At very least, giving a shit makes you “woke” and the intent is the same as when they use gay as a slur (at least as far as i can follow their logic)

Technology@lemmy.world•After police used Flock cameras to accuse a Denver woman of theft, she had to prove her own innocenceEnglish
28·4 days agoGood question! Frankly, i don’t know. I have a feeling there would be some way they’re protected in this arrangement since they’re ‘helping’ law enforcement but that’s far from even approaching legal precedent. I imagine questions like yours are going to be challenged in the courts as we move forward… 🫠

5·4 days agoThat’s 100% the reason I’ll bother with these idiots when i do. Sometimes it’s also a chance for me to further prove out my logic and refine my arguments and understanding of the topic as well, so it can be a win-win-win in the best case scenario (troll proven wrong+me learning something new/refining my knowledge+bystanders learning why the troll is wrong)

185·4 days agoI strongly encourage everyone interested in this topic (and you should be!) to read the article because this shit runs deep and they see absolutely no problem approaching the law in this fashion. Absolutely disgusting erosion of liberty and privacy, though it’s not the least bit surprising. Here’s an excerpt i found particularly chilling–this cop is fully convinced (or acting as if he were) about the validity of this minimal-effort investigation they apparently were ready to arrest someone over. Note that weeks later it was fully disproven and ended with a terse email acknowledging that she provided enough proof to absolve herself as the suspect. No accountability for their mistake, just: “you can go now”
“You know we have cameras in that town. You can’t get a breath of fresh air in or out of that place without us knowing,” Milliman said to Elser, according to Ring doorbell footage of the Sept. 27 encounter viewed by The Colorado Sun.
“Just as an example, you’ve driven there about 20 times in the last month,” he added.
Along with the Flock footage, the sergeant told Elser he also had a video from the theft victim that allegedly showed Elser ringing the doorbell before grabbing a package and running away.
My favorite part
“I guess this is a shock to you, but I am telling you, this is a lock. One hundred percent. No doubt,” Milliman said.
😳
But Elser, a financial advisor, told the sergeant she had no idea what he was talking about. She asked several times to watch the video that Milliman insisted proved her guilt, but he refused to show her. And when Elser offered up footage from her Rivian’s onboard cameras to prove her innocence, Milliman said she could bring it to court.
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll be giving this all to you. If you are going to deny it to me, I am not going to help you with any courtesy,” Milliman said.
“It’s kind of funny because we have cameras on our truck, so we could show you exactly where we were,” Elser said.
We are really fucked here. No accountability on their end, while foisting 200% accountability on ours.

22·4 days agoSounds like they thought they could just argue on easy mode by putting the burden of proof on you. When you accommodated their request, that blew up their spot. Having no other recourse, they retreated to an insult since there was nothing else for them to do (but they were seething to get the last word, so you got that response).
Good on ya for making the fucker squirm.

10·5 days agoI’ve wondered that too. Were they sold into the idea that when the company is making lots more money it can do lots more good with it? Or are they really business men deep down struggling with their morals after seeing what happened to their ‘baby’?
Lol, thank you! Particularly pertinent during spooky season!
Thank you for the detailed response! You’ve laid out the pros and cons very clearly and you’ve helped me make my decision… You just saved me several hundred dollars! I’ll research the Ultimate Sack and settle on the one that seems like the closest fit for our needs/space.
Thanks again!
Thanks! I’ll give em look-see. Which size did you get? Anything i should be aware of in terms of care or maintenance? I’ve occasionally heard about possible mold problems but i suspect that’s not exactly common.
As someone looking for a beanbag chair as of yesterday, I would love input from anyone here for a new one. I had been looking at Lovesac but i feel like it’s mostly hype, and i just don’t know if i can swallow that high of a cost for a beanbag chair… Advice?

44·7 days agoIt serves nicely as an opportunity to remind onlookers that Trump avoided military service using his supposed ‘bone spurs’ as a reason he was unfit, though. Nothing like reminding these idiots that their tough guy is that tough
How bout they take away the credits and not do shit about reforming our healthcare system? That’s the only other alternative i see on the table right now. Of course we want better, but unfortunately this style of government stuff apparently doesn’t work that way. We should be striving for better but not by making demands that won’t be met.

63·18 days agoI’m sorry, did these men not already demonize themselves enough to make it clear who they are? I saw this comic as more as an observation than an attempt to insult. She didn’t demonize them, their actions did

448·18 days agoThank God we have Ilovethebomb to give us the braindead anti-feminist take–it complements the comic quite well, really. Racism and extremism were in ample supply thanks to the young Republicans she quoted, but it was the lack of sexism that made the picture feel incomplete. Chef’s kiss, sir/madame
