Imagine how much worse it would be if they didn't have to worry about the citizens having guns to defend themselves with.

Less protection for ourselves isn't going to make the police chill out, I feel like people don't understand that.

Lol some Looney Tunes shit

Idk the real cyberpunk move would have been putting it up and taking donations which if I understand correctly CD Projekt was going to allow him to still do.

They just didn't want him straight selling it. Which is pretty fair honestly. He should have just made it up for donations and I bet if he had done that he would have gotten a pretty decent amount of donations all at once because it was getting so much publicity.

So does anyone have a version of this we can download still?

It is shameful that they never put more effort into making this work.

Did you like Kinds of Kindness? I have it on my list of stuff to watch but was wondering what someone else thought of it.

Yes. Law Enforcement has always been this way in USA its just that now they have whole teams doing it and don't care if the camera is rolling.

Used to it would just be whatever one you crossed paths with that got a wild hair.

And the spying all ramped up since 9/11, PRISM and whatnot.

We've been fucked for a long time.

How much you wanna bet that bodycam footage isn't released?

You have a different username than the poster.

When I was in an area that only had Spectrum and was forced to use them I was appalled at how awful the service actually was.

No exaggeration the internet went out for around 6 to 8 hours on a random day of the month EVERY single month often times twice a month. Every. Single. Month. That I had them. And I had them for right at 3 years! My internet now only goes out if the power goes out and then comes right back on.

It was also ridiculous quality I pay $40/month for the same speeds I was getting with their $100/month plan. Granted, I use fiber now but still how in the hell was that even ok I actually don't understand how they stay in business like that. Like I pay less than half for the same speeds with ZERO downtime.

Anyway after I switched they bombarded me with calls and physical mail. I mean dude they would call at like 8 am trying to sell me internet or phone or whatever. 8 am is insane for a cold call and it seemed like it would always be on the one day I had off that week.

I finally called them and told them that according to the law (TCPA) if they continue to call I will file a complaint and they will be fined $500 per call. And just like that all the calls stopped. I had to actually make an entirely new email to get the emails to stop though I can't tell you how many times I've seen the exact screen you posted.

Also when I returned the router the "computers were down" and they had to hand write me a receipt for it and then months later seriously like 3 or 4 months after that they tried to say I didn't return it. Luckily I kept that piece of paper but imagine if I hadn't. I wonder how many people they hustle out of money that way.

Anyway, that's my rant. Good luck to you and sorry you have to deal with Spectrum!
