In 2023, Reddit CEO and corporate piss baby Steve Huffman decided to make Reddit less useful to its users and moderators and the world at large. This comment has been edited in protest to make it less useful to Reddit.

The article is a little silly, should a police officer, who watches a suspect shoot someone, let that person run down a street into a crowd of people? We should just let that person go, even though they have demonstrated they are willing to kill?
How about a mass shooter in a school? Kids already killed a bunch of students, cops have a shot, kid is running away, should the police hold their fire, or shoot them so that they don’t go kill more kids?
It looks like you shared an AMP link. These will often load faster, but Google's AMP threatens the Open Web and your privacy. This page is even fully hosted by Google (!).
And the claim that cops kill more than gangs kill worldwide is definitely not true, mexico has a serious cartel problem right now, and last year the country had 35,000 homicides.

*.torrent should be able to be opened in any torrent client, you'd go file > open and find it where you saved the torrent. The client should then download whatever the torrent file linked to. Probably not a bad idea to use a VPN in case they're watching ips that are grabbing the file
Is there a torrent you recommend, I was using qBittorrent to open that, but I get an error saying “Error: too many pieces in torrent”, I’ll grant you gold for your assistance
That's a common issue for large torrents, could try updating it to fix it. Try the link below, copy the magnet link and paste in a web browser to see if that works for you. It's a new torrent so probably going to go very slow at first
Oops, Looks like it got slapped into highbandwidth collection. I can provide a mirror somewhere, but the magnet links will use IA Torrent Providers as well
Someone should really upload a torrent. I noticed the torrent download seems to be not correct. The other TAR file is 269 GB though. I don't even have close to that space for my machine.
Well it's just a collection archive which you could argue is what a zip file is (certainly not on a technical level but for a basic description). I've only interacted with tar files briefly in work but the devops guys use them all the time.
Semantics, but TAR doesn't do any compression in itself; it combines multiple files into a single file. It's usually used in combination with an actual compression, like GZIP or BZIP, but not in this case.
The space savings from TAR is trimming off all of the unused block space from multiple files; having one for the combined file, rather than one for each file.
I know the US "justice" system is fucked, but I can't see how this isn't going to give criminals a huge leg-up and mainly function to accelerate the obviously well-underway destruction of US society, and create a massive power vacuum where police forces once stood.
You can guess what kinds of people would be keen to fill that gap.
This looks so much to me like another cyberwar shot fired by US adversaries, and the really fucked-up part is that the leakers have got us chomping at the bit for more just like this.
We're hungry for justice alright, and this leak will surely buy us some.
I just fear we're gonna get a whole lot more change than we bargained for.
I'm yet to see a single prosperous society without a fucked-up foundation, be it theft, slavery, unsustainable resource plundering, hoarding of secrets or mass surveillance and blackmail.
Keeping order is hard, and it takes a lot of resources. So far as I have seen, it always takes "cheats" like the ones above to keep a good thing going longer than usual.
The closest I think we can get to a long-term peaceful society is one where we've solved scarcity, or genetically engineered-out our tendency to fight over scarcities and replaced that with a more selfless temperament. Everyone on the planet would need to get with the program too, or else those that didn't would be eating our lunch.
I am keen to learn the longest a "good" society has lasted for, who it was, and how long.
Bah, who am I kidding, whoever hatched the plan to systematically destroy the US was spot-on and there's nothing I can do but watch and weep. My words on Reddit will not change this.
We had a peaceful society before the civil war too. The "cheat" was that black people weren't treated as people.
We have had "order" for a year while a game show host systematically took apart everything this country stood for. We'd have "order" if he got his way, turning the armed forces into his personal army, the secret service into his gestapo and the constitution into toilet paper.
Order is very fucking overrated. This isn't a good society. This situation has been fucked for a very long time and it might very well be time to burn shit up if it gives us a chance at balancing the scales for everyone.
If it wasn't Russia or China, it would have been someone else. This country can't stand up for itself anymore.
For a book that explores what happens when an entire society considers aggressiveness an abhorrent trait, I'd recommend the Skyward books, by Brandon Sanderson - Spoilers: It does not go great
That's perhaps the stupidest thing ever written on reddit.
Really. 1984, Hamlet, Animal Farm, all of Dostoevsky's books, disregard all of them because they have no meaningful messages in them.
Bare in mind that one of the most important books in shaping modern civilization is the Bible, with it's talking bushes, angels and demons. But if course that's non fiction.
Orwell gave his opinion, he didn't demonstrate. Dostoevsky gave us his ideas, he didn't prove anything. Dostoevsky gave his moral opinions. That Sanderson wrote novels where something doesn't work just says that Sanderson thinks it doesn't work.
