As someone who can have difficulty socializing (unless it’s something I’m passionate or knowledgeable about, but then i risk oversharing), i decided to try reading a book i ran into called Supercommunicators. It actually touches on a number of things you mentioned here, just curious if you happen to have read it yourself… It’s been pretty enlightening for me, and i find the things I’ve picked up from it can easily be applied to daily life. Some good food for thought, at very least!

At very least, giving a shit makes you “woke” and the intent is the same as when they use gay as a slur (at least as far as i can follow their logic)

Technology@lemmy.world•After police used Flock cameras to accuse a Denver woman of theft, she had to prove her own innocenceEnglish
28·17 days agoGood question! Frankly, i don’t know. I have a feeling there would be some way they’re protected in this arrangement since they’re ‘helping’ law enforcement but that’s far from even approaching legal precedent. I imagine questions like yours are going to be challenged in the courts as we move forward… 🫠

191·17 days agoI strongly encourage everyone interested in this topic (and you should be!) to read the article because this shit runs deep and they see absolutely no problem approaching the law in this fashion. Absolutely disgusting erosion of liberty and privacy, though it’s not the least bit surprising. Here’s an excerpt i found particularly chilling–this cop is fully convinced (or acting as if he were) about the validity of this minimal-effort investigation they apparently were ready to arrest someone over. Note that weeks later it was fully disproven and ended with a terse email acknowledging that she provided enough proof to absolve herself as the suspect. No accountability for their mistake, just: “you can go now”
“You know we have cameras in that town. You can’t get a breath of fresh air in or out of that place without us knowing,” Milliman said to Elser, according to Ring doorbell footage of the Sept. 27 encounter viewed by The Colorado Sun.
“Just as an example, you’ve driven there about 20 times in the last month,” he added.
Along with the Flock footage, the sergeant told Elser he also had a video from the theft victim that allegedly showed Elser ringing the doorbell before grabbing a package and running away.
My favorite part
“I guess this is a shock to you, but I am telling you, this is a lock. One hundred percent. No doubt,” Milliman said.
😳
But Elser, a financial advisor, told the sergeant she had no idea what he was talking about. She asked several times to watch the video that Milliman insisted proved her guilt, but he refused to show her. And when Elser offered up footage from her Rivian’s onboard cameras to prove her innocence, Milliman said she could bring it to court.
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll be giving this all to you. If you are going to deny it to me, I am not going to help you with any courtesy,” Milliman said.
“It’s kind of funny because we have cameras on our truck, so we could show you exactly where we were,” Elser said.
We are really fucked here. No accountability on their end, while foisting 200% accountability on ours.
Lol, thank you! Particularly pertinent during spooky season!
Thank you for the detailed response! You’ve laid out the pros and cons very clearly and you’ve helped me make my decision… You just saved me several hundred dollars! I’ll research the Ultimate Sack and settle on the one that seems like the closest fit for our needs/space.
Thanks again!
Thanks! I’ll give em look-see. Which size did you get? Anything i should be aware of in terms of care or maintenance? I’ve occasionally heard about possible mold problems but i suspect that’s not exactly common.
As someone looking for a beanbag chair as of yesterday, I would love input from anyone here for a new one. I had been looking at Lovesac but i feel like it’s mostly hype, and i just don’t know if i can swallow that high of a cost for a beanbag chair… Advice?
How bout they take away the credits and not do shit about reforming our healthcare system? That’s the only other alternative i see on the table right now. Of course we want better, but unfortunately this style of government stuff apparently doesn’t work that way. We should be striving for better but not by making demands that won’t be met.

3·1 month agoLove this though–now it’s not likely gonna sell to a liberal, bc who the fuck in their right mind wants whatever that house is cursed with after that scum infested the place? But it’s also not likely to get sold to a conservative bc why would they want to make a target of themselves? I hope that place just rots on the market for eternity ♥️






You would think they might, but i like to think either they’re just a troll or bot of some sort or they really just love being wrong about stuff
