Phoenix police fire sergeant who brought gun to ICE protest, refused to obey chief’s order (r/news)

• Alwayssunnyinarizona: I am genuinely surprised our new chief of police did the right thing here. Sure, the fired officer will get a job in Chandler or Ahwatukee or wherever, but at least the PHX PD did something right for once.
• mastermidget23: Reading the article, this pos was basically saying “if I can’t carry a weapon at these kinds of events while off duty, I will just go against your policy and claim I quit so I can’t be fired”. Fucking psychopaths shouldn’t be given guns and authority.
• Iribumkiak: He is just going to get another police job in another jurisdiction.

Earworm Kars4Kids jingle yanked from California radios (r/news)

• ap83: I change the station anytime this comes on
• IndigoRanger: One of the greatest deadpan bits in recent memory was Paul F. Tompkins complaining about how that jingle is so manipulative, because “just think of all the money they save getting kids to sing it instead of adults.”
• Macdaddy357: Sham charities are a giant problem, we need a defined standard of how much money can be wasted on paid directors and advertising.

TIL a supermarket suddenly closed in 1999 and the store was abandoned with all its products and equipment inside still in place. Since the store was sealed up everything remained preserved. (r/todayilearned)

• TGAILA: No one took full responsibility. The owners defaulted on their loans, the bank seized the building and sold the lease, and the new owner just let the contents sit until the landlord finally got a judgement to take back the premises. Abandonment by committee.
• LouSputhole94: Having read through the wiki, it honestly seems like a pretty stupid business decision. The inventory or assets they left behind could have offset the debt burden a bit. Or at the very least, had they notified the various companies they had renting floor space, those companies could have collected some things. Seems like they just went “fuck it, let the bank deal with it.”
• slice_of_pi: This is one of those things that apocalypse stories or zombie tales rarely talk about. The actual story of this supermarket is horrifying.

What’s something attractive at 18 but embarrassing at 30? (r/AskReddit)

• KellyAnn3106: Talking about your high school accomplishments.
• BrainlessVeal: Beating someone older than you in a fight
• Plus_Range1430: Empty booze bottles used as decoration.

Why does New York seem so dirty compared to other world-class cities? (r/NoStupidQuestions)

• TheSweetestChicx: A big part is the visible garbage. NYC has older infrastructure and limited alley space, so trash often sits on sidewalks before pickup. That alone makes streets feel dirtier, even if many other major cities handle waste very differently.
• WorldTallestEngineer: Most megacities (over 10 million people) have a lot of back alleys with dumpsters. New York has almost no back alleys, and no place to put dumpsters. So trash bags are piled on the street.
• WarderWannabe: Should’ve seen it in the 70’s. It’s Disney world now by comparison.
