Kindness is Punk

Unfortunately we voted the Democrats out of all the positions that could have actually hold Republicans accountable. Republicans never hold each other accountable.

I really understand the frustration, it’s not enough but that’s exactly why we need people like AOC in a position to hold Republicans accountable because at least we know they will, rather than establishment Democrats.

Ahh it sort of makes sense if you don’t think about it too long, gotcha.

Thanks very much!

Can someone explain to me why Pirate Software has such a big problem with it, I tried to look it up and I’m still struggling to understand.

I’m just trying to trick people into reading the article, just cut out the fluff, but you’re right ‘plainclothes federal agents’ are modern day Gestapo and not something I thought would exist in the modern day.

TLDR:

Andrea Velez, a U.S. citizen and Cal Poly Pomona graduate, was violently detained by plainclothes federal agents in downtown Los Angeles while heading to work. Witnesses say officers in unmarked cars, without ID, tackled her without checking identification. Her family believes she was targeted due to her Hispanic appearance and fears retaliation, as her mother is a non-citizen resident. LAPD claimed they responded to a “kidnapping” call but later admitted it was an immigration operation. Velez’s whereabouts remain unknown, sparking outrage over racial profiling and unchecked enforcement.

Yup, that’s what democracy is supposed to be all about giving engaged citizens the tools to change the system to reflect their values!

Do both, so they know why they lost.

ahh very good, sorry for the misunderstanding.

oh I know they’re not the first ones to get it but I do believe they’re the first ones to put the legal precedent or at least that’s what the article says.

TLDR: New Orleans is poised to become the first U.S. city to legalize real-time police facial recognition surveillance, despite a 2022 ban. The push follows revelations that NOPD secretly used Project NOLA’s 200+ AI cameras for two years, making 34+ arrests without oversight. Proponents argue it’s vital for crime-fighting, citing Bourbon Street shootings and jailbreaks, while critics warn of dystopian privacy erosion and racial bias, referencing wrongful arrests like Randal Reid’s. With 70% public approval but fierce ACLU opposition, the vote could set a dangerous precedent: privatized mass surveillance with zero accountability.

Impeachment was never the real battle it was always about Senate driven consequences. In a Republican-controlled Senate, ‘accountability’ is a one-way street paved entirely for Democrats. Their majority exists to shield their own from justice while weaponizing procedure against the opposition. Until that imbalance is broken, consequences will remain a fantasy reserved only for the left.

The sheer horror of being conscripted into the Russian military is unimaginable. These soldiers reduced are cannon fodder and are treated as less than human, not even afforded basic sustenance. These aren’t soldiers; they’re disposable bodies thrown into a meat grinder by officials who are nothing short of war criminals. The cruelty is beyond comprehension.

Israel fighting for anyone’s rights is so fucking laughable

No Donnie, you’re not that kind of Dodger! You’re a draft dodger!

I mean, that’s the Republican strategy, right?

Make up a bunch of easily disprovable lies about what your oppenents doing, then when your opponent calls you out, it sounds like nonsense.

The party of small government everyone.

Yup, it was a requirement for the job.

For the production of the tank itself or the likelihood of environmental impact?

Here is an article about the tank, it appears to still be in the proof of concept stage. As for my conjecture that it would likely have a high carbon impact during production that was based mostly on similar studies ₂ done on the production of cars.

true but we figured out things before like this when computer tech was rapidly changing so I do think it’s possible while definitely having its challenges.

we need an alternative to needing a manufacturer specific part that costs nearly $15,000 and weighing in a ton and requiring a crane to replace.
