In 2014, former EA head John Riccitiello took over as CEO.

No doubt. That’s part of the system being broken. If the system is broken, it doesn’t matter if there are ‘good’ cops operating within it. The outcome will always be twisted and warped by the system itself.

The police and conservatives are hand-in-glove allies — the police enforce conservative tyranny, and conservatives give the police a blank check and a free pass to ‘enforce’ their laws however the police see fit. But it doesn’t end there. Conservatives attract awful people, and law enforcement attracts awful people,…

Because scams will always be the easiest way to make money, and the people who *SHOULD* be stopping these scams are in league with the scammers.

I keep asking myself, “If they don’t respect the bodily autonomy and rights of others, why should anyone respect theirs?”

If the SCOTUS can unilaterally throw out 50 years of case laws and precedents, then the law ceases to have any meaning, and the SCOTUS has no meaning either, because the country isn’t being governed by the rule of law anymore. It’s governed by the rule of man, and the ‘law’ is whatever the people at the top say it is.…

It’s amazing how people who so freely and happily trample the rights of others are the loudest complainers when even the faintest whiff of the possibility something might transgress any of their rights.

The reasons for this kind of nonsense boils down to

Both parties tend to be pretty united behind protecting corporate profit margins. They just happen to disagree on *which* corporations to protect.

Pssshh...wait till they get a look at the semi-sentient bacterium, Presidentus Trumpius.

All of this. 70m Americans thought that Trump did such a fantastic job as president that he deserved a 2nd term, and were willing to overthrow the government to make it happen. Even when over a million Americans died under Trump’s incompetent, brazenly corrupt watch. And even to this day, neither they nor he see…

Rooting for or decrying either side is a ‘cutting your nose off to spite your face’ proposition. Elon is a horrible person. AT&T, which owns Dish, is owned and run by equally, if not worse people.

It isn’t any one thing, really. But he’s right that the fetishization of law enforcement creates an illusion of competence of morality that doesn’t exist in reality. You have a perverse incentive structure with police unions and union dues where the priority is to keep every officer employed, no matter what, because…

Gee, let’s look at the scenarios here:

Tread? **** that. At this point, they should be flattened by fleets of buses.

No, it won’t. It’s less than a rounding error of a rounding error. There are far bigger, much easier targets to deal with long before ‘rocket launches’ should even enter the conversation.

Yeah, but what else are you going to do with your hundreds of space grenades? Think of the Space Grenade (tm) employees! They’ve got to feed their families...so you can rob them blind before blowing them up!

based on her location she was likely Adivasi, an indigenous group, who’ve faced poverty and displacement in India

The notion of blockchain being ‘decentralized’ was always a farce. A small part of the system is decentralized, in the same way that a banks are decentralized — just the customer-size of the enterprise. The majority of it is not, and just so happens to be owned by, you guessed it, bank-like consortiums of obscenely…

Cops...lying to protect their asses? I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you!
