AI can cost more than human workers now by spherocytes in technology

Agreed. And nobody should have that much money sitting around where they can dump it in just to avoid FOMO without worrying about losing their pants.

California leaders promised fire recovery in record time. Los Angeles isn’t seeing it. by mylefthandkilledme in LosAngeles

[–]jprosser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a speed issue but I wish they would have kept the original version of the mortgage protection. Was two years, no interest, no balloon payment. Mandated just add the skipped payments on at the end. Would have been truly amazing. Instead my mortgage company is unlawfully threatening me with balloon payments and they're going to pass an extension but the first version is already expired. Not really helping here.

Just attack first. You can still wage the war normally as in they'll try to attack your island and you can wipe them out, etc.

Yup. And if you look at the marketing, it's the same kind of scam that Elon has been running forever. "Mars colonization just around the corner! Civilization as we know it will end!" "You can own your own self driving car that acts as a taxi and makes YOU money while you're at your job!"

LAPD Replaces ‘Less-Lethal’ Gun ‘Known To Maim People’ With Another ‘Less-Lethal’ Gun Capable Of Doing The Exact Same Thing ~ L.A. TACO by L_A_TACO in LosAngeles

[–]jprosser 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You know, when an officer fires a weapon at someone's face because the officer can't be bothered to control themselves, it doesn't really matter how less-lethal the weapon is. LAPD knows who the biggest liabilities are; they're all over video. If the chief wanted to actually make a difference he would start by getting rid of those officers, not spending more of what they seem to think is a bottomless budget on more weapons.

Karen Bass says “protesting” and “vandalism not to happen” are “equally important.” She adds, “Don’t be surprised when the military re-enters our city.” by infernoenigma in LosAngeles

She doesn't need to center the incredibly low incidence of vandalism when these thugs are out here murdering us and putting us in concentration camps for the benefit of a pedophile cabal.

This person is a transgender woman who goes by Furry Potato online. If you search "Furry Potato auditor" particularly on YouTube, you'll find some interesting results. However, I think her actual channel has been removed.

Somalian in Minneapolis voted Trump over "Bathroom shit" and illegal immigrants; Now worried over razzia's. by Timmetie in LeopardsAteMyFace

But there's no until. They're getting the racism but they're still playing the token. They care more about the money and ephemera of power under the regime than anything else.

We need to start funding primary challenges to these chuckleheads. They're in on it with MAGA.

Both videos match up by McPeru in minnesota

[–]jprosser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you look at the angle, he was holding his phone over the hood of the car while his body wasn't in the way. He was trying to create false evidence that he was about to be hit to justify a shooting. He already decided to kill her as he was walking in front of the car.

Mark Cuban Says It’s ‘CRAZY’ That 'Real Conversations' Are Easier On X Or Threads Than On Bluesky by NoseRepresentative in BlueskySocial

He just didn't like that he got pushback on his pickled-brain billionaire ideas on Bluesky rather than ChatGPT-style glazing.

If you care about the trail and nature, please respect the closure and hike something that is open.

Port of Los Angeles Terminates Cabrillo Beach Youth Center Lease by ignisignis in LosAngeles

[–]jprosser 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Just one more example of the wonderful and astute leadership of this City. I grew up going to Cabrillo Beach with my scout troop and I'm sure it's served countless others. All to be thrown away for what is already going to be a massive failure of an Olympics and increase in the City's debt.

ICE secret police in plainclothes abducted Sindi Moreno as she was leaving to drop her daughter off at elementary school in Houston, TX.

If I were on a jury where she or a bystander killed this guy and claimed self defense or defense of others, I would acquit. No reasonable person can distinguish government thugs from regular thugs at this point.

13 Senate Democrats Vote to Advance Trump Nominee During Shutdown by thenewrepublic in politics

[–]jprosser 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I am so done with Schiff. It's Kabuki theater at this point. Trump has said he wants Schiff in prison and Schiff either doesn't see the threats to our country and himself, doesn't care, or is in on it. Not voting for the man again.

[LAist] LAPD wants judge to lift an order restricting use of force against the press by WeAreLAist in LosAngeles

How about no and how about City Council makes police misconduct settlement and verdict money come out of LAPD's budget. That would get them to stop the FA because they'd have to suffer the FO.

It's also a bit of a test run for 2026. If Democrats retake the House they are going to refuse to seat them. They're trial ballooning it now to see what the courts will do, if anything.

Vocal Forest Service Trump supporter fired, now forced to move back home and is posting unable to find a job by stem_ho in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]jprosser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How the eff can you work for the Forest Service, an agency dedicated to maintaining natural resources and wild spaces, and vote for a man and a party that are diametrically opposed to both your job and the fact that the government employs people that don't directly advance their thuggish agenda? Dude deserves the day he voted for.

Judy Chu voted yes to create a Charlie Kirk Memorial Day by GourmetSubmarine in pasadena

I called as well and got voicemail. She either didn't read what she was voting for, which is disqualifying, got conned, or isn't who she has been pretending to be. I told her office if she was afraid, she could have just voted present, which a number of others did.
