  You know how there was a federal database of bad cops, until they nuked it, perhaps it is time to start one for tech. Oh well 2 of the founders have a history of bricking devices, this one one uses the surprise paywall for basic features 6 months in. Imagine if it was easy to find out if the team behind the device were the type of people who screw customers to line their pockets. No one else is going to help the consumers, so self help it is.

  Well someone knows hes getting primaried and decided to add some more to his retirement package. There is no other logical reason at all for these actions, other than he is getting a reward for fscking the citizens over. I hope he breaks his hip.

• On the post: Michigan Appeals Court Says State’s ‘Terroristic Threat’ Statute Is Unconstitutional

  

  That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 21 Feb, 2025 @ 03:36am

  This is what happens when you get a bunch of fake bomb threats called into by a bunch of stupid children & the state decides to make a law to punish them extra hard... and fscks it up. It does not help that in a nation where school shootings happen regularly, that the mere threat of the idea sends them scurrying because they've done nothing & expected different results. 2 men were murdered in FL because dude thought they looked Palestinian. Teen knocks on the wrong door, gets shot. Homeowner lies his ass off. Woman steals property from neighbor's children, screams slurs at them, shoots neighbor through door when she is knocking, screaming she was scared. Dude cuts dude off, gunfire erupts. Maybe one should focus more on teaching people that just because someone upset you doesn't mean you can murder them. Maybe focus on how schools say they won't tolerate bullying, but never actually mean it if it might hurt the sportsball team. We've done fsckall dealing with actual issues & we're up to adding armored sliding walls in classrooms, ai metal detectors, more cops, more camera, more spying... but not a single one of these things ever examines why did the shooter shoot, what were the missed chances? I mean if you get bullied every day for 2 years & the adults refuse to do anything about it you might get mad about how unfair it is and how they are allowing some people to have special rights and get pissed off enough to shoot up the school. But gee, a detention for the ring leaders of the bullying might be a wake up call to them that its not acceptable and your actions have consequences.

  Of course it will not matter what the reports & evidence show, because the faithful can not be swayed from dear leader. meanwhile we'll have russia and china playing chess with each other trying to muddle the field, but trump is in power there is very little a hostile nation could do to screw us over more than we did to ourselves.

  YouGov @YouGov: One in eight men (12%) say they could win a point in a game of tennis against 23 time grand slam winner Serena Williams One in eight men think they could take a point off Serena Williams Do you think if you were playing your very best tennis, you could win a point off Serena Williams? Confident in my ability to properly tennis, I take the court. I smile at my opponent. Serena does not return the gesture. She'd be prettier if she did, I think. She serves. The ball passes cleanly through my skull, killing me instantly the meme it exists

  Electing people who are still spicy over buggy whip makers being put out of business by the fad of those damn motorized cars MIGHT have a downside. I'm starting to think all of those movies where something kills off all of the adults & leaves kids in danger all alone were just propaganda so we'd keep putting the old ones in charge to keep us ramming that iceburg with the ship because this time it will be unsinkable. The children would never do any of the things we were warned about!! WHY ARE THE CHILDREN DOING THIS?! WHY DID NO ONE WARN US?! Perhaps it is time we all get some loose change out of the sofa, chip in and buy a whole bunch of "anonymized" user data & start exposing the secrets of our elected officials. As I have noted many times before, until it happens to them it is not a problem. Y'all mock me but I wasn't wrong that humans are fscking stupid, maybe donate the cost of half a latte so we can publish the list of moral family first politicians hitting up the gay strip clubs.

• On the post: Court To Cops: If You Can’t Prove A Warrant Existed, You Can’t Expect Us To Consider It ‘Valid’

  

  That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 10 Jan, 2025 @ 09:55pm

  "Either the system is deliberately broken, or the testifying cops were playing fast and loose with the facts." Why not both dot gif No one can claim, with a straight face, that all cops are truthful... yet courts magically treat them as mystical incorruptible beings & ignore things like the officer never being in court b/c the DA doesn't want to suborn perjury. I thought I smelled pot, my training tells me black people are always crimeing (but cleaned up slightly), etc etc etc are all little lies we all over look to make old white people feel safer & we thought we had a warrant is just a new expansion of the deference they expect to get from courts. I mean they can literally murder people on tape & face no charges meanwhile people end up in prison based on they smelled pot & planted drugs on them (when they could find their drop drugs in the cruisers cup holder) without a blink. That we've always done it this way & we can't dare change it now!!! Until cops start dropping more white folks in questionable situations everyone seems to think the system works like it should.

