- Comment on Shooting an unarmed woman who was just trying to walk home: just LAPD things 2 weeks ago:
That is for 37mm foam that splits on the ground to spread at the crowd, they are primarily using 40mm foam with a metal core, if you bounce it off the ground it can rotate and impact with the hard plastic backing, which is likely how the UK journalist who required calf surgery was injured. It’s specifically recommended not to bounce them but to aim near the naval, arms or legs.

The capitalists wanted it, and with influence on media and culture instilled it into us as the ideal. We are fighting to change it.
- Comment on The Los Angeles Police Department shot an Australian reporter with a rubber bullet while she was live on TV. Zero provocation. 2 weeks ago:
Are you saying it doesn’t matter if the majority of people are against a fascist regime? In many countries that probably would be true, but the US is massive and spread out with millions of guns and many state agencies that might not be as sympathetic to these sorts of crackdowns or would oppose a militant escalation against protests. It’s not just the right who have guns also, nearly all political tendencies recognize the need to be armed. An anti-government insurgency would look much different here than what we’ve seen in the past.

People on the side of the cops will learn soon they are on the wrong side of polite society, and the wrong side of history.

There are some laws that even cops can’t ignore, such as the law of gravity when a brick is in the air.
- Comment on Meta shareholders overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to explore adding Bitcoin to the company's treasury, with less than 1% voting in favor of the measure 3 weeks ago:
If you spent $10 every ten minutes, it would take you about 70 days to go through $1 million. To reach a billion would take 190 years.
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 3 weeks ago:
Not the best sources, a phone smuggled by a South Korean-based organization that is funded by the US National Endowment for Democracy and reported by state owned BBC, both of which are enemies of NK, and nothing in this article is verifiable. I’m not saying this to promote anything about NK but just from a journalistic perspective this article doesn’t prove much.
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 3 weeks ago:
Has everyone forgotten about the NSA and their absurdly massive data centers? At least a portion of the US population likely has substantial data from their tech in a database we can’t access.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 4 weeks ago:
Yeah and they’re all fucking losers, it really feels like the vast majority of people don’t care about whatever these online people say ‘woke’ is. It’s the same as complaining about “political correctness gone mad”, affirmative action, etc, the same complaints they’ve had about social progress for decades. Nothing about these youtubers is new or worth dignifying with a response.
- Comment on Is it weird to juggle in the park? 1 month ago:
I walked through a park just a bit ago and there was a juggling group performing. There’s also a person in my city that hula hoops continuously while dancing around downtown, often on rollerskates. It’s all a delight to see in our typical modern hell scape, even if they weren’t good at it, I enjoy people having fun.
