I am appreciative that some other goon takes the time to check in on Ben and post his comic and rants in the POLCOM thread. It is such a bizarre window into the right

It's fascinating to consider all the ways that the country is stratifying and balkanizing itself.

I think it was George Carlin that observed/ranted that all politicians and news media ever focus on and talk about is the stuff that separates us and makes us different from one another. It sure looks like otherwise normal people do that to the nines as well though.

Nah, she was born in '89, so she's old enough to remember when the Internet was a thing that didn't affect her life.

NY Cops pull over car with black males for tint and alleged failure to signal. They say they smell weed. Occupants say there is no weed.

One cops searches the car and finds nothing. The other officer searches the car, too, but his camera has a "malfunction" and goes dark. During this time, he searches the area that previously had no contraband. One of the car occupants sees him handling a plastic bag and asks what he's planting in the car. Then the officer's camera mysteriously reactivates just as he finds a weed butt on the ground, in the exact same area where the other cop had said he found nothing.

Arrests made. During the case, public defenders show timeline of various videos. The judge advises the police department that the cop testifying should get a lawyer. Case dismissed and sealed. Internal affairs says they found nothing wrong with the police procedure.

The driver of the car spent two weeks in jail awaiting court.

My fiancee's sister is 22 and has no idea how to find anything unless there's an app for it. Like she had no idea how to Google anything, or look on Wikipedia, or even go to the library and find something in the catalogue there. I had similar experiences with early 20 somethings from the smartphone generation at my previous job.

Yeah I have not seen a decrease in prices. They've been hovering well over $3 for months.

Also, I like having smart phones for the maps and rapid access via wifi, but I have yet to live in a place that actually delivers reliable LTE speeds, so for basically everything else I'm pretty indifferent. Sure, I can look up movie showtimes...give me like 8 minutes for the loving page to load a pixel per second despite 4 bars and LTE up top.

Edit: I stand corrected, local gas station has come down to $3.15 cash price. That's a 6 cent decrease in the past month.
