Sounds like that “bug” was actually a feature and Naomi just pissed off some government surveillance spooks by breaking their toys. God help her.

By the way, her girlfriend is part of an ethnic group that the Chinese government is currently genociding.

And you thought the USA was a bad place to live…

And you thought the USA was a bad place.

I can think that both are bad places to different degrees for different reasons. Particularly when some would like for the US to become more like that.

Indeed, and as a citizen of the US, that terrifies me.
