You seem more knowledgeable than I am on this subject, so I would imagine you are correct. It’s just that the guy in the footage who shoots Thompson is clearly someone else. And I’m not the only one who thinks they look like entirely different people. I’ve been confused by how this case has unfolded so far, which could explain how I’m making speculations about why they might’ve planted that evidence. This whole case stinks.

Right? This has bothered me from the beginning. He’s not the guy in the footage who shoots Thompson, and it’s obvious. But they need someone to take the fall as an example, to protect the rich.

Zero filters claim to filter PFAS. I don’t know if certified organic produce allows these chemicals to be used, but the organization that certifies food is also federal, so there’s no reason to trust it. I’m really hoping organic produce is safe from this. I would be able to get produce at Costco which is often both organic and affordable.

You fucking loser, kicking people while they’re down. I’ve been voting against this shit my entire life.

…they’re giving me cancer while simultaneously quadrupling my health insurance payments. My government has decided to kill me.

She can still do a lot of good here! She already is. I’m one of the people who would love to see AOC as president, but would rather have her become a New York senator.

If she’s president she gets to do the job for 8 years, but if she’s a senator she can stay in for decades. It seems like people put too much importance on the executive branch. It’s powerful, as we have seen, but it’s not everything.

She was born in the UK, so we’ll have to change that law before she can run for president. It seems like some of our best candidates were born elsewhere, and since rules don’t matter anymore I’m sure we’ll see this changed somewhat soon. But probably not before 2028.

"14,000 roles primarily in management, alongside around 34,000 cuts within its operational workforce”

Are you suggesting 14,000 > 34,000?

This is murder with extra steps. The genocide has already started. I genuinely thought we had more time before it started…

Laura Ingraham depends on outrage to remain effective and employed. You are helping her by posting this. Everything she says is outrageous and insane by design. Stop taking the fucking bait.

Qobuz has been good for me so far. I ran out of data the first month just because of the increased quality, so I may have to upgrade to an unlimited data plan. I mostly just use it to download albums rather than stream.

The increase in audio quality coming from Spotify is absolutely noticeable, especially for certain bands who put a lot of extra work into their production. Listening to Tool albums on Qobuz is like a brand new experience.

Bear Gulch is in Washington.

They want Washington to burn down. So when they want to perform their Gestapo arrests, stopping firefighters fighting an active fire is just a bonus.

I read that autistic people are almost exclusively left leaning voters who are naturally resistant to propaganda and authority figures. It’s not just that we’re a conveniently sized minority group to target (Nazi style), but we’re also an obstacle (and an extremely convenient scapegoat) just because of the way we are.

I’m also very prone to catastrophic over-thinking, so I’m hesitant to believe they’re planning on killing us. But despite what I might tell myself to make this easier, it’s painfully obvious what’s happening.

I hope you’re right. Trying to live through the complete collapse of American society won’t exactly be pleasant, but it’s better than dying in a concentration camp.

As soon as I saw RFK’s “speech” about his autistic person database, hairs on the back of my neck stood up and I haven’t felt safe since. I have an autism diagnosis from a doctor which I used to apply for federal disability a few years ago. I am absolutely on their list.

Well, this is… wildly disturbing. Is this leading to the American Holocaust? Or am I just being catastrophic again? I had the same thought when they started their database of autistic people.

Yes! It always does the loading spin animation for like 10 seconds before it shows me my downloaded album. And some albums just never work at all. I have to go online and then offline again just to make it work at all, which defeats the purpose of being offline in the first place.

I just started my free qobuz trial though, and canceled my Spotify account. I mentioned their CEO as the reason I canceled.

The offline features on Spotify are abysmal. Half my downloaded albums don’t even work. It’s the primary reason I’m looking for an alternative. How can an app with such a high market share be this shitty?

It probably was an .ml comm, yeah. This was when I was just starting out on Lemmy and was actually excited to talk to the “leftists” on the communist comms. I was hopelessly naive.

Fuck. I used it for the first time last year and it was incredibly easy. Now I have to go back to being charged by TurboTax for something that should be automatic and free.
