  • As a neurodivergent person, let me just say that I have a great life. Why should you, or anyone else, get to make uninformed decisions about who gets to live based on inaccurate information?

    Also, just look at bananas to see where eugenics ends up. Crops devastatingly vulnerable to disease, and companies like Chiquita creating slaves of entire nations that manage them. It’s not hard to extend this wrt humans.

    But really, the main reason is how tightly linked eugenics programs through history have been linked to fascism.









  • Every cellphone pings the local towers. Even ones with no SIM card that are “powered off”.

    What the government has realized is that in most circumstances, that’s all the information they need: place and time. If they need more, then they force the person to use biometrics to unlock the device, and read all the contents.

    This works for 99.999% of situations. For the people who don’t use biometric unlock and use burner phones regularly, they have to resort to other methods.

    This means that for the most part, they don’t care at all about the encryption you use, or the apps you have installed.











  • That parking lot is my favourite entrance to marble meadows. Those people were endangering the vehicles and possibly the lives of everyone who had boated across the lake to the trailhead. There is never an appropriate time to use open flame in that parking lot, even in winter.

    However, it’s also a popular place for kids to go have some drinks around a fire, because it’s relatively remote.

    My guess is that the people who started the fire weren’t supposed to be there in the first place, and if they HAD got trapped, nobody would have been looking for them there.

    Hopefully this experience will change how some of those people approach the rest of their lives.
