If you're in the US, the supreme court has said repeatedly we have no expectation of privacy in public. Anyone can operate as the press and the first amendment locks in their right specifically to film in publicly accessible places, and also to record government employees in the course of their duties based on current constitutioal law. It's good for filming cops from a short distance away, but if you physically get in their way they can arrest you. And resisting detainment or arrest can apparently get you shot.
The flip side is yeah anyone can be recording you at any time in public. We can make laws to restrict that but the burden to pass constitutional scrutiny is high. Because of that, I'm not allowed to film into your home from outside, that was deemed an acceptable exception. If I could get the restrictions I'd like to see, it would be dismantling the surveillance state they've put up with Flock cameras etc. The government isn't allowed to surveil citizens without a court order, so they simply contracted it out to private companies.
That would result in tons of arrests, probably some death. There is absolutely not agreement that what they're doing is illegal. A third of the country voted for this and wilon the election.
We'll see. I wish Lemmy had a remind me function. Trump was happy enough with what he heard that he backed off of the tariffs for now. If Denmark actually had the ability to defend it, the US wouldn't be going after it but the world is better off with it in the hands of the US than China or Russia. Denmark's history and current state don't give anyone much confidence though. They haven't been good for the people of Greenland either. The cost of living is outrageous and they forced the indigenous peoples into the little cities.
A week later and there is already potentially a deal in the works for this to happen. Like I said, no fighting. The US purchased Alaska not that long ago, my father was alive. There are other ways to change country lines than war. I have an antique globe with many differences from today, and changes will continue to happen. Canada might look different soon too. It seems like Alberta is ready to walk away, and there might be other Canadian states as well.
Still seems dumb. There's never going to be a battle over Greenland, at least not again. The last time in WWII Denmark folded to the Germans like a house of cards, the US took it so the Germans wouldn't have it, and then later the US gave it back to Denmark. It sounds like a deal for it to return to the US is already in the works.
Honestly the coop play on Lego PC games is pretty good if you can get over them being cartooney. You have lots to pick from too, so maybe your partner has movies they're a fan of that are represented in Lego games.
You know you can just stop using it. I'm stuck with having a fb because of my job but I never answer messenger more quickly than a week later and I always include that I don't use messenger in my response. You don't have to control your friends' actions.
Also, many progressive cities are literally surrounded by conservative suburbs and rural areas. It wouldn't be difficult to cut the cities off from food supplies.
90% of the US has none of that. Nothing walkable. No trains. No buses. No sidewalks. I've lived in places with transportation pretty decent, but the only option where I live currently is cars. We are generations away from what you're describing. Making cars more expensive isn't accelerating the development of alternatives, it's only making people suffer and more and more angry.
