The same logic can be applied to the DNC.

The money to pay for bailouts has to come from taxes, otherwise we just create inflation which causes other problems.

notassigned··on Twitter names famed hacker 'Mudge' as head of security
Yes. Just don't use twitter. Over time their numbers will dwindle and they will become a dead social network.

notassigned··on AT&T’s current 5G is slower than 4G in nearly every city tested by PCMag
I feel like phone manufacturers realized that phones are too good and there is not much to motivate people to buy newer models.

Remember, you must have a 5G capable phone!

Twitter seems to be the worst offender in this regard.

I use the mobile version called 'Materialistic', it doesn't show comment score which is probably a good thing. Also only has a vote up button.
notassigned··on Ketamine that's injected during arrests draws new scrutiny
1. I am black. 2. There is no police brutality in my area, or crime for that matter. 3. I don't shrug and accept police brutality, those are your words. 4. I am not trying to spin a narrative, merely point out a narrative that is being spun by the media that directs attention away from actual solutions in favor of self-dealing sensationalism.

Cops are humans. It is illogical to assume that there will be no mistakes made.

notassigned··on Ketamine that's injected during arrests draws new scrutiny
Well I can't argue with that since you said 'many' police in a country of 350+ million people. But what is many? 5? 100? 1000? It's easy to pick these instances and assign blame retrospectively when in reality, things like this almost never happen. If the guy had pulled out a gun and shot the cops in the head, we wouldn't have heard a thing about it. Business as usual.

I don't think it's helpful to assume the police were racist.
notassigned··on Uber and Lyft competitors ready if service is suspended in California
This is the usual with these 'compassionate' government ideas. If you can't compete with a company, lobby the government to force your competition out of business, while calling it a kindness to the public.
notassigned··on Moving from YouTube to PeerTube
It really bothers me how YouTube updated the mobile UI so that ads can now change the size of the player window to take up most of the vertical space and can require more than one tap just to get back to the video/comments.
notassigned··on Secret gyms and the economics of prohibition
>What do you think you're accomplishing by posting easily debunked misinformation?

The data on Sweden is clear, they are down to near zero covid deaths per day in a country of over 10 million people. Can't see how that can be debunked.

And how are they significantly worse? They are living normal lives.

Also, if something is 'easily debunked' then just do it.

notassigned··on Secret gyms and the economics of prohibition
What do you think about Sweden, then? They seem to be done with this with no lockdown and a small amount of death (accounting for old people who would have died this year anyway, statistically)
