They like free speech that doesn’t get them immediately banned, not free speech for everyone else’s ideas

My dad was a dispatcher and if your center is anything like his you guys are overworked and overlooked way too often. Thanks for all you do!

Tell them it was a mistake, not an accident lol

I had a friend of mine bump the emergency assistance button in a rental car, and when he told them it was an accident they were like “how bad is anybody hurt?” and all that

The reason why police have a ton of “militarized” equipment us because the military puts a lot of gear up for sale as surplus. Our county sheriffs picked up an old hummvee and MRAP for practically nothing.

Cybertrucks aren’t mil surp. Maybe years from now but not anytime soon

The OSS has a similar manual. This one may even be just a rebranding of the same thing. Essentially how to be a super shitty employee.

My favorite part was going to meetings and saying to think things over and wait until next meeting to finalize anything and use proper procedure no matter what. The idea is to make even the smallest most obvious decisions a bueaucratic slog. Shitty management and office politics 101

He was already president once, anything post 2016 is probably noted.

And some people just never EVER shut up about them so there’s plenty of noise to hide in

Being aware of local and state government is always a good thing to do and so much stuff is streamed since Covid. It makes you an informed voter and it’s where most of the stuff that impacts you will take place. Marijuana is one example of the impact of state law winning out despite federal law.

Reach out in any form you choose. Get to know them and what they stand for through their actions. Explain how things will effect you and people you know. Like anywhere else being an asshole is not the way to go. You might not change their mind but reminding them that everyday voters are paying attention has an effect even if you respectfully disagree.

Yeah I did! I’m hoping my library get the book. Hell I might buy it, read it and donate it after

If a nuclear missile is launched at the United States the President has just 6 minutes to come to terms with that and decide to launch a counter attack or not.

If that counter attack is headed to North Korea, any land based missiles will head over the arctic circle, over Russian airspace where similar shoot/no shoot decisions will have to be made in a similar timeframe.

I’ve never been tased but I strongly suspect it would be taser, tear gas, pepper spray from best to worst. The effects of pepper spray is intense and long lasting, even when you shower after pepper spray will leave your pores and hit your face again, and maybe even run down to your junk if you aren’t careful

This community is called YouShouldKnow not YouShouldDoSomethingAboutThis

You have the info and you can care as much or as little as you like

I want this for android phones and chrome, gmail etc without jumping through hoops

Email spam is already bad enough I don’t need that shit built in

Anything a government (or company) puts out can be seen as propaganda. Nobody is going to talk shit on themselves if they can avoid it.

And yes govt tech usually has a military origin and is part of a race against other militaries. Rocket motors, missile guidance systems, satellite imagery, gps, computers, encryption, the internet. It’s already well underway for AI. Just because they have their start in military application or global competition doesn’t mean they aren’t rad as hell or not worth learning about.

If you don’t want to watch it, nobody is forcing you to.

I think what they’re getting at is that majority does not neccesarily rule in the US. You can have an election where a majority of voters go one way but the electoral college (your representation) goes another.

Idk why they want to harp on that right now but whatever.

Since RIF went down I’ve read a lot more. Some dry history stuff, a few thrillers, a re-read of a book I initially read in High School and now The Hobbit for the first time.

If anyone here doesn’t know your local library probably has access to different ebook apps. Mine mainly does libby and a few others too. Anyway it helps your library, and you get to read all kinds of stuff for free.

OG Ghost Recon too! The into video to that game sounds pretty familiar these days

Absolutely, I want some old school trust busting. We need it badly

It’s still a step in the right direction, and the justice department better get used to it because there’s a LOT of corporations that need taken down a peg

Is there anything wrong with it?
