Just gave a ride to a guy who's 125% sloshed. I get to his huge house way out in the boonies, and it takes him a bit of effort to get out of my car. He gets out and then I look out my widow and see him do the drunk stumble-run in a circle before eating shit in his driveway.
Help him to his feet and get him to his door.
Know your limits, my dudes.
I was nearly in a head-on collision with a highly trained professional driver.
Police decided that going against traffic around a double-blind curve ( _/¯¯ ) would be a good idea.
But hey, they got places to be, it's not like the laws of momentum, or any other law, apply to police when they're in a hurry, yeah?
This "informational speaker" for a scholarship for disadvantaged people is recounting the tale of when he ran from the police on a motorcycle because he had expired tabs and an expired/suspended/revoked license, and the police crashed 3 cars chasing after him, and then when they pitted his bike and he stands up and surrendered, that they choked the shit out of him and dug his face into the dirt and then says "I deserved it"
His stupidity was only one part of the many failures.
Fuck cops.
Surveillance
My roommate bought a voice "assistant" pod and an internet connected microwave and doesn't understand why I'm so annoyed.
I don't want my fucking microwave listening to what I'm saying. My desktop doesn't even have a microphone connected to it unless I'm using it.
Then they said that if I'm just being paranoid that having the voice connected stuff would help, because I would see that no one was going to break down the door.
Fundamentally missing the issue of why I don't want them
I have a new agey-esque name for it already in my head and also the explanation for why we were willing to have a new agey-esque name for it.
It'll probably end up in a story before it ends up in real life, though.
I don't know enough people and humans terrify me.
"The Order Of The Flag's monks and nuns are here to speak with you. And they brought, uh, ceremonial...nailbats?"

A friend I met at an anarchist book fair has asked me to post this for the world to see. Spread it if you can, please.

Anarchist. Cat. Anarkat. White Cis Male. Don't worry, I'll die eventually. Polyamorous & pansexual. Sometimes I say dumb stuff. When that happens, tell me. I'll figure it out.
Location? Idunno. The walls are grey and plain, and it's difficult to get to. Could be a bunker. Or a suburb. Hard to tell.
I drive. A lot. Many attempts have been made on my life by whatever spirit is behind bad drivers, but I'm still around.
