Bit of a personal bone to pick, people like this make me feel cringe whenever I say I'm a pepper or have a firearm. Movies don't reflect reality, the world doesn't stop in a day, and if a single car collides with that behemoth, he'll probably wind up in deep debt.

Not that there's not merit to the mainstream right having more firearms than the mainstream 'left', but I think you might be discounting how many people left of the center are firearm owners in America. If you're speaking from a perspective of civil unrest leading to political violence, I dont feel any group will have a hard time obtaining firearms, rather they'd be bottlenecked by the amount of supporters they can find to wield such firearms. A lot of people are talk, yet when you give someone a gun and say they might die for a cause, it vastly lowers how many truly want to enact violence.

Not saying we should limit those essentials, but you do mention a phenomena that we should be aware of, and that's that any damage to economics at any level tends to have a ripple effect, whereby normal people wind up feeling the pain in some form. Could be as mundane as layoffs from "cost cutting," in response to the need for more security, or loss of assets, or anything really.

Y'know, its a weird quirk I've noticed, how little I see actual IDF soldiers on video or photo, despite hearing of them all the time. Like full transparency, this is probably the first time I've ever seen one without combat gear on, or at home, or anywhere that isn't just some candid photo in a former battlefield. Even then, I've only seen a handful.

Okay, editing right after posting, it honestly seems this way for pretty much all of Israel. The only actual visual I've seen much of in the news are photos of Netanyahu and the one video where Israel gets hit with an Iranian missile. Even looking up info on Israel seems to prompt a distinct lack of visual insight of anything about the country, much less the people within.

Honestly the most surprising thing to me was that this sorta action doesnt happen more often. Like, this is easy for people to do when angry, and definitely sends a message to someone. Now, it'll be the insurance company that foots the bill at the end of the day, so the specific company owning it won't quite receive the full message of it, but y'know.

Also constructive criticism. Maaayybeee risking the lives of possible hundreds to thousands isn't quite the best idea? Like I know some people would argue it was funny some rich guy's eating his shit, but if you do wanna 'send a message', this guy put his workers outta a job, risked their wellbeing, and that fire coulda spread. Compare that to Luigi Magione, who's only collateral damage was my health insurance costs going down for a few months.

Hypothetically, what if you had a pumpkin? Okay okay okayokayokay, but now, what if it was a cumpkin?

Nerds when they finally meet up

Windows is active spyware, it's well documented that services like their Telemetry function as active keyloggers. The main difference is that the vulnerabilities are likely only problematic if someone is actively looking for you.

As for Linux, it has many different types of OS called Distributions/Distros. You'd likely want to start off on a distro that's beginner friendly, like PopOS. Others work too, this is just my personal preferred flavor of 'just works' distribution. A lot of people will overcomplicate the process of selecting what type of Linux-based OS to choose with loads of technical terms, but you dont need most of that if that's not what you seek to make of it.

My serious answer for running games, as much as I'd like to answer it here, it would likely need a fair sized explanation if you're completely unfamiliar with Linux, just so you can know what to expect. It's more than I feel I can reasonably explain, so I'll recommend you lookup YouTube videos of how to run specific game emulators on Linux, since the video format will likely help a lot.

Pep talk:

An angle grinder can work if you use a cutoff wheel, but knowing the camera's technology, the likelyhood of a vibration sensor pinging back home is too high for my recommendations. Plan to be out within a minute or two, as you wouldn't want a cop responding to it. If it is chopped, dont bring it with you, make sure there is a very nearby method of breaking the camera's innards. Angle grinders do not work as well on plastic as metal in many cases, as plastic will melt from the heat and bind to the disk. A possible solution could be a sledgehammer, if you feel confident in your ability to wield it.

Other approaches can work well too, but it depends on how much damage you want. Some speak about laser pointers, but I advise against that. You'd need an 840-960nm laser of sufficient power, and that can blind innocent people within proximity. What I've seen mention of is a spraypaint can on a stick, but that only damages easily replaceable and cheap covers, so it's only a temporary fix that'd heighten police interest. Nonetheless though, its a low-risk way of telling them to Flock Off.

If you want to stay hidden during night hours, lining things with 840nm IR LEDs will obscure the vision (+920nm works too, but 840nm is the most common). This won't work on daylight hours though, as that uses visual light more than IR.

Also, phone stays at home. Geofencing, Bluetooth signatures, WiFi pings, and SIM tracking, etc. are way too prevalent to risk. And as always, stay safe when using an angle grinder, those fuckers can hospitalize. Park far away, if a car is used, and consider using a "Flock Off" ESP32 device to detect for nearby flock cameras, github page here: https://github.com/colonelpanichacks/flock-you... And I think the last thing worth mentioning is to have gloves and face coverings. Aaaaaand I've yet another new thing, avoid speaking, and consider obscuring your walk pattern if you do appear in it.

