There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.
I'm paranoid enough to think there is AI assimilating all our online accounts to get a full picture of who we are and what we are doing. Sending alerts to certain agencies when thresholds are met. Truck forum here. Car forum there. Gun forum. Email. Yeah, they are getting a complete picture and may know more about us than we do. I'm on a list. Probably several.
I'm more concerned about the alcoholic drug abusing transplanted Californian neighbor that's always in his yard with a revolver stuffed in his pants than I am the people watching me.
I have said on here several times in the past on different threads that when it comes to government, I’m definitely a little paranoid. Now can you look at the Bribem administration and what they have done since taking office and tell me my fear is unfounded?😀 For crying out loud, this government is at war with its own citizens, and supporting illegal aliens over the people who grew up here! Give me a logical reason for the things that are happening. Either the government has taken on a life of it’s own and fears it’s own citizens, or we’re all Just paranoid and crazy.
