Notices by Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲 (cainmark@mstdn.social)

Hey, American institutions. This is how it's done. "Scrub Nothing"!

Stop obeying in advance. Do not comply.

Hey, military, those aren't lawful orders. They're coming from traitors. Refuse to comply. Make backups. Of everything. You work for the constitution, the bill of rights, the people--not grifters who work for Russia.

Are there any other options besides Signal? Preferably libre software. Nothing against Signal, it just shouldn't be what *seems* to be the *only* best option.

So to defend against the deplorable American Nationalist Socialist people who've hijacked our country through legal trickery and too much wealth and outright villainy to hurt as many as they can, some people who've been against guns think getting guns may be *the* solution. No. It is only *one* solution of many. Knowing how they work and to take them apart and using them for hunting for food can help.

Best advice I had from the best boss I ever had was: Save everything. Every email, every letter, every post k-it note. Never volunteer for anything. Make sure your job is spelled out and nothing gets quietly added (got monumentally screwed on the last part when they refused to fill back necessary full time positions).

A post-it note signed by the person who was trying to get me into trouble for doing what they specifically asked me to do worked wonders.

I am not interested in replies to this. Post on your own account if you have issues with this.

In my own lifetime, the horrible decisions that messed up what could have been a good run of decades:

Ford pardoning Nixon.

Carter's warnings in that speech ignored.

Reagan ripping the solar panels off the white house.

Reagan destroying unions, starting with the union of air traffic controllers.

My spouse and her groups are all moving to Bsky. Couldn't get them to understand Mastodon or the fediverse and everyone they know jumped to bluesky because it seemed more familiar and most people they already knew were on it. There doesn't seem to be an equivalent to the "marketplace" there though, one of the main things they use it for.

Mid-1990s internet website, a carpenter I knew looked for dark wood for his furniture. He was very surprised to not get lumber related results.

Last century, I remember when IMDB just took all the movie loving user generated data and became a for profit company. I was very worried about that happening to OpenStreetMap when they introduced the database license so stopped contributing. Glad it hasn't happened yet. Hope it won't.

@justafrog @blogdiva

We couldn't sell our house to a retired military couple because they have no credit. Because they've always paid cash for everything. That makes no sense to me.

Comedy Horror I like.

1940s "Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein"

Can't remember any from the 1950s to the 1970s.

1980s the best are "Ghostbusters", & "Gremlins" with "Gremlins 2"

1990s had "Scream" which was really funny & somehow gets treated like a "normal" horror movie now

2000s "Shaun of the Dead"

2010s "The Babysitter" & "The Babysitter: Killer Queen". "Happy Death Day" & "Happy Death Day 2U"

2020s "Bodies3", "Renfield" & "Totally Killer"

I am reading about #StarTrekDay on my mobile smart phone which evolved from the first cell phones which came from the first prototype that was inspired by the original series of Star Trek.

Many things to admire and aspire to in this fictional series.

Don't tell me stories and the humanities and social sciences aren't important.

Now past the DS9 "Bell Riots" dates, let's avoid the worldwide physically destructive parts, ok?

"I use my psychoses for good, not evil."

- quoting myself from about 2005.

Get rid of every law that says mandatory use of bicycle lanes and bicycle paths. I have seen too many debris filled paths and glass filled lanes. Enforcement always says they're usable.

Make all paths and lanes connected with safety features at intersections when they're built, not after "right hook" deaths.

Apply presumed liability to faster and larger vehicles.

Make roads and paths a choice instead of either/or.

Don't forget the problem is misuse of cars and trucks.

#BikeTooter

Seeing lots of articles about how "young people can't pay for seniors retirements".

The ones they PAID INTO, you sadistic jerks?!

And the all the articles about "Return to the office is needed, no one wants to work anymore."

Try being in your 50s to 80s, then try to get a job. Ageism is real.

It ain't because older people don't want to work, they don't want to be abused.

There's a reason unions are finally coming back against the lies told about so many of them

HOW THIS SHOULD HAVE READ:

A Minneapolis police officer shot a rubber bullet into freelance photojournalist Linda Tirado's eye, leading to loss of use of that eye and brain damage causing her to slowly die and have to enter hospice care. She is the recipient of the National Press Club's 2020 domestic John Aubuchon Press Freedom Award.

While the gas tanks looked odd, the size of the submarine was large enough to stave off most predators with its camouflage. The side viewport provided great views of the deep, navigation handled deftly through the front "eyes".

The funding had come through multiple Venture Capitalists. Certainly not shell companies and disguised charities. The VCs often deserved their disappointment.

The attack was soon. They believed their ancestors Nemo would be proud.

@Yukari Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World.

I know some of his later works are better in some ways, but this was the first one I read and it stuck with me.
