Every so often, you might hear a gunshot pierce the air somewhere in Jamrock. But in Martinaise? No gunshots, no sirens. The people are languishing in boredom and complacency. This place is a sepulcher. We'll paint it red. We bring the raucous -- you bring the sirens.

People joke, but monkey wrenching is a useful tactic. Bad data is often worse than no data.

Or, hear me out, OR RSVP using the name of someone you know who's a Trump supporter so when the gestapo gets the list, they'll round up their own people.

maybe this will help some realize that you don’t need access to cover the government effectively. in fact, it’s actually better.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

Like, I wouldn't be at all shocked if you had some Polish woman whose son is a cop, a guy who escaped Egypt in the bad days, a white programmer with bail money, and an in-house lawyer all walk out already on a first name basis because they're at each others BBQs.

Albany Park is an interesting place to throw down and a classic example of ICE's intel not being up to snuff. It's a diverse neighborhood that has a solid balance of upper middle class white families who WANT to be in a diverse neighborhood, old White Ethnics, and immigrants with support systems.

This won't stop until Harry Potter adults--and it is the adults--stop supporting this nonsense.

They made HP their entire personality and they'll need to find a new one. Hard, yes, but not impossible. There are plenty of fandoms that don't fund a known bigot.

a bullshit statement from Keira knightley saying she was not aware of a boycott against jk Rowling before taking a job on the new audio series and that she's "sorry" and "we're all going to have to figure out how to live together and we've all got very different opinions"
She can fuck off.

A couple of months back I remembered in a thread that McDonald's tried, and threw out, AI within 2 months. AI caused enough problems to the work flow of "I want a cheeseburger and a coke" that it was deemed unusuable.

AI is a scam.

Also it's wild to see so many companies built on "externalize costs to user" decide they're going to be the test cases for "developing AI" at the cost of millions/billions of dollars to themselves?!?!

It's the only available move. They can't let the priests in because they can't risk what they'll say or to whom when they leave. Imagine Cardinal Cupich on camera describing conditions in the facility. Imagine that running on Spanish-language news in Chicago.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.
