Lurker > Annihilated

Eh I don't hate the idea as much as I used to but it still seems inefficient af for the gov't to take my money and then give it back instead if just letting me keep it.

Do you not see a connection between too much time spent working and being deprived of community?

That's why I believe that if people had more say over how they spend their time, they would choose to do things that make them happy. People in the US are unhappy because they spend their entire lives working and don't have any leisure time. The structured 40 hour work week is a depression factory and culturally destructive.

There has to be a happy medium between 40 and 0 hours. I do believe that spending some time doing shit you don't want to do is good for you. You may want to play vidya 24/7, but it's not going to make you a happy person.

You act like the media is the only source of information, but it is very unusual for suicides to be public in the first place, regardless of method.

You'd have a point if you could actually show that people hanging themselves in public areas was already a normal thing, otherwise you're just making a baseless assumption.

Maybe they could just raise it with inflation every year to keep people satisfied.

Time to oneself. Not having to worry about making rent. Not having to worry about being able to eat. Freedom to travel. Freedom to actually form communities now that you're not stuck in a stale office for more than half of your waking hours. Freedom to make art without having to worry about monetizing it. Freedom to be bad at things.
Do you really have no concept of a life outside of work?

This

$1000 a month per person isn't going to be enough to keep people out of work. If anything it'll maybe make people stop working two jobs, meaning more jobs will be available for other people.

Are we supposed to deny freedom to everybody because of the few that abuse it?

Most people will still work, but they won't be forced to labor at a soul sucking job to make ends meet. And the people who can't (disability, etc) won't have to worry about starving or going homeless

You think people with lots of free time and boredom wouldn't try to make something interesting of themselves? I think the 40 hour work week is far more culturally harmful than having more free time.

Yep, that's one of two already-existing technologies I was thinking of. The other was this:

But rather than a budget cutter, I see this being a possibility expander. Far more complex conversation systems and way more MGS codecs, so to speak. Maybe the technology can even be used laterally to create fully synthetic voices that humans can't possibly mimic, rather than just taking vocal recordings and applying effects and filters, except these will actually feel organic/intelligent, unlike your average GPS/Alexa/Microsoft Sam voice.

He was shot in the back while running away.

"assaulting 2 officers" was him trying to run away.

You can't just ignore that. You're lying about reality to make out a situation that did not occur. He wasn't beating the officers, he wasn't risking their lives, the fact he was shot in the back while fleeing proves it.

Unless he had lethal farts that could destroy Manhattan the cop who shot him did not need to shoot him and I'll repeat in Europe or New Zealand or Canada or Australia or Japan would not have done. The perp would just have been arrested.

You can't ignore that. You can't expect everyone else to ignore that just because you want to.

And you can't handwave the police incompetence that led to that situation.

You're literally holding the drunk dude in a parking lot to a higher standard than cops. And that's insane.

I'm only responding to what people are saying

"Well he was drunk and ran so you reap what you sow!"

Also speaks volumes that you've ignored every point I made to complain about me responding points other people made because those points are dumb

Why do you ignore nearly everything people say then just say emotionally charged nonsense and strawmen?

You know what has a higher chance of survival? Chasing down a suspect instead of shooting them.

Living or dying it's a big deal to shoot someone in the back

and if you shoot someone you do it kill them

Hell if a cop (or anyone for that matter) is shooting at someone they are not trying to kill then they fucked up. Guns are lethal weapons.

If you shoot someone you've decided to kill them. If they happen to live, that doesn't change that you decided to kill them.

So the answer is to shoot him in the back instead of chasing on foot? So you agree the cops were lazy? Weren't fit enough to chase after a suspect?

The decision was made to end a man's life instead of using their feet.

There is a line between its not ok to defend yourself and shooting a drunk in the back. Again, it was a fucking tazer.

They had his car
They had his drivers license
He was running away from them with a tazer

What exactly would have been the worse case scenario? He got a way for a few hours? They knew where he lived because they had his info. Cops are supposed to be fit right? Handle foot chases? And yet instead of doing that they pull out their gun and shoot.

Like the mayor and her cronies decided its okay for someone to beat you up, take your, and use it against you. Gee, I wonder why cops would not want to work there anymore, bad cops

If you cant handle being cops just quit!

cops quit.

fucking snowflakes, cant handle the heat and cant not murder innocent people!

this is CE. The cesspool of demented extremism.

you should be happy all of these supposedly racist killers are walking out, no one to ruthlessly murder minorities anymore.

It's pretty amazing how close we are already.

Pretty soon voice actors will simply record a sentence or phrase, reverse engineer a model and license it out. Hell, soon after that we'll be seeing Troy Baker 2.1 in the game's credits.

the difference is if you're white you can switch over to almost any other movie or TV show and see white characters taken seriously. even black people have Denzel or Forest Whitaker or Morgan Freeman and their various serious roles. South Asian people are almost universally portrayed as comedic relief, and Apu contributed heavily to that.

Because "reform" doesn't address the inherent racism and corruption in the system.

Defund means to dismantle and rebuild from the ground up

Before

not with racism towards minorities, no.

I'm fine with minorities having whatever beliefs they want. at the end of the day they're the ones being personally affected by any racist stuff they support, and as a minority (albeit not black) I totally understand the feeling of being boxed into an expected set of beliefs.

no excuse for white people though.

Chokeholds were banned in NYC when Eric Garner was killed

So.... what's their endgame? Cancel all ethnic minority mascots until only the white ones remain? (Colonel Sanders, Captain Morgan, Chef Boyardee, ect) lol

"School choice is the civil rights cause of the year....decade.....longer than that"

Jeeeeeeeesus christ

...when the great vast majority of them are low-tier trolls who contribute absolutely nothing of value to the discussion?

"People have it worse off, quit your bitching. Bootstraps!"

He's only proving my statement true.

Annihilated entire gimmick is to basically attack something no one said which is basically contributing nothing.

lmao you definitely disproved his point with this post

...when the great vast majority of them are low-tier trolls who contribute absolutely nothing of value to the discussion?

Remember when the lake of the Ozarks had all those memorial day parties? I think twocases came from that.

And the great clips worker who worked while showing symptoms? No cases came from the over 100 people she came into contact with at the salon.

White People: "what about black on black crime!? how come Black people don't wok on fixing their own culture first?"

Also White People: "I can't believe they'd generalize all white people like that"

They had it until that 3rd panel, though. While not entirely false, it is presented in a really dumb way and adds nothing to this movement.

Why do you lie like this? You have lefties here calling a yikes.

As it is.

If you believe that it's near guaranteed that police will act with violence towards a protest, peaceful or otherwise, doesn't that mean that the protesters are right about the police being brutal and lawless?

Maybe they believed the police would act reasonably and not mace without reason?

Thats not a defense to macing a child.

Tigers like children and families at peaceful protests?

I'd even accept a bonobo or an orangutan at this point.

Guessing alot of posters agree with her hate speech.
