Must have dropped out of strawman school...

You're definitely on the right track.

The only actual job of the police is to file crime reports.

They do not prevent crime. Protect innocents. Make people show up for court etc. They have no obligation to stop a crime in progress or protect someone being hurt, even if they're standing right there and could stop it.

Anything in the justice system that you value is either done by someone else, or actually isn't done at all.

Harris chose to do something immoral because "it was the law", or it benefited her, or whatever - and you can expect her to continue doing that.

You still have to vote for her, but you also have to be realistic about who you're actually voting for.

Republicans are the party who holds their candidates up without criticism - and Dems put up Kamala now exactly because Democrats were criticizing Biden - and even though she's one of the worst candidates they've put up in years, she's still far more electable than Biden.

So yes. You need to both vote for and criticize Harris. It's the least immoral choice.

I got my prependix taken out as a kid due to an infection.

I'd say it also needs to be entirely optional and be opt-in only. Any service, program, whatever needs to work fully for anyone who doesn't allow their data to be sold or released with extremely few exceptions.

Better solution.

Data are owned by the generator. Only they can sell it etc...

This also solves the privacy problem of law enforcement agencies applying warrants to phone companies etc. for access to your data, which has been an end-run around 4th Amendment rights for decades.

"fair" means pale-skinned and her name is Snow White...

Remember way back when, when you could set icons to be whatever you want?

Relevant part at 5:15 but it's all on point. There's a better version somewhere but this was the top hit...

From my read of the article he wasn't wearing it, he was holding it in his hands along with the trash...

What's the line of thinking on that?

Get up. Realize it's trash day and grab the trash to go outside - but wait! What if some ne'er-do-well has been lying in ambush until 6 in the fucking morning to rob me of my precious trash? Better grab my heat. Shit I'm still in my pajamas and my holster is in the other room. I'll just walk out like some romcom librarian, except instead of books I have a heap of trash and a loaded gun and the part where I trip is a lot less cute.

I'm happy with my current liver, thanks.
