What could the gob. do?

I would provide an app to manage the certificate for you, since most people won’t know how.

And I would regularly update the app to keep it current and secure. ( I might occasionally add features to make sure I… You have the best experience. )

And I would have some very discrete, anonymous and minimal telemetry - just to help me maintain the app.

If I happen to know how to pair that telemetry with other tracking data that I purchase form other sources…maybe I can engage in a tiny bit of strategic blackmail…and well…you shouldn’t elect me.

Baseball: Strictly timed innings.

The Savanna Bananas added a game timer, and it is great.

Also stilts.

Go meat grinder capitalism!

I thought the font choice was odd, but I have to admit the team shirts we got are actually surprisingly comfortable.

The important thing, if I’m the government, is that this helps me round up and eliminate my political enemies, based on their online activity.

This can be done securely and privately to prevent this. I recommend this approach, to start.

Then after a few months, I can change the implementation to eliminate the privacy.

Then, when I’m ready, I can start blackmailing or arresting folks for their pornography preferences.

Or - if I’m feeling confident - I can keep it simple and just have my secret police throw folks out of third story windows anytime they post anything critical of my governing style.

Overall, if I want to abuse the Internet to hold onto my power using blackmail, terror and murder, online age verification is a great first step, for me.

Folks probably shouldn’t elect me, but they may want to consider that I’m not the only one who knows how to do this.

I quit the others when Facebook started to hold my friend’s messages hostage their invasive mobile app. I figured they only wanted the app installed so they could spy on me. I was right.

My life partner and I both considered it critical that our beliefs were strongly compatible.

We’ve been together for decades.

Our beliefs have changed substantially, and certainly not identically.

We’re still together. There’s so many more important things.

I don’t need more time wasting sites, so I do limit myself to Lemmy. Yes.

As someone who saw the Legend of Zelda cartoon… There’s a lot to unpack here. It might explain some things.
