honestly, though, don't forget how dangerous/irritating you can be to an authoritarian, paranoid surveillance state by merely being a waste of their time.

If they're nazis, then clearly the morally correct thing to do if you can't punch them is to annoy them in some manner.

yeah, you know, I'm all for inclusion and making everyone feel seen, but I feel like you have to draw the line somewhere before things start getting ridiculous and we have an initialism that's like, 10+ characters long. I was cool with extending it to a point, but it is genuinely getting to the point of absurdity if you were to try speaking it aloud.

edit: idea: we gotta find an acronym. And I don't just mean one acronym, I mean a good, well-branded acronym like NASA, but one that also changes for every time we as a species decide another character is warranted. We gotta make an acronym with expansion in mind

So... We need to start calling Trump supporters slurs?

Jokes on you, I've been calling them retarded for years.

you'll have to forgive me for being short on sources off the top of my head (and I don't care enough to go looking for them again) but I can remember a few different instances of this happening in recent memory. One being a fitness tracking app showing soldiers doing laps around the perimeter of a secret military base, another being either Russians or Ukrainians (probably Russians) being morons with their smartphones and getting an airstrike called on them for it. I recall, also, that (I think) ISIS once posted a video of a training camp and within a couple days 4chan had identified the location of it based on the geographical features shown and got it bombed.

I don't care enough to go find the sources, this is just what I remember reading about, someone who gives more of a fuck will have to verify for me; but in short: yes. Perhaps not exactly "stream sniping" in the sense of actively livestreaming your position as an attack comes in, but certainly, modern technology has made it easier than ever for your OPSEC to be absolute utter dogshit.

fuck me and that sub was made in 2017

yeah nevermind it's exactly the same type of shitposting.

I dunno, I mean, I never saw such an obsession with beans on reddit.

Whether that's a better, different kind of shitposting or exactly the same kind of shitposting is up to you.

more than that, all the other PC handhelds that've come out so far just sort of... miss the mark, in some way. Either hamstrung by windows, or being too big and heavy, or having terrible battery life by comparison, or because of the lack of touchpads. Whatever your personal gripe with the other offerings, the Deck stuck the landing and mastered the balancing act of "powerful enough, with a long enough runtime, but not too big or heavy". It not only created a new market segment, but it is the standard for that segment that every competitor must be measured against, and so far all of them have one or two missteps.

collapsed inline media

the fact I made this months ago and people like you are still proving it relevant is hilarious, though I suppose the second panel should be "third party/not at all/for trump" in this context

I think for everyone who can not, for one reason or another, go out in the streets and shout "what the fuck are we doing?", the next best, most morally correct thing to do is to piss fascists off and waste their time.

I'm apparently best enjoyed in small doses; nobody else really seems to enjoy my company long-term, so why would I be any different?
