Open corruption. Cool cool cool.

Maybe there should be, idk, consequences?

Let's ask the rich people who groomed and appointed her. Oh, no? Well okay then.

Off to the m*l*t*v store.

Sure, you are allowed to have a firearm. As long as we (the police) never see you with it, or anything shaped like it, on your person ever, even if you are inside your own apartment. Oh, also don't be black. Black people all have guns all the time. /s

That constitutional right doesn't feel very constitutional when it's a death sentence to exercise it.

He's got a gun! Quick! Murder him as fast as possible!

But we have the right to have them? Oh wait I get it, you have the right to have a firearm but not the right to be alive at the same time, ahh, now it makes sense. Got me with the loophole, no "right to live while bearing arms" in the constitution, but you can bear arms, just gotta forfeit your right to be alive.

Lol. I guess it's hard to tell when you haven't seen the site change over time but.. yeah?

It uses to be "argumentless" discussions on esoteric tech and philosophy issues.. then a few years later it was people commenting the same 9 memes for 9,000 comments.. then a few years later suddenly everyone's anecdotes are praising China, or capitalism, or offhandedly mentioning some product or influencer.

Tbh tho, most of Reddit now just reads like Subreddit Simulator. All of the site's value regarding sincere, unique, and detailed user content.. yeah, that's gone. They're just coasting on past laurels, will be fun to watch the wheels fall off as the data stays locked in 2023, before the LLM Ouroboros.

This is similar to when I heard reddit was doing the API lockdown, I wrote an automation bot over the weekend that self-destructed my subreddit and the entire post history. The bot also automatically downloaded and archived all of the content on my local machine.

It was annoying because at first I couldn't get access to older posts since at the time reddit had changed their API to only show the first X posts (100 or 1,000 or whatever). So I told my bot to delete the posts as it archived them so as I deleted content, reddit had no choice but to populate the page with the older posts.

And that's how I archived my subreddit. Reddit banned me two days later for automation, lol. I did not break any of the reddit or reddit api ToS during this process but I guess I upset someone.

7/10 Americans are aware / woke.

The owners, "Stop being aware, go back to being a cog in the machine. Stop reading the founders intent that we can overthrow them. That's against the law and the law is what we will use to enforce our ideologies upon you."

The "war against woke" is a war against awareness.

Here at Boeing, we only kill a statistically acceptable number of humans to avoid affecting the stock price. Fly Boeing today. We did a good job forty years ago so trust us today!

Supporters of Israeli genocide commit violence.
I'm shocked.
Shocked and appalled.
This is so out of character for genocidalists.

When I see this, I don't only see this man, I see every man, woman, and child who interacted with this police precinct.

How many current prisoners were put in prison by this type of psychological torture?

How many of those prisoners weren't as lucky as this man to have undeniable evidence of innocence?

How many citizens going about their day pull off the road when they spot a police car in their rear view mirror due to terrifying encounters shared by neighbors?

Fascist morons. Morons seem particularly useful to fascists, they love being the boot and they are too stupid to look up and see an even larger boot ready to crush them when they step out of line.

This application looks fine to me.

Clearly labeled sections.

Local on one side, remote on the other

Transfer window on bottom.

No space for anything besides function, is the joke going over my head?

Scan the room left to right. Quickly. Do it 3-10x. Survey the people.

Now. Go to the far left person, look at their head. Maintain eye to head contact for 3 seconds. Now with your mouth make a (bzzzrrr) noise and turn your head slowly to the next person. When you stop turning your head make a (kerthnk, zzp) noise. Do this for every person in the restaurant. You now have data on everyone.

Next step, scan for exits, reposition yourself at the table so that your back faces the nearest structural wall, this will be useful if there is a fire fight. Turn your seat backwards and plant your feet far apart for maximum stability, also granting you the mobility to leap to your feet and dive through a window if necessary.

I assume you are wearing leather gloves and a bandana, nod to yourself and squeeze your hands a few times to get the blood flowing.

The server is here, order nuggies and a water. You'll need your protein, but you are prepared.

Go forth and conquer the world my child.

"Is he bipolar schizo?"

What a cunt of a human being. He used a child-like level of insulting language, escalated at evey situation, tazed needlessly and without warning, and made zero attempts to do anything but bark orders to a person who is CLEARLY in a distressed mental state and unable to comply.

As bad as it is, situations like these make me do a little cheer in my head every time I see an article where a police officer dies.

They kill so many people compared to every other civilized nation, hopefully they die at increased rates as well. It's only fair, right?

I admit I feel guilty to feel that way, but it's the result of seeing the police betray the public at every turn. Crushing protests, shooting people running away, beating people senseless for seemingly nothing, slamming a man to the pavement walking to work which broke his skull and left him with life long brain damage. Shouting at EVERYONE for EVERYTHING. Illegally arresting people shouting "STOP RESISTING" as the person is contorted and unable to move. While raining punches and knees down on men, women, children (especially black children) who are face down on the ground. All while communicating like impatient children. Expecting the public to bow to them without question. It's all so old and ubiquitous.

There are thousands of these videos at this point. They've been terrors for long before we all had cameras. Now we just see it.

Just remember, if you have a problem and call the police, now you have two problems.

Fuck the police. ACAB. etc.

No surprise.

"I'm the victim! I'm so much the victim that if you don't recognize it, I will discriminate against myself! Okay done, now that I've been discriminated against (by my own words), can we shoot the protestors like Palestinian children?"

Ah, he's emotional. People shouldn't be outwardly emotional, especially men. Otherwise I can't absorb the content of their message. /s

Joke aside, did you have a point? One could alternatively say that he's passionate about the fights he chooses. Should we not all aspire to be passionate about the fights we choose?

I suppose I'm not making the connection with what this comment has to do with the content of the video. At which timestamp do you feel he was emotional and how do you feel it effected the overall message?

Nope. They found out most folks are cool with the gays, educated people found out the "blacks commit crime" is actually "poor people commit crime", everyone uses thc, we're increasingly done with religion, media is representative of more than white cowboys who can only grunt "I'm manly!", and we are friends with aethiests, hindis, muslims, and jews.

Therefore we are obviously insane and have to die.

I'm glad she's doing this, but for reasons opposite her agenda.

I grew up long enough ago to remember the vitriolic hatred people had at even a suggestion that they might be gay. Kids would violently attack other kids to assert their straightness. And hearing the f-word was a regular occurrence. Literally any disagreement? F-word came out.

I could be wrong about this, I'm not a kid today, but I assume kids today don't understand how bad it was. I'm glad she's doing this because the majority of kids are fine with gay and queer lifestyles in a way that would have bent my tiny brain when I was a kid. So they might have a hard time imagining how strong the hate for those things once was.

This woman serves as a villain, to show kids that hate is still out there and that being an ally to the queer community matters. I think that her plan will eventually backfire, because the way to combat folks like her is to normalize being gay even more than it is now.

She will go down in history as a relic of hate. A woman to be pitied and nothing more.

How awful that she ruins peoples' lives as a game. What a horrid husk of a person.

The court was respected when I was a kid.

The court no longer has respect.

What right wing institutions are trying to do (and in many cases achieving) with governing bodies is transparent.

The court is as corrupt as the Congress and the Senate. A government of lobbyists, for the corporation, by the corporation. Fuck the people.
