That's good to know, not having looked into it myself. Sorry about your stressful pocket square though, hopefully at least restoring it came with a nice wee break from the stress firehose. Maybe I should get a Graphene phone with duress PIN after all...
That's cool! It's the kind of project I'd love to do, but I know it wouldn't actually get used. Aside from how kids his age haven't really been exposed to much broadcast TV, so many shows these days are serialised as a consequence of the whole streaming phenomenon!
I lament the death of the episodic format often, because it intrinsically respects your time more. Serialised shows all have the confidence to say "hang on, it gets really good in about an hour and a half", which is bullshit. Serialised shows know that they need to command your attention within a couple minutes, and the scripts are so much more tight and compelling as a result.
I would absolutely run my own pirate TV channel, like the pirate radio DJs of old. I just don't have the IT or legal wherewithal to put my hand on that chopping block. But I could definitely bring the content and arrangement to an outfit doing something like that.
I remember when this was little more than a meme on Imgur. Cool that they made it!
Low effort satire just makes people worry lmao
I only download stuff from there that I'm highly motivated to read because I feel bad for wasting the bandwidth otherwise
He looks like a strung out American doing ironic post-punk
Edit: oh shit my profile pic ruined the joke, it's a Viagra Boys reference
At least the yeast has been neutralised
Relatable
A lot of far right nutters co-opt '1776' and revolutionary motifs on that basis
Can I be an atheist in this foxhole with you? I feel that tension too, between the world I wish to create and the fact that there's seemingly an insurmountable friction between where we are and where that would be. It can feel like it would be too violent a change to achieve in one lifetime. I keep coming back to the idea that war is ultimately a failure of imagination. We failed to envision a path forward where everyone can live. That's war.
And there's tension between my personal pacifism and my imagination with regards to societal change. Maybe like socialism, pacifism has to be an ideal rather than a standard, a Zeno's paradox in ideological terms. Perfection being the enemy of good, maybe some people need killing.
Pacifism is the goal, just as much as anarchism and socialism. We live in an imperfect world, though. For my part, knowing you struggle and lament, I can't help but forgive your imperfections. We love a Luigi, but we have to remember that he too is a symptom - not a hero.
The first one is an actual event where you might actually end up liking the people you work with. The second one is just a meeting with nice food and no agenda.
I've never implemented a duress password. Ideally the wipe would look like an unrelated glitch and not all "SELF DESTRUCT INITIATED BY DURESS PASSWORD, ACAB MODE ENGAGED". A duress password should look like it's about to work, and then the phone says "oops, battery error. Plug me in while I run some diagnostics, tee hee". Otherwise it's shit.
