"Oh you don't like the idea of always on cameras monitoring every street at all times? Guess you want burglaries to happen all the time."
This study found that they actually increase the risk of being targeted by burglars
All the while you are sticking a camera with a history of shoddy cybersecurity to your home.
Look at this case of harassment that involved the use of a doorbell camera and try to pretend my concerns aren't valid.
Innovation is when you make every street a panopticon.
One time I was walking down a street and this woman rushed out of her house and starts yelling that she knows what I've done and she's got it all recorded on her doorbell camera. To this day, I still don't know what I was supposed to have done.
Doorbell cameras.
Let's turn the whole fucking planet into a surveillance state because some people like to jerk themselves off about (typically racialised) fears of petty urban crime.
Truly a prestigious title, noticer. Surely this must be the most skilled of the illusive noticers. The noticest if you will.
Fake news, that user isn't Diogenes of Sinope.
I don't understand the question.
a powerful force for freedom.
Freedom is when you prop up fascist regimes, funnel money into unionist paramilitaries, violently crack down on all protests, and use a network of spy cops to monitor every leftwing group bigger than, like, three people.
The more you do any of those, the freer your country (and by extension the world) is.
why can't the game stay NEUTRAL on refugees?
It's perfectly okay to not want to take in people that don't belong in your society, can cause unrest, drain resources, and change your population. It's perfectly reasonable to see them as invaders.
A large portion of South Wales is small towns and villages built on hills and mountains, so it's difficult to cycle from place to place for most people.
The Taff trail forms a convenient path from Pontypridd to Cardiff that doesn't require travelling over steep hills. Further into the South Wales valleys past Ponty, each valley has their own cycle trail that links to the Taff Trail. Commuting around the valleys and to Cardiff is only tough going if you follow the motorways instead of pre-existing cycling infrastructure.
The main problem is travelling between valleys since you're either going over hills or circling 'round to Ponty but this is also a problem with public transit infrastructure which uses Ponty as hub so if you're going say Merthyr to Maerdy you have to catch a bus or train to Ponty and then a bus to Maerdy.
The senedd is literally just lowering the speed limit in residential areas, it's not like they're lowering speed on motorways.
It's not going to slow anyone's commute, but it is going to lower the likelihood some child gets flattened going to school.
Saes have stank up the whole of England, it's gonna take centuries to remove the cringe from it. I don't think it's worth it.
What would you recommend as a good starting point with Fanon?
I've got very little knowledge about anti-colonial theory but I've been trying to educate myself.
