I feel like doomerism is what happens when people don’t have the power to change the systemic problems they see.

Like 18+thousand people were marching yesterday. Peaceful protest. It was lovely.

Today, BPC/ICE just killed another person in minneapolis for the sole reason that that person stepped up to keep them from brutalizing a woman whose sole offense was being in the area.

Capy finds the scritches… underwhelming, and quite odd; but generally acceptable.

They’re gonna need more than a moment to unpack their own lies about it.

“I feared for my safety so I wasted that [Insert derogatory adjetive][insert derogatory noun]”

Maybe don’t do chaos, huh.

Minnesota Nice? Fuck ICE!

The point of the tactic (part of the Reid technique,) isn’t to get evidence. It’s to get a confession.

The problem is it works by scaring the shit out of the subject in the hopes that they confess to the first person to show some sympathy.

Which, it does work. People subjected to it will eventually confess. The problem is… they may not have actually done it and they’re afraid of all the things bad cop is threatening them with.

It’s also very easy to manipulate someone’s understanding of what happened when they’re in the high stress of an aggressive interrogation.

And just for the record- the cops are allowed to lie to you (at least in the us.), so they can tell you they have evidence they don’t have etc. which is why you need to avail yourself of a lawyer… and say nothing to them.

a moth.

the computer was a Harvard Mark II, though it should be noted that “bug” was used in engineering to refer to flaws in machines since before electronic computers existed, so it might not be the origin, but it’s the first time someone logged finding a bug in a computer,

This is why cops always go with bad cop worse cop.

Chonkadonkdonk… they got junk in da trunk,

In the spirit of “if you can’t fix it, feature it”, the code does have impeccable error recovery,

Agreed. Totally agree.

If only one side ever compromises, it’s not compromise, it’s capitulation.

I’m more in the way of limiting expectations as well as pointing out that every measure, every appointment, every vote is a new battle.

We’re in the place we are because dems have been capitulating for as long as I’ve been voting (longer, probably.)

(I may be pissed at klobechar for voting to confirm appointments.)

Edit to add: maybe they shouldn’t have voted to approve cloture, hmmm?

Just a side note- ICE/BPC is fully funded through the Big Bullshit Bill, so shutting the gooberment down won’t stop the madness.

…that’s awful.

I’m stealing it.

I really want to see someone make a running comic series with a pygmy dressed up in Napoleonic military attire flanked by great greys plotting world domination.

Careful… don’t want the wrath of the short kings.

Its speculated that Trump is obsessed with greenland because he thinks its huge due to map distortion on mercator map projections. A way to show how dumb this is indirectly would be to give out free globes.

Tech bros pulling Stephen Miller’s puppet strings want greenland’s minerals.

Also just a side note, Greenland is roughly 3 times the size of texas. It’s not exactly “small”, even if mercator maps do make it look significantly larger than it is. (comparably to africa, lol.)

Preferably in a ship built by amazon warehouse laborers.

Basically, he focused on needs for NYers.

-childcare, busing for kids, rent controls.

Also watch anything with him out and about. Like. He’s very genuine where most politicians have that “photo op smile.”

But I’m willing to bet most will still support those operations.

Exactly how most of the German army didn’t massacre its citizens, but still supported the units who did.

You march to a Nazis wardrum, yer a Nazis.

You come to my state. My city, under what the Nazis Leader has called an “invasion”, you’re not on the right side of history.
