WHERE YOU SEE X, I SEE Y

The only problem about perceiving a distorted reality is that it usually creates conflict with those who see the reality in a different way.
But, who are the wrong ones? The ones in minority? The majority always is right? Think about how many millions of flies do like shit...

TOTALLY UNNECESSARY

At first, you think the car is blocking access to the fire hydrant, which justifies the firefighter’s actions. But in the end, you realize it was completely unnecessary—it took more time to break the car windows than to simply run the hose over the hood. Basically, it seems like they were just waiting for something like this to happen so they could brag about it later.

PUT YOURSELF IN THEIR SHOES

It’s easy to criticize how quickly police officers in the United States resort to using their weapons, but to truly understand, you have to put yourself in their shoes. The pressures they face are not just a matter of perception; at any moment, a routine stop can turn into a life-or-death situation. That constant tension creates an environment where every second counts, and any hesitation could cost them their lives.

Do they sometimes go too far? Absolutely. But there are also moments when, without acting swiftly, they might never have made it home to their families. This isn’t about justifying the unjustifiable but about understanding the context in which they operate: a world where split-second decisions are the norm and the cost of getting it wrong is, quite literally, life itself.

This reality doesn’t excuse abuses, but it does shed light on why being quick on the trigger can sometimes mean the difference between tucking your kids in at night or leaving them orphaned.

I’M VERY OUTRAGED

It’s curious how people react with indignation to certain provocations while maintaining a complicit silence in the face of far greater issues. They get outraged over something that challenges their superficial values but ignore the injustices or inequalities right in front of them.

On social media, this hypocrisy is amplified. Everyone gets outraged, they scream and shout, but rarely do these emotions translate into action. Perhaps this exaggerated indignation is a way to compensate for the lack of real-life commitment, as if shouting louder online could hide the inertia of doing nothing when it truly matters.

Provocation, when used well, doesn’t aim to merely annoy but to force reflection, break the comfort of indifference, and challenge the status quo. It’s a reminder that sometimes the real problem isn’t what provokes us, but what we choose to ignore while filling our lives with superficial outrage that remains nothing more than empty words.

What defines us more as a society: what outrages us or what we let slide without questioning? Our online reactions or what we do—or fail to do—off the screen?

ANGER CAN BE VERY COSTLY

In Sandy, Utah, a man drove his car into a Mazda dealership after they refused to accept its return, claiming the sale was final. Fueled by anger, he followed through on his threat, causing significant property damage. He was arrested and now faces charges of vandalism and reckless endangerment.

Now, in addition to the car debt, he will have to cover the dealership's repair costs and possibly face legal penalties. This incident highlights how decisions made in moments of fury can significantly worsen a situation.

WHEN YOU MISS THE NEWS ABOUT YOUR CITY’S LAW CHANGES

California is trying to reverse the consequences of Proposition 47, in effect since 2014, which classified thefts under $950 as misdemeanors. The current Proposition 36 increases penalties for repeat offenders and certain crimes related to theft and drugs, allowing some offenses previously considered minor to be prosecuted as felonies again.

FIREWORKS OR MILITARY MANEUVERS

On one street, some kids light a firework rocket that shoots off down the road until it vanishes between the buildings. On another street in the neighborhood, some other kids are casually playing with firecrackers when, suddenly, a rocket comes crashing down as if someone decided to start a war. Fireworks or a tactical strike? A gang vendetta? A GPS-guided missile? "Target locked. Missile incoming."
