Nor is Patrick Rothfuss. I believe he probably outgrew the story he was telling.

WILL it be sentient? Or what do you suppose will be the development that causes us to go, "holy shit, it's real this time!"?

Looks like an extra vinegary wine.

It's inadvisable to think about people being after you, "how would I hide," etc...but if you give it a thought or two, you might realize it would already be very, very, very difficult to escape nearly omnipresent surveillance. You just need to put one or two headlines together...

"Google Tracking Your Phone Even Before You Open App/Potentially Even When Phone is Off"

"DOGE Has Gained Access to Americans' Private Data"

Etc... We let it sneak up on us and we're going to find it's seemingly all there at once.

Or a revolutionary war. Less likely, maybe, but I think that's what it's down to. Will it be civil or revolutionary in nature?

WASHINGTON, July 27 (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump told Christians on Friday that if they vote for him this November, "in four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you're not gonna have to vote."

For awhile, some people here were saying they were undeleting some stuff like that, but mine was banned before I had a chance to try.

This reminds me of a story told to me by the Ukrainian Master Accordionist Leonid Nosov twenty five years ago when he was my landlord.

What a badass fucking story intro.

Unfortunately the it already left when I signed up here a couple of years back.

Is that what the whole "egg" thing was about!? Raising egg prices!?

 

I've been thinking about this a lot recently. I'm sure a lot of you have. For my part, I've been finally writing down my political experience, what I saw, etc...in a way that I think might be able to move some people on the right. But I also agree with this post. People always talk/write, etc...and rarely actually take action.

So, with that in mind, can we talk about what that looks like? Very specifically?

I suppose I'm hoping we can go a step beyond "go protest," having unanimously agreed that we should all be out en masse to make it clear we're pissed about...well...kinda everything.

But this is a fairly radical bunch. So, what do you all know about this? What concrete advice/tips/plans/ideas can we dumbass individual Americans learn from historic examples, political movements, etc...? Indeed, one of those questions might be: is this even the place to talk about this? If not, where? Does that already exist somewhere in the aether out there? Communications is always an interesting to me (I've wondered whether something like LoRa could be useful to setup in my area).

If I want to start a group locally, are there things I should think about? Practical tips beyond "talk to everyone you know?" Books to read? Etc...? Even if you get a group, it's easy for it to mean nothing. How do you make it not mean nothing?

 

I can't access CNN, BBC, CBSNEWS, and others. Seems to persist across multiple devices and others in household also having issue.

Anyone else?

Just seems weird that I'm not seeing any news about it. Is it likely connected to the Microsoft Outlook issue? I just don't see how?

 

It seems like I constantly see "X secure messaging option is actually bullshit because it was purchased by Dr. Evil and Y is actually just e-mailing your messages directly to Xi Jinping."

Is there an authoritatively "best" one I can just...download and setup easily? Is Signal good? Or do I need to solder a Raspberry Pi to the flux modulator of my home Linux NAS GUI, etc...?
