Epstein was no idiot. Keeping some incriminating shit to use as leverage is smart scumbag 101.

Previously they didn’t have half of Congress and the Supreme Court willing to rubber stamp everything up to and including outright treason.

Most of the victims have gone public and said they don’t even care about redacting their names, they just want the files made public.

There will be no introspection.

They think Born in the USA is a patriotic song.

They listen to Rage Against the Machine without a second thought.

Probably the only ICE agent within 1000 miles that knows Puerto Ricans are US Citizens. And only because he is.

The same way any vehicle doesn’t let people just drive off… a key. Either in the form of a key fob/key card… Or a phone key paired to the vehicle.

Not sure if you’re trying to argue that modern social media is a good thing… Because it really isn’t. All of these platforms are actively detrimental to our mental health and destabilizing society. All of them have their billionaire owners manipulating the algorithms to maximize what they want you to see and minimize opposing views, if not outright removing them (like Meta is doing with the ICE List currently).

To be honest, coming from a near-launch Tesla Model 3 into the current EV market… most alternatives available in the US suck for various reasons.

I had a Polestar 3, which was great, until the AC was inconsistent on the Driver side. Only had it for 45 days before it was in for Service at Volvo 150 miles away… And has been there since last April. Still paying on it every month and having to maintain insurance… I’m still trying to get it returned as a lemon via lawyers now nearly 9 months later. In the interim I went through several Volvo, Kia, Mercedes, and Hyundai EV rentals, and talking to a coworker who has an EV Mustang. All of them felt like EV afterthoughts made just so they could say they have EV options.

The American brands almost exclusively use the same base vehicles and even interiors as their non-EV options and thus there are arbitrary things that just don’t need to be there and make it feel like they’re just making a car to say they have one (which is exactly what they’re doing).

For instance, my biggest pet peeve is having a Start/Stop button as if the thing still had an engine. There’s no need to have it since the cars are on all the time anyway. Its just an unnecessary step both when getting in and leaving the car. And it artificially prevents you from interacting with the vehicle like rolling down windows or the roof cover while it’s “off”. It’s small, but just shows it wasn’t designed to be an EV, they just took the same shit from before and dropped an EV powertrain in and called it a day.

Several brands also use the same outsourced platform like GM’s Ultima platform. So every one of those vehicles feels the same regardless of the brand it’s under, or the slightly different exteriors. The interiors are nearly identical and use GM parts regardless of brand. The Honda Prologue that I got after my Model 3 while waiting to see about new offerings in a few years, doesn’t feel like a Honda at all. It drives and feels like a Chevy Blazer. Because it is.

The only EVs I’ve driven that actually felt like they took advantage of being an EV were from EV companies, no legacy automakers. Tesla, Polestar, Lucid, Rivian. Everyone else the vehicle felt like an afterthought, especially after driving a Tesla for nearly 5 years, and those were often at 1.5-2x the cost for fewer bells and whistles. My current Prologue purchased before the EV credits went away was almost the same cost as my Model 3 back in 2018, and it’s nowhere near the same quality or capability. And that’s saying something if you know Tesla quality.

Most of the money ‘lost’ to piracy is money that never existed. With fragmented streaming services one picks what they are paying for and needs to find a way to watch the rest.

This was the very first thing that came to my mind. How much of this “lost” revenue from piracy is actually revenue they lost because the content isn’t available legally where it is being consumed?

It’s not about no plugin support… It’s about Chroma and Manifest V3 crippling adblocking plugin capabilities.

I wonder if they’ll love spamming the Epstein and ICE links now that the USA monitors and censors those.

Yes. They will. Because it’s not about who the aggressor is. If you aren’t able to figure that out, then you really should look at getting a better real world education and not just sitting in your mom’s basement, or propaganda mill, it’s hard to tell the difference nowadays. The neck eards keep regurgitating the same talking points the astroturfing farm drones do.

A friendly reminder that the act of doxxing is not illegal. Neither is collating information. Nothing ICE List does is illegal.

It’s just a fundamental threat to the current administration and the billionaire class.

a short lived USB connector type B

Not short lived at all, it’s literally one of the three standard connectors alongside A and C. USB is an inherently directional protocol, so one side if the host device and the other is the peripheral device. The difference between Type A and B plugs helped enforce that directionality. Prior to the C connector becoming the new standard regardless of direction, all USB cables had both a Type-A and Type-B connector. (A to A cables violate the spec, and are an abomination).

The miniUSB and microUSB connectors are both Type-B connectors, just physically smaller to accommodate smaller peripheral devices. There’s also technically a mini-A and micro-A, but they’re very uncommon since host devices are usually large enough for a full size plug, and now USB 3.0+ Type-C connections don’t require a directional cable the same way.

Being a federal officer doesn’t mean your exempt from state laws. Murder is still a state crime.

So don’t detain them, arrest them for it. Have them argue they should maintain their immunity with that video evidence in front of a judge.

You can’t just execute people because you want to either. Yet here we are.

Fuck ICE.

Let the courts decide while the murderer waits in jail.

Minnesota needs to grow a pair.

Say that any incident involving violence and ICE will result in a mandatory 24 hour detainment of involved officers for a basic initial investigation by the state. 24 hours is enough to get videos of the event and a general idea of what happened to either hold someone longer or determine whether it was at least minimally justified.

Police can already detain anyone for 24 hours essentially without cause. Fucking use it.

If this were any other situation with these videos, the murderer would already be arrested.

Judges will often comment specifically in cases like this when decisions are made based on the very specific details of a case versus general case law that might form a general precedent in the future.

Where the fuck do you get that idea? Because there are more cameras? Because that’s about the only thing more police state than giving every Tom, Dick, and Harry with a badge, a gun, and minimal oversight.

The NRA started the anti-gun movement in California alongside Reagan. In response to the Black Panthers carrying while copwatching as they did similar shit to the Black neighborhoods in the 1960s.

The NRA will back it no problem. They have before.
