    Shitty time travelers and their stormtrooper aim.

    Somebody definitely fucked up the timeline and they send these untrained time-travellers to try and fix it (and failed miserably).

    Now we get Black Mirror robot dogs.

        T.E.L.L? Did you watch Travelers? I think thats the only place where I heard that term. Man, I loved that show, a shame they cancelled it.

        Maybe they only managed to send two time-travellers before they got raided by the gestapo. 🤷‍♂️

        Welp now we get to be in a dystopian movie

        not even just a movie, we got a whole series with possibly multiple seasons

        I have a feeling I’m one of the side characters that’s gonna get killed soon.

    But despite their many impressive features, the devices can be taken down.

    “You just have to spray it with Aqua Net hairspray in its ‘face’,” Cummings said. “And that would be enough to stop the cameras from working correctly.”

    FYI

      Definitely don’t Google “2K spray paint” because it’s impossible to remove and you can seriously damage surveillance devices with it, like cameras and stuff I dunno

      Lol why is Aqua Net hairspray specifically the thing that takes them down? Like other brands of hairspray don’t work? Spray paint or Elmer’s glue or maple syrup aren’t effective? You can’t just throw a bedsheet over them or hit them with a crowbar?

    Isn’t this a perfect foreign adversary opportunity for spying on U.S. political figures?

    Just integrate your own robot dog, or compromise an existing one. And surveillance away.

              Russia may enjoy how the chips landed. But the wound is entirely self inflicted. 50 years since the US govt gave up all pretense of giving a fuck about anyone worth less than 8 figures. Stagnant wages. The opposition to Republican bullshit is center-right plutocrats with their heads so far up their own asses they cocked up a 2nd layup election against an insane serial criminal reality TV host by running to the right. Best we can do on Healthcare is fucking Romneycare. And the idea of opposing a for real no shit in living color full 3d genocide is met with cries of antisemitism and being told to get over it.

      Foreign adversaries already had Trump installed. Why would they need to go through extra work.

    Because they’re eating the dogs, the people that stay there, they’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live around there, and this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame.

      When Q-Anon speads baseless pedophile ring accusations it’s ridiculed but apparently doing the exact same thing for their side is fair game. Great display of double standards yet again.

          I don’t think that calling someone a pedophile is any more convincing than calling them a nazi. If anything, that’ll just make them dig their heels deeper.

                  I don’t think it’s that they don’t listen to anyone. People generally are open to hear different views as long as it’s done in good faith rather that in the form of accusations. Nobody wants to hear from someone who openly treats them as second class citizens. If you treat them with dignity and are open to hear their views as well you’re far more likely to get them to reflect on their own views too. Daryl Davis is a good example of this.

        Trump is appointing a pedo to be Attorney General.

        Trump is a pedo.

        One is a lie is based on projection and the other is pointing out that pedos are pedos.
