There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.
More importantly, nothing was done. A decade or more ago, associating and supporting such things was done, but quietly. Now (or last year) it’s openly okay for a Congressperson to say it out loud. That, and saying fascism is fine. We’re past the point of warning signs, the house is on fire.
That is an issue, one that is being discussed and can be turned off currently. Meanwhile Microsoft is head deep in AI so much they’re renaming known trademarks into their AI brand. So… I don’t think Mozilla is the bigger problem.
I think most people using them know that there’s not something there, and yet when using it they’ll still act as there is. Even giving it that benefit of doubt in what it outputs as valid, as if it’s from another person, maybe even one who knows more than they do. So it’s a gray area of “not believing”.
Exactly. I haven’t done a movie outing in a long time, but the after-movie discussions with one or more people is always the best part, while it’s fresh in your minds. You can do the same online, and it’s great too, but it doesn’t have the same “rush”.
As a sidenote to things flying off, if you’re in an area that’s had snow, ice, or even just freezing temps, stay far back from any semis pulling a trailer. Guarantee that they don’t get up there to remove what’s there, and large chunks of ice can not only do damage to a following car, it could be lethal. It is absolutely the responsibility and even maybe the legality of the truck driver, but that doesn’t help the dead.
