And avoid a career of being professionally angry.

But what if they all sat on each other’s shoulders to reach something really high up?

It’s best to keep some accounts on major sites, both to prevent people from taking your name and pretending to be you, and because having zero presence is suspicious. Just like, don’t use them for anything and don’t log in to them from devices you’re regularly using.

That and matching a grainy partial image of a face with the most similar face they could find.

These are all good reasons to keep one’s online presence fragmented and semi-anonymized, and not easily linked together by an automated system. Not for fear of being caught doing something illegal, but for fear of being caught in a profile dragnet and being made a suspect and patsy for crimes one hasn’t committed but could plausibly blamed for.

Blood pressure was too high, that sound was just the artery bursting.

Damn, giving Texas a run for their money.

“I CURSE YOU WITH BULLET WOUND!”

Fucking really? When they fired huge percentage of the kitchen staff and ruined service, when they switched the suppliers to cheaper and mostly pre prepared ingredients, when they cut potion sizes and jacked prices. That was fine, no problem… but, they changed the logo… slightly? DISASTOR!

Like, this really is what I find absurd. That people are so willing to let their discontent be redirected to symbology, rather than question systems making things materially worse.

As insignificant as a mid quality restaurant chain is, it just seems emblematic.

Lmao, damn, trump seems really scared of this guy.

All the conservatives seem really scared of this guy.

Wonder why republicans might be scared of Democratic candidates left of dead center. Almost like a real alternative not slobbering out neoliberal, Chicago school of economics, nonsense could sweep them in a lot of traditional safe seats.

Or at least be really hard to rally their base against if their base actually hears what the policies are.

So, according to the motion filed on the 1st of may, which is what I assume the tweet is referencing, I think there are two things of note.

1st: When cornered at the McDonald’s, the police questioned him about his name and requested his id, then proceeded to ask him a bunch of different questions regarding his identity, the validity of his id, wether he had lied about his name, and any travel to New York. They, at no point at the McDonald’s, ever read him his Miranda rights, even after informing him that he was under investigation and detaining him, even after one officer told the others to read him his rights.

2nd: They moved his backpack to another table before informing him he was under investigation. They did not have a warrant to search his backpack, and given that it was far beyond his reach, and he was handcuffed when they began searching it, there was no reason to suspect anything in it would have been dangerous to the officers on sight. They found a computer chip in the bag while he was still inside, and did not “find” the loaded gun until he was outside and being driven to the precinct. After “finding” the gun, the officer searching the bag stated that they were searching it to make sure there “wasn’t a bomb or anything in here”. The motion I’m referencing suggests that this statement was a hasty attempt to justify the warrantless search post facto.

Deranged logic, Israel is not a strategic keystone to the survival of America.

Like, even if one has drunk the Flavoraid enough to think that what Israel is doing is ok and that it’s not an apartheid state that needs the South Africa treatment; in what fucking reality is Israel not eminently replaceable in the role it plays in US foreign policy? if anything, it is a net negative, a dead weight dragging down US relations with the rest of the region.

It routinely takes unilateral action to throw gas on the metaphorical fires of the region. Like, allies have their own goals and ambitions that diverge sometimes, but you’d expect them to converge occasionally and not actively attempt kneecap each others diplomacy.
