Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection.
So forgive me if I smell a rat.

I wanted it to be real!
It's not real. Ironically, it's an AI generated post for engagement. The clowns in the story are made up. The real people who fell for what an AI invented are everyone in this thread who had their preconceptions confirmed and jumped on it without checking if it was true.
Fuckin A this is the best news I've seen in a bit
Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

You can pay it money, as a subscription, and that's one of the services it offers. This doesn't happen by mistake or because you've tricked or hacked the system.
It’s a feature.

When heavy military equipment is taken from its original context and placed in the hands of a domestic law-enforcement agency with little training in wartime scenarios, it becomes nothing more than an instrument of intimidation. It simply has no other purpose. Wearing jungle camouflage in an urban setting, pointing guns at civilians, driving around pointlessly in an armored personnel carrier — all of these egregiously violate military best practices. This is playing soldier dress-up to scare the pants off the locals — except the guns are real. Notice also how many of these riot cops have their faces completely covered by gas masks and insect goggles. That is almost never seen in recent wars, because covering the face makes a soldier look less human, which is directly at odds with modern counterinsurgency thinking. But covering the face to dehumanize the enemy is a common feature in first-person shooter games (like Half Life 2 and the Killzone series), where the player often has to slaughter them by the score. Doing it to oneself is, I think, a deliberate effort to broaden the emotional distance between law enforcement and the people who are being forced into submission. It turns out that when you put normal cops into soldier gear, you don't get soldiers. You get paramilitary goons.

a wall adapter with a tiny little usb c port on an otherwise large adapter
another large wall adapter with a single lonely usb c port
this one's smaller but there's still pretty big difference
this one looks about average in the size differential between the usb c port and the size of the wall adapter
reshare if you agree wall adapters with a single USB C port have a surface area differential ratio that looks weird
