I still have the quirk from my younger years and more hood tendencies of smacking my lips when I speak ๐Ÿซ . I have tried to stop this habit and it just has me in a headlock.

They yelled about how we'd need the police for daily function and that community policing was unrealistic. How defunding was irrational drivel. But, BUT apparently they are functionally useless and need the military to do their job now.

What Europeโ€™s New Gig Work Law Means for Unions and Technology At EFF, we believe that tech rights are workerโ€™s rights. Since the pandemic, workers of all kinds have been subjected to increasingly invasive forms of bossware. These are the โ€œalgorithmic
