I wonder how many of those people were a legitimate threat to the police officers' safety such that literally no other method of restraint was possible?

Injecting someone with a high, potentially lethal dose of sedatives seems like a tool that should be used sparingly with up most care, yet these deaths prove they're doing no such thing.

Realistically, what are you gonna do? The time for another candidate came and went, so all intents and purposes you've got either Biden or Trump.

Refusing to vote en-masse to stick it to the DNC sounds great, but is it worth giving Trump the keys to the castle?

The guy who's repeatedly given open support towards Israel "war", told them they should "get the job done" - hell his only condemnation towards them is the fact Israel recorded any of it.

Trump being in would only change things for the worse, and that's just with Gaza - I'd argue the status quo is better than the alternative.

Though it's fucked we ended up in this situation in the first place.

What an odd coincidence - was just watching a news report on this mRNA treatmemt, opened Kbin and this article was right on top of my feed

Exactly - the poor and working class are constantly told they need to evolve to keep up, why shouldn't that apply to rich people too?

This may be the onion now, but just wait until we end up needing extra sticks of RAM just for Chrome haha

It's great that the FCC can get back to doing it's job properly now that its chair isn't an industry plant

Yeah - this is what I was thinking. We all heard about people being unable to delete comments or Reddit keeping comments even after account deletions back during the first migration, so what stops them holding onto comment history - and what stops them using that to teach llms to discern poisoned data from real data as @pixxelkick said.

No offence to you, but that doesn't always have to be true. When the going gets serious, of course it has to be political, but one can certainly joke around and have fun without things turning political.

If you can't do literally anything with anyone without it becoming political, even in safe spaces, then the problem isn't who you are, it's that you've got nothing else to talk about but politics.

You say that as though being a minority gives carte blanche to make any discussion you're involved in political - bigots may try to make you political, but many folks are more than happy to live and let live. I mean I certainly wouldn't want to talk about my ASD all the time.

That means what you wrote is an expression of your privilege, and is therefore itself a political statement.

The privilege to have sought out communities where I don't always have to speak about politics, or where I can debate people on more harmless subjects? You can do that too you know...

And if everything suddenly becomes political around you where it wasn't before, it might not necessarily be because you're a minority, it might be because you're the one politicising things, ala my first comment.

While this is funny, unless Reddit recently became a microblogging website, this is the wrong place for this post

I don't think it's an unpopular opinion to hate people politicising everything - politics should stay in politics.
Sometimes you just want to chat stupid shit and get away from all that crap.

It's gross, but also inevitable. If there's an untapped niche to make money from, somebody's going to try it -- plus if they want to waste their money on generating accounts only to have them be banned, then so be it.

Makes me kinda thankful that this community is smaller and less likely to be targeted by this sort of crap.
