Well, normally I would agree with you but I don’t have neighbors close enough to see me with any sort of camera, and with biking in, flock cameras aren’t going to help anyone with anything.

Unless someone is hiding cameras on hiking and biking trails right around where I live, cameras aren’t going to help identify a generic black blob riding a generic black bicycle as anyone specific.

It’s funny you mention flock cameras though because I was talking to some friends yesterday and none of them had ever heard of flock, and when I pointed out the cameras, they seemed to finally realize they’re under constant surveillance, since over the last year they’ve been popping up all over the city.

I may or may not have “jokingly” suggested we start cutting them down and go full Office Space on them.

It’s crazy just how many cameras aren’t even actively hidden, they’re just in places you don’t normally look. Honestly shows like Person of Interest and movies like Enemy of the State back in the day made me realize just how much surveillance there is on the average citizen, and how little privacy we really have. And that’s fiction. I’m sure the reality is far worse.

Cell phones get left at home, masks and hats help protect identities, and we have radios strapped to our backpacks that have first aid supplies (as well as a few things for if things got spicy) in them.

If you’re going up against technologically up to date nazis, you don’t go using easily traceable things.

Hell, I even used a walking stick so the way I walk is different.

Biked to the meeting spot and locked everything up out of sight.

If anyone we didn’t tell knew we were there, I’d be slightly surprised.

I mean, I’m not French, but If nearly every single media outlet in France refused to sign their government loyalty pledge, I’d find it interesting.

See, the problem here is you’re lumping all of the US in one group, while conveniently ignoring that half of this group is against the use of firearms and is for gun control, and the people who have wet dreams about mowing down “the gays” are the biggest owners of said guns.

They convinced themselves that every other major government in the world, as well as every single scientist and most other people were lying to them about Covid.

I remember extended family members going on about how it’s a hoax as they were dying in the hospital from it

Some people will flip the universe inside out, upside down, and throw it in a blender to make their world view okay.

American chiming in: good. It’s only fair, if we want to charge you, you should be allowed to charge us.

If no other country will let us in (except maybe refugee status if it gets to that point I suppose), then MAYBE, just MAYBE, people will begin to make forceful demands of the government and actually change things instead of checks notes blaming “trans antifa blm terrorists” for everything and ultimately saying “there’s nothing we can do”.

Remember kids: the people outnumber the government, all we have to do is literally nothing and we could cripple it entirely.

Lmao ban weather because rainbows make you gay

The problem is that there pushing their culture onto everyone else.

This is so fucking priceless, it should be in a museum.

Please inform me which part of their culture they are “pushing” on everyone else, that way I can ask you why it’s okay for the straights to do it, but nobody else gets to.

LGBTQ people exist. That’s something you can never, ever change. So maybe get over it and stop saying that them existing in public is somehow negatively impacting anyone who isn’t just a scared little bigot.

Quickest way to stop massive Russian losses: TURN AROUND and march your happy asses to Moscow, and have a few words with the shit bags in power.

Fuck, even just every soldier going home would cripple any ability to punish them for being AWOL.

This is exactly the dumb shit take from y2k.

I Still hear people go on about how “it was supposed to be this big thing and then nothing happened! Smart people are so dumb!”

Yeah nothing happened because a lot of smart people worked very hard to fix the goddamn problem, you fucking shitwaffle.

Here? “You dum dums got so worked up thinking it would pass and then it didn’t, so the freak out was for nothing!” yeah it didn’t pass because a lot of Europeans got very upset about their governments trying to spy on them harder than ever.

I’m not European, so I can’t say how people talked about it openly on the metro with random strangers, but online? People were vocal and pissed. A PROPER government (lol can we have some of that functioning democracy please) listens to its people. This was them listening to the people.

The people’s reaction was appropriate, and necessary. And shouldn’t be lessened just because “lol you guys got so propaganda’d and it was obviously never gonna happen and I knew cause I’m so smart” is quite the take on things.

So which is it, a safety issue, or a “political ideology” issue?

And since when has a group of people existing been a “political ideology”?

Seems like a well-regulated militia would go a long way here.

It’s because some people are still playing by a rulebook that’s burning in the corner trash can. Some people are still concerned with “what’s proper”.

In other words, “because she’s living in a fantasy world where normally that would have been a bad look”

So Texas is trying to kick off a civil war by invading another state.

reads manual

You’re only confused because I’m dumb! For some reason I was thinking toner and laser were separate types.

I bought a toner printer in 2020 and I’m still on the first replacement cart. I have over 2000 pages printed.

Considering I spent $80, plus $40 on the new two pack of toner, I consider it money well spent.

I do wish I had bought a laser printer though… There are things I would like to begin printing that will be several thousand pages after it’s all finished. Mostly reference materials. DISREGRD THIS I DUM

Well, shit.

I think Putler figured out how to make Trump slam his foot down about Ukranian support.

Dementia Don has already praised this war criminal many times, he believes Putin is a poster child for being a strong man and great leader.

0. Massive amounts of politicians and car company execs gleefully hopping into bed with fossil fuel companies for longer than almost anyone currently living has been around.

edit: wow, Redditors are better at accepting the truth, lol

So go pander to them.

If I own something, I can do whatever I like with it because it’s mine.

If I can’t do what I like, it’s not truly mine.

Good. Don’t negotiate with terrorists.
