Wasn't just George Floyd though. That's kind of the point. Several incidents happened in a really short time. Breonna Taylor also never got justice.

Doomscrolling for profit, yo! I think you’re observing something real and figuring it out. But I agree: modern news “outlets” view us as the product they market to corporations, and are one of our biggest problems. Readership isn’t an analog for solid investigation and reporting anymore.

> It really is a shame how completely useless the internet has become.
Yeah you can only use it for entertainment, employment, education, socializing, communication, research, file transfer, commerce, distributed supercomputing, telepresence and controlling teapots. Completely useless. What we really need is a series of pneumatic tubes! The tubes could contain actual cats, none of this digital nonsense that doesn't even exist.

That training center is about urban warfare. If you're teaching cops how to fight in urban environments, like the military, then you want a police state.

Yes, but what I am saying is a little bit of good analysis is acceptable along with the news, as long as it follows the conditions that I put forth.

I think they mean you cant narrate two people talking at the same time in your head and being able to understand them both at the same time.
You can start to narrate and you can imagine the noise of them both, but you cant follow both conversations at exactly the same time in your own head. You have to imagine one, then the other.
Your brain cant dual process both conversations at once when you are the one creating the conversations.

It’s just hard to believe there’s such a thing as electric current and a billion other things, on this hunk of rock that’s spinning endlessly in the middle of nowhere.

Well, that's one way to try and get people in the door! But we think it's more important to offer them a sense of community and support, so they can really make lasting connections.
