If this was the only way, then you shouldn’t have even tried

Huh… That’s news to me. When I was first looking into it, that OS was mentioned here and there. I ended up putting Graphene on my phone and left it at that, so I didn’t even bother keeping up with any of the other stuff.

That’s fair. I just had to get my pixel repaired and it’s been a headache because Google doesn’t make it easy.

Then buy second-hand. You aren’t giving Google any of your money, and you can focus on increasing your privacy.

Another way of deGoogling would be to, ironically, use a Pixel phone and side-load a privacy focused OS like Graphene or CalyxOS. With them, literally everything needs express permissions to be used, whether it’s your camera, location, microphone, etc. You can even sandbox the Play Store and other Google services so they can’t access your deeper files.

If only that car shared the same fate as Soleimani’s

Tell that to Israel, who is opening up a new hole with all their missile launches

I actually just looked it up. In certain states, this falls under the “Stand Your Ground” law.

Defense of Others: State law permits the use of force, including deadly force, to defend another person. Non-deadly force is justified when a person reasonably believes it is necessary to protect someone from imminent unlawful force. Deadly force is justified to prevent imminent death, great bodily harm, or a “forcible felony” to the other person. Examples of forcible felonies include murder, robbery, and aggravated assault.

Immunity from Prosecution: A key feature of the Stand Your Ground law is potential immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits if the use of force is found to be legally justified. A defendant can request a pretrial hearing to determine if their actions were justified, potentially leading to dismissal of the case. The prosecution must provide clear and convincing evidence that the force was not justified.

Important Considerations: The force used must be proportional to the threat. Stand Your Ground does not apply if the person was engaged in unlawful activity or provoked the attack. Immunity also generally does not apply when using force against a law enforcement officer performing their duties.

Meaning if you see a bunch of masked men trying to abduct someone and they aren’t identifying themselves as law enforcement, you can legally shoot them to defend the person being assaulted. You would also be immune from criminal prosecution for doing so.

You’d better be a great shot though. And you’d probably get killed. At minimum for sure you’re getting arrested (and probably disappeared). But you are legally in the clear. And the news would be ALL over it. I’d like the TACO administration compete against Republican-state laws.

Not only that, it makes zero sense.

If the rapture is real and God will ascend anyone true to the word, then by definition they would be sent straight to hell since they literally killed millions/billions of people.

I hope it never reaches Athens

Loss of biodiversity, climate change, more extreme weather events, ocean acidification, Gulfstream collapse, microplastics in literally everything, the rise of fascism, constant wars/oppression/genocides, everything being politicized and radicalized, capitalistic exploitation of consumers in every market, the mega-rich using their money to cause misery for profits, even more than I can think of right now.

Want more reasons why I don’t want to raise my children into the world we are heading towards?

One could argue that the Internet and how we are now so interconnected is the cause of a lot of these things, but I think the biggest reason for it all stems from a lack of compassion. Compassion for fellow humans, compassion for fellow living creatures, compassion for the planet at live on.

What do you call Israel tankies? 🤔

You know, I really don’t want to lump all Israelis together with their racist POS counterparts. But then I see this and I can’t help but think all Israelis are like this.

Amazing to think only a couple of generations ago, they were on the receiving end of hate like this.

Its like “winning” a boat or car. Great, you have this thing you couldn’t afford. Now pay the taxes on it, that you can’t afford.

But also, we all know Trump doesn’t pay taxes.

Play the Uno Reverse! Push into Russian territory and annex as much of it as possible whine their forces are weakened

Like their whiskey!

The point is ALWAYS to save money. That’s what got us here in the first place

As a Floridian, I apologize for giving the country Rubio (and DeSantis and Rick About). If I had it my way, these shit stains would’ve never amounted to anything. But alas, I’m but a single vote in a sea of red.

If it walks, talks, and violates human rights like a duck, I’m calling it a fucking duck.

ICE is the modern day Gestapo.

Not sure if that’s a negative thing in their eyes though.
