  • “It is with great sadness that I and the rest of the Geary police officers will no longer be serving this community,” Ford wrote, “but it was the right decision for me and the other officers.”

    Ford, without elaboration, encouraged residents of the town of nearly 1,000 about 50 miles (80 kilometers) northwest of Oklahoma City to become acquainted with the city council “and to be as involved as possible in the city, especially attending the city council meetings.”

    The message from the police is “fuck you if I don’t get my way” as the authoritarian budget is finally becoming unsustainable and requires cuts. They quit in protest, thinking the spike in crime from their absence will stoke public outcry to reinstate the original budget. When this won’t work as they imagined, as a town of just 1000 is actually rather uneventful, they will perpetrate the crimes they believe they are needed for, like theft and vandalism.

    Either way, quitting a public safety job en masse in protest is telling the community that they can go fuck themselves. They even told others who to pout to because the police tantrum isn’t working. Lazy, callous authoritarians.



  • Intel can’t afford to keep making GPUs because it doesn’t have the reliable CPU side to soak up the losses. The GPU market has established players and Intel, besides being a big name, didn’t bring much to the table to build a place for itself in the market. Outside of good Linux support (I’ve heard, but not personally used) the Intel GPUs don’t stand out for price or performance.

    Intel is struggling with its very existence and doesn’t have the money or time to explore new markets when their primary product is cratering their own revenue. Intel has a very deep problem with how it is run and will most likely be unable to survive as-is for much longer.

    They do both. Russia uses as many different approaches as they can to help their mark ignore one and bond with another. It’s why they use democrats like Tulsi Gabbard to get leftist voters as well as third party candidates and right wing candidates too. Their goal is to divide people into inaction, which is just as good as ignoring or approval.

    The only thing Russia doesn’t do is tell the whole truth. It’s why actually looking into sources and getting lots of varied sources defeats their approach. Russia preys on the lazy.
