"Reclaim the Net" story about UK police using all those cameras to track "suspicious driver journeys". Presumably to detect drug traffickers and similar crimes.

Any tips for improving color fidelity when #printing using #cups on #Linux? I use a #Brother printer (of course), and usually only print B&W, but I have a need to print color flyers and my greens look blue. I don't expect perfect output on this (my model isn't made for that), but I expect better than this.
Yes, my Yellow ink is on the low side, but it hasn't run out.

Please #boost !

As time passes I keep realizing how incredibly thankful I am that #heaven isn't real because it is the most terrifying thing I can imagine, to be #brainwashed into worshiping a #deity for the rest of time while I know that #people are being sent to #hell for all of eternity especially if it's someone I care about and there's nothing I can do about it and I just have to be okay with that? Like thank fuck I don't have to actually worry about that

King Solomon and the Ant

(I will tell the story of King Solomon and the ant. I've read a lot of versions of this story and this is my own based on what I know about ants.)

King Solomon continued his journey flying over a vast desert on his flying carpet. Below him his army marched in neat rows. He could see for miles from the great height. "This is magnificent." he thought.

And because he could understand the speech of the animals he heard the birds agree.

Solomon told his soldiers to walk with more care and let the queen go back to her people.

As he looked down from his flying carpet after at the tiny rows of his own men after that he found that he had much to contemplate.

He might be magnificent, but on whose palm did he rest? Would any of his works or achievements be anything if not for nature and the world made by God?

The End.

Commentary:

In reality ant queens don't lead their people much at all. But, I don't think the story works unless Solomon encounters a tiny version of himself.

I do think ant queens feel immense responsibly to lay eggs. And all ants think they are doing the most important project in the world. The scale of the adversaries only proves this more.

myrmepropagandist reshared this.

I think it's so #funny when you say you hate #Christianity and #people come for you like "just let people believe what they want to!" Like y'all know the whole point of Christianity is to NOT let people have their own #beliefs and to try to #convert everyone to their #religion. Like it's so funny y'all are like "live and let live" when the entire basis of Christianity is to be in everyone's business

“I would never worship a god who would send someone to an eternal lake of fire to be burned forever for the simple fact of non-belief, when that deity knows exactly what it would take, to convince every single person on this planet. That is cruel, that is inhumane, it is not kind, it is not generous, and that is not a god worthy of worship.”

Tucker Carlson & Matt Gaetz:

40 minutes in Matt names the individual who demanded money from his father for getting rid of "naughty pictures". If you watch RAV you will recognize him.
