Still bullshit you have to probably pay court and lawyer fees and waste however much time it takes to be detained and in and out of court.

If you’re poor you’re fucked either way. “oh after many stressful months they said I am innocent! As a prize, I owe anywhere from several hundred to several thousands of dollars to the state and/or my lawyer, just because this one jacakss cop was in a bad mood one day and didn’t like my face, or the car I drove, or the way I wore my clothes, etc.”

Miranda rights only apply if the police are asking you incriminating questions

I argue that all questions asked by police are potentially incriminating.

They can ask you where you’re going and some general questions about what’s in your possession currently.

They can ask but I’m not answering. “I don’t answer questions. Am I free to go?”

Even before I learned not to talk to them, I’d answer them with non answers.

Cop: “where are you going?” 17 year old me: pointing forward “that way.” Cop: “OK… where are you coming from?” Me: pointing behind myself “That way.”

yeah I got pulled like this too. midnight, empty stretch of 2 lane country road, and some jackass cop tailgating me with his brights on for several miles while I made attempts to let him pass (didn’t know he was a cop yet). He pulled me and claimed I was driving erratically.

lmao first time meeting a cop?

sorry that happened to you and good luck. hire a lawyer and do not talk to the police. not one word, unless your lawyer tells you to say it.

So, this question is often asked and the real answer is that due to the very nature of anarchism, no one can really say for sure. To prescribe one system for “how it will all work” is sort of antithetical to anarchy. Emma Goldman touches on this in her essay “Anarchism” (iirc, someone correct me if i’m wrong lol).
There are lots of different schools of thought, however. It’s not like there haven’t been attempts to answer the question, its just that they should all only be considered as possibilities, whereas the actual implementation may draw from all of these ideas or none of them, possibly even shifting according to the needs and abilities of the people over any given period of time.

Here’s a good resource as well: https://anarchistfaq.org/afaq/sectionI.html

more than seven years of the states entire police budget

What a weird line item to compare. TF do the cops, another entity that should be defunded, have to do with this?

lol

i don’t think there are any airlines (other than southwest) that have managed to turn a profit without at least one bankruptcy

so, mitosis?

I’m for a defed.

if your kid doesn’t want to do something, don’t force it on them. I’m not talking about the things everyone needs to do like brushing ones teeth or getting an education. I mean, don’t sign them up for a baseball team if they show no interest in baseball. Don’t force them to hang out with the neighbor kids if they don’t like the neighbor kids. Don’t force them to wear their hair they way you think they should, etc.

let them make their own choices (within reason, ofc) and teach them that they have their own agency. if you do or don’t want them to do a thing, explain why, have a dialogue (“no back talk” is bullshit, sometimes your kids have a good point an you’re being an asshole) and listen to them.

Isn’t that what he meant by “America First”?

yeah and this may be the way to go at this point. i was just excited to make a totally custom rig and use things like Gen 5 pcie nvme. but now I’ll just not do that. fingers crossed the bubble pops and a bunch of these bullshit “ai” businesses stop existing

I appreciate the advice, but that’s what I’ve got already. It works well, but I was hoping to make a significant upgrade and move away from spinning disks and such.

yes this is terrifying, actually.

so happy I built a new PC last year. so pissed I cant make a new server this year

so CIA guy escalates war on civilians when civilians weren’t doing it for them.

TIL all the Civilization maps are on Saturn

yes thank you! 100% agree. I should not be the one having to shove my noise cancelling earphones in just so someone else can blast some 10 second instagram short that repeats over and over and over ad nauseam while they, I assume, scroll through mindless bot comments.

no lol, they’re all unfit and that’s the point.
