No, I’m arguing that it sounds like the rank and file cops did what cops should do (and report their fellow cop). And the leadership and union are the bastards in this situation. The cop getting paid leave isn’t up to his fellow officers - it’s up to his superiors and his corrupt union.

That’s not on the cops who actually called it out though. That’s on their higher ups and the police union.

Because they do. They don’t want ”smart” people because they will get “bored” with the job.

When in truth they don’t want “smart” people because they will actually do the job police are supposed to do instead of keeping minorities and poors down.

Agreed. I feel the same way.

That reminds me of a time I repeatedly crashed star sonata 2 game server multiple times years ago trying to do a mission from before a universe reset. Lol whoops.

I’ve got about 20 users blocked. Only a few were immediate blocks -mainly related to nsfw images not being tagged and/or in improper communities. The rest were ‘troll’/bad faith comments after multiple comments in posts.

Just gotta find a doctor on grinder /s

That’s why I love and have used moon+ reader for years. Lots and lots of options to help fix screwed up formatting. Especially back in the day it seemed like for every 3 “good” books, at least 1 would be janky and I’d need to make adjustments for it to display well on whatever phone I had at the time

There is something special about reading real books. I just wish my life was more stable. Over the years I’ve lost my huge physical book collection that I started as a kid due to a combo of lots of moving and limited space to keep them.

The convenience of digital means I don’t have to suffer that particular loss anymore.

This is the way.

That’s step 2. - They want to get into reading.

Step 1 is to do it the cheapest way possible. Which means either real books or on a device they already have.

Then if they find they enjoy it they can/should start spending some money on hardware/software to enhance the experience.

But there’s no reason for them to spend any money on tech until they know reading recreationally is for them.

When I use/d my phone for reading I always go high contrast - Black background and bright orange text.

Whether LCD or OLED I find that color combo works great for legibility while keeping screen brightness low in the dark (to reduce eye strain) and not having to set brightness as high during the day outdoors (preventing the screen from eating the battery as quickly.)

I’ve used moon+ reader pro for years. Maybe even since it’s release. (Admittedly I don’t use it as much anymore as I prefer eink devices for reading but am stuck with a kindle for now)

The tons of customization options was my biggest draw. plenty of font/layout and color options to help find what works best for you and your device.

I also love and use calibre, but I’m not sure it’s needed by OP at this time. It doesn’t sound like they’ve got a large collection of books so I think it would just be overkill and depending on their tech level might turn them off.

Its definitely a US thing. And even more so a regional US thing. Parking (where you won’t get in trouble) can be hard to find so you have to drive more. When you do find parking its usually in direct sunlight (great in winter not so much in the summer) so now you’re running your vehicle more or need a bigger less discrete generator to counteract the oven.

Cancer. Such a bitch it is.

Being an activist ≠ ok to be killed.

Or am I just being confused by poor wording in title?

Yes, but your original comment is acting like not having open carry is the reason why shootings are less in Europe when its the tighter gun laws in general that prevents shooting incidents.

That has less (or nothing) to do with open carry and more to do with tighter gun laws in general.

I still have to take a second to actually process the analog time (at least for minutes)

1. Analog clocks are not “common” out in the world. Not where these kids are.

2. people with an interest in watches are a small percentage of people with watches. And most are “boomers” who don’t actually have an interest in watches beyond as a status symbol.
