        Over policing will destroy people’s want to be out in the world and will absolutely stop people from doing stupid, silly, or creative things in public spaces.

        Yes, we are absolutely in an era where social media losers use that shit for clicks and clout and that needs to stop, but you don’t want to minority report your population.

        You seriously want cameras watching your EVERY move? I don’t.

            I’m saying that we all did silly or foolish things that we got away with and it’s part of who we are. You can’t police that out of people.

            Doing donuts it’s a fun thing you did in the moment with friends or after a car meet.

            On the other hand, being a pedophile is a fucked up premeditated choice.

        I think it’s funny that one of the most well-known ancient pieces of writing is of a man complaining that he was sold cheap copper, and here we are over 3,500 years later still thinking merchants can be trusted. Flock was never going to serve the common people when they can make so much more money serving the wealthy instead. When someone chooses a career in making money over all else, the only thing you can trust about them is that they will drop everyone and everything for a buck.

        I remember, back in 2010, when podcasts were new, NPR had a whole webpage explaining the concept to people, and how to subscribe to them, and that the only people who weren’t NPR that were making podcasts were people with very niche interests, like Satanists or Furries.

        Now every dipshit has a podcast, and they all suck shit

          2010?

          The ‘pod’ part of podcast comes from iPod, they are from like 2004.

          They even tried to make ‘vodcast’ a thing when the video iPod came out.

            I bet kids today don’t even understand the original concept of everything being offline that you would have software to download episodes of podcasts from RSS feeds and automatically upload them to your iPod on the next sync.

            Like you had to plan ahead before leaving the house. There were definitely times I was late leaving the house because I was waiting for my iPod sync to finish so I would have podcasts to listen to on my commute.

            It was so small and unique. The daily source code was kind of the “look at this cool thing” of podcasting back in the day.

            3g data really shifted podcast long from its original form to an on demand model.

            Crazy how different and mainstream it all is now.

              It does almost feel like a failure on our part that the Gen Zers I meet typically see devices as completely solid-state and always online. But it’s almost one step further than that, there was somebody on here a few weeks ago talking about that being able to take your music in with you from the car would have been sci-fi in the 70s and I was like cassettes are portable… It’s almost like the tendency to look at past generations as less capable than your own has also been dialed up to 11 in the current crop of college aged Gen Zers especially. But this has just been my personal experience.

        My first thought was the Paul Walker picture? So what, all Fast and Furious fans are latent criminals?

        Those are some of the highest grossing movies of all time, surely you can’t profile criminals based on a film franchise with significant mass appeal. Talk about painting with a large brush.

          One of the most interesting statistics I’ve ever heard was that traffic stops go up significantly around theaters that have recently screened a fast and furious movie.

          I hope it’s a true statistic because it makes a lot of sense.

          If everyone is guilty of something, it makes yanking them off the street easier to justify to a news media asleep at the switch.

        racism is not about the language itself. it’s about as she herself said “who is running this car show, so we will keep an eye on it”. it’s panopticon-enabled racial profiling.

          Maybe I’m missing something obvious here, but why would you interpret “because of who is running it” as a racist dog whistle?

            who would be the first kind of person to be the “suspicious guy running around”, as opposed to a regular guy?

            why would they need that distinction in the first place when it’s just a so-called “car show”?

              I mean, someone behaving suspiciously? To be honest, it sounds much like you think all black people are suspicious more than the lady in the video.

              And car shows can get very rowdy - especially shows for more modern cars than classic or vintage cars. The botched car show in Gatlinburg TN a year or two comes to mind as a specific example.

                police is notorious for racially profiling and this is what they already do, supercharged. arguing they don’t is naive at best.

                i was actually thinking of latin immigrants (ie someone like myself), which they openly use flock to target.

                but yeah this probably applies native born black people too.

    There was a mention of seeing blockages in traffic flow, and sending officers to free the traffic so drivers don’t get upset (‘road rage’)

    I was in yhe city once at a protest and someone in their car had a cry to the media about being late to a funeral because of a protest, like why’re you driving through the cbd to a funeral? Why drive to a funeral at all?
