Aside from the transparency issue, did you see how much it’s going to cost?

Four hundred million dollars! The city is cutting back on pretty much everything else but wants to spend that on police radios.

Everyone has to tighten their belts while the thin blue line gets fatter and more dangerous.

Well, for starters, European police are actually trained professionals (in general, much more so than American police) and have different oversight. American police also handle a wider variety of things that really aren’t law enforcement - things that should be handled by other kinds of professionals.

EDIT: American law enforcement agencies are also home to some of the highest rates of domestic violence perpetrators and right-wing extremism.

American police shoot and kill 3-4 people each day. That doesn’t take into account deaths that occur in jails and prisons due to negligence.

A Die Ärzte reference in the wild! I love this song…and a lot of their other ones. They even slip it into “Ich, am Strand” - Ich auf Demo: Nazis raus!

I did a couple of weeks ago, after being off it for a couple of months…it was awful. I closed my account and deleted my saved login info. I only go to it now if it comes up in a search and seems relevant.

I’m thinking of a couple of coworkers who need this. It might be worth it.

I read your edit and thought “how bad could it be?”

I started reading the comments and it was way worse than I thought.

The most upvoted comments all display a great deal of “I only read 2 words of your original post” energy.

I didn’t bother with an adblocker until recently myself because I was okay with a couple of ads or mentioning sponsors.

Then, one day, the ads just multiplied on every video. It was that sudden for me. After a couple of days, I downloaded apps for my phone and TV and it’s been wonderful.

I’ll watch YT in all its horribleness on my consoles if I’m looking for something game-related and I don’t want to get up and grab my phone.,

Without hesitation, yes.

As long as it’s the elites, hallelujah!

The Streisand Effect - pretty much the only thing bearing her name that I like. The movie “What’s Up, Doc?” was good, though, so two things I guess.

Well as someone with ADHD, depression, and anxiety, as well as being on the spectrum, initially we’d be kinda screwed. I have spent a lot of time in therapy and have done a lot to manage it all, as well as developing empathy for myself and others, so not so bad.

However, I choose to be a non-theistic Satanist and an anarchist, so a lot of other people are going to be fucked. Especially those that deserve no empathy due to their hoarding of resources and exploitation of people and the planet.

I quit Prime a while ago. Since then, most of the time I pay for next day, they miss the window and I get a refund for the full shipping fee. Yeah, it means I got my stuff a day “late” but I ended up with free 2 day shipping.

Reuters could have geoblocked the article.

Some people use the opportunity that being incarcerated provides to reflect on their choices and work to become better…then there’s this guy…if he hasn’t been to prison, he’s well on his way.

Exactly - it’s the parents’ responsibility.

Imagine any government telling car manufacturers that they have to verify that everyone who starts their vehicles has a valid drivers license.

Thomas Edison wishes he could have been this successful in ruining the name of Nikola Tesla.

What was Google protecting us from?

Oh no, an overpriced piece of generic tech with a designer label is off the shelf? I guess they can use that money to buy a new iPhone case.

Too fucking right

I tell you hwat… tolerance is a social contract, not a moral imperative.
