But you also have to understand you’re part of an institution that doesn’t exactly have the greatest reputation, and trying to be the lone savior of that reputation in this thread will only 100% serve to frustrate you and is probably not worth it. People here don’t like cops. They have reasons for feeling that way. Running in and “NOT ALL COPS!”ing the discussion is just throwing gasoline on the fire (and yes, that is what you were doing). oh gently caress off you condescending twatwaffle

If anyone hasn’t watched Jon Stewart’s most recent 911 first responder speech to Congress, you should.

Re: John Stewart, I’m glad he called out all the assholes who didn’t show up but made sure to post #neverforget in their twitters. I hate that we(Americans, particularly the right) use first responders, military, etc. so readily as political pawns and then poo poo on them when it counts. I don’t understand how more people in those communities aren’t left leaning given how bad the VA, or 9/11 survivors are treated all the while hugging flags and proudly singing the national anthem despite not knowing the words. Re: China, so right now I’m working in the IC on some stuff with machine learning applications. I’ve been reading a lot of open source white papers in one specific field and happened to go down a rabbit hole when I started looking at the PRC’s research. Lots of stuff specifically looking to find minorities or dissenting Han. Creepy stuff like generating facial profiles based on touch DNA. Russia has some similar things for their anti-lgbtq work, but no where to the same degree.

9/11 isn't useful unless you're using it to justify hate or start a stupid war.

I used to be one of those people that was like "cops are good and our friends and protect us from criminals!" That changed after I served in my national guard unit and realised the...50ish odd folks I knew who served in a variety of LE departments across a major metropolitan area, were bullies who got off on it. "I love being a cop because I get a badge and a gun and I get to gently caress with people and they can't do anything about it." -literal quote from someone I served with who was a cop in civilian life. He was far from the only one to espouse views like this. Soooo......if cops want folks to stop thinking they're assholes, maybe.....they should stop being assholes? ::shrugs::

Ahh that's why my dad was able to do 80-90 miles a day pretty much all last week on his bicycle trip. He went from crossing the NC/VA border last Tuesday to DC on Friday/Saturday and then a few miles south of Baltimore on Monday. It was all on rural roads to avoid traffic, seems pretty scenic too.

Dwanyelle posted:I used to be one of those people that was like "cops are good and our friends and protect us from criminals!" Maybe they were assholes because they're in the military? Like, they probably just wanted to kill babies and stuff. The cop thing was just a bonus chance to slay someone. I had a national guard guy in my academy. Literal quote from him "joining the department is just another chance to slay". Hes fired now, thank God. I think the army kept him though. I wish their standards were as high as my departments.

If it had been me who'd made it I would have gone for gold. Have Zuck talk about how he's an enthusiastic pedophile and make allusions to the skin suit he's been making in his spare time.

Phone posting but my guess is that’s not a deep fake. It’s more akin to augmented reality using a canny algorithm to replace his mouth, and his voice isnt remotely his. Surprising since the zuck has enough audio/video out there to just generate his actual voice easily.

Facebook blocked people from sharing a Lifehacker post on how to find out what and download the data Facebook has on you. This is all publicly available information; Facebook just didn’t like people getting concise instructions as to how to access that data within their opaque privacy settings. But yeah, Facebook will definitely block this, but not before releasing a video of Zuck saying, “Can you believe that I, your very human best friend, would ever say such horrible things? You can continue to trust me since I’m your very human best friend. Between us best human friends, Facebook never needs to be broken up or subjected to regulatory authority.”

Current event: Gaia shall purge the human virusquote:Shortly after scientists first noticed signs of thaw in the early 1970s, they rushed to monitor emissions of the two most influential greenhouse gases — carbon dioxide and methane. But until recently, the threat of the third-most-prevalent gas, nitrous oxide (N2O) — known in dentistry as laughing gas — has largely been ignored.
