Some adult Disney fans say they hated The Lion Guard… but I liked it. And Bunga is fine.

You need to prove it though. There is a kind of medical test you can take to prove that. I forgot the name of it.

People wonder why I am a stickler for privacy and have been for a very long time. Shit like this is why. While my opsec is probably far from ideal, I at least try to maintain some level of it.

But shit like this is EXACTLY why privacy is such a critical thing that it is the bedrock of all other rights. Free speech is useless if you are under constant surveillance, especially by people with bad intentions. Unwarranted searches and seizures? Forget it, without privacy and companies wanting 24/7 live information on all sounds, images, and movements in your home? Yeah that shit is pointless. A single heated arguement, muttering something in your sleep, or anything, anything at all, is going to fuck you over.

I am going to give one example of what I mean. I knew a guy a long time ago who once told me that he stopped drinking alcohol for months. Yet when I visited the guy, the guy had beer in fridge and also had a habit of drinking a beer or even two at a bar before driving… at night. He wasn’t drunk and was within the acceptable BAC for driving, but just him making one statement online to me and me seeing another when visiting made me think: What if a random ass company had access to that information? Someone trying to pass themselves off as a teetotaller but actually drinking? Would they sell that information to insurance companies and his premiums would go up? What if the guy did say he drinks a little, but actually drank a lot more than that? And might fit the definition of a high functioning alcoholic? In some places being a diagnosed alcoholic can incur a lot of penalties. Like in Canada if a gun owner was also someone who HAD to have a few beers every day, but otherwise was OK, the addiction might be grounds for their firearms license to be revoked.

Going on that, what if any cop could randomly pull that information on drinking. Let us suppose someone likes to drink, but never drives after drinking, instead when they get home they crank open a few cold ones right away. There are new laws (or have been on the books for a while, I am not sure) that police can knock on your door up to 3 hours after you’ve been driving and give you a test to see if you have any alcohol in your system. So our guy who maybe downed 3 or 4 beers within the two hours of arriving home, that guy is going to show a decent BAC and the cop could charge him with DUI or a citation. An asshole cop could do this to fill a quota or just be an asshole to someone, and if they could get a hold of that information due to a company having full surveillence from multiple companies (credit card purchases, CCTV tracking, car telemetry tracking, etc, etc) all combined and made available to any ‘authority’ then live will be unbearable.

I could go on forever. But shit like this isn’t some DUI or marketing. This is a matter of life and fucking death for many people. Transpeople (and gays soon enough) will be in very real danger from this if they aren’t already. Remember that the average cop and ICE agent is dumb as rocks, but they system they work under isn’t. He is basically a caveman with access to tanks and drone strikes.

I’m honestly fucking sick of that shit. Wasn’t the kid in that pic his grandchild or something? You can affectionately kiss your young relatives and not be a pedo for fucks sake!

Can they try to bribe me? I mean they can pay me in advance and I will pinky promise I will go watch it… or maybe they can bribe me with cash, like around 100$, but also a half bottle of whisky or rum to make it tolerable. I’ll just mix the stuff in the large sodas they will provide (and I will need take frequent bathroom breaks to take a few nice long pisses).

A man of culture I see!

I wouldn’t be surprised if many people who did go see it were blackmailed in some way.

Live TV? OK a bit old fashioned, but we livestream it, too.

We could make a game show of it, too. Called ‘Cause of Death’. How it works is you do a hanging via strangulation and not neck breaking and you have someone who is a poor marksman volunteer to fire a few rounds at the palantir exec. Then they wait until vital signs go flat for a few minutes.

Then we take bets on the cause of death. Was it the gun shots? Or the hanging? A live autopsy shows the results.

Palantir needs to be outlawed, their data destroyed, and all the executives tried for treason, crimes against humanity, conspiracy to commit crimes against humanity and hanged.

Will it include fava beans and a nice Chianti?

Dick has far better things to do with his time than follow Trump, like try to win a race or catch that pigeon.

Being under 18 and in compromising situations make consent impossible.

Also one thing. I remember seeing a video with Edward Snowden who said that the first thing he does when he gets a new phone is open it and remove the microphone, and if he needs to make a call he has an attachment to it that has the needed microphone.

I have soldering tools and stuff. I am willing to take a risk in busting up a 40$ DAP if it means physically removing the microphone from it and eliminating any chance of it being used.

What is SCIF?

With a wired earbud set i think I can keep my Bluetooth turned off. That does usually mean it is off and hackers/corporations can’t get to it, right?

I have an ancient but functional Galaxy Ace 2. It a 2012 vintage. Would that be able to track me or would I be safe? It is a 3G max and is not 4g or LTE capable.

I agree. This is why the bullet did not pass through his neck because there was no bullet.

Fentanyl is like gluten, in that gluten will make your dick fly off like a bottle rocket and fentanyl will make your neck explode.

We need to see a fan movie where Bill and Ted actually ARE doing those things.

I wish I had Agent 47’s throwing skills. In the game you can disable cameras by throwing stuff at them. It is extremely satisfying to do it.

Beat me to it.
