IS IT AS STRONG AS YOUR URGE TO EAT MANGOES??

Hell, I love downvotes. It either means I'm wrong and need to check myself, or I made some people really mad. Win win.

And there's no way to go back to "the way it was before." There will be revolution. The only questions are when and what it's going to look like on the other side.

Quality over quantity.

I just bought a Reolink camera, as opposed to the cloud-only ones. It's quite nice, requires no account anywhere for it to work including person/pet/vehicle detection. Has FTP configuration so you can have the device upload footage to an FTP server of your choosing, or just leave it on the MicroSD card.

While I don't have a home assistant center, I'm sure this one has those capabilities.

They have been radicalized by Democrat Party rhetoric ...

lol no. I've been radicalized by the fascists who have taken over the entire federal and many state governments.

Their faces: "Ha ha! Serious threats to democracy are so funny!"

Yup, and the side that loses is the side that wasn't violent enough.

Violence works, otherwise there wouldn't be any. We've put up a whole system of laws and police and investigators and courts and prisons in order to provide an alternative to violence. And even then, that system is itself backed up with a real threat of violence as well as its occasional localized deployment.

Yesterday's "pep rally" where none of the military leaders dragged in had anything good to say about it suggests that there is not the overwhelming military support that Trump wants there to be. There are plenty of examples of far less powerful local forces successfully standing up to superpowers. Afghanistan is one. Wallachia is another.

When the entire federal government and many state governments have wholly abandoned the systems put together to avoid violence, and are in fact using the husks of those systems to apply violence to their opponents, we've already crossed the Rubicon.

I'll get my pikey.

"Close enough."

That last bit reveals something important.

Be yourself unless you’re too weird. There will be no elaboration on what “too weird” is.

So here we all are, every day wondering “Am I too weird?” and not daring to find out lest we be shunned.
