  • I used to run a small electronics repair business and you are 1 billion percent correct. Slowly watching things over the years become unrepairable was just such an obvious business decision for profit over customer satisfaction. There is absolutely no reason to make those changes unless you have a profit driven motive. So so so many electronics used to be like the fairphone your mom has. Pop it open, take out what's broke, replace it with some OEM or 3rd party part you bought for like 2 dollars and you're all set. It's so frustrating nowadays with how purposefully difficult manufacturers make any repairability. Can't even change a damn battery in your phone now! lol

  • I can't help but feel like it's also in part because a good amount of folks are just... as delicately as I can put it... the kind of people that pick up a fork to eat a bowl of soup.

    The rationale I have heard from tons and tons of voters just makes absolutely no god damn sense at all. There's of course mass manipulation and all that but goodness gracious, the complete lack of critical thinking skills is astounding.

  • It's all about mic placement. Ive had the good fortune to play sports on live tv in front of large crowds a good amount and it's not uncommon at all for the crowd sound on the broadcast to be way different than in person. That being said, I'd bet there's a different broadcast from a different country where you can totally hear the boos.

  • I'm not the person you asked but this whole thread is wild to me. I've lived in 9 different states including CA and I can only remember like 2 homes that wore shoes inside and they were super Asian that had house slippers/shoes they would put on. Aside from special occasions I have literally never seen anyone just walk inside with shoes on and not take them off. Y'all people are dirty lol

  • Earlier than that it's absolutely insane that anyone believes anything this dunce says now.

  • Kinda the hallmark right? You can also apply socialists to all the people collecting social security every month and everyone that uses Medicare or started a a GoFundMe for a huge medical bill or whatever. But call them out on that and they'll blow a gasket. Most of them are hipocrites all the way down

  • Dudes last words were apparently "don't touch her" to the ice agent that shoved two women to the ground, and then "are you okay?" To one of the women. If that doesn't scream terrorist I don't know what does.

  • And they maced him before that. This dude was virtually incapable of posing a threat. The DHS narrative is insane. He was fucking trying to help two women being shoved around by ice lol. Who can watch this and not see the diabolical lies?

  • Well yeah... But what's not pictured here is the bazooka the terrorist was holding. I saw it. I saw it with my own eyes. The guy drove his tank right up to those ice agents, got out with his bazooka and was gonna take em all out. It's as clear as day.

    • Stephen Miller
  • There's footage of pretty much all of that. He's talking to ice agents holding his phone. He's then pushed around. Another protestor is also pushed. He moves toward that protestor who is on the ground. They swarm him and the rest is history.

  • From what I understand, the water bottle was a mace canister. Some reports were saying the guy was reaching for it to use as a weapon but I don't see that. It is then kicked away. Also, pay attention to the agent in the gray jacket. He walks up a bit late, and disarms the victim by pulling the (holstered) pistol from his waistband. He then runs away holding the weapon as the victim is shot. Like a dozen times.

  • I'm trying really hard to see how this could be anything else than a straight up execution. It's hard to see any way that dude could be threatening the life of anyone here. He's shot on his knees with his hands down looking away from the shooter (granted the footage we have here it's kind of hard to tell just cause there's so many people). There's footage of him talking to the agents before just holding his phone to record and then they start shoving him. There's also 8 bajillion agents beating the shit out of him right before. The woman's footage from the other side of this will show a ton if she was recording.

    Anyways, I look forward to hearing how this heroic agent saved the lives of all his fellow warriors during this altercation. Hope the agent recovers from the assault safely and quickly in the hospital...

    Edit: few things, someone pointed out the agent in the grey coat disarms the victim and runs away with his weapon before he's killed which I did not see at first.

    Also, second lady's footage is now out and it doesn't show anything different than a bunch of thugs beating the shit out of this guy and then killing him.

  • Maybe in this instance but don't get confused, Kirk has said many times MLK is a bad person and what he did was terrible. There's tons more if you just go looking but just for starters he said:

    "MLK was awful. OK? He's not a good person. He said one good thing he actually didn't believe. Go research MLK, you should go research him."

    When asked if it was true that when he was younger, he used to describe MLK as a hero and a civil rights icon, he responded simply:

    "That's true, and I used to be wrong."

    Regarding the Civil Rights Act that MLK famously pushed so hard for:

    "We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the mid-1960s."

    Again this is just a bit. Go digging and you'll find much much more.

  • I don't even know what the narrative any more. For a long time the affordability thing was a hoax. Then it wasn't a hoax but they already solved it. Now they're back to working on it?

  • They're just waiting for the day an ice officer gets killed. That is their wet dream. The instant that happens, this crap will ramp up 50 fold. They cannot wait for that moment.

  • I mean on a base level of course you are right. But seriously? Men and women are very different when it comes to a crap ton of things.

  • I mean okay but jumping down that person's throat because you neglected to mention they were required to wear body cams by law but are instead just choosing not to is a bit much lol. I was thinking the exact same thing after reading your initial comment. They are required to wear them during these operations (especially after Chicago). I have no idea whether or not they are but they are supposed to.

    In either case I think it's pretty obvious the public won't see any footage of body cams any time soon

  • I am not joking even a little when I say I would not be surprised if this dude is given a high position in the government after this.

    Why isn't Lemmy searchable on a search engine?
