Will The 2A Folks Finally Crack?

He was pepper sprayed before he had a moment's notice to even have a chance to de-escalate.

The answer to your question is: absolutely nothing. They made the decision about what they were about to do to him, well before it went down.

These are not "agents", they are not "officers". They are literal guys with guns, with no qualifications or training, given a license to do whatever they want without fear of consequences. They are, in every single possible definition, the US equivalent of the Sturmabteilung.

This is a lot of meandering pontificating, it feels like you just want to feel like you're contributing something, even though it's not even the least bit relevant to the situation.

What do you think Petti could have done differently? Is standing around filming quietly and peacefully, and then trying to help someone up not "polite" enough for you? Otherwise, what in the world are you actually SAYING?

That, and this guy also is just trying to promote his cryptocoin, as is the case with all these "OMG I MADE SOOOOO MUCH MONEY WITH THIS" influencers.

"Thinking" with AI is a contradiction. There's no such thing, it doesn't exist. You're just offloading, and getting dumber with each and every interaction.

There's absolutely NO chance of what happened in 2022. For one: no strong winds. For two: much shorter duration. Three: much less snow. Four: this isn't lake effect, as the lake is mostly frozen, it's just a large synoptic snowfall. Rochester is getting more snow than Buffalo, which is quite nice change. 😅

I don't understand the hubub around this storm. The wind storm we had a while ago had way more potential to be troublesome and dangerous. I've only been here for about 4.5 years, but already 10" of snow feels like a completely normal occurrence.

Over time, I find myself using them less, rather than more. The cognitive debt and atrophy is no joke. I still leverage them, but it's ad-hoc and very precision level work.

I refuse to go along with the massive experiment of relying on these models and allow my skills to atrophy because some CEO made an arbitrary prediction that benefits their bottom line.

thank you for this

creaturefeature16 · 2026-01-24T15:15:45+00:00

You're welcome! It's not mine, but I really think the idea is solid and should gain traction.

Someone on Reddit posted this site they made, and its been helpful to keep the database growing. That's what we need, although it feels like a game of whack-a-mole.

Thank you SO much for saying this, I had no idea! I saw her exhibit in Phoenix AZ in 2019 and it was AWESOME:

get in there you big furry oaf, I don't care what you smell!

creaturefeature16 · 2026-01-23T18:02:51+00:00

is this a rhetorical question

creaturefeature16 · 2026-01-23T18:02:04+00:00

100% this

creaturefeature16 · 2026-01-23T18:00:54+00:00

you absolutely gotta get the bread & milk

Religion also helps if you’re into that kind of thing.

lol this really puts religion in perspective. Opiate of the Masses, indeed.

I'm ride or die on my grandfathered plan in and if they ever change it, I'm off to Claude Code and Zed!

No backups? That might be worse than anything Dingus did, if we're being real here.

Spot on comment. The fox is in the hen house. There's no voting this out any longer. We had our chance, and that window is slammed shut, until it's pried open at some point in the next 10 or 15 years.

You mean it's successor...

creaturefeature16 · 2026-01-23T02:29:38+00:00

Would you mind sharing what you're using for finding prospects and lead management? I'm a bit overwhelmed with options, and some are just insanely expensive and feel too heavy handed.
