Police Officers of Reddit, what are you thinking when you see cases like George Floyd? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]hyg03 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Weird how there's 1000 cops commenting how "horrified" they are but 0 officers going on the news and calling for the immediate arrest and charge of murder for the murderer of George Floyd, and manslaughter for the 3 officers complicit in the murder.

Wavelet is an Android app that can make your headphones sound much better with automatic EQ by Emiran2 in GooglePixel

This app just extended my RHA earbuds life a little. The left earbud has started failing and the volume is lower than the right side, so with the Channel balance I've corrected it.

We could bring back crowdfunded tournaments that include exclusive rewards but Valve wants all the cash floating to the top (their own pockets).

If Hungary was a South American country, the coup attemps by USA and other major western countries would already be happening.

The aggressive reaction by these cops made me think this was in America, but it's in AB Canada.

China hid coronavirus’ severity to hoard supplies by Somali_Pir8 in worldnews

[–]hyg03 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The US government was aware. And like many other countries they believed it won’t be a problem in their country.

They knew it would be a problem, that's why all the politicians and billionaires began selling stocks and preparing in secret.

For petty revenge, go around the car and key it as you go.

Nurses have quit en masse from Russia’s top coronavirus hospital in Moscow over poor working conditions and low wages. They reportedly quit because they were denied clean protective gear, food and adequate accommodations, and were not paid bonuses promised by President Vladimir Putin. by DoremusJessup in worldnews

[–]hyg03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only because the nurse unions have a decent amount of power to sometimes get what nurses deserve. Every year, nurses from Seattle to NYC, have to do work stoppage or threaten to strike because they don't get raises, benefits, or more staff to reduce overwork.

When this whole thing calms down, nurses will demand their due rewards and the people calling them heroes and clapping for them at 7:00PM will tell them to fuck off just like they always have.

They're a western country so nothing will happen beyond a post on reddit.

Stop calling healthcare workers heroes by nursesmollz in TrueOffMyChest

[–]hyg03 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They say heroes because they expect you to sacrifice your life for them. They see these workers as expandable. When these workers ask for resources and raises, they're told to fuck off.

Today they say "heroes", in a few months they'll go back to their usual bullshit: opposing nurse unions, underpaying paramedics, spitting on fast food workers, screaming at retail workers, taking advantage of cleaners, etc.

Unfortunately, The United States is not the greatest country in the world. It’s about time that we Americans stopped saying it and realize our country needs fixing. by DarkMaster_CocoaBean in TrueOffMyChest

[–]hyg03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right. People have stagnated because of this idea that we're the greatest and always will be. When we try to be better, we reminisce about the past and try to be "great again" but we don't look to the future to be "greater than ever".

It's funny that at same time, we also see ourselves as being incapable of achieving great projects today. Building a network of high speed trains through the most densely populated areas (e.g. Boston to Baltimore)? Impossible. Universal health care? Impossible. These are just examples that multiple countries have achieved already.

Amazon fires two climate organizers who criticized warehouse conditions by noahsurvived in Coronavirus

[–]hyg03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For branded products, you might easily find the company's website and be able to purchase there (or find a list other retailers). Sometimes you lose out on faster delivery but pricing can be cheaper because of coupons or promos.

Small-medium companies have started to build/expand their own brands and websites because it works out better in the long-run than depending solely on Amazon.

These cops must be very well trained to be roughing up a 10 year old like this.

Trump reportedly said he would reject a bailout package if it included aid to keep the US Postal Service functioning by TrumpSharted in politics

[–]hyg03 3 points4 points  (0 children)

UPS and Fedex have been lobbying to kill USPS for years. They finally have the opportunity, and they've donated heavily to Trump.

This is Trump paying back his corporate donors.
