As long as you ensure a US based entity is spying on you with it, and not a China based entity, then no.

So the NSA, FBI and CIA are thanking China for assisting in their efforts, right?

They can want it all they want. I don't give a fuck. It's shameful that the DEMOCRAT PARTY is giving them what they want, that's not on me.

I care about what I want.

I want my President, the President representing the party I used to affiliate with, to not be a genocidal maniac who expands spying on his citizens. Who doesn't restrict their free speech under the guise of national security when it is clear that it is all about money. Who does ANYTHING to combat homelessness, outrageously priced increasingly unattainable healthcare, skyrocketing inflation, the death of direct home ownership instead of just going "Everything is fine. Bidenomics. Catchy, huh?"

I could keep going on.

Biden is a shitbag human being unfit for the office. And I can count on my fingers with plenty left to spare how many Democrat politicians as a whole aren't just as bad or worse.

Again, it is not on me that the Democrat party disenfranchised me and became a fascist carbon copy of early 2000s Republicans that I can not in good conscience cast a vote for. That is on the Democrat party.

I refuse to reward the Democrat parties absolutely abhorrent behavior over the past 2 years with a vote.

I read the title of this post in the voice of Beerus.

What's a band that has one album that is just about perfect in your opinion, but rest of their discography misses the mark with you? in c/[email protected]

Forget the third Zombie brother, the lead singer for The Union Underground, whose only kinda good song is basically about how stupid the audience is and just make him a millionaire already...

To go into a bit more detail for what my actual knowledge is:

Tonight the Stars Revolt!: Ever loving masterpiece
Transform: Little more mindless, still really really good
Somewhere on the Other Side of Nowhere: I really like about half the album, most Powerman fans dont
Copies Clones & Replicants: Uh oh... absolutely trash cover album?...?? Where did that come from?
Builders of the Future: They've lost their identity, they have lost their vibe... still liked 2 of the songs. Overall a let down.
New Wave: Absolute utter trash. All of it. Never gave any of the songs a second listen. Actually actively avoided them.
The Noble Rot: One song I REALLY like, a couple I can stand to listen to if Youtube puts it up automatically, the rest just pretty bad.

Rob is definitely the OG Zombie. He just has more raw visceral roaring power in his energy. Spider One is, well, he is the dude from the video for When Worlds Collide (part of the absolute masterpiece collection that came with Tonight the Stars Revolt).

I would also say, moderately recently, I saw Allegoria, and I much prefer Spider One's B horror movie vision over Rob's "look at my wife" movie style. In fact, I would be pretty confident saying that Spider One's musical career trajectory and Rob's horror movie trajectory are VERY similar.
