There’s no excuse for them not requiring every Ice agent to wear some kind of displayed number that can identify them when there’s an issue. The fact that they won’t even do this bare minimum is proof that they just want to allow these people to act as terrorists to the American people.

It’s not just facial recognition anymore, though, they’re looking at all kinds of other stuff, even how you walk.

Independent media, Status Coup, pointed out that after lawmakers were allowed to see the unredacted files, Trump’s name was originally mentioned 38,000 times and, once unredacted, Trump’s name jumped to over one Million mentions.

These are only the files they’ve released so far. There are 3 million more files that haven’t been released yet.

Who’s telling people to care now, though? It seems like the opposite to me. I’m hearing from people I know that therapists are telling them and encouraging them to ghost people that are stressing them out.

I remember years ago in a psychology class, the psychology professor talking about how there had been research done saying that most people that had a positive view of themselves tended to avoid negative people.

That really bothered me, because I thought how would avoiding all negative people do anything but make the world a worse place? It seemed like to me if you were doing well and had a positive view of things that you would be strong enough to lend your strength to other people to help them.

When my spouse died and I went to the support group.The first thing the counselor said was to try not to take it personally when friends and family turned away from us because we were widows and widowers, because evidently, this is a common thing that is happening today, that when a spouse dies, family and friends are turning away from the surviving spouse just because they don’t want to deal with the ideas of death and the sadness of it. So widows now are getting very little support even from their own families and friends.

I think the lack of empathy problem stems from both psychiatric disorder and systematic encouragement. We are being ruled by psychopaths, and they are using the system to train people to think that it’s okay to not have empathy.

I don’t think we’re going to get through this world without removing psychopaths from positions of power high and low. We have to stop letting psychopaths control anything. They cannot be president.They cannot run for any political office. And we shouldn’t even let them work at the dmv or have any kind of power over anyone in any capacity, because it always goes badly when you let someone that has no empathy control other people’s lives.

Wow. For the first time ever, I thought it was really smart of someone to get facial tattoos. The facial tattoos are probably the only thing getting him vaguely treated as an adult. It makes me think he’s actually a really smart person, but also, he’s probably very angry after decades of being treated badly.

Unless they’re all stuck together, and then it counts as one big nacho.

Fast Car is one of those songs that always makes me cry.

I’ve been listening to Bob Marley & the Wailers:

Get up, stand up: stand up for your right

Get up, stand up: don’t give up the fight

The article says “There is no structural or blanket barrier to states bringing a criminal prosecution against federal officials.”

This is good news. I was hoping there would be at least one example of it being used. Does anyone know if this idea has been tested via any cases in the past?

I wonder if the Institute for Justice will take up any of these cases on an individual level?

In reality, it’s going to screw so much stuff up and do so many things you don’t want it to do, that you’re going end up spending a lot of time just correcting all the mistakes it makes.

And when you’re not fighting to stop it from doing more things you don’t want it to do, you’re going spend your time worrying about what it will do next that you’re going have to fix.

And unless you pay for the most expensive phone and the most expensive tier of service, they’ll probably dumb it down on purpose and your life is going be hard.

She’s a keeper. You’re lucky. She’s letting you know what irritates her, and how to avoid aggravating her again and also providing a way to make it up to her. This is the way to a harmonious life.

Well, sharkfucker420, I think your time has come to be the hero this world needs.

“We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.”

Don’t let them bait and switch you with an apartment.They might show you an apartment that’s in really good shape and act like that’s the one you’re gonna get, and then they give you a different one that is not in good shape, so make sure that the apartment you’re looking at is the exact apartment that you’ll be getting.

Also, don’t skip this one, talk to the neighbors. I know it’s awkward and you’re not going to want to do it, but it’s really the best way to get information. They will tell you how things actually are.

Did anybody call the St Paul police? Were the police already there on site? What is happening to residents when they call the emergency number? Are the dispatchers telling them what to do? This is missing from the news story. Why isn’t npr asking these questions? Where are the police?

Why are the police in Minnesota, in this case St. Paul, why are they not doing anything? Couldn’t they at least require ICE to produce a warrant, and if the police would put themselves in between ice and these innocent people and ice had to arrest or tried to arrest the Minnesota police that would totally change the game, wouldn’t it?

Could you imagine how insane that story would be? It would make the trump administration look really awful to have to justify police officers being arrested by ICE. There’s never been a better opportunity for the police to rehabilitate their public image.

At the very least, the police could be there recording what’s going on. In this particular case, they could have documented how ice took this guy out to the middle of nowhere and were taking his photos.

Ice would be behaving very differently if the police would get involved and be willing to get arrested, that would be the hero cop. The police unions would get involved and it would totally change the game.

If just one good, hero cop put himself or herself in between ice and an innocent American citizen that police officer would become famous, and they would be known and written about in the history books for bringing America back from the brink of totalitarianism.

Or we’ve already been to them and ruined them with wars and pollution and doomsday weapons and moved on until we’re on the last habitable one…

This is so freaking cute that I had to zoom in and then I saw the little feetsies sticking out!

Thanks for making me smile

Doesn’t this situation call for companies that could decide to block AI and double down on the human workforce? And those companies who do would be rewarded by all of us who hate AI and they would succeed by the supposed rules of the free market. Why isn’t any company stepping up to compete against AI run companies? Wouldn’t it be an amazing opening to compete and win?

Also, it wasn’t talked about in the article, but one of the big arguments for why this AI thing has to be so inevitable is that we have to compete with China. They think we have to start this race with China, to try to win AI.

First of all, I think we might have already lost the race. Second of all, even if you don’t agree that we’ve already lost. What if by embracing AI, China and all the other countries are destroyed by it? What if it just makes so many mistakes and errors that it just destroys their economy and destroys their country?And then the countries who were cautious about AI would be fine.We’d be the winners, not having succumbed to this ridiculous urge to use everything AI.

People always forget that anything and everything hooked up to a network is hackable. I’ll say it again. Everything hooked up to a network is hackable.Including this shitty AI stuff. If we put everything into AI, even if we win, another country could just hack us. And screw everything up. The bottom line is.There is a space to say no to AI and succeed.

I know I’m not that super articulate about this, but I would love to see somebody else write about these ideas with more finesse than I have, so that we could all start talking about this more and stop letting this inevitable push to AI just keep going without pushing back.
