I don't get DMs because no one recognizes me.

I literally walked into a bar with 14-15 men and women from my graduating class. I recognized and named each one. Not a single one of them recognized me.

I can blend in with a fed, doctor, magat, retail employee, door sales man.

For a long time the invisibility was painful.

But recently I realize, it can have a lot of power too.

It absolutely eclipses the Gestapo.

The Heritage Foundation quite literally took the Nazi Germany history and said "we can do it better."

With 32,000 members, the Gestapo and adjacent effects was able to kill 21m people.

The Foundation wants 258,000,000 dead.

That $170b is going to that.

And now I'm on a VPN because if they're just gonna cut people off for accusing of piracy they're gonna have to cut off everyone with a VPN.

TBH I should have been behind a VPN before

That's the limit of the Regime. They can make meaningless threats or go after vulnerable people. Fascists don't pick fights they can't win or at least face no consequences.

99% sure that's pretty normal for healthy minded people, men, women, trans, non-binary etc.

Making the first move is taking a risk: aka being vulnerable. It's when they don't respond enthusiastically and you don't stop that it's a problem.

That ONLY protects the president, and only from crimes he commits as official acts.

Now, we all know the mental gymnastics the GOP can do are impressive, but ignoring a court order is not an official act.

The deportation itself? That's the act that he's immune from.

$90?

Shit.

Metroid Prime 4 and The Duskbloods don't sound perfect after all

Me, freshmen year of college: "I'm going to major in computer engineering - with additional math and physics courses. Capable of designing all sorts of cool stuff, and get paid well"

Me 16 years later: "I don't know what the fuck I'm doing, I don't know what the fuck management wants, I don't know what the fuck I want to do, but at least I get paid well."

You mean an AI that literally generated text based on applying a mathematical function to input text doesn't do reasoning for me? (/s)

I'm pretty certain every programmer alive knew this was coming as soon as we saw people trying to use it years ago.

It's funny because I never get what I want out of AI. I've been thinking this whole time "am I just too dumb to ask the AI to do what I need?" Now I'm beginning to think "am I not dumb enough to find AI tools useful?"

No 2a, our stores are small and we don't tip.

Next you'll tell me that the government expects me to take time off from work to care for my health and family. And that having a personal car is expensive and unnecessary.

I don't know why the article didn't mention any of the law enforcement names tied to the group.

But the one that caught my attention was the Iron County Sheriff. His name is Ken Carpenter. Looking up statements he's made publicly, it's very believable this guy is tied to AP3. Interestingly his second-in-command resigned very recently over allegations that he was violently intimidating and retaliating against other officers.
