When you are about to have an economic crash groups like Occupy and the Tea Party are an inevitability, whatever the names or politcal leaning may be. When you are about to have an economic crash the powers that be prepare to suppress revolt and domestic spying is job one. Militarizing the police is job two.
During the Great Depression Fascism was where economically desperate people turned as they are doing in Greece today.
Note the date, 2008, not 2002. Approximately the time financial markets started crashing and the Occupy and Tea Party movements started building. Ya think the U.S. government was more worried about Islamic terrorists or ordinary Americans who would soon be fed up with massive corruption in D.C. and Wall Street. Were they trying to prevent another 9/11 or building the capacity to suppress the backlash when millions of ordinary people would soon be thrown out of their jobs and homes, while Wall Street would get massively bailed out, and return to business as usual, getting rich.
The U.S. did a spectacularly good job of crushing Occupy. Did they use domestic spying to do it.
War is when your government tells you who the enemy is, revolution is when you figure it out for yourself.
The Eastern half of Colorado is in the Great Plains so it is valid to call that part of the state the Midwest. Denver sits on the West edge of the Great Plains. Everything west of Denver is the Rocky Mountains.
I'm about two year in (two weeks shy) and my last check (last month) said 8-9 more years at the rate I'm using it. I was told at installation that five is the average. I think the only time I'm paced any more is when I sleep, just due to my natural sleeping rate being lower than the floor they've set. I'll have to ask.
Used the card about a week after I got it due to my place of employment at the time. Haven't used it at an airport.
Just another reminder to use strong passwords, password managers, and change them often. It's a pain, but it's the reality of the digital world.
What good is a password manager when the answers to your security questions are public knowledge?
Who says you need to tell the truth on those questions?
Q: "What is your mother's maiden name?"
A: "Purple monkey dishwasher."
Damnit, time to change the security question on the password manager for my luggage.
Umm driverless cars are definetly something that we should do. Humans frankly suck at driving and countless lives could be saved if human drivers were replaced with more reliable machines.
Actually, the number of fatalities isn't countless.
Just gonna leave this here.
ooo, look, I included links for my assertions instead of just pulling numbers out of my hat.
You must be new here.
A war is when your government tells you who the enemy is. A revolution is when you figure it out for yourself.
But will it run Crysis?
Orange is the best color.
It's the maintenance man. He knows I like orange.
Also, and on-topic, Deus Ex is a must-play game.
Came to instigate a reinstallation. Saw that I was beaten to it. Left satisfied.
Everytime someone mentions Deus Ex, someone reinstalls Deus Ex
