Yeah, it’s not perfect here either, but at least they don’t have people trapped and mislead into thinking it is the truth. It’s the internet, don’t like it GTFO (not you specifically, just readership in general). Fox is all over the place and if you rely on cable for news people are feamongered into rolling with it…

HR training to teach interviewers from being visibly shocked that a negro came in for an interview because they couldn’t write them off because of their name/address

Also: how fucking fucked up is it that our most reliable stats on police shootings are from a British newspaper, because there is a fucking law against the CDC collecting the data?

I think the audience of Colbert’s talk show isn’t the same audience that is actually learning about BLM and then rejecting it with “all lives matter”. This very much might be the first exposure they’ve had that isn’t trying to make BLM out to be a “gang of thugs” and whatnot. If these people see Colbert championing or…

It’s also interesting that Colbert is feeding him questions that I’m sure he already knows the answers to. I think it’s brave of Colbert to play devil’s advocate for the audience in this way because it can be easily interpreted as him being ignorant/ignorantly racist. I think this issue must be very important to him…

I don't think it's that any one conversation is going to be suddenly change a persons way of thinking but the more conversations a person hears, the more likely something is to hit a nerve.

It’s amazing what a conversation can do. Just words. And listening. And acknowledging. Words can solve issues and words can heal/hurt/help. The power of just having a conversation with a person can change things, people, processes, laws, and so much more. Was it shallow? I don’t think so because millions saw that show…

One of the basic tenets of changing people’s beliefs is that if you try to convince someone who believes “1" that they need to believe “10", it doesn’t work. In fact, it backfires - they usually cement further into their end of the spectrum. But if you try to convince someone who is a “1" that they should believe “3",…

Every conversation is an opportunity to change the mind of someone on the fence. I know you cant fix bigotry but with a national conversation we can keep people from getting there.

One doesn’t have to be a liberal to make fun of Fox News.

You’d think that the VAG Group would have the technology to adjust engine settings when the car senses that it’s being run in a static environment and not moving . . . . .

The only problem with that as far as I can see is that some places won’t let you carry in your own parts. I’ve heard that some are fine with it. Find one of those places.

While that is true, I was referring to the use of a service which may as part of its service contract explicitly state you may be recorded. I know most limo services I have contracted (non-uber mind you) have some kind of disclosure about recording devices.

My man, can you at least preface this whole thing with an “I have no idea what I’m talking about”?

I think it’s going to depend on how the law will be interpreted. The wiretap law in CA asks for dual consent. The question is if this instance qualifies under the wiretap law. There are plenty of security cameras in California, and those don’t ask for two party consent.

Thanks for pointing out what should be obvious but, based on wrenching in school and garage ownership...isn’t. Most people don’t realize that the ‘cost-of-goods sold’ (the cost of the materials used in creating the goods along with the direct labor costs used to produce the goods) is around 15%, where the same cost is…

Since you were a dick about it... Supremacy Clause motherfucker.

This actually isn’t the case. Cars in California (at least the cabs) are “in plain view” as far as search and seizure laws are concerned. And there is no law against submitting video as evidence into a case that was taken in public or “in plain view” situations. (Think about how useless surveillance video would be!)…

To hell with that. I hope a Judge just throws this sociopath in jail for wasting the people’s time.

Steve Lehto is correct that legally the Uber driver shouldn’t have posted the video online, but step one in not having a video of you beating up an Uber driver posted online is to not beat up any Uber drivers.
