So one of the cops shot the other cop in the torso? Talk about a well trained police force. It’s like something out of Naked Gun. And clearly the cops being there clearly made the situation much worse and injured more people. These stooges should never carry a gun again.

I’m sure NYC will be on the hook for a few lawsuits out of this one situation alone that will at least get into the low millions! Great job NYPD for a subway fare!

It’s really insane if you listen to Reagan talking about immigrants being the strength of the nation and keeping the USA young and growing. And how if we ever stop with immigration or would ruin the country.

Assuming the link works, this is a great resource of research papers on the topic - https://www.givedirectly.org/cash-evidence-explorer/

They were searching backpacks and lockers in my high school back in the 90’s, student privacy has been dead for a long time. And at the same time they let students keep rifles in their cars on school grounds during hunting season so those students could hunt before school. There’s no real logic at work, just school boards reacting.

Coming soon is the defense that is all Russia is doing in Ukraine.

The poor Russians just weren’t equipped to deal with the consequences of a war they started, just like poor Germany. /s

But also you’d probably react differently if the police showed up to your house because your kid made threats about shooting people. Like you wouldn’t then go buy them a gun for Christmas, regardless of how well you stored it.

Abuse doesn’t really jump out to me, more like denial.

And sadly it’s been this way for decades. Rachel Corrie was run over by a bulldozer in 2003 and nothing changed then, and it won’t change anything now.

I didn’t thinking that idea was still in dispute. There have been multiple studies in this area. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3543069/

It’s because the news media industry as a whole has stuck with Twitter as their primary social media site. It’s kinda hilarious how much they seem to like it and how much time they spend there.

I wonder if the DoJ actually does split up Google if separating Chrome would make any difference with behavior like this?

Duh, that’s why I said that in the first sentence, it’s not for everyone.

Not trying to discount anyone’s situation, but if you are in the USA and have the option, move out of the bigger cities and into the countryside. Land is cheap, houses can still be cheap and in some areas there aren’t enough people to live in the houses so they are super cheap. Buy a house with the land, work remotely since high speed Internet is everywhere more or less. I live in a super small town that was crushed by NAFTA and only the local hospital keeps the community alive since it brings in a lot of good jobs.

Just remember the DoD have the troops and get all the budget money, the VA have the veterans that don’t get shit! If the DoD budget didn’t have to go up every year then maybe we could actually have money for other things.

A steam deck with a mouse and keyboard is kind of horrible, I have tried that. And maybe things have changed, how well does Steam OS do as a primary OS? I might look into it again.

Server side ads sound more expensive for Google to me. I’ll just use some future plugin that blacks out the screen or whatever if it comes to that.

I can sympathize but I hate using the controller setup, I’m definitely a mouse and keyboard person. For better or worse I’m stuck with Windows unless Steam comes out with a desktop or something.

It costs what $30k a year to keep someone in prison? Great use to taxpayer money for that $100 theft.

There is no learning, companies just move to different antivirus. The new hotness, the cycle repeats over and over until the new antivirus does this same shit. Look at McAfee in 2010, in fact the CEO of Crowdstrike was the CTO of McAfee then. That easily took down millions of windows XP machines.

I mean, Microsoft themselves regularly shits the bed with updates, even with Defender updates. It’s the nature of security, they have to have that kind of access to stop legit malware. That’s why these kind of outages happen every few years. This one just got to much coverage from the banking and airline issues. And I’m sure future outages will continue to get similar coverage.

But the Crowdstrike CEO was also at McAfee in 2010 when they shit the bed and shut down millions of XP machines so it seems like he needs a different career…

All of the security vendors do it over enough time. McAfee used to be the king of them.
