You'll hate watch it.

Nothing wrong with that. I've hate-read entire series of books.

Yep. It is this type pf person that is responsible for most of the death and misery in the world. Without them all the dictators would just be crazy assholes nobody cares about. Although these people are typically not smart enough to connect the dots. Dump-evil, essentially.

People resembling a suspect have been stopped and interviewed

When before did police stop people by saying "you're under suspicion of something but we have no idea what now we will search you". Come off it, this is bullshit and you know it.

No one is stopped and interview merely because of a facial recognition, but also because the officer on the scene, face to face with the person, agrees that this person looks like the suspect and their ID needs to be checked.

Citation-fucking-needed. This is the MET we are talking about here.

This man refused to provide fingerprints.

Which is he right. This is just another example of the police, and especially the MET being shitweasel fascists.

The "stop and frisk on steroids" was brought on by his own actions.

This is industrial grade victim blaming here. Do you actually work for the MET because this could have been taken right from they playbook.

The police are not meant to be dogs. They have human agency. Th fault is theirs.

4th amendment protects you against unlawful searches.

Resisting arrest are you, son? On the ground ! Not fast enough, now you're dead. And qualified immunity means that it's not illegal for the officer to execute you while shouting that exact sequence of words.

The 4th and 5th amendments only protect you after the fact in court, and might stop you getting imprisoned on the basis of illegally obtained evidence. They don't do shit to prevent police harassment and general malfeasance.

Might they overreach?

They do, all the time.

For some 30% of US voters, it is a victory bell. Authoritarianism and fascism isn't some accident that happens in a vacuum. No, there has beem enough popular support to sustain the rhetoric and actions of fascists and bring about their rise to power. These guys aren't going away in 4 years, not without a fight.

Indeed. Although some more women sent to prison for abortions should make that message very clear.

In these dark times, women need once more stop trusting the "authorities" for anything. But so should men.

I do not think the US can do that anymore. It would work, no doubt, but it requires a voter population with some general minimal level of insight. I do not see that in the US. Too many voters that do not even understand basic things anymore.

I am not sure that will be enough.

Personally, anybody using a victim narrative immediately loses all my respect. But I have observed quite a few people that actually would legitimately qualify are not using it, probably they are as disgusted by it as I am.

And no, I will _not_ be lumped in with "all men". If you try that, then _you_ are the problem. My responsibility is for my own behavior, not for some arbitrary group.

I think the only thing that can help is anti-trust, really enforced (people go to prison), because that keeps competition alive. For Intel, it is too late. For others (like Microsoft or Boeing) it is too. These all need to die for things to get better. As soon as you have something too close to a monopoly, the enterprises making it goes to shit, no exceptions. Well, sometimes in family-run businesses, because they can have other values than greed. And in some FOSS, but that is probably a more fragile state.

The thing is TSMC is a fab-shop. They do one thing and do that well. And they have customers that are smart and agile and see what it is they get. While Intel has this problem that they are their own customer, so there is no "your process sucks!" from the ones making the CPU designs to the ones manufacturing that design. For example, AMD manufactures at TSMC, because the offer makes sense. If TMSC stops making sense, they go somewhere else. TSMC knows that and that keeps them honest and cutting edge. Intel manufacturing processes and designs where cutting edge at some time. Then their designs went to shit because of greed and stupidity. Then the manufacturing went to shit. Currently, the last thing they have is going to shit as well: Their reputation. They are done for and there is no coming back.

As to the reason Intel cannot compete while having access to the same equipment, that one is simple. In their arrogance, they lost people that can drive things and get to the next level. Kind of like Boeing does not know how to design planes anymore because they have not done it for so long. Intel did play it safe, relying on even 2nd rated thing selling well because of their name. And they did that long enough to only have 2nd rated offerings now. As a result, they have nobody left that can make 1st rated products, because having the tools is not enough. You need to have the people that can do it too and Intel does not have those anymore. Do you think that, at this time, anybody really good will even apply for a job at Intel? Hardly. Bureaucracy, fossilized thinking, inadequate compensation, random firings, etc. They are only getting the dross, and that does not cut it.

I agree. But the perception still needs to catch up with the reality.

Yep, like silencing voices that point out facts will make those facts go away. But these retards seem to actually think that.

That happens to be a direct lie. Have a look at who produced those "studies" you think show that. And then have a look at actually neutrally done studies from countries where sex work is legal. Here is a hint: You will not find many, because once things are legal most of the problems simply vanish and it is not an interesting topic anymore. Moral panic sells. Things just working does not so much.
