Right up until there is a media campaign selling outrage about how straight white people are getting unfairly ignored for unqualified black people, and foreigners.

However, if excluding a minority, creates better financial relationships with the majority consumer base, it is in their interest to drop the minority. Capitalism only cares about what seems to maximize profit, and protect it, and if that is benefited by some form of exclusion, that is what will be done.
Hasn’t been happening to me. Then again, the music I listen to probably isn’t a big target for AI, yet.
Your roomba either has great battery life, or you WFH.
Yeah, grandmother grew up in a family that had been poor farmers outwest, and midwest for a long time. They had like 10 guns, but that is because there was one rifle per person over the age of 12, plus a couple shotguns. Not for like having a shoot-out, but for killing problematic predators. Only my great grandfather had a hand gun, and he only had that because it was a gift from someone he did a bunch of work for. He rarely took it out of the box.
This is all inclusive. Go out and gitchu some billionaire long pork
Soak him in fresh water over night, then in a brine for a while, blanch, then slow cook, making sure the whole thing hits at least 160-165.
I mean, I am sure there are plenty of white people who would. I know I am up for eating a billionaire.
oh, that would be something that would make me use PPV, or, at least temporarily, get a streaming service.
yeah, like any hierarchy, is is all hypocritical, and based on BS. Ultimately it comes down to “I am right, and anyone not like me, or that disagrees with me, isn’t”
Yeah, and a lot of the guys in there, that get all bent out of shape about things like hurting women, and children, have long DV records. It is more a way of creating a caste system than most of these people actually giving a shit.
I can’t remember where I saw it, because it has been years, but a bunch of the Sovcits were passing a video of a man, that state police pulled over, threatening that if they didn’t just leave, he was going to start a gun fight. So they left. They were all sharing it around, claiming victory, sucking each other off. Then, like a year or so later, a news article came out where they decided to watch the guy closely. Instead of just arresting him, they collected a bunch of criminal infractions to charge him with. Then, when he was coming out of some store, or restaurant, or whatever, they ambushed him and took him in.
Long story short, he had CP. Possibly was paying an underage girl for sex. ALL the sovcit hang-outs were immediately perma-banning anyone who posted it.
Like, I passionately despise the legal industry here. From the cops to the legislators. However, all they have done is make it so cops assume anyone, who doesn’t immediately start sucking them off, is a sovcit. This makes them even more likely to be violent, and they do everything they can to make sure anyone that doesn’t listen to their unlawful BS, is associated with that movement.
We have a legal INDUSTRY. Everything happens because the entity doing it has a profit motive.
Or Australia. If it isn’t something from europe, or a indigenous name, it’s something really imaginative, like Northern Territory, Western Australia, and South Australia
Same in PA, but they get Duquesne right.
Yes, the state presses charges, or not. However, they will often take the victim’s desire to prosecute into consideration before doing so. But yes, you don’t press charges, the state does.
The thing is, there are already a bunch of books, and other media, out there like that. A lot of it is first hand, not second, too.
For an easy suggest, have you heard of the YouTube channel “That Dang Dad”? A man who was more conservative, and became a cop. He was so disgusted with his experience it shifted his whole professional, political, and philosophical perspective. He talks a lot about his time as a cop, and what is wrong with policing.
No one actually knows how many people police, in the US, kill. The 1994 crime bill made reporting all police related killings, to outside agency, mandatory. However, the DOJ has declined to ever enforce it. We know we are missing a large portion of the killings just from people manually mining through ME reports. How much? No clue. Why would they do this if they felt they could continue to justify the situation with the “small amount only” claim? This also goes for misconduct. The same organization you cite below has also said that they regularly see incidences of police violations get out, often due to BWC, or personal recordings from the public, and the police had written it off as justified, until the public got to see that wasn’t the case. Almost all of these include false reports. They also have noted that they are seeing a rapidly growing number of policies, and local laws, that make it hard, if not impossible, to get BWC recordings. When interviewed by and industry rag, the previous head of the largest police union in the US, Patrick Lynch, was asked about this, and further asked how many go unreported. His answer was “most”. What’s with all the secrecy if it would just continue to show that these are, statistically, small problems?
The previously mention organization, as-well-as FIRE, have began working with rights activists, pledging to give them representation, when arrested for doing things that are protected rights. The most well known of these is a man named Jeff Grey. Jeff goes around holding a sign saying “god bless the homeless veterans” and saying it to people as they walk by. He picks locations specifically recognized as traditional fora of free speech. He rarely goes a week without getting arrested for doing something that is, unarguably, a protected activity. You should see what the cops, and the local governments they work for say. He has been told that they don’t give a fuck about his rights so many times that it is now a cliche for his videos. He has been subjected to violence by police for doing this. They falsely claim it is illegal to panhandle, which it isn’t, and try to trespass him. I think he is working through 5 cases as we speak. Most of the time, when his rights aren’t violated, the cops argue with him until they tire, and leave. They don’t carry through, but they demonstrate that they have no idea what most of our rights are. It is a rare instance where they ask what he is doing, then leave when they don’t see him doing anything illegal. Let me repeat that, the times when the police recognize he is not breaking the law are the minority. And no, he doesn’t hide the “good” interaction. If someone, backed by multiple legal orgs, has this much trouble, can you imagine how often actual homeless people have their rights violated?
Then I have the, nearly, 10 years of working with/around police, I have experienced. As part of a project, tacked onto my job doing data analysis for the corrections system, we had to train police, COs, etc on a pilot program to homogenize the terminology used for data entry. The first 4 years doing this we went around, to different departments, and did the training, the last ~5 they came to us. We saw a group for 1-3 days. I never once ended one of those periods of time without hearing police say, or do, illegal, often heinous, shit. Discussing where the night shift will be when the bars get out, so the day shift can drive home, drunk, without being stopped. Bragging about breaking multiple bones in an 80 year old dementia patient because he wouldn’t answer their questions, and “resisted” being cuffed. I can’t tell you how man times I have heard police say they wish they could just arrive at a mental health call and just shoot the person, problem solved. So many times I have listened to cops discuss how someone had a smart mouth, and how “20 years ago he would just have disappeared”. The number of times have I heard them discuss going to court to “testilie”, and the general mannerisms while doing so, made it clear that lying to the court is just the status quo. One of the more common sentiments I heard passed around was that if they could just kill, or imprison, every mentally ill person, ND person, etc. they would just be making the world a better place. I could fill a book on this. All the while all the “good” cops sat around doing nothing. Not that they would be police much longer if they started intervening on what they fellow blue line gang members did. One of the things they made very clear was if you were snitch, you wouldn’t be around long. Not gang behavior at all.
A while back YT rejigged it’s algorithm to give weight to channels with small subscriber amounts
Are you being disingenuous here? Are you intentionally ignoring the media driven campaigns about things like DEI initiatives, the decades of lies about how affirmative action work, etc.? You know, the ones that have gone from being popular, to being one of the most common talking points for the right wing, in the past decade? The one that started calling out specific government offices first, then universities, then tech companies, moved onto big box stores with target, etc.? The one that has caused people to go into stores and start trashing the place? The one that has inspired a torrent of threats against these entities, and their employees? The one that has caused multiple mass shooters to ad things like DEI to their list grievances that convinced them to be a terrorist? The one that has been made to open the door for it to be a point of legislation? The one that is going on as we speak?
