Mkay have fun on your mission dude, I wish you the best

Those things qualify you for a whole slew of jobs, and Harry has plenty of other interests besides fighting evil wizards. It seems like very shallow, hackneyed writing to have a 14-year-old latch on to becoming a cop in a community that he didn’t even know existed until he was 11*, one which he literally isn’t permitted to participate in until he finishes boarding school.

No, I don’t really want more paragraphs dude, it’s getting exhausting trying to parse any points out of what’s already there. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around thr fact that the person who posted this video of cops being terrible people would then advocate for leftists to befriend and become cops themselves, over advocating for institutional, systematic change.

And if you’re implying that the left has no plan, I implore you to extricate yourself from the rock you’re living under.

The only thing I’m getting here is that you think that police are the only/ultimate positions of authority, which is shedding some light on the rest of your “arguments”.

Good luck infiltrating the cops my dude, I wish you the best and good luck. I’ll be over here working on other, useful things.

You think leftists can just join the police and fix everything from the inside? Have you tried? You think Republicans are more likely to do the job because not enough leftists apply, and not because the system selects specifically for conservative-minded people?

Leftists don’t villify the job. Leftists villify the system that actively selects against them, educated people, and people with empathy, a system inherently rooted and founded upon racist principles.

The system cannot be fixed from within by infiltrating it with some lefty cops, and your suggestion to do so is laughably naive at best, and maliciously counterproductive at worst. The system needs to be rebuilt and retooled. And that’s not going to happen just by being nice to cops, or by leftists becoming cops.

What? Dawg that’s what you’re advocating for. Are you ok?

Oh God, they’re trying the right-wing psyop campaign on Lemmy

Auror was his very first idea

Not to nitpick, but Auror was Rowling’s first idea, as you suggest in your last sentence there. Rowling’s narrow-minded world view wouldn’t let the hero become a teacher, or a politician, or an activist, or anything else. Her view of the world says cops are the real heroes, so the hero of her story must become a cop.

Ok so it sounds like you are advocating for the left to be its own protection.

Remind me again why we need to be nice to police then?

Even if a person is smart, they still have blind spots and areas in which they are still indeed dumb as fuck. Unfortunately, for a lot of people, those blind spots lie in things like politics, economics, and civics.

Ok hold up, let me get this straight. Are you suggesting that the left try and make nice with cops of all people, in a post that you authored showing cops being absolutely reprehensible human beings? Like what are you even here for dude? I honestly do not understand. Why does the left need some protector anyways? Why would you advocate for that specifically, and not for the left to be their own protection?

You think the police are here to protect us? C’mon OP, here, in this thread, you’re gonna try and spread kumbayah not-all-cops-are-bad police apologia?

Right? It’s insanely well done. I’ve showed that video to my mom who’s worked in the health care/insurance industry for multiple decades, and she had no notes

(again, apparently different meaning in Ohio)

Not to pile on, but uh… I can assure you, as a life long Ohio native, “fiscal year” means the same thing here as it does everywhere else

Here’s a thirty minute video for anyone struggling with those first couple bullets!

So, they’re trying to spin it as an act of self defense, that the ICE agent feared for his life because the vehicle was being used as a weapon?

What a fat fucking load of bullshit.

Fellas, if you see a car coming at you, wouldn’t training (and your instincts) compel you to get the fuck out the way, not start opening fire as if you’re a poacher being charged by a rhino?

The competitive game anti-cheat issue is kinda overblown nowadays. A lot of popular competitive FPS games run perfectly fine, anti-cheat and all, on Linux with wine/proton. And the ones that don’t either have incredibly invasive anti-cheat that you wouldn’t want running on your computer anyways, or have server-side “protections” that properly boot Linux players out of the game for some arbitrary reason.

These are the four stages of Rand al’Thor

It’s Canonical’s (the company that created/updates/supports Ubuntu) package format. There are a few problems.

They can only be hosted on proprietary Canonical servers. That sort of flies in the face of one of the “free” aspects of Linux. Canonical is also sort of fostering a reputation of abandoning/massively changing something core in Ubuntu every couple major releases, which has made some wary of depending on snaps, since if Canonical decides to stop hosting them, anyone dependent on them is kinda screwed. Snaps can also chew up disk space if you’re not careful. I don’t think that’s necessarily unique to snaps, but in my experience that issue has been worse with snaps than with comparable alternatives like flatpaks.

They don’t add milk or milk substitute to blizzards. Blizzards are not shakes.
