Train whistle and the sound of the train rumbling by in the distance is deeply relaxing, doubly so if after nightfall or if I'm drifting off to sleep.

Alright! Dystopian nightmare timeline is a go!

I especially like the part where cops are reported to heavily abuse these databases for personal agendas or to share with criminals. Truly ACAB

This is a very good reason to maintain the appearance of neutrality while facing your local community

This might even be an argument for putting those smoked opaque covers on your license plates even if it's questionably legal. There's more than a few people out there with definitely not legal smoked covers to the point you literally can't read their plates unless you're tailgating them, and cops don't give a shit because nobody is ever pulled over for illegal mods. I'd wager that the cameras can't read them either if you can't at 10 yards

About god-damned time someone did something about that.

Not great that it had to be California legislating it for the rest of the country but we'd pass out if we held our breath on Congress doing anything useful

I would downvote this if I could.

This kind of shit is what's actively making the internet a worse experience.

No human wants to read generic drivel written by a machine, let alone being fooled into clicking on this asshole's website because they gamed the search engine to get their garbage ranked higher on the list

Oh that's why no videos would load.

I would assume hot earl gray tea came up in that conversation somewhere?

There's also this company that caters to this sort of thing. I've been considering moving to this someday, maybe when my current phone dies. I'm the kind of person that needs a genuinely dumbed down phone to limit access since I'd just get the key out of the drawer and 'cheat' eventually.

I always assumed the reason was to get more tendrils into your phone for that sweet sweet data $$$ and allowing themselves more control over shoving notifications in your face.

Do I sound bitter?

Nice try.

If I see XcQ, the link stays blue.

Man you have no idea how annoying it is to dredge up enough effort to post comments and shit. Take it from me, a former 100% lurker on reddit
