Chipotle is to Mexican food what Olive Garden is to Italian cuisine.

“Mexican food”…
- Comment on Can't believe it's been renamed for a year now! 1 week ago:
Not really. It’s just that only a lunatic fringe in the US calls it the Gulf of America. They can also call the country the Uber Stupendous Amazingistan, if nobody else ro-ro with that, it’s as good as nonexistent.
Point being, while there is no legitimate authority, usage is what makes it official.

It hasn’t.

I have a security camera at my house. Not for security, but to watch the nature at the back from inside the house.
I specifically did NOT install a SD card in it nor an NVR, so if it’s ever removed as evidence for any kind of reason, it will have no story to tell. And of course, it’s on our LAN and firewalled off the internet.

haha you can’t use them, because you don’t pay, but the government gets a free universal pass.
Well, same for ICE: the fuzz is generally supposed to work for the good of the community, but ICE is working against it, yet you pay for it in your taxes.
The camera too works against you, but through Amazon, not directly.
Shit working against you is a theme these days…

I don’t have a doorbell camera, but I have to go past at least 2 of them every time I leave my home
A spray-paint can goes a long way. Just make sure to approach the damn camera from a blind angle.
The thing with a spray-paint can is, it takes you 2 seconds and a fraction of a penny to disable the camera, while it takes the man beaucoup bucks and a lot of time to fix it.

Today’s world is so weird: online “services” are forced unto you even if you stop paying for them, and visiting kidnappers caught on camera look like ICE officers…

Said another way: the French discover that late-stage capitalism and cronyism knows no border.
How quaint…
- Comment on What if the Epstein files are the distraction? 4 weeks ago:
You think too unilaterally.
Everything is a distraction for everything else. The entire Project 2025 strategy, summed up perfectly by that tramp-looking lardass Steve Bannon, is to “flood the zone” - that is, coming up with such a volume of such outrageous shit constantly, relentlessly, that nobody has time to follow up on anything.
When the media latches on Epstein too much, suddenly it’s war on Venezuela. When Venezuela raises too many question, oops: now it’s murders in Minneapolis.
Etc etc.
Ad nauseam. - Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:

I’m paying for my open source preference and the support / community instead of the most modern fancy features. I want both, but I’d still choose the former
I try to apply the same logic whenever I can too.
For instance, my laptop is a MNT Reform: it’s a very good laptop, but it’s literally 6 times the price of a comparatively-specced laptop from a big-box store.
And my cellphone is a Fairphone 5 running Ubuntu Touch. I chose the Fairphone for the repairability and increased openness, but it’s also 2 to 3 times the price of a more common brand cellphone with similar performances. And Ubuntu Touch itself comes with its own set of restrictions, but that’s the price of trying to be as free from the Android ecosystem as possible.
So yeah, you can do open, but the choice is very limited and you pay a lot for the privilege.

I have a Prusa XL, and the reason is, Prusa is (still) mostly open-source. And quite frankly it’s the only reason why I stick with Prusa, because technically they’re behind the curve.

That Washington state, not DC.
Surveillance capitalism and the fascists always find a way to debase everything good that people like.

How would Denmark know about the deal? They don’t have access to Trump’s demented mind, which is the only place it lives.

1600 parties per cow
Oh yeah, those cows are party animals 🙂
- Comment on Fake moo 5 weeks ago:
One time I asked a cow if he wanted to be slaughtered
Was it a transgender cow?
- Comment on Fake moo 5 weeks ago:
It’s one of those social media post to get people who don’t think for more than 10 milliseconds riled up.
- Comment on Fake moo 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, I was about to say: if the Village People is the sound of US fascism, McDonalds’s is its flavor.
- Comment on Fake moo 5 weeks ago:
1600 patties per cow is a value I’ve heard since I was a kid in the 70s. It wasn’t McD specifically. Maybe the cows have grown fatter or the patties smaller over the decades.
Anyway, my point was, hundred of millions of burgers doesn’t deplete the country of cattle heads. It was an remark about orders of magnitude.
- Comment on YSK: When you sit in your car and have a speakerphone conversation, there’s no privacy 5 weeks ago:
the antennae inside it radiate, sending signals to your carrier. Maybe don’t do this while living under fascism. Everyone in the corporations or government can hear your very intimate or business-related conversation.
No they don’t. Not by snooping on your cellphone’s radio signals anyway: the transmission to your carrier is encrypted.
The bad guys can intercept your convo in a MITM attack by simulating a tower and getting your phone to connect to it. But they don’t even have to do that: all it takes is subpoenaing your carrier and they’ll hand you over to them like a pig on a spit.
- Comment on Fake moo 5 weeks ago:
It would be insightful if the math checked out.
You can get roughly 1600 beef patties out of one cow. Your 6.5M burgers a day use up 125,937 cows per month and there’s 95M cattle in the US.
- Comment on YSK: When you sit in your car and have a speakerphone conversation, there’s no privacy 5 weeks ago:
Because you think your car’s vibrations is the biggest privacy problem when you make a phone call?

- Comment on Its so transparently disgusting how ICE is occupying northern states where illegal immigration is hardly an issue. The aberration of slavery has never gone away in the USA. 1 month ago:
“Aberration” of slavery?
Slavery is foundational to the United States. And it’s been going on for so long it’s not a statistical outsider either.