  Can someone just cherry pick the data of a few congress critters already? Until it happens to them, its not a problem. Showing them having dinner with a lobbyist, going to a show, hopping on a private flight they might becomes afraid that someone will mistake them for SCOTUS justices. Gee this phone leaves the russian embassy & meets with these congressmen for 2 hours at a hotel... wonder what that could be.

• On the post: Kentucky Police Kill Innocent Man While Serving Warrant At Wrong Address

  

  That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 09 Jan, 2025 @ 02:06am

  I was watching one of those YT compilation videos of cops getting owned by people... Cops walk up, ring doorbell, knock on door, hear a dog, look in window talk about how they hadn't even moved any of their stuff. As they are drilling out the lock on the door, the owner asks them what the fsck they are doing breaking into her home. They claim she knows she is being evicted because they were there recently and served the papers. She goes off on them, leaves her job & heads home. The cop & the locksmith leave the area of the front door and look up at the address on the garage. The locksmith states they are fscked, its the wrong fscking address. The house they wanted was several doors down. The cops try to portray the homeowner as unreasonable upset for their bodycams, well we didn't go in and touch your dogs lady trying to dodge her asking them what the fsck they thought they were doing drilling her door out partially & now she can not access her home at all, they then decide that they will replace the lock free of charge. At least 2 of the cops on scene were the ones who went out & served the eviction notice on the correct home some times before & decided since both places they could hear dogs barking so they were totally the same place. o_O Its almost like if they know they can do anything & not face even strong language they don't need to door the bare minimum to do the job, like look at the piece of paper & the numbers on the house to make sure they match. I'm sure they would have claimed officer safety if the homeowner had been home & tried to defend themselves from intruders breaking into their home (that they weren't being evicted from).

• On the post: Always-On School Surveillance Tech Is Sending Cops To Deal With At-Risk Students

  

  That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 08 Jan, 2025 @ 03:46am

  So the kids stopped using their school laptops, so we made a law to force them to use them. So the kids invented new words, so we forced them to decode them. Can't you see how serious we are taking this, we refuse to have a relationship built on trust & instead we will mine everything you do on the laptop for any hint of a problem happening. This is for your own good, this totally won't make you resent us more, oh and if you are in a red state we've added a bunch of terms because the law requires we out you to your parents if you are questioning your gender or sexuality so they can send you off to a camp that will "fix" you and then we can all be shocked when you kill yourself days after returning from Camp BStr8

• On the post: Twitter Briefly Blocked The NY Post, Elon Cried Foul. Now He’s Doing Far Worse

  

  That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 06 Jan, 2025 @ 10:40am

  Twitter only has 1 rule. Don't upset Elmo. What was perfectly fine 5 minutes ago now is an affront to your lord & master!! When he does it, its thoughtful and considered. When they do it, its a crime against humanity & silencing conservative voices (if fscking only). He lacks the awareness to understand that if its a rule its a rule for everyone even the one with all the gold. His skin is so very thin that he flips out each and everytime people mention factual things about his electric death trap company, his constant stream of promises that never happen, & his unhinged takes about how he could do things better... (like use subtandard parts & telling his staff to blame the consumers for using the death traps wrong when it breaks)

  I started reading and I thought for sure it would be Karen who managed to start a riot... Unhinged seems to be the standard to which humans now adhere. Shocking - gay people exist, transpeople exist. If their mere existence causes you so much pain, maybe move to russia or another openminded country. Maybe if you focused on teaching your children how the world actually is rather than some imagined great time period like the pre-war south where people KNEW their place, you might actually help them succeed in life where other people have the same fucking rights if you want them to or not.
