Yeah, fucking die for your misdemeanor against non-law enforcement ICE agents, peasant trash!
We, who are not law enforcement officers and cannot detain citizens, surrounded your vehicle and gave you conflicting orders and one of us got in front of your car against department policy and drew his lethal firearm for a traffic infraction they cannot legally enforce, while you were distracted by the other attempting to rip you from your car, then blew your fucking brains out point blank after he was already out of danger.
You should have known better and reacted to this totally normal situation with perfect clarity, like all citizens are clearly trained for years to do.
Us, the masked and untrained and extrajudicial Gestapo who don't identify themselves while disappearing members of your community have no obligations to deescalation or proportional response, total immunity to all crimes, and can make you do anything we want while we whisk you to whatever prison we want while denying any official papers we want, and you aren't allowed to fear us!
Oh, and sorry we actually made you commit that traffic infraction by driving recklessly around you. We own the fucking roads and you should know that, dumb piece of shit civilian.
I mean, the comment above is now flagged and dead. Doesn't that mean the mods killed someone's comment solely for giving their opinion on the state of their own country?
EDIT: And [dead] removed now. Fascinating. I checked the unofficial guide on GitHub again to confirm my understanding:
> A [dead] submission (that does not also show [flagged]) is killed by a moderator or by the software. They will only be shown to users who have showdead enabled in their profile. A submission can simultaneously be [flagged] and [dead].
I saw your comment, vouched for the comment you're referring to, and it reappeared. I don't have a full understanding of how vouching works; it could be that I was one of several, or that it was only coincidental that it reappeared just after I vouched for it.
> the comment above is now flagged and dead. Doesn't that mean the mods killed someone's comment
No, it doesn't mean that. [flagged] is by users, not mods. [flagged][dead] means enough users have flagged it to kill it. [dead] alone is the result of moderator action (manual or automatic).
No, the VP of Maduro was installed. His party still holds all power and Venezuela's democracy is still dead. But now they're also a puppet state allowing the US to extract their oil for profit.
The President of the United States quite literally plainly stated on national TV that we did it for oil and will be sending US oil companies in to steal their oil to sell for ourselves.
He even went so far as to say it was “our” oil a few weeks ago. That was quickly forgotten among a stream of other outrageous things that happen daily.
Today seems like a day to rewatch Team America: World Police
Maybe try learning something about oil extraction before making insane claims that it is even possible for an oil company to just roll up and "steal" oil and send it back to the US.
I'm no fan of Trump, and I believe he's basically gone rogue, but, literally, he never said what you say he said. If I missed something, please provide a reference, but I doubt you'll find anything. You simply misheard. He's been extremely brazen in mentioning such a crass topic as American interest in Venezuelan oil, which normally would be pushed vigorously under the rug, but he didn't go as far as saying that's the reason. The official (and preposterous by itself) reason is still the drugs.
My take concords with what @JumpCrisscross said elsewhere in this thread:
"HN sometimes has trouble understanding coalitions.
Some support for oil. Some want to unseat a dictator. Some are concerned about Venezuela being a hive of Chinese, Russian and Iranian activity. Some did it to destabilise Cuba, or lay the groundwork for hitting Iran. Still others are just plain psychopaths and like blowing things up."
I would add that personal pique probably had as big a part in this decision as anything else.
"We're going to have our very large United States oil companies, the biggest anywhere in the world, go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure, the oil infrastructure, and start making money for the country, and we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so," Trump said.
Yes, and? Read my comment and the comment I was replying to. Nowhere did Trump "literally admit" they went in "for the oil". Nor that they plan to "steal the oil". I'm not saying that that's not part of the reason (probably is, but not the only one). Trump though, didn't "literally admit it". This whole adventure is outrageous and misguided enough as it is, without us needing to bend the truth to make it feel even more so.
Filmmaker is warm because it follows the standardized D6500 whitepoint. But that's the monitor whitepoint it is mastered against, and how it's intended to be seen.
TV producers always set their sets to way higher by default because blue tones show off colors better.
As a result of both that familiarity and the better saturation, most people don't like filmmaker when they try to use it at first. After a few weeks, though, you'll be wondering why you ever liked the oversaturated neons and severely off brightness curve of other modes.
Your entire rhetoric is nuts if you swap it out with other crimes:
"I prefer when we can just murder people openly in the streets with no consequences or even shame. It's hypocritical to say murder she be frowned upon and forced to be done in cover of night out of fear of reprisal."
No, what they're saying is that it has gotten so bad now that the crimes are being committed constantly and in the open with no fear or worry that anything bad will ever happen.
And you're over here being coy thinking you're so clever by ignoring the scale and long-term implications.
nope, I just don’t fall for the sensantionalism and clickbait shit like “oh oh shit is really bad now, OMG we were such a sancuary before but look at us now…”
> what they're saying is that it has gotten so bad now that the crimes are being committed constantly and in the open with no fear or worry that anything bad will ever happen.
this is all false and coming from your own echochamber. it has always been this way, just now you read to much shit on your social media feed and getting all upset how sky is falling, democracy is dying, shit real bad now…
