went on a one evening spree. Fair few lines, many bumps.
Sure it's fun, but so not worth it.

So do your worried parents think this emo edge thing is a phase, or are they starting to catch on that maybe you're autistic?

I think security and LE get a bad rep because so many get a complex and start power-tripping. They forget that the people they deal with on a day to day basis are normal regular people just like themselves too, even if they do have differences.
Once I got hassled by this security dude for smoking on this hospital's property. Yeah there was a million signs saying "no smoking ANYWHWRE" but come the fuck on, it was fucking a trek to get anywhere off their property and I had to be back inside quick. I was all the way in the parking lot, away from anybody, next to a fucking tree, for fucks sake and you're gonna take your time. To come bitch at me for smoking a cigarette when I clearly made an effort to not inconvenience anyone else with my smoke?
I get that maybe his boss or someone else saw me and bitched at him to go bitch at me… But come on… Have some consideration, because you too, if you're a human with any degree of empathy. Instead of bitching and giving me a bunch of bullshit he could have said "look, there are signs everywhere and I know it's stupid but my boss had me come out to bitch at you- can you like go hide behind a different tree, get in your car, or like… Pretend you put it out so I don't get in trouble here?" and dude, I could have totally understood and respected that. I get it's a job and ya'll probably have to enforce shit that's retarded anyway… But don't cat like I fucking stabbed someone and list off you calling the police to ticket and trespass me for smoking a cigarette literally away from anyone. Dude, I could have a close relative dying in that hospital or something and it's bullshit in the first place that I can't smoke outside anymore, and if you want to bitch about cigarette butts, then give me a goddamn ashtray! The car exhaust is far more problematic and a health issue than my measley cigarette "second hand smoke" is.
Sounds like you ran into the type of guy I fucking hate working with. Real robocop types. Think they're a big man harassing a dude over a dart. Fucker probably plays airlift on the weekends and tells people he was busy doing milsim.
You've got to understand, these jobs are filled with fuckos.
Not currently at liberty to shate my state. Suffice to say not a huge one

I imagine they want people who are going to be cops so they can have folks who can carry a firearm for specific gigs where that is needed, is my guess.
Start local. Experience in that will help get with nationwide groups. Certs help get the job, but aren't nescessary. They'll either pay for certs, or have their own facility for it. Seriously it can be fun work if you dont take it too seriously and have thick skin.

I actually bullshitted through every part of my entrance. They only just recently learned I'm not in college to be a cop. My company is terribly understaffed and I've been with them far longer than their usual guys, and I know this town like the back of my hand, in addition to being one of their best, so they kept me.
Anything you buy arms or armorwise can be written off in taxes.
Anything. Consider it an opportunity to get armed if you're not.
I have a really pleasant position right now.
Basically claiming to be interested in law enforcement, a well written resume, and being basically fit, and you'll be accepted.
Mileage may vary with different companies. To get into the pinkertons is another beast entirely, for example

It definitely can be. I've seen a guy get curb stomped, been in a fair few scuffles, and made some arrests.
Mostly it's quiet though. Bring some cigs to share, don't pretend to be Robocop, and you'll have fun.

My town always had so many crows. The buildings keep the air warm and offer places to hang out. Imagine seeing just clouds of loud, dark, birds. I like crowd though. They're smart animals. I hate when people fuck with them. It's bad juju to say the least

You'll be fine champ. Spear rush the dirty pig dogs

Get a statue of an owl or large bird and put it in your window, like they put out on docks to keep birds from shutting on them. You can get a cheap one st a fleet farm or Menards or something.

Bruh if you're dead you can never go to space and farm astroweed on your meteor based farm, retire after a long day of work to slam your beautiful robot/alien wife.
Or augment your puny human body
Really those are two pretty good reasons to hang around

Think about it this way. There is comfort in faith, and community, and hope, I'm a world where there is increasingly less. Guidelines keep your actions good and in check for people who may have difficulty otherwise.
And if I'm wrong? I end up in the same dirt as you, fam (assuming I don't help colonize space and smoke weed on an asteroid with my lovely robot/alien wife). I win either way, and there is a joy in that.
The hope and knowledge that you have some cosmic homie, is good shit.
I imagine God probably gas a good sense of humor, in addition to being infinitely forgiving. Talk about a bro

Like practicing witches. Salts herbs, candles, crystals, the whole 9. No matter what happens it's all i can come across. No matter what I do I keep falling into the occult. So much so that rituals and spells are a major turn on
