Technology@kbin.social•The Wildly Unconstitutional New Laws Trying to Criminalize Filming Cops
1·3 years agoI think I asked to record a conversation with some cops and I was told no then, too. I was complaining that my upstairs neighbor had been screaming for six hours straight and had been slamming and breaking things. At night.
They asked why I was cursing and being aggressive towards them (I literally just said it was fucking loud or something) and they told me I should be more sympathetic towards her because she has a mental illness. Okay. She also has a criminal history and she came at me with a knife. She was acting up because she was drunk and part of our lease was no alcohol usage on the property or we’d be evicted immediately. Manager did find a beer can of hers and she was still living there. She nearly destroyed her apartment and mine by flooding it and then refusing to use the fans because she didn’t like it (note that I had the fans on too and I’m autistic so I’m sensitive to loud noise). Point is, there’s mental illness and there’s being a scumbag. She refused treatment too and I’m pretty sure treatment was another condition of living there. They wouldn’t evict anyone for anything serious, but when I slandered them I was threatened with eviction and arrest.

Technology@kbin.social•The Wildly Unconstitutional New Laws Trying to Criminalize Filming Cops
2·3 years agoPretty sure it’s already against the law in Illinois. You can’t film anyone without their consent.
My building’s management was threatening illegal shit to me. I asked if I could record the conversation for my records; manager smiled and said no, that’s against the law.
She was managing a building for severely mentally ill individuals. And was doing horrible things. She threatened me because I called her out on Facebook for not treating bed bugs in the residence of a vulnerable, unnamed individual. Lmao. Said I was violating HIPAA and she would have me arrested. I emailed her the law that states that HIPAA only applies to employees <3
So glad I got out of there. They were massive dicks and were constantly threatening to evict me. While other residents were violent and RACIST (most of the residents were black, they had a white resident that called a CHILD the n word) and they weren’t evicted. I hate this planet.

2·3 years agoyes! what about the people currently all over the world who are lgbt and live in countries where being lgbt is fucking illegal? what are you doing for them?
yeah, it’s not a fucking joke, it’s spreading and we’re just sitting here complaining about it while it fucking gets worse. abortion rights out the window, lgbt rights out the window. it is already happening here. what’s your alternative?

21·3 years agowhat are you currently doing for all the children in all the other countries where it isn’t safe to be lgbt? is your plan to take over those countries? what is your plan here now? if we don’t secede, what are we doing? the fascists are winning here. we can leave or we can let them win; we are doing nothing which is letting them win. you can’t save everyone.

22·3 years agolike in an abusive relationship, the abused are not responsible for the shitty actions of the abuser. you don’t tell the abused to stay and wait for the abuser to have a change of heart, you get them the hell out of there.

22·3 years agoso we allow them to continue to pass bigoted laws? because that’s what’s happening. i’m disabled, unable to work, and lgbt. i’ve got maybe $10 to last me for a month, not enough food stamps to cover food. this shit is scaring me. if i want to move to a progressive country i need to work there; they aren’t accepting people who will drain their resources. they’re killing us. let them kill themselves.

237·3 years agoi wish the left could just pass a law banning harmful religion
i personally don’t care what you believe nor should freedom of religion go away, but this is exhausting
it’d be nice if we could just split into different countries; tired of dealing with these people. let them have their own fascist christian everyone-that’s-not-a-cishet-white-man-phobic country with zero taxes and fucked up roads and people realizing they have no choice but to hang themselves by their bootstraps when shit hits the fan. the rest of us will have a country where we take care of each other and don’t engage in harmful, childish drama.

81·3 years agoi want to add - if you need to arm yourself but for some reason cannot have a gun, there are non-lethal weapons and guns out there. not perfect, but definitely better than going completely unarmed. if you are able to workout, that helps too. if you’re unarmed and a fast runner or a good fighter, that again is better than nothing at all.
