We both know he was using the broken tail light as probable cause for a stop. He wanted him to pull over because he suspected he was drunk or on drugs or simply because he was black with a broken tail light.

As soon as the man didn't pull over the cop got his hackles up and now he was definitely going to stop him. Escalation is the way with cops.

As Doctorow points out, 'Saying security and privacy don't matter because you have nothing to hide is like saying freedom of speech doesn't mater because you have nothing to say.'

This is why companies have cheap toilet paper by the way. Not because they necessarily hate their employees, but because it would get stolen and they'd need three times as much.

I read that stuff a few weeks ago. And the responses and discussion on Kagi's Discord. I'll continue to monitor Kagi's behavior, of course, but for now I prefer Kagi. I get far more relevant results with no advertising noise and as much or as little "AI" assistance as I want.

Google is a cesspool and DDG is simply inferior - worthy, but inferior.

There's a reason Primus' Les Claypool mentions the 7 Layer Burrito in "Wynonna's Big Brown Beaver".

The shit was good.

McDonald's Beef tallow fries. One of the great losses of my early life.

Try Kagi. Paid search engines are the future in order to extract yourself from the enshittification of "free" search engines.
