Can't believe it’s already June . Time flies when you work everyday of your fucking life

@muheediva01 And it worsens when you continue to receive rejections, even if you’re more than qualified. If you’re even lucky to get a response. I mean seriously, wtf is their problem? I gotta spend all this time and energy applying and you can’t even send me a no? Fuck you!

Virginians slaughtered and an entire family - kids included - burned alive because a Chinese immigrant who can’t read or speak English was given a CDL by NY and keys to a moving death bus

@ThrillaRilla369 Had a particular meme stuck in my head. Turns out my buddy had DM’d it to me on IG a day before and I hadn’t seen it yet. Also, I had randomly thought about a giveaway I put in for and realized I never heard back from the company. Guess who sent an advert email that evening?

@Shane_DNRSports Unfortunate. The sport I grew up watching no longer exists.

One man’s story about working at Sears in the 1990s has sparked a wave of debate online about how much the economy has changed since then.

Mercer missing the field is bad for college baseball.

If a mid-major can win 44 games, finish top 30 in RPI, rank among the national leaders in homers and still miss, what exactly is the path supposed to be outside the power conferences?

So let me get this straight, it was revealed that the United States ruling class is full of child torturing pedophiles and the reaction of the American people wasn’t to immediately revolt, but to vote out Thomas Massie who helped expose the scandal

America is cooked 💀

Fun fact: Pizza has scored a touchdown in Bridgeforth Stadium more recently than Richmond Football has.

[The Get Back Coach @TheGBCoach]

Richmond has some of the best helmets in College Football.

Why is every single town in America getting a data center, nothing has ever expanded this quickly in American history with no public approval! Something isn’t quite right.

Maybe you wonder why I, a mere gun blog, makes a big deal about Flock and similar tech?

OK here’s a real world situation that can easily happen and has likely happened.

Unfortunately to drive on public roads without getting hassled by the cops, your car needs a license plate. That’s tied to you, the owner of the vehicle.

Flock isn’t just a traffic camera, it’s an AI/ML enabled (wait for it) flock of cameras that transmit all their video and audio to the mothership. Not a government server somewhere but, to keep it simple, a big giant cloud computer instance owned and run by Flock, the company.

Government users, as well as Flock employees here in the US and overseas, can log in and query the system based on license plate number or even vehicle description and get a full history of that vehicle’s movements throughout the Flock network over multiple jurisdictions. Someone in New York can track a car from Armonk all the way to Homestead FL if they feel like it from the comfort of their desk.

On a daily level, someone can get a pretty accurate picture of someone’s life just by monitoring their movements via Flock. And I’m using this example to rattle the cage of the “back the blue unconditionally” crowd in 2A.

OK - your car has license plate ABC 123 - and Flock knows this. Someone can enter your tag in Flock and see what you are doing on a daily basis. You leave your home where the neighborhood is under the Flock panopticon. Flock sees you drive to Dunkin’ on Main Street, then you drop your kid off at XYZ Daycare. Then you go to work at the local IT consulting firm in ZZZ industrial park. You go pick up a quick deli sandwich for lunch at Food Lion. You go back to work. On the way home you stop off at Bob’s Guns, and stay for 20 minutes while buying some ammo. Then you go home. Everywhere there’s a Flock camera.

Now Flock knows the following about you:

- You live at 123 Wisteria Lane
- Your kid is in daycare (means he’s likely under 5)
- You work at ZZZ
- You go cheap on lunch
- You own at least one gun

Your license plate is tied to you so they now have your name and assumed-to-be-private details of your life, like that you are armed.

On the reverse of that, the Flock camera outside of Bob’s Guns has been recording the plates of everyone going into the parking lot. No need for a firearms registry when Flock is doing the work.

All of this is done without a warrant and the data is available to anyone with a certain level of access to the system, whether it’s a cop, or a Flock technician in the Philippines. FYI Flock uses overseas contractors for support and AI annotation.

The 2018 Carpenter decision at SCOTUS ruled that pervasive surveillance where one can divine private details of someone’s life is a 4th Amendment violation in absence of a specific warrant.

Flock is illegal, unconstitutional and immoral.

And a danger to everyone, not just gun owners.

Fuck your data centers

@underdogdynasty I must be crazy then!

Having 5 interviews for a 55k job seems excessive no?

@JMU_GoDukes Can we at least get the helmet sticker back?
