I played Deus Ex, taught me all I need to know about advanced AI agents and data centers.

And discord and Snapchat

I was going to suggest that maybe a person managed to simply have absolutely zero online presence, but then I realized that having zero online presence probably gets you on a watchlist itself.

Watch lists are so 1937. The whole point of building datacenters for that kind of thing is to not have the separation between people on watch lists and people not on watch lists.

So nobody should be ashamed by your measure. We live in a wonderful time when, instead of selecting few suspicious individuals to monitor, you can monitor everyone automatically and don't have that risk.

It's like lossless encoding, like FLAC, versus lossy encoding, like MP3. It's better to have the former if your resources allow it.

Watch lists have that downside of being a Russian roulette, what if your watch lists give you a wrong impression of the society outside the watch lists? You might think you have it under control, while you don't.

With everyone being monitored if you think you have it under control, you really do.

That just was a bit too expensive, but times they are a-changing.

That's really nice, isn't it?

Hear me out:

Fuck ICE!

Yay I made it on the list! I hope you’re proud of me.

We're not ready for what I think is coming. Call me paranoid- but the US still hasn't solved the Vice President issue.

Does the 12th invalidate the exact wording of the 22nd? Because it's entirely possible orange man will just do a Putin and have himself run as Vice President in 2028 with someone like Vance(Medvedev) as his puppet, who can then suddenly resign/die and Trump gets 3rd/4th/forever terms due to the 22nd only saying 'elected to the office' not "hold the office".

I'll just read about on tiktok I don't have all day

I've heard that it's way more than that.

What if we kissed on the government watch list?

We can hold hands in the detention center. Jk. Unless…

No no, school shooters are a "whatever", anti flock protesters are terrorists

See the difference?

This is what they are monitoring for, to try to match people up who might do vandalism on the cameras.

You gotta say “DEFINITELY NOBODY TIE BLACK GARBAGE BAGS OVER FLOCK CAMERA.”

an electric circular saw is more useful.

Breaking into a mass surveillance network set up by a foreign government so we too can spy on your citizens

cops will be monitoring thier EX -wives, husbands, bf/gfs, children,,,etc.

Yep, use pseudonyms and never ever talk to cops.

Always has been.
