- Comment on Bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do 8 minutes ago:
There are many, many, places all over the US that basically fund their local government by pulling over people who don’t live there, and fining them. They absolutely abuse their authority to do this. There are so many infractions, many very vaguely worded, and broad, the cops can basically pull over anyone, just because they want to, and they do. There are also plenty of people out there with long standing video evidence of being harassed by the police, because the cops don’t like legal things they do, or don’t like their families.

If you think this is the end of these programs, prepare to be wrong.

Its my honor
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 days ago:
It is still more spartan than plex, more of a media library serving framework only. However even people who aren’t particularly well adjusted to tech (like my 75 yo mom), don’t seem to have an issue using it once it is set-up, and younger people with marginal tech expertise seem to be able to set up a server, and clients, with a little time on google. People complain about it not working on a lot of smart TV OSs, but I have not run into this, at least with the most popular ones, Roku, WebOS, TVOS, Google tv, Samsung, Vizio, however I have not tried it with an Apple TV. The biggest complaints I have personally received are mostly secondary features like polished library management interfaces.

- Comment on Elon Musk's Social Platform X has filed a lawsuit agains Minnesota, challenging a law banning political deepfakes 1 week ago:
Well, this is a solid admission that they are going to use deep fakes to influence elections.
- Comment on The Left has blocked young white men from publishing novels 1 week ago:
could it be the focused manosphere type propagandizing of men?
Books, higher education, art, etc, are all looked at negatively by this social influence sphere. If you go into academics, it better be STEM/business/law and none of this limp-wristed liberals arts shit. You should be working out, working yourself to death, shooting guns, smoking cigars, and treating women like objects. None of this pussy reading for fun shit.

Yes, commissar

From what I am to understand it will be finally requiring the Real ID be implemented everywhere, and everyone needs to carry that, or a passport.
- Comment on California’s Regulations, Not Price Gouging, Cause High Gas Prices, USC Study Finds 4 weeks ago:
ohhh, yeah the media bias apps, and services, are not really, truly reliable either. When you dig into any of them they become more and more suspect. From being owned by questionable entities, to just being incompetently run.
- Comment on California’s Regulations, Not Price Gouging, Cause High Gas Prices, USC Study Finds 4 weeks ago:
To put some emphasis on something aow said, Falun Gong is a cult. This publication is literally owned by a cult.
- Comment on I’m new to Lemmy 1 month ago:
Unfortunately I stopped going to reddit for sports info before I left. I just kept running into increasingly toxic people, over what is such a low stakes subject. It wasn’t just reddit, I also gave up on televised sports because watching sports feels like I am watching ads that are occasionally broken up by bumps of sports. Even friends who are WAY more into sports have pretty much given up on watching them. Also, the way that sports is handled across streaming platforms I find enraging.
- Comment on I’m new to Lemmy 1 month ago:
The only thing I miss about reddit are the large, academic subject specific subs, that tightly moderate their subs to make sure that as many of the posts/answers are from accredited people, or that the post seems to check out when they look the subject up. r/askhistorians for example.
- Comment on "They basically want to kill me": GOP efforts to turn Musk into a MAGA martyr are backfiring 1 month ago:
Nobody has a good view of insurance. Views on Elon, and his companies, are far more mixed. So it isn’t impossible. Even today there are a LOT of morons who basically see him as the messiah.
- Comment on "They basically want to kill me": GOP efforts to turn Musk into a MAGA martyr are backfiring 1 month ago:
The left could do nothing but kill themselves in the service of making right wing people’s lives better and they would still call them the violent left.
- Comment on Politico swept up in USAID scandal as records show government paid $8.2 million to left-leaning news site 2 months ago:
Yeah, all our news media sucks, but right wing media has become like a caricature of a dystopian novel’s government’s propaganda bureaucrat
- Comment on Politico swept up in USAID scandal as records show government paid $8.2 million to left-leaning news site 2 months ago:
Yes, their office paid for a service they provide that is not their news paper, nor was it just given to them. It also is no where near 8 million dollars. Beyond that, politico offers services that almost everyone in congress, GOP or DNC, pays for, that has nothing to do with their news paper
- Comment on Politico swept up in USAID scandal as records show government paid $8.2 million to left-leaning news site 2 months ago:
Turns out, this isn’t true. Shocker.
- Comment on A MAGA star is born! On her first day, Trump's sparkling new press secretary Karoline Leavitt, age 27, hits the 'legacy media' with brilliantly barbed remark 2 months ago:
Yes, a good job, looking like a deer in headlights when actual hard questions about Trump’s decisions came forth, like cutting medicare
- Comment on A MAGA star is born! On her first day, Trump's sparkling new press secretary Karoline Leavitt, age 27, hits the 'legacy media' with brilliantly barbed remark 2 months ago:
If any quote in that article is seen as a “brilliantly barbed remark” by the person who wrote that headline, they are barely literate.
It is the dm though, so the person who wrote the headline probably didn’t even know what the article said. Her responses at the press conference could have been better scripted by children.
- Comment on Abbott, Patrick break fundraising records in 2024 3 months ago:
Nah, they cheer it on while the majority of their rural residents have similar levels of access to medical as Guatemala, the immigrants are still going to be used to do the labor, and when they aren’t it will be because they have finally broken the average citizen’s QOL to the point where they will be exploited on the level of people who have to flee where they are born, as they are that desperate.
- Comment on The State of Lemmy (drama) 3 months ago:
Yeah, the place i had originally read it now shows a retraction based on a bad report, replied a little further down
- Comment on The State of Lemmy (drama) 3 months ago:
This was actually the next link down, but the one I went to post retracted since I read it. So yes, my post was in correct.
- Comment on The State of Lemmy (drama) 3 months ago:
this is a nitpick, but Trump actually closely lost the popular vote once all sources were fully accounted for.
- Comment on The Progressive Left's Glossary Of Terms, 2024 Edition 4 months ago:
Yeah, Zero Hedge has been a loser online for a long time now. Completely the model of “it’s just dark humor/the truth, not my fault you can’t handle it!” and then absolutely melts down over criticism
