Oh for sure. I’m ready in case they pick me to go back in time and push human technology forward.

Yeah, they paid off so many NOAA employees, that they don’t even have enough people to send up the weather balloons. Can’t even properly predict the weather since we can’t collect the data, let alone analyze it and make predictions.

Maybe instead of “winning”, y’all could debate to understand. You might even get a better outcome that includes both perspectives.

Yeah, it’s right in the wheel well 👌

Them: Hey Sal! We got another liar that says he didn’t go through the 20 steps to disconnect the telemetry and thinks we’re gonna believe that some tire inflater just did him a solid without telling him…

Why not? He’s a pretty decorated war hero.

Welp, here’s another rabbit hole on the list. See yall later 👋😀

Could use it to mash potatoes

What? It said one salad bowl, so I got one salad bowl.

What’s so bad about this movie that people didn’t even bother to watch it to know how bad it was??

Smart observation! While it doesn’t give a precise location (~300 miles), that info can still be dangerous to certain people. A state agency with a history of going after activists and journalists (eg North Korea & Saudi Arabia) could use that info to know where to focus efforts if not at least somewhat confirm their target’s location found through other means. If anything, they could at the least find out what country their target is hiding in.

The How to Protect Yourself section doesn’t provide instructions on how to protect yourself. I guess there really isn’t a way to protect yourself if you use those services, correct? The best thing you could do is prohibit notifications and only open communication from people you trust. That seems quite limiting and keeps your vulnerability in the control of anyone that messages you anyway. The only effective way to protect yourself is to not use any communication services at all, which would then make activists and journalists ineffective.

I think they didn’t round up the insurrectionists because the executive branch was supportive of the insurrection. Once Congress and others put pressure on the executive branch, they started slowly working on getting them. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was a closed-doors negotiated deal. Trump goes free at the impeachment, but the insurrectionists have to be prosecuted and not pardoned.

If the executive branch wasn’t supportive of the insurrection, the whole thing would have lasted less than a minute and been a pile of dead bodies. There’s no way a ragtag group of populist dipshits would have been able to compromise the US Capitol otherwise.

Phew! Thanks for letting me know

Damn it. I just switched over from Google about a month ago. Worked on creating lots of aliases for my signs-in throughout the internet. I’m not leaving this easily, but now it’s something that I’m thinking about and will bounce if things get worse.

I know we’re informally calling Luigi Mangione the Adjuster, so that makes sense to me. But what “The Adjuster” are people picking Luigi for in this meme supposedly? Is there a video game where the main character is an Adjuster?

It is probably wise to assume that the next serious data breach at Google will end marriages, get politicians arrested, get famous people canceled, fuel successful scammers, and have every other privacy impact you can imagine. We know the Google data pool is massive, and we have reason to believe it is incredibly personal. I’m aware that Google has anonymozation solutions in play, and I do not believe those solutions will be effective in a breach scenario.

That would be an interesting experiment. Maybe cancel culture and public shaming will cease when everyone realizes no one is perfect and most people do shitty things from time to time.

It’s not an approval rating. It’s a rating of what percentage of users find the post and discussion worthy of attention.
