Offline some occupations also have a duty to report.

If someone buys large amounts of a certain fertilizer and the store owner don’t recall them being a local farmer. And it has to be that type specifically and not one of the other fertilizer types recommended. Its considered a red flag, and i think in such cases its fair

Thats no excuse for how little police respects privacy online at all. But you can see how its the same idea recycled.

There is a big difference between someone printing a gun and building an actual bomb.

You're probably talking about ammonium nitrate specifically. And once you've made your explosive with it, you still need to make something to detonate it, since it's pretty stable without that; it's not like sweating dynamite.

ANFO was used to blow up the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City, so the feds take that pretty seriously.

Why people hating on this? I guess the not psyop was very effective.

This is a peer-to-peer platform that uses Monero as its currency in order to protect financial privacy. It also has a non-custodial escrow system so that both buyer and seller are sure the money is actually there.

Glad I can help improving the circular economy is something that needs to be talked about.

Yo thats cool would be nice if this could operate in a federated manner. Would give it the robustness to withstand the alphabet bois.

There was at one point a couple of years ago a system called Open Bazaar which I think could be forked and brought back to life that could do something like this.

Dude I pray everyday that someone will re open it. Such an amazing technology that was extremely under appreciated

They kind of made all the wrong mistakes though. First of all, it was just too early for decentralized markets to really take off. Second of all, it was after the Bitcoin block size wars and they chose Bitcoin anyway, and third, they used venture capital funding. I think if somebody redid it with Monero and community funding instead of venture capital, it might actually work.

My neighbor cop is friends with the persons that owns the Amazon and FedEx local delivery companies.

Because of that friendship and me calling him a fascist they open my deliveries all the time for him.

When I accused him of it he told me to prove it.

Fucking fascists.

[–] BobGnarley@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

You have to act chill in front of them or they can ruin your life.

Get together with like minded individuals and call them the fascist piece of shit pigs they are. But don't do it to their face or they will hunt you like prey.

“One more step…”

Nothing like a privacy abusing Cloudflare site to expose privacy abuse. If anyone has openly accessible Cloudflare-free links, or can post the info for the excluded people, plz post.

Privacy is not a crime.

We all need to stop saying things like it shouldn't be a crime, it ISNT a crime and shouldn't have to be defended or proven as a right to have.

This shit is supposed be illegal for them to do like this. I guess until they passed the PATRIOT act or some other "love Americas children first" act bullshit they do.

Good luck with that, most smart people are going to go to different stores likely in different towns wearing camera obscuring clothes and buy prepaid gift cards with cash

Then make purchases on sites that don't require financial information and probably pay some buddies or associates to act as parcel receival addresses to then forward to them

Could even pay associates or friends to go and buy the prepaid gift cards for you