To find nearby cameras, this website works well for me: https://maps.deflock.org/

I feel slightly out of touch here, what's up with this Trump Mystery Meat?

Storytime! Mostly because holy shit this is weighing on my mind like mad, and I need to vent. Living in USA.

Someone in my life allegedly did something bad last weekend. I found out by getting a phone call from the local jailhouse on their behalf yesterday morning. I'm their contact, found their legal help, and been drug along part of the process. Holy FUCK is it absolutely insane the shit you have to do. The predatory-ass system has you completely fucked if you're poor. A fucking five thousand dollar payment for bail, that they allow only the panicked voice of the detainee to inform you about, so you likely jump right in and take action and pay that bail before the arraignment trial where the prices can be reduced, or he can even be up and set free. Dont have the money? That's okay! You can pay 10% if you put some substantially valued aspect of your life up for collateral. The referenced suggestions? A house and a car. Now if they fuck up before their trial, you lose basically everything. And lord, don't even get me started on the sentence times. Threatening the lad with twenty years for some alleged not-severe crimes, the boy hasn't even lived for that long, so he panics and talks before we can get legal council to him. Anyone with a single look from the outside can tell he's not getting anything near that, but they wave it over his head like it's a looking threat he's gotta serve.

If any of you go through this process, I swear, it becomes apparent as day that this whole thing is built to incentivize you to remain in jail. To stay as cheap prison labor or whatever it may be. This whole process is fucked. I haven't even seen the legal fees yet.

I have pondered this a little, as to why this seems to be the route the administration is taking. The best explanation I've had is that Trump is taking a card from China's playbook.

Several years back, China weakened their currency with the goal of creating an environment that's more embracing to external companies wanting to setup manufacturing plants in their borders. With how this administration is speaking about boosting manufacturing, I can see these two narratives being in conjunction with one another. The problem I see here, though, is that those jobs were spurred on by lower wages as a result of that weaker currency, which I don't quite see as a goal the US should be striving towards.

Yes, given enough time, it'll pay itself back off, but this still seems like a subpar avenue, especially as one of those American workers that'll feel the impact. Whether that's truly the result or goal is anyone's guess, best I can do is speculate.

Okay real talk here, how tf is this Xavier guy basically everywhere? Did he go to meme school?

Likely that the sub is called 'Buy European'.

Making a bold prediction here: in 30-40 years' time, one of those will be replaced with something to the effect of "Waste less time on the internet"

I've noticed this with videogames, and tbh I'm kinda surprised more people haven't connected it to there yet. Videogames can be a hobby, but if it's all someone does at home for mental stimulation, I don't forecast it's living to the fullest. When going through a new experience, it can be memorable, yet the grind-heavy nature of most modern games doesn't produce much for memorable moments, and often is forgotten in a month's time save for the knowledge of how much time was spent on that.

Social media is rather similar, in that it mirrors the addictive nature of locking your attention and supplying unmemorable mental stimulation, at the cost of substantial time.

In my completely nonbiased and objective opinion that's factual in every way: This is not healthy. I dont feel anyone will look back and say, "I wish I spent more time getting upvotes," or "I wish I got that cool skin in the game I dont play anymore."

The title of this post seems to communicate that goal, even if it's not the intent. It is worth noting that the article itself seems to read more as if Samsung is going through bad management decisions amid market turmoil. The current market demand on Samsung has some sectors performing with insane profits, yet others completely underperforming. This current topic is the offproduct of the statements of the lesion between the union reps and the company, to which this individual has already been replaced. They were pushing for a distribution of earnings based on how their respective sector performed.

Also not to be outdone, wronged workers are doing what wronged workers do best. A strike is planned for the near future, and Samsung is currently responding by cutting production quotas in advance. It is not a company wide strike, rather it is a strike of just the specific division of Samsung that's getting lesser earnings. The union seems to see that amid the AI craze, their underperforming sector is at risk of being diminished, even if only temporarily.

I can add more, but I dont wanna interpret for others and I think I've done that enough already. Its not a long or bad read, y'all can see for yourself.

I know its a joke, but man I just bailed hay yesterday and I'm really feeling it. My nephew had his first time bailing, fella looks like a bit of a twig, and I could tell he was struggling with it. As is usual, I had to pickup the slack, just as my family did when I was new to bailing as a kid. Bet he can't wait until the next field is ready next week.

I have often wondered how effective it'd be to just use a spraypaint canister on a pole.

Also, dont bring a phone with, at all. Or anyone else. Or any Bluetooth devices. Bad opsec can lead to bad outcomes.

It is rough that many types of peanut butter contain the sugar content they do. Really deceptive with how significant it builds up to being once put into perspective. I encourage y'all to try plain peanut butter, just nuts and salt. Gonna be a slightly different experience, but the peanut intensity is just so much greater, and man its much healthier.

Speaking from experience, as I am actively eating it now.
