Note the scratches where the text is. Imagine the thoughtlessness, the absolute brain smoothosity of the clod who did that on an impulse they were too stupid to even remember.

I was walking behind someone like this once. They stopped for two seconds, and used their lighter to try setting a poster on fire, but, unsuccessful, kept walking.

They live among us. If you call that living.

    The French are famous for protesting

    Machines taking over jobs, maybe it was too expensive, maybe kids fukcing around.

    Could have been smooth-brained, but someone wasted some time there.

    That the same kind of damage i see on my local metro when machines stop working and dont' get fixed for a week.

    There's a part of me that kind of wishes my town had surveillance akin to China's that is effective in preventing this kind of petty crime. I'm jealous of how clean Chinese cities are comparatively.

    There's also a part of me that is well aware I sometimes just run red lights on my scooter at 5AM when there are no cars around, or sometimes forget a doggie bag when I'm out walking the pups, and then I'm well aware it would be used against me too and no system is perfect.

    Same fucking problem. Our neighborhood has a string of thefts, (from porch pirates to stolen cars) I'd love to have something centralized and accessible to the whole community to police, but that's what flock is doing and I hate that. And even if we rolled our own, some of those asshole in the neighborhood would be bitching about kids riding bikes on empty sidewalks.

    just take us back to pre-technology when we came out of our houses with baseball bats to discourage vandals.

    No, Flock is very different, as there is no meaningful oversight or regulatory apparatus. (Unless you count lawsuits, which I don't.) That's certainly not the case with China.

    Though the baseball bat analogy is attractive.
