  • Aside from the transparency issue, did you see how much it's going to cost?

    Four hundred million dollars! The city is cutting back on pretty much everything else but wants to spend that on police radios.

    Everyone has to tighten their belts while the thin blue line gets fatter and more dangerous.

  • Well, for starters, European police are actually trained professionals (in general, much more so than American police) and have different oversight. American police also handle a wider variety of things that really aren't law enforcement - things that should be handled by other kinds of professionals.

    EDIT: American law enforcement agencies are also home to some of the highest rates of domestic violence perpetrators and right-wing extremism.

    American police shoot and kill 3-4 people each day. That doesn't take into account deaths that occur in jails and prisons due to negligence.

  • A combination of for-profit healthcare, draconian state reproductive laws, and lax gun law enforcement is causing problems?

    I'm glad dude survived.

    Props to the doctors and nurses who are trying to do the right thing even though they are surrounded by greedy and ignorant administrators, politicians, and voters

  • I've replaced most of my sweet snacks with things like cheese or pumpkin seeds or cashews. It's made a huge difference.

    If I really want something sweet, like you mentioned, I usually have dehydrated fruit or Greek yogurt with fruit.

    Definitely took time and effort to find healthier snacks but it's been worth it.

  • I read your edit and thought "how bad could it be?"

    I started reading the comments and it was way worse than I thought.

    The most upvoted comments all display a great deal of "I only read 2 words of your original post" energy.

    I didn't bother with an adblocker until recently myself because I was okay with a couple of ads or mentioning sponsors.

    Then, one day, the ads just multiplied on every video. It was that sudden for me. After a couple of days, I downloaded apps for my phone and TV and it's been wonderful.

    I'll watch YT in all its horribleness on my consoles if I'm looking for something game-related and I don't want to get up and grab my phone.,

  • Well as someone with ADHD, depression, and anxiety, as well as being on the spectrum, initially we'd be kinda screwed. I have spent a lot of time in therapy and have done a lot to manage it all, as well as developing empathy for myself and others, so not so bad.

    However, I choose to be a non-theistic Satanist and an anarchist, so a lot of other people are going to be fucked. Especially those that deserve no empathy due to their hoarding of resources and exploitation of people and the planet.
