True enough the idea is to be long gone by the time something goes down. I’m not saying I would scream in a crowed but just quietly walk up and tell father/husband. I mean if wasn’t being creepy why would he be wearing a hidden camera bon his face.

I think the plan at this point if you catch some asshole wearing smart glasses. You walk up to the biggest dude around and tell him that the guy is recording his kids or wife with his glasses being creepy.

While i get the desire not giving your love ones closure would be hell for them. Also being missing can make insurance harder to claim.

Most independents I know are very progressive but don’t pick a team. They defined their political views on an issue by issue basis. The problem with picking a team is picking that identity and letting the party dictate what you should think. Being a proper independent takes more work. You have to read into each candidate not just pick a letter.

Also you have tactical voting. I vote in every primary as a Republican to put the progressive in the best position then vote against them in the general if that makes sense for that race. Sometimes the progressive are not running in that district so in that case you vote the moderate Republican in the primary to do the least amount of harm to progressives.

I honesty wish more progressives would run in Republicans races incognito. so we can fuck up their numbers like Sinema or Fetterman.

This gives me flashbacks to when we were voluntold by our first Sargent to go to retirement ceremony for a NCO that no one liked.

Fucking disgusting

Me in 1998 watching ZDTV and playing quake and loving everything about computers and the internet.

Me in 2026 me straggling to even like computers and loathing the internet.

The moment I get inconvenienced and hear its about a strike. I never blame the workers and my annoyance is halved.

The interesting thing is the fediverse and the tildeverse are extensions of that older internet.

Oof I mean I’m glad they are back in stock again but that stings. I do see valve being the only company that would lower them as soon as they are able though. Public shareholders wouldn’t let them if they were public.

I have lived with it for 20 years. I listen to a lot of music or podcasts to help not focus on it. I got relief once for about 2 hours after my ears popped on an airplane. Everyone is different but rubbing the pressure point behind my ear doesn’t go away but turns down the volume for a bit.

Yep I don’t have allot of hope for us as a society but it makes me happy that web and voyager are still out there to show we were here even after we are gone.

I should have never gone to that bookstore.

Wait till you see the red heads being turned into black characters pattern.

If you pull the battery to prevent corrosion was that euthanasia of your Tamagotchi?

You make this world not worth saving.

Any 3 letter common file extension should be banned

Works great I write and read bluray discs all the time. I ripped my collection to my nas with no issues. Just have to get the keys setup.

The problem with that is AI is not AI at all. Its a text prediction and generation based on probabilities. That’s all it does it doesn’t think at all. AI is a marketing term to sucker investors. AI will happen but not with the current paradigm. Just throwing a bigger dataset just makes the illusion more convincing. Like parrot with a bigger vocabulary.

Such a clickbate title

That’s why face to face organizing is critical. Small groups distributed with common goal. None of that let’s change our profile pictures bullshit. Building real connections, is key. Internet activism is a lie. It is doing nothing but it makes you fill like you did something and social media companies use that to control the masses into apathy.

I’m not saying communication is not important but it will be on private point to point communication with in your local network. Also using stuff like Meshtactic or ham radios are great for emergency response. Be it natural disasters or human caused crises.
