Why do that and risk actually losing, when you can go after the small guy and send a message to the plebs?

It’s an accurate snapshot of the American executive branch right now

Don't sell us short, it's also an accurate snapshot of the legislative and judicial branches, as well as about 30% of the general population!

Because it's a lot easier to discredit a religious argument when the sermon cites "4th Thessalossians 67:B" and gives the most generic sounding paragraph with the one weirdly specific phrase they instructed the bot to include and em—dash thrown in for good measure.

At least if they all use the same manual, it's easier to pull over the ones who are on the fence.

I don't have a perfect memory but I do have a good one, and I can confirm that the pastor at my parents church when I was growing up re-used sermons from multiple years prior.

So at least some recycle. As expected, they are still just as (ir)relevant.

That solar panel looks useful.

Since I have never gone out in nondescript black clothing at night to destroy these things, I can't say from firsthand knowledge....

But yes, yes they are. They make great trickle chargers for large batteries that only get used intermittently. Or string several together and enjoy an ebike battery charger. I have a similarly sized and shaped panel I found somewhere that I use to charge my 18650 bank.

A couple flock cameras near my town keep getting taken out and put back up.

The latest blurry security camera footage to catch the culprit has led to sweet FA since they ride a nondescript dark color mountain bike, wear all black clothing without logos or text, and seem to avoid riding their bike unmasked near businesses with cameras and houses that might have door cameras.

I don't even think they know gender/skin/hair color. Anything other than "average human height" really.

Anyway, shout out to everyone who destroys one of these things. It's illegal, but it's the morally correct thing to do.

Take it from me, you don't want to go down the "eugenics" road...

I really don’t like ice. It’s cold, slippery and wet.

And it gets everywhere.

Just like the shitty US fascist police...

Even if I did, too late you greedy bigots.

You can agree that something is disgusting on a fundamental level while still feeling nothing..

I find the constant suffering of others to be heartbreaking, but I don't actually go around feeling heartbroken all the time.

Being desensitized by things I've seen on the interwebs over the years has dulled any reaction I might have, but I an still understand, articulate, and sympathize with those feelings.

But it also does the dishes without using as much water as you do.

The sad truth is a lot of religious people believe that the end times won't come unless the earth isn't livable anymore.

A even LARGER group of religious simply think their sky person will give them a new earth that's perfect so why bother protecting this one.

They and their supporters are complicit in the murder of the planet at best, and are trashing everything on purpose, trying to claw back any and every support of things that can make it a better place.
