Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Ah, so... what exactly is the reason that you think having video of cops makes you safe?

You're trying to avoid seeming foolish. Like when you tried to correct my English.

So... how many languages do you speak?

I never said it made me safe, I just said I have a lot of cameras. You took my comment, added your own thoughts to it, and then attacked me to make yourself feel something inside.

If it wasn’t misinterpreted, then you’re just fabricating information because you desire an argument.

Kinda sad really.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You started this with "thats why it's important to have a lot of cameras", to which someone responded "so the cops can shut them off, like they did Afroman's?", to which you responded "cops wouldn't..."

Then I entered the conversation, because you've asserted what cops would and wouldn't do, showing just how much faith — wrongly, though — you have in the justice system.

You're just really hard trying to ad hoc what you said, but unlike in real life, what has been said is actually on record, so bullshitting your way out of this doesn't work as easily as with your mates in the pub.

Weird how you yourself commented on the "language barrier" and what you thought was an incorrect use of the English language, yet now have completely shut up about it, almost as if you're avoiding comparing your language skills to mine. Perhaps because you don't like feeling stupid?

I’m not reading any of this goodbye

It really is weird that you have this pathological avoidance yet obsess over replying here.

We both know you read it. We both know which of us has more language skills, and we both know what you meant at the start of the thread.

Yes, that's why you can't respond with more than two words, but still have to reply, despite having to also avoid the topics of our language skills and what your comment at the start of this thread meant.
