Do you really see a shitty world out there?
It’s almost taken as a given now when a talking head says something to the effect of, “our country (usa) is more divided than we’ve ever been”. There are a lot of different places one can go with this statement, but I really don’t see that much conflict on a day to day basis. Here’s where I’m coming from and here are some…

First and foremost before we have a bunch of snowflakes get offended by fat shaming. I bought a XXL mystery box for myself. And this isn’t a bash on cops thread either. Why don't cops, at least here in Fresno,Ca(don’t wanna speak for other parts of the country or world) have to adhere to a yearly fitness assessment. Lately…
