You can get an older gen iPhone for like $200

Absolutely no one is doing that you fucking idiot.

Yeah, you stupid poors, just get a really shitty phone that doesn't work, and will absolutely break within two months, and doesn't support any of the apps you need to access medical care, banking or employment, instead of buying a slightly more expensive refurbished iPhone. It's just basic economics

Makes me mad literally every time

The only gay men who are against marriage equality are the ones who know that they're so unlikable that no one will ever date them long enough to want to marry them.

If you buy potato chips that have less salt they charge you more.

If you buy cereal with less sugar they charge you more.

Organic food costs more.

Any attempt to become a healthier shopper costs you more.

You get penalized.

Patterns and fractals.

The abject refusal of establishment Dems to even deign to listen to their base is wildly frustrating.

The thing Jeffries forgets is that voters choose the party’s future. Not him, not Chuck, not Nancy. They are blocking the door from so many good scrappers who the voters very much want. Fuck off.

There’s no opt-out, no warrant requirement, and almost no oversight. In a nation built on personal freedom, the idea that the government can identify, track, and store your data simply by pointing a phone at your face should alarm everyone citizens and non-citizens alike.

and even logs GPS coordinates of where the scan occurred. ICE has provided almost no details about how errors are handled or whether individuals are notified of false matches, and there’s no clear policy limiting who can access or share that data once it’s collected.

What makes this especially alarming is the system’s reach and permanence. Mobile Fortify is capable of storing facial images and fingerprint scans for up to 15 years, regardless of a person’s immigration or citizenship status. Each scan can pull up personal data (photo, date of birth, nationality)

deep inside the country. If the algorithm flags someone as “not a U.S. citizen,” agents can override traditional proof of citizenship, even something as official as a birth certificate, in favor of whatever the system reports. And those scanned have no right to refuse, including U.S. citizens.

the first amendment now only applies to slurs against minorities. you cannot make fun of fascists, white people or trump.
