Remember kids, climate change is your fault specifically, and only you can make things better by making your own life harder!

The police are militarized state violence. They enforce the will of the state through the use of violence. That’s not something that can be reformed because it’s inherent to policing. Any effective reform would lead to police not being police.

Still don’t understand how tf you bungle a situation like this so badly.

Step 1: Assume the person is intoxicated
Step 2: Do whatever you want because you’re a cop and you don’t consider drug users people/“something something fentanyl”

They say something like “Lower Decks was made by people who aren’t Trekkies”. TLD has so many bizarre obscure references to past Trek series that I have to assume it was written by the biggest Trek fans ever. Anyone who thinks it was written by non-fans has clearly never even given it a chance.

So the thing about qualified immunity is that unless there’s existing precedent that a cop can’t do this, then cops have immunity. Which is a cool catch 22 because you can’t have existing precedent if every cop who’s ever faced charges/lawsuits for a particular thing has gotten off because there wasn’t already a precedent. It’s an Ouroboros of letting cops do whatever they want.

This is beginning to change in some places, where police chiefs or their higher-ups want nothing to do with overtly shitty cops, but considering these cops have already finished their paid vacation suspension, I don’t think they’ll face any serious charges.

Thanks :)

I’d love to see a study done on the correlation between being a cop and killing animals. I bet there’s a definitive correlation there.

IA is not a sustainable project, and is built as a single point of failure. It has no transparency and no recovery plan if things go bad. Compare that to Anna’s Archive, a project that open sources all of their code and data so that things will continue running even if everyone involved disappears.

Ask yourself: if IA’s data was silently modified, would anyone be able to tell?

and the cheap sluts for violence that marry them.

60% of cops abuse their spouse. These aren’t “sluts for violence”, these are people who can’t leave because their spouse might kill them or at the very least sic other cops on them.

Can I introduce you to qualified immunity?

No, because psychopathy is not a real mental disorder and you won’t find it in the DSM. Either way, I’d be more upset at people killing animals than having an arbitrarily labeled mental illness.

Usually because people don’t start recording until there’s a reason, like police brutality.

Hang on, I’ve read this book before

Not yet, but I’m learning to sew so that I can make my own clothes! The only things I can find in my style just don’t fit or have terrible colors and patterns. With parametric patterns I can make anything I want tailored specifically for my body shape, and I don’t have to spend money I don’t have on things made in unethical abusive sweatshops.

The best resource I’ve found so far is https://freesewing.org. It’s a community based around a piece of software for creating parametric sewing patterns. There aren’t many patterns there yet, but there’s two patterns for underwear and one of the people involved has a youtube channel with some great tutorials https://invidious.perennialte.ch/channel/UCvknI22P32FxprncDmtpWpw

That’s really upsetting to read. Pink News has always been my go-to for trans news. They’ve consistently been the only site I’ve found that accurately and sensitively covers stories other media sites won’t touch. This will have wide-reaching consequences for the state of trans news.

We can’t legislate things until at least one politician is among the tens of thousands of victims, anything else would be socialism communism social justice critical race theory wokeism!

According to the KHP, the allegations stemmed from a pair of interactions between Dawes and a female colleague. In one instance, Dawes reportedly complimented the colleague on her appearance, saying, “how nice it was to see a female really taking care of herself.” A subsequent email from Dawes to the same colleague began with the line, “Just a note to tell you that I think you look absolutely amazing today!” The colleague, who found these remarks inappropriate and perceived them as sexual advances, reported the incidents to her supervisors.

Cis people consider basic compliments to be sexual harassment now? Might as well just ban employees from talking to each other at that point. I’m sure Kansas applies this completely evenly to all employees of all genders, cis or otherwise /s

Thanks for sharing such great art, it’s revived a feeling in me that I didn’t know I’d forgotten.

This one hit me like a brick wall. There’s so much being said, packed into 1.5 megapixels. I don’t even know how to describe what it makes me feel.

If you’ll excuse me, I have to go try that.
