If such a tool like this is going to exist it should only be accessible on the local network, unless that's already the case and someone gained access to Twitters LAN but I find that highly unlikely.

zoid Link ParentSpeaking entirely hypothetically you'd want someone from another country managing the tweets. At the very least you'd want to use a laptop running tails from a public wireless AP.Speaking entirely hypothetically you'd want someone from another country managing the tweets.

EDIT: Update, they shutdown their SMS features, interesting. I could be wrong, but I wonder if someone else had the same idea that I did.

When I say it fascinates me, I meant that literally, not to disparage said group(s). What I meant and what I said are quite obviously two separate things and for that I apologize.
Those that support defunding the police that I’ve talked to personally in my local community also are in favor of Authoritarian Socialism. I did not mean to imply that anyone that supports defunding the police are in anyway related to specific socioeconomic policies or political parties.

zoid Link ParentWhat fascinates me most about the "defund the police" crowd is that they're the same people that want Authoritarian Socialism. How do they intend to enforce their ideologies upon the people...What fascinates me most about the "defund the police" crowd is that they're the same people that want Authoritarian Socialism. How do they intend to enforce their ideologies upon the people without the very agencies tasked with handling such tasks?

Contributing with a lack of contribution

Does anyone else struggle contributing to communities? Maybe I'm being overly critical of myself, but it seems like I have nothing to offer up other than comments.
I'm completely happy commenting on posts, and I feel like I do so in good faith. It just feels like if I'm not contributing actual content I'm benefiting from the community without contributing to it. Am I being overly critical? Am I looking at this all wrong?
*EDIT Spelling correction.

I also noticed political cliques forming, and due to my political views I attempt to avoid politics outside of Facebook like the plague.
I haven't really been back in a few months.
I'm not, I have no education or knowledge on stock market investing; which is something I should remedy very quickly.
