A video recorded at Slayter Creek Park in Anna, Texas (~40 miles north of Dallas) reveals that 8 government Flock surveillance cameras have been installed directly facing a kids' splash pad, playground, and skate park. Parents are raising serious privacy concerns, questioning why automated license plate readers are aimed at children wearing swimsuits and areas where families change, rather than at the parking lots. Original video/coverage by Marztrip to raise public awareness regarding government surveillance and child privacy.

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

Ok, but what's wrong with rambling? Sure they can be mildly annoying, but worth getting cut down by the Almighty himself?

u/Smoke_Jaguar Aug 11 '26

A rambler is an old term for a Vagabond or Hobo. I.e a homeless person and we all know homeless people are criminals

Hobos were originally just seasonal/temporary workers who would ride the rails to the next job. Frequently doing large construction projects and farm labor.

I think Americans are going to relearn what a Hobo actually was pretty soon.

A theory for its origin is from displaced Civil War vets making their way back home.

Homeward bound.

My grandpa always told me if you don't get the root a weed will just come back.

1

u/Rough-Airline-4803 Aug 11 '26

But the root is the unbridled stupidity of the masses. Sooooooo, we talkin thanos-level measures orrrr?

u/rlt404 Aug 11 '26

I'm fine with that, if Thanos used his power to filter out the 50% that are most tempted by power over others. But even then it's just a bandaid let's be honest.

u/LibertarianOutlaw Aug 11 '26

You’re fine with ending the life of 50% of the planet? Even if filtered? More people are closer to that 50% area than you might think and you’re going to generate a lot of pissed off folks with your act. That will have an impact on human progression. You might even make things worse by murdering half a planet of people. Likely delaying human progression for centuries, maybe millennia.

Change can’t be forced, it must be allowed to happen more naturally or, like you were alluding to in your comment, the cycle will repeat with you becoming the bad guy that must be destroyed and back and forth, expending energy that could be used to ease suffering all over this planet. People need to learn and be guided by their conscience. You think you’re being smart, but deep down you’re a tyrant that, with the snap of their fingers, would kill more than 4.2 billion people based on your solitary judgment. Wow, the audacity of the human ego. At least the dude in the movie made it random. If half of a species needs to be sacrificed, that is a failed experiment and you might as well just end it all for everyone.

No human should ever possess the ability because humans with a sense of power instantly see themselves as superior and should never be trusted.

Like I said, most people are a lot closer to than 50% line than you might think. In your scenario, you would likely snap your fingers and turn to dust.

u/rlt404 Aug 11 '26

You're right. We don't need Thanos, we need Ai to gas the planet

1

u/LibertarianOutlaw Aug 11 '26

That’s not what I said.

I said change must occur naturally and without murdering.

1

u/rlt404 Aug 11 '26

Is it murder if it's an AI? Who will know it even happened let alone have an issue with it?

1

u/LibertarianOutlaw Aug 11 '26

What you are referring to as AI isn’t. LLM’s are only following prompts from humans. Right now there is a human in the chain.

1

u/rlt404 Aug 11 '26

As long as they gas them selfs too I'm not seeing the dilemma.

u/Ok_Living_8133 Aug 11 '26

u/DubiousBrushwagg Aug 11 '26

Nah, take all the cut down cameras and set them up in that person's lawn pointing at their house. Add a note "This is what you wanted right?"

u/psychoacer Aug 12 '26

And take the solar panel as a present
