This is what resistance looks like, unfortunately.

Productive action for which side?

And then the dandelions come back anyway.

So you’re saying the USA should focus on converting that soft power to hard power?

Okay, but a lot of the people who have and use guns are on the side of the authoritarians.

Always start with Madagascar. Keep your symptoms low and your water infection high to start.

So is the US going to send a strike team to kidnap the guy and put him into office here?

It’s starting with AI. It’s neck-deep in the shit already.

They’re consoling themselves with the fact that she wasn’t straight.

When did I say anything about whether it matters or not? Belief doesn’t imply importance. It matters, because the people I care about could be hurt or worse. I just don’t have a belief that it’s inclined towards one path or another.

If not surrendering, you’re toast, community or not. They’ll kill you for resisting before your community can mobilize. So you end up in a different list in the back of a history textbook.

Of those two, I lean toward classical nihilist; I believe nothing but what I’ve experienced in my own self. Pessimists believe that everything gets worse; My hope is that it changes for the growth of our society.

Surrender and recognize you might get a listing in the back of a history book someday, if they don’t win. PS: They will likely win.

Locate the antenna based on signal strength, then trace the power and transmission lines.

I don’t think it’s really an error. I think that’s just a handy cover for the real message. You are being watched, you don’t get privacy, and if any police or other group wants to follow you, then you will be followed.

RIP. Regardless of his political views, he was a man and he created things. My condolences to his family.

I mean, if your fists have foot-long swords in them and you’re a known menace, yeah, bringing greater force makes sense to me. I’m not judging this as a real-world situation. I’m judging this as an average human NYPD officer dealing with government assassin, killer, and general cause of mayhem Wolverine.

Yeah, it’s always best to examine a sample in all the ways you can. Especially radioactivity.

It’s different from the CD version of 25th Anniversary or Judgment Rites, but it is roughly similar.

If you look it up, you might want to get both the SNES & Sega 32X versions - they’re very similar, but the SNES version is notable for doing smooth polygonal 3D without SuperFX support. Mind you, the frame rate is interesting, but the controls are all built around it.

The problem is that at the point the FCC isn’t enforcing things by fine, if you do set up a broadcast antenna, the stations (or as you aptly said, the conglomerates) can sue you for blocking their signal, because they have a contract that says they “own” those bands. And they’ll sue you for loss of income, because if they sell less stuff by way of ads, they get less ads in the future, and then it’s all downhill.

The big challenge is, most people now watch TV either through walled-garden streaming platforms (when was the last time you watched an IPTV or IceCast stream?), cable, or satellite.

Radio might have a hope if you can get it out there, but most of that has been captured by Spotify. It’s an ongoing point of contention between my fiancee and me, because I like listening to terrestrial radio and believe that shortwave and HAM are the voices of the people, plus I listen to shoutcast / icecast “stations” regularly, and she pays for Spotify. I can’t think of the last time she used the radio built into the infotainment deck in her car instead of beaming her phone to it.

What about Star Trek: Starfleet Academy: Starship Bridge Simulator?
