Joke’s on you. You’re gonna have to live through the worst of what’s coming.

I mean… it’s not wrong. That IS 8 minutes slower.

Whatever language the Voynich manuscript is written in.

Got any openings for people with no common sense and a very tenuous grasp on reality as a whole?

Have you considered right-wing punditry?

Of course not. It’s cold outside. I brought her inside.

Biological Ice-9.

I mean… Look at the news any day of the week.

Americans on the whole are incapable of understanding history at even the most surface level.

4. Be chosen as the modern day avatar of an ancient deity seeking resurrection.

Harumph.

I personally like its adamant REFUSAL to be bullied into showing the actual state of devices. DMESG knows, because notifications show the correct state, but Blueman is over here IE6ing.

That’s fair… I didn’t mean to single you out. There were a LOT of posts, and I suppose the emphatic and sarcastic nature of yours drew my attention.

That said, I meant this as a general statement to all the commenters of this nature, and your comment is just where it happened to land. I don’t have any personal grudge.

Your point is well taken, but whataboutism aside, EVERYONE should be obeying ALL the traffic laws. I cycle on public roads myself and I do see other cyclists not stopping at red lights. A bicycle IS a vehicle - it doesn’t come with pedestrian rights.

Or we can just keep escalating finger pointing and law-breaking until the traffic laws are meaningless everyone is dead.

Nice, I hope Windows dies

Thanks for the new e-mail signature.

I mean, it’s better to be there with it than not be there at all, but in every way you’re better off not having it with you. Even off or in an EM bag, if they take it from you, they can look for ANY reason to hold you, and if they just SUSPECT you, the hole in your provider connection record is EXTREMELY suspicious. If you don’t have your phone and they don’t have photographic evidence of anything, then you were at home the whole day taking a nap. How will they prove otherwise? If you want to take photos or document what’s happening, a dumb camera is a smarter move.

Equally controversial fact:

I am not obliged by law or morality to follow what is written in your fucking book either way.

Use your phone if you HAPPEN to see something to record while incidentally out and about. If you’re SPECIFICALLY putting yourself out there to protest, document, or obstruct action, it’s insane to bring your actual phone - get a dumb digital camera. It comes with MUCH less liability, and from a purely practical point of view you don’t wind up trying to explain to your phone company why your phone being stomped into bits by a Nazi should be covered by the insurance. Not to mention you can pop the SD card and hide it if you need to. It’s just smarter.

I mean, it’s still a liability. If you get arrested, and they don’t have direct evidence of your doing something, your phone can’t incriminate you if they can’t get their hands on it.

“The revolution will not be tweeted.”

One more time…

LEAVE YOUR PHONE AT HOME.

IT IS A POCKET GOVERNMENT SPY

The real nightmare is you can’t even tell anymore.
