I mean… Look at the news any day of the week.

Americans on the whole are incapable of understanding history at even the most surface level.

4. Be chosen as the modern day avatar of an ancient deity seeking resurrection.

I personally like its adamant REFUSAL to be bullied into showing the actual state of devices. DMESG knows, because notifications show the correct state, but Blueman is over here IE6ing.

No kidding.

Guess just ASKING someone’s age is good enough when you’re the government. No need to hold yourself to the standards you insist others need to meet.

Well considering it’s their PUBLIC BUSINESS PLAN, I don’t think you’re gonna have a hard time proving it.

Good. Maybe we can stop using a transient digital bathroom wall as a primary system of information distribution.

Only when you’re talking to a cop.

I mean, it’s better to be there with it than not be there at all, but in every way you’re better off not having it with you. Even off or in an EM bag, if they take it from you, they can look for ANY reason to hold you, and if they just SUSPECT you, the hole in your provider connection record is EXTREMELY suspicious. If you don’t have your phone and they don’t have photographic evidence of anything, then you were at home the whole day taking a nap. How will they prove otherwise? If you want to take photos or document what’s happening, a dumb camera is a smarter move.

Equally controversial fact:

I am not obliged by law or morality to follow what is written in your fucking book either way.

Use your phone if you HAPPEN to see something to record while incidentally out and about. If you’re SPECIFICALLY putting yourself out there to protest, document, or obstruct action, it’s insane to bring your actual phone - get a dumb digital camera. It comes with MUCH less liability, and from a purely practical point of view you don’t wind up trying to explain to your phone company why your phone being stomped into bits by a Nazi should be covered by the insurance. Not to mention you can pop the SD card and hide it if you need to. It’s just smarter.

I mean, it’s still a liability. If you get arrested, and they don’t have direct evidence of your doing something, your phone can’t incriminate you if they can’t get their hands on it.

“The revolution will not be tweeted.”

One more time…

LEAVE YOUR PHONE AT HOME.

IT IS A POCKET GOVERNMENT SPY

The real nightmare is you can’t even tell anymore.

It should be when you decide to abbreviate your currency “PHP”.

Remember the quote:

“If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.”

Well, “If MAGAs become convinced their leaders are pedophiles, they won’t abandon their leaders, they’ll abandon being anti-pedophilia.”

No, and it’s by design.

You’re gonna lease a tablet and use cloud-based storage services and like it.

The dystopia is here.

The problem with that is Intel is subject to the same bullshit economic assessments as AMD and Nvidia… They’ll just as soon retool for ai as well.
