The “what if i missed someone better” was a legitmate reason someone gave me for why they kept the using the app while starting to see me. Yea what a great way to launch a relationship.

I defintely get the social reliance and funny looks when you don’t want to use technology. I get the same looks for refusing to use dating apps. I have nothing against people who use them but the cycle isn’t something I’m interested in. I get discouraged chatting for a bit then getting ghosted. I get discouraged seeing dates get match notifications while i am on a date with them. And really fhe biggest thing for me, i vastly prefer meeting and getting to know people in person. Their accent, their body language, their sarcasm and humor, its best to experience that in person.

Plus the app doesn’t keep make money by finding you a good partner and in our capitalist hellscape I’d bet most of them factor that into tbeir algorithm. You match with good enough matches and frequently enough you think the app works but maybe the app guesses the match is just off enough that you’ll both be back in a few weeks more desperate than before and ready to buy superswipes or whatever.

For some of us it may be a difficult decision to not comply. Many of us need technology to continue our careers and make enough money to exist at our current standards. I need a phone with an active service connection and often need maps and to download user manuals on the fly for my job, and thats about as little reliance on phones and internet as jobs get these days.

Just one more donation to our military industrial complex and we will have peace in region forever bro

We be glad be beat the cop case and still condemn his trump support. Everything doesn’t have to be black and white. We can be happy he’s trolling cops without supporting his political views.

And any resistance to those policies is met with more rage from the right, its a self propelling cycle.

Theres also the factor of suing steam is like getting to sue all the ofenders at once without actually putting in the work to sue each individual studio that used the music.

I think part of why the cameras don’t have such scrutiny is the city often has signs stating they use the cameras and will list their locations. This gives a somewhat implied consent from the driver, idk if it holds up in court but its similar to a sign at a store saying you’re on CCTV. The sign doesn’t say the CCTV could be used to track and monitor you but its implied.

The system required to make them hard wired would be immensely over complicated to allow the wheels to still turn. Where ever the wire exits would also have been additional point for leaks to occur.

However, the researchers found that these tire sensors also send a unique ID number in clear, unencrypted wireless signals, meaning that anyone nearby with a simple radio receiver can capture the signal, and recognize the same car again later

Its not quite the same ball game. Sure its not great that the government can track easily with ALPRs, but this type of tracking is available to nearly anyone and could be used for significant crimes like stalking or human trafficking. It can also be done without a sightline of the car, unlike a camera system.

Crash and shot down are 2 very different things. Thanks for digging up the real story.

Only in the off season

It was an illegally imported bed

Careful what you wish for. I worry JD is just as evil if not worse but also more cognitive.

Forgive me if this is ignorant, but what does getting sterilized protect you from in this situation?

I’m Canadian and we lost to both US teams. Nobody in my nation is mocking either of the US teams. Honestly the women’s goal tending was nuts. I’d like to see trump last 5 minutes on the ice with one of those ladies dancing the puck around him.

Between this and trump’s recent voting comments, women in the US should be very concerned.

So that hospital boat will turn around to serve americans in american coastal cities right? Right???

Constantly play music/fart noises/whatever from an external source while you drive to minimize the audio data collected.

Its easier to use forced labor to harvest coal vs natural gas

They expect you to give them all your data
