the faraday cage will help you save data on your phone bills too :smuggo:

realistically though, you can do stuff like get a discreet un-networked GPS for navigation, use a little notepad/calendar to keep track of your poo poo etc and realize you don't actually need to have a phone/internet/dumbshit machine on you 24/7 and reap the mental health benefits as well as privacy from commercial interests

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

what do you think will provoke more interest from a surveillance state, a person who's a clearly intentional black hole of data, or a person who's got a handful of mostly ignored social media accounts and who seems to behave like any other mindless drone

like i say, if you have poo poo to do, like attacking radar's secret base, you live two lives, and one of them is psychotically technophobic and openly babbles about a butlerian jihad; you need a data profile that screams "i'm just meat ignore me i am meat please don't put me on the domestic phoenix kill list" normie poo poo like liking kink tweets on your main twitter account but that part isn't real except the cum

I'm pretty much just talking about business interests. I'm sure using Desktop Debian Linux already puts me on several (extremely stupid, overreaching) lists. not taking a smartphone with you everywhere does wonders for concentration and general calmness imo

There was a great bird sighting in Austin. Multiple witnesses and multiple videos. The videos are very good.

The best part of the segment is when they interview a drone expert who claims it's a drone before immediately cutting to a video showing the bird zooming off at a stupid rate of speed.

Yeah this, it's equivalent to getting spooked by some obviously fake creepy paste 10 years ago. The number of leaps in magical thinking you have to go through to conclude that AI will design evil space ships from this dumbass image is at least 50.

I dreamt i was with/among spiritual exiles; one of them was a devil that ran a pizza parlor/gambling house and also handled an episcopal church via correspondence like he ran the church 100% no jokes no bullshit and like prayers would come in on card sheets and there was an employee despondently tossing prayers that the demon couldnt or wouldn't dignify with an answer so it was like outsourced work

It made a lot of money for him though

Here's some interesting poo poo I captured over the weekend.

A little while back I posted about the effects of psilocybin while viewing an enormous desert lightning storm - noting that for whatever reason, it appeared as though being high was allowing me to notice these shimmering orbs that popped into existence for a split second after some of the lightning strikes, almost as if they were 'playing the lightning back' to us. My sober partner couldn't see them.

We wound up back in the desert again this weekend, and as luck would have it, in the middle of another massive lightning storm. This time while sober, and with my night vision handy, we caught 4 (!) lightning sprites in the span of about 15 minutes.

https://i.imgur.com/zJ5YEsf.mp4

Shot through an iPhone attached to a PVS14 in high FPS slow-mo mode (because in actuality the sprites materialize for ~ a millisecond), this sprite in particular looks exactly like what I was seeing while high in the desert. Orbs!!!

https://i.imgur.com/SDPpkCb.mp4

The most well-formed 'tendril-y' sprite we captured:



I'm not even bummed that my orbs are probably a rare natural luminous phenomena because they're so loving cool! That also brings up an interesting line of questions about psilocybin and the default network mode - why was I able to partially perceive sprites while high? More research required, clearly.

Sean Cahill does give weird vibes, not sure what to think about him. Other than I don't really think he knows too much about the truth, but is less grifter and more true believer/hippy type. Dude was a ship cop and never trust a cop.
