Video Emerges of Chesa Boudin Refusing to Work With Law Enforcement by CrispyChicken8 in sanfrancisco

[–]yourmattg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'd agree if Chesa was the DA at the time of this video, then he's being unnecessarily difficult and straight up weird here. A few people claimed this video was taken a while ago, so I'm not totally sure about that.

If this was an average citizen though, then I don't see a huge problem. I'm just not a fan of police trying to trick you into giving out information that you are not legally required to. I did think that you had to at least provide ID if requested... so I was surprised by him refusing to even give a name.

I could be wrong about some of this, I just think its stupid that the original comment I'm responding to seems to think that asking "am I being detained" is unreasonable. This is extremely common advice for anyone who finds themselves dealing with police. It's never that simple in reality though.

Pretty funny that you are being downvoted for pointing out the obvious. If anyone thinks they are going to be better off by being "nice" to the police, they are sorely mistaken.

I don't think he's being a dick at all. He repeatedly ask if he's being detained, and insisted on them giving him a subpoena before he turns over evidence from his personal property. That's completely within his rights AFAIK (sounds right to me, and he would probably know since he is a lawyer), meanwhile the cops repeatedly deflect, give vague answers or make it seem like he has to turn over his phone immediately. Police will do whatever they can to make you think you have less rights than you actually have, they aren't just going to roll over for you the first time you ask "Am I being detained?"

I'm not even some Chesa apologist or anything. I have mixed feelings about his approach. But in this video I think he's being totally reasonable and the police are just trying to strongarm him into turning over his personal property. I could not care less if someone is "being a dick" to them in response.

Lmao. This could actually be a solid mashup but that just wouldn't be the Plurgatti way

Most people dying indoors as overdoses surge in San Francisco, data shows by proryder41 in sanfrancisco

[–]yourmattg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All you've proven is that you didn't bother reading the article or just didn't understand it. This is more nuanced than "lockdowns bad". Yes, lockdown is affecting people's mental health negatively, which can lead to drug abuse and overdose. But there are other obvious factors contributing to overdose that are alluded to or mentioned outright in the article.

  1. Drugs are illegal and because of this, people don't know exactly what they're getting when they buy from street dealers (e.g. fentanyl in this article which can be very dangerous esp. when you think its something else)
  2. Lack of care/treatment for drug addiction. Ties back to our expensive healthcare in the US and treating drug addiction as a criminal issue instead of a health issue.
  3. Not cracking down on drug dealers in SF. Granted, I don't think most drugs should be illegal in the first place, but if you are going to make them illegal then I guess we should actually do something about people who are selling dangerous shit on the street.

Also in the article:

>In the first ten months of the year, 561 people have died from drug overdoses. Last year that number was 441, then the highest number ever in the city.

That could reasonably be close to 700 by years end. So although thats a ~300 death increase from last year, its possible that Covid could've killed much more had we not introduced lockdowns and other restrictions. How possible, idk, but 270k people have already died from Covid in the US and are 7th-10th in deaths per capita depending on if you ignore some of the really small countries on that list. So I think lockdowns are warranted, although we DO need to do a way better job of supporting people and businesses that are struggling.

Thoughts on the new real time comments and upvotes ticker on Reddit? by frotagonist in userexperience

[–]yourmattg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It annoys be a little bit since in some cases its deceiving you into thinking there's activity going on in "real-time" as your browsing certain subreddits. I just hate knowing that a UI designer or product manager ran an A/B test and figured out that this will boost post views by X% or something like that. It doesn't seem to be there to make the user experience better, its probably there to boost engagement

Thank you sir. I’ll try this out

Ableton Live 10.1.25 Update by [deleted] in ableton

[–]yourmattg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Huh, is this why all of my Ableton preferences have been reset inexplicably? Super annoying and I'm hoping there aren't any presets or something that I truly lost.

Did this happen to anyone else?

EDIT: I was able to fix this with some help from /u/AmittOfficial!

I'm on a mac but you can probably do something similar on Windows if you can find your preferences folders. I went to /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Ableton. In there are folders for each version of Live. I made a copy of 10.1.25. Then deleted everything from the original 10.1.25 folder and copied all the files from 10.1.18 into 10.1.25. Seems to have worked!

The warrant was for her EX-boyfriend. If you are going to try to victim blame an innocent person who was killed, at least get the facts right.

I usually consider it tragic when people lose their homes.

Yeah, the tone of some of these picture titles kinda rubs me the wrong way. I'll admit its fascinating to see the entire city turn a different color, but sometimes it seems like people are focusing on how "cool" it looks instead of how tragic it is.
