  They don't want to know...

  You really think any of these lawmakers give a rat's a** about truth or whether they actually know what they're talking about? They do not, and they don't even care that they don't. It's all PR. It's performative BS.

  The biggest organized crime/terrorist entity on the planet is US law enforcement. They're all terrorists. All of them. There's no such thing as a "good cop".

  Eat the rich

  Ackman is exhibit one of why there should be no such thing as a billionaire. And why none of them should be admired or given any credence. Such a petulant turd of a man.

• On the post: ExTwitter Accused Of Secretly Boosting Mr. Beast Video With Undisclosed Ad Placements

  The final verdict

  Supposedly Mr. Beast has posted that he got a check from Xitter for $250K from this first video posted there. Does that cover his production costs for the video? But, on a side note, should someone like Mr. Beast make $250K for posting in Xitter? Should anyone?

  Follow the money

  And I bet some particularly interesting skeletons would emerge in Williams closet.

  Long live TPB!

  ARRRR me maties! Of course, TPB still exists but there are even better sources out there, or so I've heard.

• On the post: Police Union Defends Forfeiture By Saying Anyone Carrying A Bunch Of Cash Is Probably A Criminal

  

  Ed ( profile ), 06 Jan, 2024 @ 08:14am

  We can all make assumptions

  For instance, if anyone is wearing a police badge, you can assume they're incompetent and an abuser of the law. You can safely assume they're a dirty cop who will lie, cheat, and steal to make themselves appear superior.

  Police unions are nothing but terrorist organizations. They demonstrate this every day.

  Nope

  My car has a built-in WiFi Hotspot system that I never activated. Why would I pay AT&T a minimum of $30/month to have WiFi in the car when I have unlimited data on my cellphone already?

  Every day there is more evidence that there is no such thing as a "good cop". Even when a cop does a good deed, if you look at their record, you'll see that good deed is an anomaly. They are all rotten to the core.

• On the post: Ohio Cops Respond To Online Sexual Exploitation Report By Offering To Arrest The 11-Year-Old Victim

  

  Ed ( profile ), 30 Sep, 2023 @ 07:32am

  Cops are complicit

  What do you want to bet that in the over-six-hours the cops had to look at this before threatening to arrest an 11-year-old, they discovered the adult culprit was either one of their own or a well-connected person they wanted to protect? I would wager that's very probable.

  Police unions should be considered terrorist organizations,and dealt with accordingly.

• On the post: Starlink Has A Small Fraction Of The Customers It Originally Promised Investors

  

  Ed ( profile ), 15 Sep, 2023 @ 07:03am

  Starlink is comical

  My parents in rural Virginia have put up with horrendous service from CenturyLink for years. The maximum service they could get was 1.5Mbps downlink, 256Kbps uplink DSL. And the service was down more than up, with actual speeds not even half what was advertised. We tried to contact Starlink about service, it took over a year to get any response back. And Starlink wanted over $800 for an equipment lease and site survey before they would even commit to offering service that would cost more than $120 per month. Thankfully, US Cellular began offering fixed wireless internet service, for $49/month and a $50 one-time equipment cost for 200Mbps/20Mbps service that is very reliable. Sorry Starlink, just like everything else from Musk: overpromised and underdelivered.

  Interesting...

  Since I'm not a tinfoil hat wearer, I'll continue to use Google, which works as it should.
