It’s an issue in many other countries as well and there are a great many contributing factors.

1. Race and “Tough on Crime” politics - Ever since the emancipation of slaves on the basis of race, there have been political figures passing discriminatory policy that allows police to pursue and harass people at their own discretion: black laws, Jim Crow era laws, forced segregation, the 1994 Crime Bill, etc.

“We have to strengthen our laws when it comes to mob violence, to make sure individuals are unequivocally dissuaded from committing violence when they’re in large groups,” Florida state Rep. Juan Fernandez-Barquin, a Republican, said during a hearing for an anti-riot bill that was enacted in April.

It’s clear that you can convince people to deregulate and militarize the police if you convince those people they have a greater enemy. You can see these stances and policy directions mirrored across Europe as refugees and immigration from poorer countries have increased in the last decade.

2. Lack of Centralization - The FBI is in charge of investigating police departments, and sometimes you see jurisdiction overlaps which allows other agencies like the DEA, State Marshals, Sheriff’s Department, etc to investigate each other, but in general a Police Department is held to no standard but their own until things have already escalated past a point of return.

Some federal programs have tried rewarding PDs that behave well and adhere to specific training or standards, but it’s far from enforced.

TBF though, US use of force has been underreported and lacked nationwide statistics for most of the previous decades. If I’m not mistaken, one of the federal agencies who attempted to track it stopped giving annual reports in 2017? Idk I’m kind of fuzzy about that.

Rather than number of unique applications, I meant amount of traffic when I said “most.”

Stock exchanges, some but not all streaming services, gaming, and any form of direct human communication over internet would be heavily impacted. It could also potentially increase frequency of timeouts during authentication attempts which would make everything else slightly more annoying to use as well.

A large amount but at 500ms+ latency it might as well be useless for most applications.

And his daughter’s textile business.

And all of his own merchandise.

No no! Its fine! He still allows trade and immigration from all over the world, it’s just that it can only be people he personally allows. /sarcasm

Jokes on you, they both already do cocaine.

Blade? Did they bring Wesley Snipes back? Haven’t seen that guy since Expendables 2 and they did him dirty with the CGI Parkour.

Did they remember to kill the lead actor half way into production, this time?

EDIT: Too soon?

The cause being what?

They murdered thousands of people in cities across China. Footage and imagery are very easily accessible all over the internet, and you’re also arguing that there was no trade degredation between China and other nations after 1989?

Present it

In the thumbnail is the Tiananmen Square Tank Man.

Are you claiming a globally televised event which lead to a complete breakdown of trade relations across the world in the 90s, didn’t happen?

The other team has taken a stance against racism so now this team had to adopt racism and due to a troubled history of racism in the USA and a majority demographic of 70% white folks, probably even more voter demographics, the Racism has a non-zero chance of winning.

It doesn’t help that we’re just now stepping into a whole new era of algorithmically manipulating the masses with digital psyops.

What? Some of them actually made it in? SMH Florida…

For me it would be Sheriff Arpaio. That definitely happened in the good timeline where he didn’t get a presidential pardon.

History can only be made once, but you get to revise it every single day.

EDIT: To clarify I am mocking the Russians for re-stalinization.

Sometimes I add some cinnamon amd a tiny bit of ground cloves and ginger, turns just about any bland protein drink into a spice cake flavor.

I feel like protein mixes are trying to be flavored like dairy products when instead they should try to be flavored like eccentric tea and coffee house beverages.

This next statement is off topic a bit, but I bought a Muscle Milk Strawberry powder once and it was just bland vanilla with little tiny bits of occasional strawberry. 0/10

Fruits and veggies are great for gut biome and the fiber helps keep you moving, but there is such a thing as too much bowel movement.

TBH, the best weightloss options are actually a liquid supplement diet, the kind that come in bins of powder with a plastic scoop inside and PROTEIN written across the front. Most of them are meal replacers, and some of them are also low calorie.

If you stick to a vegan diet expecting to lose weight you’ll usually fall into the trap of a high carb diet instead.
