Whoa, look at mister fancy pants here with his pot of boiling water.

You should really up your game and buy some ESPs and servo motors to jiggle the toilet handles when the toilets are running.

How can you claim that people/societies change with time while also claiming that history is all about fairytales? How can you possibly determine what people or society used to be like if you also think that any records from that time are useless and made up? Utter nonsense.

Time changes but people don’t. Weird that you bring up fairytales about kings and dragons despite that having absolutely nothing to do with history.

This is absurd. You don’t think there’s anything important that we can learn from our past and apply toward our future?

Looks like they paid a designer who got halfway through designing the car (the bottom half) and then fired them in favor of some project manager’s nephew who’s “good with computers.”

That absolutely can be a component of controlled opposition.

I don’t understand the desire on the left to pretend there are no clout chasers that take up left causes just for clout

Nobody is doing that though. What they are doing is questioning whether this is common enough to even bother reporting on. The media loves to blow things out of proportion in order to create a viral story, which is exactly why people are bringing up Occupy Wall Street. Back then the media would find the kookiest person they could to stick in front of a camera so that person would be seen by the public as a clownish representative for the movement even though they weren’t.

Or to get it into the zeitgeist that “all these people complaining about Flock are just lying and doing it for clicks.”

I think that was precisely their target market with this and I’m sure Florida and Arizona are full of them. They really are hideous though, much more in person.

Not every search is comparable to one another. Searching a car for immigrants near the border fence is one thing while searching an American citizen’s personal phone containing all kinds of private informatoon at an airport in the middle of Georgia is another. This is all based off allegations of CSAM, but I would imagine the federal government would actually have to make a case for why they suspected CSAM in the first place to make the seizure legitimate. In reality, they probably wanted this guys messages and phone calls related to his activism so that they can target those people too, which is going to be hard to make a case for in court depending on the judge.

Its the same in the US. They can’t deny entry to US citizens.

Oh yeah, I started on there myself back in 1892 when the server was powered by steam engines.

“I’ve been on the fediverse for decades”

Account is 11 days old and the fediverse hasn’t even existed for a fraction of that time.

The company has also argued that reflected sunlight could provide temporary lighting without diesel generators or permanent ground infrastructure.

Sure it just requires that you build a giant precision mirror array, launch it into orbit, and then constantly monitor and position it from the ground, but god damn if you won’t need a bulky, polluting flashlight ever again.

What an absolute fucking joke of a proposal. Yeah, let’s blanket the earth in mirrors so that we can light up some random construction site temporarily.

Also a tool to give plausible deniability when shit hits the fan.

It’s not the same combination used multiple times it’s a similar combination from different states. Can you describe what the actual issue is here if you’re not a Flock camera? How often have you personally confused plates from two different vehicles?

In this case it was Flock cameras not reading the entire plate and omitting two numbers from it. If you’re really that concerned about plates getting mixed up, you should also be demanding that no two plates share similar numbers even when omitting some of the numbers from the sequence.

I just saw a video from a local news channel about a different patch of land in Georgia where Georgia Power was given an easement across a bunch of people’s land, essentially cutting these people’s property in half, then they clear cut the forest at the back of their properties and installed some giant transmission line towers also to power datacenters. One young couple interviewed had just bought their property and were planning on using the land to grow food but now they can’t and they also can’t sell because only half their property is usable despite them having paid for the entire plot.
