  • Seattle Sets the Stage for Automatic Traffic Camera Expansion - The Urbanist

    Jump

  • All that surveillance and they let all the criminals go free anyways…so, what’s the point?

    They're not using these to catch criminals - that'd be like expecting anti-gun laws to give murderers pause. No, they use them to make people like you and me pay hundreds of dollars when the light goes from yellow to red while we're in the intersection or close enough to it that we couldn't safely stop without stopping literally in the middle of it all. That's what this is about - making people like us pay. Not actual criminals who commit a crime that they would be arrested for.

  • the move is a first step toward the broader deployment of those cameras, a tool that has the potential to dramatically improve traffic safety across the city if implemented well.

    It's Seattle. It will not, sadly, be implemented well.

  • Agreed. I have a compromise. They can put in all the cameras they want - but absolutely cannot, upon pain of losing 50% of their total budget for a year per violation - outsource or subcontract the operations or anything akin to the operations of the system at all. Hire IT staff to run it, pay people to process the data. No you can't use AI. Do this or fuck off, Seattle.

    I will never ever forget when a red light camera came to Redmond, at the turn leading to driving through Microsoft's campus. Can you guess what happens when you piss of a bunch of smart motivated people who have money and aren't necessarily the kindest people? That shit got challenged and removed after about six months. I still see the stump/the concrete it was embedded when when I go to my buddy's house, and it warms my heart literally every. single. fucking. time.

  • Israel plans to capture all of Gaza under new plan, officials say

    Jump

  • Why do so many people constantly just misframe this argument as “it’s the people who didn’t vote’s fault!”

    That's easy, it goes like this:

    If you and people like you had all voted for the Democratic candidate instead of witholding your vote because she wasn't anti-Israel enough, Trump would have lost.

    Then it continues:

    If Trump had lost, this wouldn't be happening.

    Therefore:

    It's most directly Trump and his Nazi party's fault, but voters who didn't vote for Harris 100% share the blame for helping to elect Trump.

    Easy motherfucking peasy.

    Oh, you don't like genocide? Then why'd you help enable it? And if you can pull your head out of Gaza's asshole for a minute, why'd you enable the equivalent in the US with millions of deportations?

    I suppose you think it's Democratic voters' fault. What, should have have all boycotted the vote so Trump could win harder? Do you think that'd have helped? If Harris came out as super anti-Israel, so that such voters would deign to vote for her, that she'd still have carried enough swing states to win? Because she wouldn't have, that's just reality.

    Congrats to everyone who pulled this off; now Gaza, the USA, AND Ukraine are fucked. Well done! Xi and Vlad applaud you too!

  • Sure don't.

    I do remember thinking that any of my fellow Americans who refused to vote for Kamala because she wasn't anti-Israel enough for them were super fucking stupid because electing Trump obviously OBVIOUSLY O B V I O U S L Y would lead to this exact outcome.

    That's what I remember.

  • Revolution in pain management: first non-opioid drug arrives

    Jump

  • Hopefully it's not addictive, so maybe - just fucking maybe - people actually in pain can get it without jumping through a million hoops and being treated like drug-addicted criminals.

    That'd be... neat.

  • Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts

    Jump

  • That's why I play using a PC and not a console. Though PC components have also been overpriced for years.

  • Connections

    Jump

  • Yes, and my dog too. She always sniffs it very seriously, especially if it's a package that has been delivered. It's a big deal to them.

  • Americans Really Dislike Trump. But They’re About to Truly Hate Him.

    Jump

  • Keep in mind that many of us voted for Harris, way too many of us either didn’t care enough to vote or withheld voting because Harris wasn’t ready to nuke Israel, and the rest voted for shitler.

    So no, motherfucker, this isn’t what I voted for. Edit: In case I wasn’t clear: I voted for Harris.
