Isn't this movie like 17 years old?

About 10 years ago it was probably closer to 80% IPAs. It was a big joke here that IPA stands for I Pretend (I'm not an) Alcoholic.

The only reason there is more on the market now is because we all stopped pretending the taste of motor oil with grapefruit gave us a better buzz.

Even now, most breweries will only seem to offer 4 varieties of IPAs, a pilsner/lager and a stout. Maybe an Amber but I feel the Mac & Jack's copycat scene has mostly died out now.

Generally journalists are considered off limits by most. Most people have more to lose by fucking with them than they have to gain.

Which is why I think it likely these were people wanting a street reputation as fearless.

The cameras are generally branded to the station though, aren't they?

[–] brambledog@infosec.pub 12 points 1 year ago (7 children)

I really don't know about that. It's a $20,000 camera probably, but there is a good chance the rig itself is likely 10 years old, so the lens is likely the only thing they could make a few hundred off of, but that isn't enough for a 3 man job.

I suspect robbing a journalist and taking their camera is to make their name known. They probably ditched the camera pretty close to immediately.

Stop being a cop and get into private security for all the rich folks he just peacocked for.

Yeah, this was the outcome that was predicted when they allowed real estate brokers to also be property managers.

People wonder why starter homes havent existed on the market for 25 years and the answer is because nobody builds them, and when they do go up for sale, real estate agents are sending them the way of clients they already represent as property managers.

Why sell a house for 3% commission just once when you can sell it to somebody you are already partnered with and then make a 5% comission every month for the rest of your professional career while maybe only putting 15 hours per year worth of work into the unit?

Pretty much every issue in America comes down to the partnership of banks, real estate agents and landlords.

Apple is the company who gave all the elementary schools free computers in exchange for putting their advertising posters up in.the hallways.

It was fully intentional.

If we let conservatives ban 1984, they will be forced to stop pretending they have read it, and comparing everything irrelevant to it, while we can still illegally access it.

Something to think.about.

Historic rates of vaping?

Yeah, the product isn't even 20 years old yet. I am in the process of quitting right now.

From the government's perspective? There is often value in releasing the person. They almost never realize their phone lines are tapped and the first thing they do is run to their friends and start incriminating them further.

There is often the issue that these right wing cells are without their knowledge governmental "stay behind" cells who are operating somewhat under the jurisdiction of factions of the US government who are legally barred from operating clandestine missions on US borders.

In terms of the Proud Boys, their leader is a journalist who was officially on the Canadian pay roll before they became a fascist paramilitary leader. Seeing that immigrants who are members of political extremist groups are barred from having permanent residence in the US, while registered spies are not. These are things we have to speculate on, unfortunately.

The more of us willing to drop the anonymous organizing, the safer it becomes for those of us who aren't anonymous.
