If you connect to the wrong tower, can't they get IMEI info? That won't include OS, but it will give phone model/mfr and other details. I remember reading about regional police forces or intelligence agencies gathering data in North America at least (and they were explicitly gathering personal & usage data too, to see if they could find criminals supposedly).

4 facts about quick cats, I think

Seems when both parties in a 2 party-dominated system have unpopular candidates, the horse race ends up being purely about who turns off their base the least. Not who they impress or win over, but just how many votes one doesn't lose and the other does.

Romaine says you'd better keep sewage runoff out of its water supply, if you know what's good for you.

"Cool" is from before the time of probably any of us on here-- the 1930s! It's possible its usage might have slightly shifted over time (?) but that one just doesn't go away.

Meanwhile expressions like "radical," "bad," "on fleek" (ugh) didn't last long.

If they were just verbally protesting their presence and not committing assaulting I'd understand as there are legit reasons for Jewish people not to like Christian Zionism.... but the Israeli state finds them politically convenient I guess, so of course they let it fly. 🙄

To be fair, the pope condemned Israel's actions in Gaza as well. Fundamentalist evangelical Christian Zionists have more financial and media power than others though, I imagine, and many others are just plain silent.

I've also been concerned about negative outcomes for people based on the videos I've heard about and the one I saw posted before, but that's what makes them so brave. The more they do it and the more such videos are normalized, the less harsh companies can be in retaliation.

Management being assholes is not as much a generational thing (at least, not as much as it seems) as the nature of what corporations expect of managers. The few amazing managers who somehow remain human while doing their job, who are good mentors, etc., are outliers.

All I did was point out facts and perspectives you seem to have missed. I thought we were having a constructive conversation in good faith, and was giving you the benefit of the doubt. I'm sorry to see that wasn't the case.
