Meanwhile in America, people don’t bat an eye at handing over RealID for the most minor purchases (not to mention SIM cards), which is then scanned into a government-connected database, backdoored tech and Amazon Ring.

A month so far. I mean, I’m pretty sure I probably said stuff that was ignorant of actual facts that showed up on other instances and could’ve been dv’d by, it argued over with them, it’s hard to say since my original instance went down and I generally try not to hold grudges, but as long as I’ve been consciously aware, I don’t recall any unpleasantness. But then I’m not going on their instances acting like I know everything just because I read it from a Western or US-centric source. All governments BS their citizens and we never really know to what extents, since *Assange, Snowden, Manning and a bunch of other whistle-blowers were heavily persecuted and prosecuted.

I have been corrected, with credible sources from Western-centric media and had my thinking challenged, but it wasn’t disrespectfully, as far as I was aware. They’re alright, I’ve had non -confrontational posts rm’d and been flamed for no good reason by mods and regulars on the biggest instance. Every other instance seems pretty decent, but that’s my own experience.

I haven’t.

Most people in the security industries that I’ve ever known are keenly interested in privacy, for good reason. There is a reason certain protesting elements *cover their faces and it’s not usually for nefarious reasons.

Buckle up, Bible Belt. It’s going to be wild.

Where will poor people go and how would they afford to go and how would they get there?

Mathew and Hugo were pretty horrific.

Little Shop of Horrors, original and remake. But I always assign social commentary, regardless if the writer meant any or not.

That was a great movie. I also really liked “Get Out.”

Surveillance society is a bad idea, period.

About the time some billionaire/politician/LEO/judge out other influential/affluent person is recorded in a compromising position.

What happens when QR codes are obsolete because some newer, smaller technology is in place?

Wait till you hear about the religious Jews trying to genetically engineer the prophesied calf.

Herzl played his part.
