This is beyond dystopian.

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

I went to In-N-Out and ordered a cheeseburger. The cashier, a calm young woman named Destiny, asked me a question I did not expect.

"You want that Animal Style?"

I paused.

I did not know what this meant. But a samurai does not admit he does not know. So I answered with weight.

"...Animal Style."

"Cool. So that's mustard-grilled, extra spread, grilled onions, pickles. Yeah?"

I understood now. This was a sacred permission. For one meal, I was being told to put down my manners at the door. To eat the way a beast eats, without shame. I had waited my whole life for someone to give me this order.

"Yes," I said. "I will become the animal."

Destiny did not blink. "...Okay. You want your fries Animal Style too?"

I stopped. Even the potatoes?

"The potatoes also become animals?"

"I mean, they get cheese and sauce and grilled onions, so..."

"Then yes. Let the potatoes abandon their restraint as well."

"...Got it." She was the calmest woman I have ever met. "3x3, 4x4, or just the one?"

I did not know these numbers, but I knew a challenge when I heard one. "How many must I face?"

"It's, like, how many patties you want."

"How many is the most honorable?"

"...Four is a lot."

"Then four. A warrior does not ask for fewer."

She wrote it down without argument. A 4x4, Animal Style, with animal fries. She warned me once, kindly. "That's gonna be huge." I told her I was counting on it.

It arrived. It was a tower. Cheese and sauce ran down my hands the moment I lifted it. There was no clean way to eat it. There was no dignified way. That was the entire point.

I ate it like a beast. Both hands, no honor, grilled onion on my chin, and I have to be honest with you, it was the best thing I have ever put in my mouth.

For thirty years I have kept my manners at every table in the world.

They handed me a burger and told me to be an animal, and I have never felt so free.

So tell me, America.

The whole country knows the secret menu. What else are you hiding in plain sight?

And "Animal Style." Was I eating the animal, or finally becoming one?

@For_Macragge Not that specific colour, but I can say that Colourforge sprays are pretty reliable and give a good quality finish from the several I have used

[Cypher @Cyphertheory]

@CMValrak stop, stop, he's already dead (bye 10th!)

[Cypher @Cyphertheory]

@PolitlcsUK No one gives a shit what Ed Davey says - literally irrelevant

[Cypher @Cyphertheory]

@Dark_Fantastic Can I ask what paints were used for the red earth? it is really vibrant, looks great!

[Cypher @Cyphertheory]

@For_Macragge don't accept that - you pay premium prices for these models and that is so sub-par

[Cypher @Cyphertheory]

@Sargon_of_Akkad so... are they racists now? or does that come later? I am confused on the general stance around flags indicating racism now - any advice greatly welcome

[No to Digital ID @NoToDigitalID]

🚨 We’ve launched our campaign against Digital ID cards – a Blairite plan.

We say NO to:
• Privacy & surveillance
• Hacking
• Threat to freedom & civil liberties
• Excluding older generations
• Function creep

Freedom lost = freedom gone. RT & share! 🔀

[Cypher @Cyphertheory]

@10DowningStreet @darrenpjones Yeah... no.

[Warspite 🇬🇧 @ChiefPieEater]

I see ID cards are back. Many years ago, I had the inenvious task of being one of the architects of one part of last attempt in the 2000s - Enrolling the population. I felt physically sick going into work, and left the company soon after. A wise choice considering what transpired years later.

This is what I know. First, enrolling the population. How? Bank records, not everyone has an account, Tax, the same, NI, how about Children? DVLA... Passport data. So, it will need legislation and none of this IT 'talks' to each other either. ££££ in cost.

So, it will rely on self-attestation, this will mean that criminals can apply for a fake ID (and illegal migrants). Flaw 1.

What happens if someone steals your ID? How do you prove that you are you? This is 'non-repudiation'. The data I have covered, so what makes you unique? Fingerprints and DNA. There is a slight problem, that's the domain of law enforcement, criminals and suspects. It is not to prove who you are. So, want a secure system, it will hand over your fingerprint. For what purpose? Flaw 2.

Flaw 1 and 2 now make it an incredible target for Cybercrime. This is the same Civil Service that sent the details of 26m workers and their children's details through the post and lost it. Flaw 3.

Flaw 4, data accuracy, no database is 100% accurate. Even it was the most accurate in the world (99.9999%), the details of tens of thousands would be wrong, back to Flaw 2.

These are the major reasons. There are others.

Most European countries have ID cards, they have not halted fraud, theft, and terrorism. If anything, they provide a false security. Why? The terrorists had ID cards. Bataclan, Charlie Hebdo, Nice...

Last, most European countries have a stricter interpretation of GDPR, their privacy is better guarded.

Can we trust our Government not to misuse it? We get locked up for spicy tweets.

It is a wholly false premise, a lie, deeply dystopian, and fortunately for us, it would take years to complete the work.

It is HERE there is the uncomfortable truth. The current passport system is the old ID Card system from the late 2000s. Guess what? Migrants get a form of ID card from that system already.

Why do the Government need a new ID card? It ain't for stopping boats.

Thanks for reading.

[Cypher @Cyphertheory]

@PolitlcsUK @PoliticsJOE_UK ok 🤷‍♂️

[Cypher @Cyphertheory]

@MPSHarlesden £240 fine and 80 hours community service no doubt - I feel bad for officers having to deal with this level of personal danger with the incredibly weak judicial outcomes - you guys deserve better

[Cypher @Cyphertheory]

@DiscussingFilm Who cares!

[Cypher @Cyphertheory]

@Mp_miniatures These are superb, nicely done

[Cypher @Cyphertheory]

@Pompeyboyblues @PolitlcsUK @guardian well played

[Cypher @Cyphertheory]
