Apps give way too much access to phone data, whether the developer collects it or not. As you said, Apple has access and has capitulated to the Trump fascist regime already. The app leaves enough fingerprint for them to use. A Web app is just a safer and more available option.

Yeah, I have never had any desire to date a woman I had to pay for everything to impress. I am happy to pay if I know their financial situation is sketchy, but I would offer that. I don’t do sugar daddy shit. I prefer women with better motives in dating. Of course I was a broke musician a lot of of my younger dating life and only in the last 7 years started focusing on a regular career so I have surplus money. I was not able to sugar daddy for anyone back then if I wanted to. lol

Society needs to give billionaires the same treatment. They should feel safe nowhere.

A general strike is the way. It kills capitalism quickly and once the rich turn on Trump, it’s over. He can’t justify using the military against that action like protests or riots. He’s impotent to do anything about it. If he tried to force people to work or some other insanity, the whole world would boycott the US. Just a couple days of a general strike would scare the living hell out of the owner class and Trump has no power without them behind him.

I’ve been dating most of my life and never once had a woman ask to bring a friend and I am a very large man. Also, I feel like 1st dates are implied dutch unless someone offers to pay. I’ve never discussed who will pay before a date in my life. I don’t know how he would even think he’d be paying for the friend too. It wouldn’t even cross my mind as something a woman would assume a date was expected to do. If a woman expected that at check time, I would be pretty surprised. Maybe I’m just old, but this whole interaction feels weird.

This shouldn’t be on the app store. It gives the US government too much access to pull data from it, or order it pulled down. This should be a web app hosted outside the US that can be accessed by any device and can be obscured by VPN access so the regime can’t persecute participants. Apps pull way too much data from phones that ICE can subpoena.

Fuck Israel. Fuck the whole evil country. Religion is fucking stupid anyway, so a theocratic country is extra stupid.

But you don’t have to “respect their beliefs.” We should not respect beliefs more than any other opinion or ideology. Religions and beliefs should have to defend their point of view as much as any other political or social constructs. The “that’s just my belief” statement should not be allowed to shut down debate. That mindset enables their hypocrisy and delusion.

If your company takes care of you and treats you with respect, most people will think of this sort of stuff and reasonably accommodate. Most businesses with this mindset of don’t take PTO are just running skeleton crews to boost profits at the expense of work life balance. They are typically the ones always guilting people about taking the very sparse amount of PTO offered in the US. I am union and my company treats us well, so I always think about my team without being asked. I didn’t when I worked for shitty big chains who took advantage of workers when I was younger.

It’s capitalist propaganda pushed across our media and culture. The whole bootstraps myth is tied up in all of American culture. It’s always been bull shit propagated by the owner class.

Any company that can’t function without a team member to this degree is under staffed and poorly ran. You can’t hinge operations on any one talent. This Priv person has real work / life issues or is just a greedy boss.

I like mine. They are really easy to set up for people not well equipped to set up more standard IP cameras. They also have a great feature set and no subscriptions required. Home storage is safer in today’s anti-privacy climate.

The right has always been hypocrites. Now they are so blatant they can’t even coherently argue their points. It’s just corruption. Pure and simple. The constitution and precedent only ever mattered when it was advantageous to them / their bribers.

Jewish space lasers are coming for you Marjie.

Loops and other fediverse platforms are more important than ever. We need independent social media - not billionaire owned platforms.

You know they wrote the order so broadly that Trump can wield it at anyone that hurts his feelings at the moment.

This for sure. Once they consolidated everything, they raised the ticket fees and the venue fees for artists. They charge more and most artists makes less. Live Nation is a textbook example of a monopoly fucking over the consumer.

They don’t wonder. They revel in the fact that city folks hate ice. They’re just whiny little removedes with persecution complexes. They’re only joy is thinking they got back at their perceived enemies.

Kirk was the excuse they pounced on - the escalation was coming regardless.

Political Crisis created by billionaires.
