Heil?

Now that looks familar… 🤔

Fitting that the Bene Gesserit “Witches” should adopt such an implement to test their own subjects, lol.

I’m curious how some automotive drivers’ developed expectations of license plates to be private. Is this some kind of sovereign citizen initiative?

From the article:

…" ‘Oh, that’s a license plate reader.’ I started seeing them all over the place and realized that they were for the police. And I didn’t like that.”

Of course they’re for the police. Why else do these drivers think License Plates exist?

The article does not mention concerns with unwarranted interstate tracking and state authority collaboration, which is a separate issue itself. DeFlock just seems to be about avoiding police surveillance of their cars entirely, which is senseless.

So did someone f**k a costco rotisserie chicken and this is how I’m learning about it?

Anyone have a mirror to the clip and/or article? It appears to be paywalled or something. (Account walled?)

I love how the clinical psychologist being interviewed explains how irrational fears of flying can be spurred by contemplating the extremely limited number of aircraft incidents… Immediately after the GlobalNews video plays a super cut of scenes from four unrelated high-profile aircraft malfunctions.

I watched it when it aired 13 years ago on Limmy’s show (y’know, This Guy and This Guy, lol.

OP’s peom/story belongs to the same cinematic universe as Deedee in the kitchen, so I couldn’t help but relate them.

Is this you?

Oh, by the way: If you’re a fan of the classic “Old.reddit.com” look, the Programming.Dev instance has an identical interface: https://old.programming.dev/?sort=Hot&listingType=All .

It’s federated with Lemmy.World so all the same posts will appear. I’m partial to that on Desktop browser, and stick with https://p.lemmy.world for mobile.

Welcome to Lemmy!

I found that a large number of communities have been named after popular, and less popular, subreddits. So I found them easy to find. There was an old r/Redditalternatives post that has a decent range of communities to start out, which I’ve copied below. It is similar to the default subreddits.:
