Basically, if you don't have a phone the cops can easily backdoor, you must be a criminal.

"What do you have to hide?" taken to it's logical conclusion.

It seems like the administration is trying to discourage travel across the border. Not just people on work visas, tourists and even citizens are reporting being detained. It's like East Germany or something.

The penultimate paragraph sums it up well

The government has failed to protect us; the government is actively oppressing us; the government has rendered itself the enemy. Not all forms of resistance are advisable, but at this point they are understandable. The regime wants to shatter the social contract? Very well. But that decision cuts both ways.

That shit was legend. I mean, we were still using BBSs and phone phreaking. Here's this ubernerd that BROKE INTO the television signal. We bow before you, kinky ubernerd.

It's gender affirming care

The oath is actually to the Constitution of the United States. So it's not even the country or the government but the idea, the founding document.

When I was 13 I helped the local burnout mow lawns. He was late 20's and hung out with us teenagers from the same block. Got us weed, bought us beer. The 16yo guys I looked up to were friends (?) with him, he'd hang in the backyard fort of the lead 16yo, and he basically ran the local lawn mowing cartel of all us kids. I wanted money and it was easy and fun, hangin' with the boys. We shoveled walks in the winter.

One snowstorm morning he wasn't at the fort where we'd meet so I volunteered to run across the street to his house. Knock. Knock loud. Try the door, he didn't mind if we came in his basement entrance to his parent's house. It's dark, light on in the bathroom. 13yo me saw his first dead body that day; full bathtub with slit wrists and neck.

E: oh, reason for suicide seemed to be that he had a DUI wreck a couple months prior where a young girl (like 7 or 8) didn't die but wouldn't ever be the same... like couldn't walk or brain damage or something. He couldn't handle what he did, I guess.

correlation is not causation.

repeat the experiment.

That's real? Holy fuck what sort of clownworld are we actually in?

Anon contributes to the downfall of GameStop, therefore sinking the memestock he really banked on for his retirement.

The article says "no need for steam deck 2". Valve is on record saying they wouldn't do an incremental upgrade, they want to wait until there's a major advance in the available technology.

"Yes, I'd like to return this camera because it's an invasive piece of shit"

GenX was basically told that "Teflon is inert, it can't hurt you."

Well fuck me.

Did you catch the part about this particular cop being the "top earner" for homeless camping tickets?

Small win for her, at least she balled up the fucking citation and threw it on the ground. What a prick.

Yeah, I read it yesterday I think. US citizen lives in Las Vegas and her German boyfriend comes to visit. They travel to Mexico and then were both detained on the way back in. She was released within days, he spent weeks even after volunteering to just go back to Germany. Fucking nuts.

And Zelensky just announced they have flown a 1000km range missile this week. Kremlin is big mad.

That's a poignant image. Dude's just gone, his existence has been erased from the USA. These fuckers are trying to say it's an economic thing but who's running that ice cream cart now? No one. No one is now paying the taxes that he used to. No one is now circulating currency in the local economy. That's gone now.

And this whole Iranian thing. HOLY SHIT. These people DON'T LIKE the Ayatollah. NONE OF THEM. That's why they are here. But noooooo, country of origin is more important than belief.
