Ah, so I guess the people they've been murdering every day don't count?

Well, normally I would agree with you but I don't have neighbors close enough to see me with any sort of camera, and with biking in, flock cameras aren't going to help anyone with anything.

Unless someone is hiding cameras on hiking and biking trails right around where I live, cameras aren't going to help identify a generic black blob riding a generic black bicycle as anyone specific.

It's funny you mention flock cameras though because I was talking to some friends yesterday and none of them had ever heard of flock, and when I pointed out the cameras, they seemed to finally realize they're under constant surveillance, since over the last year they've been popping up all over the city.

I may or may not have "jokingly" suggested we start cutting them down and go full Office Space on them.

It's crazy just how many cameras aren't even actively hidden, they're just in places you don't normally look. Honestly shows like Person of Interest and movies like Enemy of the State back in the day made me realize just how much surveillance there is on the average citizen, and how little privacy we really have. And that's fiction. I'm sure the reality is far worse.

Cell phones get left at home, masks and hats help protect identities, and we have radios strapped to our backpacks that have first aid supplies (as well as a few things for if things got spicy) in them.

If you're going up against technologically up to date nazis, you don't go using easily traceable things.

Hell, I even used a walking stick so the way I walk is different.

Biked to the meeting spot and locked everything up out of sight.

If anyone we didn't tell knew we were there, I'd be slightly surprised.

Everything you said after "pretend they're Spartans" would be lost on them, because they only know what the movie 300 has taught them.

"what's a Thermo-pile? What's the navy gotta do with Spartans? Stop trying to bring slavery into everything, Spartans wasn't woke"

Two small towns in Ohio also had a surprising turnout considering they're both pretty damn red.

Break the cycle of abuse.

Be better than XT-22.

Leave a better ship for XT-24.

Also, 30 years and he didn't bother with a cover up?

I would love to have a small Wikipedia browser that can survive the apocalypse.

E-ink display, mini keyboard and touchpad, multiple ways/ports to transfer info, All wrapped up in a heavy duty equipment case that's able to survive a building collapses and burns in an earthquake, that's shielded from EMP.

It's in the pattern buffer, just tap a button or two, and instant ketchup! Way better than using the replicators.

You ask a bunch of questions about a task in order to convince the client that the task doesn't need to be done at all.

I ask a bunch of questions because I've forgotten half the answers already and am trying to make enough stick that I can make something close enough they don't notice my attention is wandering while they blather.

We are not the same.

First they came for the mice, but I did not speak up, for I was not a mouse.
