  • Sounds like they wanted a thermometer but didn’t know that cooking thermometers have different names and was presented with pictures of cooked meat. Judging by their reaction, they find meat unappealing. Their indignation is borne from seeing a thing that they don’t like but is key to the search term they used, “meat thermometer”, when they could have used “candy thermometer” and gotten the same products with different pictures that would be far less offensive. So they are blaming their seeing meat on the choices of others instead of their own inexperience with cooking instruments.


  • “It is with great sadness that I and the rest of the Geary police officers will no longer be serving this community,” Ford wrote, “but it was the right decision for me and the other officers.”

    Ford, without elaboration, encouraged residents of the town of nearly 1,000 about 50 miles (80 kilometers) northwest of Oklahoma City to become acquainted with the city council “and to be as involved as possible in the city, especially attending the city council meetings.”

    The message from the police is “fuck you if I don’t get my way” as the authoritarian budget is finally becoming unsustainable and requires cuts. They quit in protest, thinking the spike in crime from their absence will stoke public outcry to reinstate the original budget. When this won’t work as they imagined, as a town of just 1000 is actually rather uneventful, they will perpetrate the crimes they believe they are needed for, like theft and vandalism.

    Either way, quitting a public safety job en masse in protest is telling the community that they can go fuck themselves. They even told others who to pout to because the police tantrum isn’t working. Lazy, callous authoritarians.
