I love it when governments "circle the wagons." There's already laws on the books just about everywhere that are designed to prevent people from attacking the police forces. Now, however, the little girl police in New York will be kept from being annoyed. Because, as we all know, being annoyed is a crime.

if the big boys in blue can't take a little annoyance, maybe they need to find another line of work.

ಠ_ಠ "harassment" wasn't enough, they have to go for synonyms now? These lawyers must work in the Department of Redundancy Department.

On the other hand, maybe the gov't being afraid of the people is the way it should be. :) “A government afraid of its citizens is a Democracy. Citizens afraid of government is tyranny!” - Thomas Jefferson

How is it even possible not to annoy them?  "Well fuck, not at quota...better follow this guy til he doesn't signal or floats a stop...."  "Well fuck, this guy is shooting the place up, hells bells."  "Well fuck, donut has a non-pristine glaze."  "Well fuck, this stripper is offering sex to look the other way on this blow I found on her."

Fuck, everything annoys me, can I get a law?

I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea?

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

What's so innovative about the Apple Watch?

What's so innovative about the Apple Watch? What has Apple done since the launch of the iPhone that was truly innovative? I read articles all he time about features this and software that, but I haven't seen anything where it was definitively proven where Apple has been cutting edge for years. christopher rizzo called me a troll for questioning his religious adherence to Apple consumerism.  So, can someone explain where Apple is truly innovative? I'm not talking about a minor change like the USB-C port or "slide to unlock" but a true innovation that's once again changing the industry. http://www.fastcodesign.com/3043419/what-the-apple-watch-does-that-googles-watches-dont
