What are some Movies/TV shows that you initially didn't like (and perhaps even quit watching), but then end up liking it? in c/[email protected]

When I read the premise, I was instantly hooked, on the plot not characters, but eventually characters too. Never even turned it away. I was dealing with an existential crisis at the time and that why I loved it.

I mean, go ahead, arrest all democratic governors. More supporting evidence for asylum claims.

Maybe California would finally become a republic, and perhaps become the new "beacon of freedom" (well it was better than the last "beacon of freedom" anyways)

Invade? More like form a union. The Germany-Italy type.

So... my phone was out of battery, so I pulled out my power bank and connected the cable to my phone, but then I was feeling like I'm connecting two parts of an explosive device, I instinctively said, loudly:

"BOMB PLANTED"

Now the entire plane is staring at me like I'm some sort of criminal.

For me:

-The Expanse - The beginning was confusing AF and the politics didn't make sense and seemed boring, so I quit. But then eventually after like a year or two, went to reddit and it was recommended again, so I just read some light spoilers and that helped me got through the first season. And then it has been an intriguing and thrilling journey.

Why boycott if I can just pirate it?

I get to enjoy it and they don't make any profit from it.

Heck, I'll seed it and cost them even more profit. πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈπŸ˜Ž

Their oppressors didn't have tanks.

Our oppressors do.

There's no way out.

Unless...

Anyone down to steal a tank?

The migrant caravan ate the spy balloon then flew past the border checkpoints with the ingested helium. And then transformed into Haitian, of course. Then crash landed in the Suez Canal and blocked it.

"If its on the internet, it's out there forever" is simultaneously true and false... (sh.itjust.works)
 

If the government is willing to spend the effort to investigate, they'll find that deleted comment you posted 10 years ago criticizing the government.

But if you want to find your lost files after your cloud account gets suspended for vague "ToS Violations", I hope you have a backup, because good luck trying to get the cloud provider to send you a copy of your files.

It might be out there, but not for you.

Unless you convince a government to try and get it for you. πŸ€”

How exactly are people supposed to "be honest" with their therapist, when they type their notes into a computer system? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Especially considering the fact that your country's politics could change in the future.

Going on an honest rant against the regime seems very dangerous.

This question is common throughout the internet, but I'd like to see Lemmy's response.

The country you end up in would be random, you don't get to pick.

This is a carrier in the USA (T-Mobile).

I did a quick search for the other 2 carriers using the term "[Carrier Name] Family Tracking" and Verizon and AT&T also seems to have it.

And according to https://www.t-mobile.com/support/plans-features/t-mobile-familywhere-app, it says:

FamilyWhere uses geolocation data from the T-Mobile network and is not affected by changes to device location settings.

So it appears that its using cell tower triangulation. Turning on Airplane Mode should stop it (assuming there isn't a separate tracking app on your phone)

Oh Wow, What a wonderful tool for abusive spouses and abusive parents. And telecom companies are making money off of it. πŸ™ƒ

TLDR: Its a good idea to get your own separate cellular plan.
