why is it always a programming.dev chud with these kinds of thoughts??
We have the best chuds!
Mandy. Likely as in Amanda. Meaning one of her besties. Not a flex, just a statement of what type of friend.
Hey now, women are allowed to have a harem too!
As hetero women we will often refer to friends who are girls as girlfriends. You could be right, but the 7 here is what I just described.
English is weird with that. Other languages have a separate word for friend and for partner
Not German. But it's usually differentiated by the use of possessive or no possessive.
Mein Freundin = Partner
Eine Freundin = Friend
English is usually the same though.
My girlfriend = Partner
One of my girlfriends / a girlfriend = Friend
English doesn't even have a word for person who you are engaged to be married to. Luckily French had two, so they shared.
??? Get out the house more?
Walking some home with their consent (or consent of their guardian) is not a crime.
Following someone home is stalking.
When it's related to groceries it's actually called a steak-out.
/s
Partially related: Grocery store apps "tailoring" the price of groceries to the individual? Oh fuck you motherfuckers, cash for me from now on.
"We're sorry, this location is no longer accepting cash."
in some states/cities that's illegal.

Paper is the new privacy measure
Always has been.
Protip: for anyone seeking to use typewriters to further circumvent surveillance, please know that the ribbon is a complete log of every keystroke. Also, the pressure your pen makes on paper can be recovered from soft-ish surfaces and sheets underneath it. Act accordingly.
Protip: Get an old laptop with Linux for privacy, and don't dare to use Google services from it.
pro-protip: use tails.
Pro-pro-protip: don't use this, because it does not have Miles "Tails" Prower as its mascot.
We have messaging apps that are secure and can timed autodelete by text “for everyone”.
And yet people keep on using Facebook Messenger.
I can't wait for glued on words from magazines to come back
Careful. If truly determined people are hunting, microscopic particles trapped in the glue could be traced back to you. The specific magazines might also be identified from the letters and traced back to you.
That's why I use magazines from the dentists office.
Your dentist? Bad move.
Or the DNA all over them, right guys?
And your printer puts microscopic marks that can be traced back to the specific one.
Are those big enough for mimeos to grab?

Time to bring back the proud American tradition of shooting Nazis.
I would prefer the bat method. They should feel it.
Glad you included a picture. Based on text, I thought you were suggesting we get Batman.
Did he ever join the war effort in the old comics like superman did?
He did more selling bonds than direct combat that I know of. But yeah, Batman got in on it. World's Greatest Comics #9 cover has him throwing baseballs at their faces for example

We need more community defense classes now more than ever. Seriously!
Little tip, put the duress pin as your birth date. Because that's the first thing that a law enforcement officer might try. Then the phone deletes itself and they can't claim that you did it because they were the ones to enter it, unprompted.
