Now the protestors were rioters and the victim was trying to run over officers and she was shot four times in the face ‘defensively’ 🙄🙄🙄

12:14 p.m. | Minnesota activates emergency ops center

The State Emergency Operation Center has been activated. For reference, this is the multi-agency team that crops up during major incidents. You’ll remember it from the post-George Floyd murder

11:50 a.m. | ICE says agent, ‘fearing for his life’, kills protester

Federal authorities say an ICE agent, “fearing for his life” killed a woman during a confrontation Wednesday in south Minneapolis.

City officials are expected to speak at 12:15 p.m.

The ICE statement says, in part:

“Today, ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers and one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism.

“An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots.

“He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers.

“The alleged perpetrator was hit and is deceased. Thankfully, the ICE officers who were hurt are expected to make full recoveries.”

Redditors need minors to talk to!

Why do all the cool gadgets only come out for the phones of people who aren’t interested in cool gadgets?

Not from the UK, but according to Peep Show you can get anyone sectioned.

No, but you if he’s going to call the police on you should definitely call the police and make noise complaint and harassment complaint so they come and they can come inside and hear what it’s like and tell him to lower the volume and stop and mind his own business. He won’t listen, but there will be a record and witnesses so if he does need to be sectioned it isn’t his word against yours.

And we’ll all be too poor to buy it, but then those who caused the issue and used their golden parachute to escape it can buy it up and use it to cause the next bubble.

A lot of liberal boomers really liked and trusted Colin Powell for some reason, so his vouching for Iraqi WMDs really sinched it with that demographic.

Substantive? That’s a bit of a stretch. One reply that cites any sources and not a single one would get past a community college level RA.

It is laughable to me that you think we’re on different sides. There are two sides, manipulators and manipulatees, and none of us here are the manipulators, though you may have created an echo chamber to increase the volume of certain manipulations.

‘Sides’ aside, do I have anything to say for myself? Of course. Would the time spent add any value to my life or fulfil any purpose? Maybe, but the ROI is too slim. You can’t reason a person out of an opinion they didn’t reason themselves into. It’s the same reason I don’t waste time arguing with MAGA these days. Even on the off chance you’re talking to a real person, presenting them with any kind of evidence is just going to make them double down on their opinion. That’s just human psychology, The Backfire Effect in action. I made the mistake of not checking where I was before commenting at all. Coming back here to reply to you was probably a mistake in and of itself, but this whole ‘sides’ thing just irks me. I hope you don’t really feel that way. If we both want to move the country to the left, then disagreements like this only serve to benefit those who want to move the country further to the right. There’s this book that outlines exactly how to create these ideological disagreements that drive wedges into opposition to the right, and who it benefits, but for some reason y’all have completely discounted it even though everything written in it has come to pass since. If y’all want to outright reject reality then more power to you, but I don’t have to involve myself.

Always remember that while The Democratic Party is far from perfect, this is Russian propaganda. The party and the rules it has to play by are changed by voting locally, early, and often. Spreading the voter apathy message that both parties are the same and our votes are inconsequential just gives more power to the oppressors.

LMAO sorry, I forgot where I was. 🙄

That is what I thought, until this article. I’d be pleased to find out I misinterpreted.

The conversion is not the biggest issue. For my dad or Grandmother to stream my content, Plex as a streaming app is something they can easily understand and digest (though Plex’s new streaming app has done quite a bit to undo that -_-). I have the subscription, I acquire the content, I choose who to share it with. Now they need a subscription, too? Where’s the value? Why wouldn’t they just pay for a streaming service at that point? I’m using my hardware and doing all the work and they are paying Plex? And if I accepted payment for the same thing it would be a crime! BUT I’m not sure I’m comfortable opening Jellyfin to the internet, even behind nginx, and I don’t want to have to spend time setting things up for them or troubleshooting their issues w/ Jellyfin. I put enough labor into this thing already.

So yes obviously everyone should switch to the FOSS option, but in reality it’s not that simple because the services aren’t 1:1.

Ha!

Loops: “Am I a joke to you?”

Everyone else: “Who said that?”

Just some drugged out crazy guy manipulating entire governments to his increasingly unhinged whims.

As intended.

I have lunch meeting with a magat in a few hours, I’m going to try my hardest to memorize this!

Considering these people are in charge of the only systems capable of regulating them, yeah probably not. And if you won’t sell them they’ll force you into foreclosure and buy you up even cheaper like JD Vance’s Acretrader has been doing to farms.

Vulture capitalism. These VCs come in and take out a huge loan to buy these established companies, then the company becomes responsible for paying the loan, and the company also pays the VC “management fees” then when the company is a hollow husk of what it used to be they start selling off assets and closing stores. Kmart, Sears, Toys R’ Us, Circuit City, Party City, Payless, etc etc etc. This is how Thiel made his Billions and what Vance did before pretending to be a politician. Lately they’ve been going after the funeral home industry and veterinary clinics.

The Jade Helm 15 conspiracy theories were based on the Jade Helm 15 United States military training exercise, which took place in multiple U.S. states between July 15 and September 15, 2015. The exercise, which involved 1,200 personnel from four of the five branches of the U.S. military, was designed to train soldiers in skills needed to operate in overseas combat environments, including maneuvering through civilian populations. The announcements of these training exercises raised concerns and generated conspiracy theories, mostly from Alex Jones, that the exercise was a hostile military takeover.
