Failed State.

[Chorus: Cop]

Trigger squeeze, knees give, bodies drop into the street

Thousand rounds will put you down, we got enough for every sound

You flinch at me? Yuh, yuh (You flinch at me?)

I pull up and make it a scene (I pull up and make it a scene)

Yuh, yuh, I pull up and sweep with the beam

[Verse 1: Cop]

Toss another shell on the ground, I don't need a reason, chief –

Just a twitch, a cough, a sneeze, and I'm squeezin'

Watch you drop like a busted pipe

I'm the jumpy type, soon as I hear a noise at night

I can't talk, just dump the mag

Into the dark – better safe than sorry, that's my flag

I'm a fiend for the trigger, ain't no safety

Count every round, reincarnate Dirty Harry

Fuck the de-escalation, I'm on high alert

I meditate on cover, you're so fake – you got hurt

I'll put two in your chest just for reaching for your face

The badge protects, clear the scene while I seal the case

[Chorus: Cop]

Trigger squeeze, knees give, bodies drop into the street

Thousand rounds will put you down, we got enough for every sound

You flinch at me? Yuh, yuh (You flinch at me?)

I pull up and make it a scene (I pull up and make it a scene)

Yuh, yuh, I pull up and sweep with the beam

[Verse 2: Cop]

So many civilians around me, yet I feel so alone

I'm a war vet walkin', sirens singin' my tone

You want that reckless fire? Go watch the bodycam to it

City's finest, you'll find us inside that cruiser, ready to do it

People right in front of my face –

But they really might lunge or reach for their back

I been on go for a minute –

Yeah, they really might move me off of my track

Yeah, I got a partner, but I still got a thousand rounds in my pack

Trigger-happy hero, a hundred clips flexin' –

But still jump at a crack

[Chorus: Cop] Trigger squeeze, knees give, bodies drop into the street

Thousand rounds will put you down, we got enough for every sound

You flinch at me? Yuh, yuh (You flinch at me?)

I pull up and make it a scene (I pull up and make it a scene)

Yuh, yuh, I pull up and sweep with the beam

Media IPs I loved repeatedly get wrecked by the companies that own them for the sake of easy profit.

They can't even get the BREAD or CIRCUSES correct. Like jfc. Truly mind boggling.

Cool freedom internet -> lets chase ease of use and mass appeal -> every tom dick johanne and susy join -> shitpost facebook internet

Cool freedom internet -> requires using SOME modicum of brain power and ability -> Cool freedom internet

on a serious note, in a lot of these discussions you all start with the assumption that the masses want a freedom net and can handle a freedom net. you just need to look at the current internet fully supported by and shaped by the masses choices to understand why that is faulty.

No one forced mass social media adoption, it was willingly chosen, and continues to be chosen despite the known and publicized(mainstream news) dangers/issues

the ability to exit back to personal sites, etc was always there. inb4 "people have no personal responsibility and they were held at gunpoint"

so let people sit in their piss pool happily, stop trying to advocate for them, the ones that truly want change will make it happen.

In comparison, the daily time spent with social media in the U.S. was just 2 hours and 16 minutes.

so you're telling me people can spend 2 hours a day on social media, but cant take the time to learn "pip install" to gain back their tech sovereignty, that they supposedly care about, do they even care???

1. technology progresses and doesnt sleep
2. you are not everyone

IKTYKTIKTYK the real solution this problem, and its not another attempt at a federated message board 😏

Praise our benevolent overseers, truly they are the chosen ones to lead us to paradise.

I mean, you’re in a network/platform that goes as far as encouraging you to use multiple accounts, so what’s stopping you from doing it right?!

easy access to weapons grade software like llms that can deanonymize users across multiple posts across the entire web

pretty dang fragile So tired of fragile software BUT its usually free and responsibility falls on me to contribute or stfu.

Now shitty paid software? I could rant for days.

I'm saving nextcloud for when I need to scale and have more hardware.

never hurts to learn.

Odoo seems super heavy for my use-case but thanks for sharing. Never hurts to have backups. easyappointments doesn't seem too bad.

The site is basic wordpress atm and I've got a separate server for hosting webapps.

Thanks this might be the solution. Fingers crossed it supports round-cube without issues.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but you're saying shared/sync'd and updateable calendars outside of big tech like google is still an unsolved problem?
