  • I’m white, if there is a middle class I’m in it, a man, and attractive (if I do say so myself, I wish this wasn’t relevant but it definitely is a part of the profiling) so my risk level is about as low as it could be in regards to being targeted by these fuckwits. But I do think if ICE is patrolling my fucking airport that I will tell work I’m not able to travel.

    Sure, my one instance of business impact won’t do anything. But hopefully other folks like me will do the same thing. Enough to cause some amount of notice. And hey, if it doesn’t, at least I have a good fucking reason to not travel for work, I hate it.












  • How would this even work? What is a “computer” in the definition of this law? Gun nuts like to say that if you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns. But if you outlaw computers… everyone will be an outlaw. your fucking microwave is a computer. In Corey’s book he restates many times that basically every computer we have is a Turing complete von Neumann machine, or rather all computers can run all software and the only limitations are those imposed by the software licenses…and time, really. I just don’t see how you could feasible restrict the use of all the computers already on the market. My PS2’s can run Linux and send emails… radio transmissions are easy to set up with point to point contact and encrypted messaging. It’s just an insanely stupid thing to attempt. I feel the same about the age verification at the OS layer thing. Maybe you can get Apple, Microsoft, and Google to put it in their OSes, but anyone with a Linux device or a VM will be able to avoid it very easily. It’s silly.
