Yes. Agree on both points. It's important to keep a clear distinction between police and military. And if Police need to be very heavily armed then other problems in society are causing that and need to be addressed.
And for sports/hunting/photography, there is as you say, other kinds of camo.

Yes. If people are in active service sure. It's a uniform. There's a few other situations where people wear it for an activity.
But even then I feel like it should be a little shocking. In the same way seeing heavily armed police is a little shocking.

I’m not really interested in another browser. Safari already has a lot of security and privacy tools. I want a better search engine.

Exactly. "I have something to say and I want to make it seem like a thing people are talking about."

Not sure I ever watched a full episode. But I tuned in about 3-4 times. Couldn't believe something so bad could be so popular.

Or anywhere else I lived, Tokyo, London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Delhi. I miss the cafe edit sessions.

I discovered this show because it was always trending on Twitter when I would visit Australia. The first time I tuned in I remember thinking "what the hell is this asinine junk" or something like that. The feeling never went away on repeat viewing.

Cafes aren't open in the afternoons. If I were to take my words to a cafe it's usually to edit or plan and those are things I do in the early to mid afternoon.

I expected to do this a lot when I moved to Melbourne. I never did.

We need a word for when people make universal claims for things that only apply to the US.

I laughed a lot. At tech. At the culture I've participated in. At myself at times. It's quite well written.

Future-proof and portable are the key features of both Obsidian and Bluesky for me.

I feel like it's OK to dislike those interactions. It's a big ask. And they won't be around again in the future.

OK, cool. I've not been online very much in the past few weeks.

Bleak and odd in a beautiful way. One of my favourite films of the early 2010s.
