Idr if this was a feature that made it into a real OS or just a concept that never came to be, but...
I recall reading about a duress pin that instead of deleting stuff, just booted up normally... but to basically a separate user profile. From the non-duress profile you could choose features that would be shared between the two, like texts or call history of specific people, browser history, photo albums, etc.
So "sure officer, it's 5224" would open up a phone profile that looks convincingly used, with nice long trails of cat memes and chatter with your gaming buddies about your favorite franchise enshittifying, and so on.
Punch in your real pin to unlock it though, and it's got full access to everything, including data you want to keep private.
...and, uh, if any of you are designing a mobile OS right now, here's your feature suggestion!
Stop 'questioning orders' and start acting on your oath to destroy all enemies of the US foreign and fucking domestic. Idly following the orders of a domestic enemy isn't a good look - engage that fucker the same way you do any other enemy of the US.
He's paraphrasing - their exact words were "we're going to die as part of an effort to distract the world from the fact that Trump raped children on Epstein's island."
He's doing this shit on purpose. He isn't just blundering his way through a terrible presidency, he's intentionally damaging the US in every way he possibly can. This is way beyond just confusion.
He is a domestic enemy of the US and our constitution.
Murican here. Assuming we don't get it is the best case explanation for our collective bullshit, and frankly we don't deserve that kind of benefit of the doubt. Ignorance detracts from intent. We all knew exactly what we voted for: the warnings sounded like an air raid siren. The nosedive we're stuck in is because the majority of our voters are evil. ...not that there's any shortage of stupid going around here, but innocent stupidity cannot explain the consistent storm of human rights violations coming from our country.
And before anyone starts spitting up Hanlon's Razor, that philosophy is a nice fantasy, but simply doesn't apply to the reality we're stuck in.
Anyway, we'll get what's coming to us, and we'll deserve it. Sucks that the rest of the world has to deal with our bullshit though - y'all deserve a better neighbor.
Oh fuck no. There are a handful of people from highschool I wouldn't mind catching up with, but the vast majority of them I either never met well enough to form an opinion, or actively disliked.
...and as long as it's been, every single one of us is a completely different person now. It'd basically be like meeting a few hundred complete strangers. And at that point, I can just go to a bar or something and meet complete strangers right here - why travel to reunion for that?
Add it to the pile.
You weren't expecting enforcement, were you?
