The US is huge — you can’t jam everything everywhere. Talking about just cities, you still can’t jam everything everywhere.

But yes, targeted suppression/oppression (depending on your allegiance) will almost certainly use jamming — in fact, I’ve spoken with some Antifa about how they jam EMS frequencies at their events.

Why would anti-fascists jam EMS frequencies?

Isn't that what no LLM can provide: being free of hallucinations?

For the record, brains are also not free of hallucinations.

I made this switch years ago and love it. I also strongly recommend Marvis Pro, a fantastic app for navigating your Apple Music collection on iOS.

When incidents like this happen, it gives credence to North Korean propaganda portraying the US as an imperialist aggressor.

The US is pretty clearly an imperialist aggressor? Latin America is littered with the bodies of those who didn't conform to US economic dictates.

WTF is this? How do they make money? They have picture of 10+ people as a "team", on their help page

https://help.partiful.com/hc/en-us/articles/26526557943067-H...

it just says "We offer party add-ons and merch on our online store!"

Their online store has like 2 tshirts, stickers, sun glasses and a bag?!

VC for now, offer ticketing with a fee later.

My social group also uses Partiful. It works great, but it's a little worrying that it's so useful while being free: I can't see how this possibly could make money, so I assume the enshittification is coming any second now.
kyletns · a year ago
Literally they just need to add ticketing with a small fee. They are sitting on a huge revenue stream they just haven't need to roll out yet.

They'll say it's for national defense against other countries, but it's only a matter of time before these weapons and surveillance tools will be deployed on American citizens. Foucault's boomerang.
kyletns commented on Polyamory doesn't liberate; monogamy doesn't protect   carsonogenic.substack.com... · Posted by u/apsec112

There is one issue that I have with this article and most discussions around polyamory. That is mixing in open relationships and poly. There is a massive difference between, you can do whatever sexually you want and dating other people. There is an emotional difference.

Myself, I am in an open relationship but I know that what I consider poly is a line I do not wish to cross. I know that just it is not for me. I don't consider myself poly. (To be very clear, this is not a judgement on being poly. I have several poly friends. I just don't know why we group all of them together)

Mixing these has made having discussions with some people more difficult. So I am not really sure why we are grouping all... non traditional relationship structures into poly.

That all aside. I find whenever this topic comes up to be quite interesting. I don't live in SF but I am a gay man. I know very few gay couples that are not at least "door ajar" as I have heard a few explain it. I have had a few people ask me why I am open, and honestly I don't like that question. To me the better question is, "why not?". And you may have a valid reason, maybe you are a very jealous person, maybe you just don't want too and thats perfectly valid.

But to me this boils down the problem isn't monogamy, being open, poly, or however you want to define your relationship (or lack of one). The problem is the assumption of monogamy. Not ever having that discussion, and honestly having the discussion without jumping to doing something because you think it's the way you are supposed too.

I do find some of the numbers presented here to be interesting, particularly the divide between men and woman. But I honestly can't really speak on that since I don't really have much exposure to this world outside of the LGBT world.

Def agree that consensual non-monogamy (CNM) != polyamory, and there's a loottt of confusion out there around that distinction (and in this article and this HN thread, too).

I might be poly for the right people at the right time, but I'm not currently. However, I'm definitely CNM for life because all I want is to talk it out!

Well, that, and occasionally hook up with other people

See, you can say that but if it's treated as a one time thing and actually stays a one time thing, then probably the two people in the couple aren't going to go around calling their relationship "non-monogamous"
kyletns · a year ago
Doesn't really matter what they call it - that's non-monogamy (edit: or cheating)
