Remember kids, climate change is your fault specifically, and only you can make things better by making your own life harder!

The police are militarized state violence. They enforce the will of the state through the use of violence. That’s not something that can be reformed because it’s inherent to policing. Any effective reform would lead to police not being police.

Still don’t understand how tf you bungle a situation like this so badly.

Step 1: Assume the person is intoxicated
Step 2: Do whatever you want because you’re a cop and you don’t consider drug users people/“something something fentanyl”

They say something like “Lower Decks was made by people who aren’t Trekkies”. TLD has so many bizarre obscure references to past Trek series that I have to assume it was written by the biggest Trek fans ever. Anyone who thinks it was written by non-fans has clearly never even given it a chance.

So the thing about qualified immunity is that unless there’s existing precedent that a cop can’t do this, then cops have immunity. Which is a cool catch 22 because you can’t have existing precedent if every cop who’s ever faced charges/lawsuits for a particular thing has gotten off because there wasn’t already a precedent. It’s an Ouroboros of letting cops do whatever they want.

This is beginning to change in some places, where police chiefs or their higher-ups want nothing to do with overtly shitty cops, but considering these cops have already finished their paid vacation suspension, I don’t think they’ll face any serious charges.

Thanks :)

I’d love to see a study done on the correlation between being a cop and killing animals. I bet there’s a definitive correlation there.

IA is not a sustainable project, and is built as a single point of failure. It has no transparency and no recovery plan if things go bad. Compare that to Anna’s Archive, a project that open sources all of their code and data so that things will continue running even if everyone involved disappears.

Ask yourself: if IA’s data was silently modified, would anyone be able to tell?

and the cheap sluts for violence that marry them.

60% of cops abuse their spouse. These aren’t “sluts for violence”, these are people who can’t leave because their spouse might kill them or at the very least sic other cops on them.

Can I introduce you to qualified immunity?

No, because psychopathy is not a real mental disorder and you won’t find it in the DSM. Either way, I’d be more upset at people killing animals than having an arbitrarily labeled mental illness.

Usually because people don’t start recording until there’s a reason, like police brutality.

Hang on, I’ve read this book before

Thanks for sharing such great art, it’s revived a feeling in me that I didn’t know I’d forgotten.

This one hit me like a brick wall. There’s so much being said, packed into 1.5 megapixels. I don’t even know how to describe what it makes me feel.

They were protesting the universities themselves though. Kinda hard to do that if you’re not at the university.

If you’ll excuse me, I have to go try that.

I told you bro. I fuckin’ warned you.

People have called me “paranoid” for years for pointing out that this kind of thing was going to happen, and it’s so much worse than I thought it would be but at least I’m vindicated.

Tech companies will literally murder or enslave you if they think it would be good for their bottom line. We know that’s true because tech companies are murdering and enslaving people in the global south because it’s good for their bottom line. Stop giving them money. Stop buying wifi-enabled garbage that spies on you for the police state.

Maybe it’s a good thing that people with entirely too much money are being forced to rock their own crying child instead of having a machine do it. Using robots to soothe your child is a Phillip K. Dick-esque dystopia. Obviously a crying child take a huge mental and physical health toll on everyone in a house, but in a country where poor people are being forced to give birth, maybe the rich people should have to suffer a little bit too.

No problem! That UN site was a nightmare to navigate, it took me an hour just to find the 2021 voting record, and I only knew it existed because someone else mentioned it in another thread.

People usually don’t decide to do things like that for shits and giggles, so let’s try and empathize with them and see if we can find some rational reasons for what they do.

Maybe they can’t afford the rent at an RV park. Maybe the rules there are so restrictive that the RV park is unusable to them. A lot of jurisdictions have restrictions on how long someone can rent space before they get legal protections or require additional insurance, so a lot of short-stay places like hotels and RV parks put a cap of a week or two for a stay.

Have you tried talking to these people? You can learn a lot about why people act the way they do by just asking them. Most people are rational enough that they have reasons for doing the things they do, and they’ll probably be happy to tell you if you’re friendly and treat them like people.
