@eff I have a cat. He's my best-friend. And he's a tabby. And all tabbies look the same. I could pick him out from a flock of tabbies, but nobody else probably could. So how the hell is a camera, from a click away supposed to tell the difference? Logic says it can't. So ring must think there are a lot of stupid people in the world....oh wait...there are.

Donβt be fooled by Ringβs latest attempt to make mass surveillance and real-time identification the new norm in our neighborhoods. -
LGB without the T people are truly in the Leopards Eating Faces Party.@mattsheffield Yeah. That is just....and you know what? Trump himself has never been against GLBT people per se. He's always remained rather quiet on the topic. In part because Melania is known to be very entrenched in NYCs fashion scene which...well...is owned by the Chelsea queers. So me thinks someone like Stephen Miller or his Jesus phreaks have more to actually do with this than risking pissing off Melania does. I hate to say that, but...that seeems like a very poor business decision

@thedarktangent I think Iβd sleep with more peace of mind that random scripts downloaded from GitHub are not touching my contacts than worrying one of my contacts might be associated with Epstein.@thedarktangent I feel like this is moral grandstanding. The likelihood of you knowing anyone who is has huffed one of Epstein's farts, much less is actually connected to him is pretty nil. I just feel like this is trying to create connections where there is none. If you can afford to have an underaged girl for the night on an elite private island, chances are you're not on LinkedIn. Ashley Madison maybe, but not Linked in.

They just heavily gassed.@TheGreatLlama @alissaazar do what thou whilst

They just heavily gassed.@TheGreatLlama @alissaazar doctors are not pepper growers now are they? Do you want to be temporarily blinded at a protest by listening to doctor or do you want keep fighting and listen to a pepper grower who is telling you to put the damned milk in your eyes? There ya go. Aint gonna argue with stupidity.
-
They just heavily gassed.@TheGreatLlama @alissaazar kinda. You shouldn't just put milk in your eyes for no damned reason because of bacteria, but at a protest where we're talking substances with several million SHU of capsaicin it's better than nothing. I have to wear gloves to handle my reapers, and I've gotten it in my eyes, and the milk does help alleviate that.

They just heavily gassed.@alissaazar that's a gas canister gun. It won't kill you, but the irritant is capsaicin based. I grow extreme chilly peppers. And we're talking reapers. The secret is to drink milk, and keep a carton handy to wash out the eyes. Lactose breaks down capsaicin from pepper spray and gas canisters. You can't wear face coverings at protests UNLESS it for medical reasons, and an N95 mask minimizes capsaicin inhalation. Also don't touch your genitals. It hurts like a motherfucker. Ask me how I know.

Oh, isn't Brexit just wonderful five years on?@TOrynski I don't think Brexit or non-EU membership has much to do with that, honestly. Norway and Iceland aren't EU members, and have thriving economies. It's _how_ you manage those economies. The old stereotype of this pompous UK banker in a top-hat, which is featured in a NUMBER of American films, is very much becoming a real thing again. Because there is no leash. Capitalism is a fantastic thing...when it has leash. Norway has a leash. Iceland has a leash. The US and the UK don't....
