Weird, I'm in Tasmania and I've been seeing an unusual amount of people with coats and two suitcases, trying to get on the busses. (It's summer here). But also, there are hot springs, here. Look up Hastings caves.
My grandson has taken multiple of my phones for a bath, they all said waterproof. Guess why I said multiple phones. Well, some he broke by smashing them.
Fun times!
Problem with the waterproof rating with phones is they heat up, or overheat, one day and bam, no more waterproofing. I definitely wouldn't recommend pushing it.
Also, and huge chunk of people get their political ideology from 1% propaganda producing factories like a current affair, and such. They have always believed "the news" are rusted on in whatever the billionaire owners tell them to believe. If a progressive policy is attempted, the propaganda machine just runs some rage bait article to emotionally manipulate those rusted in cult viewers, and bam, too much pressure, days later they'll withdraw the policy. Hence the hostile take over of tiktok, it had and used the ability to bypass this propaganda machine.
This guy is atrociously evil. Broken clock can be right twice a day, and all that. He's probably only saying anything because he's cornered the market on something that will make him more money, though, too.
It's a cult, it's literally using cult trapping tactics, that's why people are so delusional. Knowing that, might help in how you approach, should you choose to try.
Look after yourself, too. It's all a lot to take on, and they want everyone stuck in fight or flight, because it literally shuts down your critical thinking. The most empowering thing to do, right now, is beat their game against you, and find ways to bring yourself down out of fight or flight, after seeing the stuff going on, because your fight or flight can't tell the difference between being there and watching a video. Complete the stress cycle after you see this stuff, hum, sing, dance or go for a walk, are some options.
Find ways to decompress. Maybe it's going to get hard, having good strategies to help yourself cope, and learning tools and techniques to undo the damage seeing this does, is going to make this an easier ride. We can beat them. They know that. They are scared of us. We will get through this.
I can play quite a few. High proficiency at saxophone and clarinet. But i can pick up almost anything and do something with it. I can play a lot of stuff by ear, so lock me in a room for a day with almost any instrument I'd have a decent ability with it and a few songs for you.
That's one of those things I'd do if I won the lotto, buy as many instruments as I could and build a music room, and recording studio, invite local bands and kids to record there for free.
I gave birth to my middle baby, my eldest was 13 at the time. It's one of my favourite years. Simpler time. We were still going to video stores to pick out movies and internet wasn't much of a muchness yet.
There's a monthly discount? I'm in an area where there's no alternatives to the duopoly of evil, and I have kids with disabilities so I literally can't get in store to shop. I'm not going to be able to avoid this. I'm annoyed.
All I do is make a list of my chosen products, in the apps, and shop the ones that are on special, only, and buy multiples to last while those products aren't on special, I make a list, because then I just skip past everything, go straight to a simple list of everything I need. Having the list eliminates impulse buying, and has halved my grocery bill. I'm too susceptible to the mind tricks they employ to sell more to you than you need, if i go in, I'll spend $100, every time.
On top of the suggestions to use baseball caps, medical face masks, big sunglasses or infrared blocking sunglasses, (while suggesting all the other anti surveillance stuff goes obsolete too quickly), I bet old school sweat bands would work a treat, added in the mix, too. You could pull them over your eye brows, even, or ears. Or headbands pulled down. If you just have to obscure enough of your face, with coverings, to reduce a match, as suggested.
Thanks, I needed that.
