Warning, this is going to be a wall of text but I'll keep it as lean as possible.

What do you think, will a relationship work if the man is the technical one, uses Arch Linux OS on his device, a custom ROM on his mobile device instead of Android (that is if it's not a flip phone), encrypted his devices and data and uses strong passwords, decentralizes everything, that he uses, that he can decentralize (avoids the know your customer central exchanges such as Binance and uses something like Electrum instead), avoids using those tech giants services (especially Google and Microsoft and their email services and instead either uses something like Proton, Tuta or self-hosts his own and private Email provider) and staying off from social media (meaning he has no account on there to begin with) and resists mass surveillance and privacy violating things and trying as much to stay under the radar whenever possible and avoids using Whatsapp and instead uses Signal, the messaging app, that Edward Snowden has endorsed while his girlfriend/wife/woman is a stark contrast to it: She is avid on social media, posting regularly about many things including her private life and activities and very openly stating her personal opinions in such public places, consuming content on Tik Tok and Instagram and the likes, uses either Windows 10 or 11 or MacOS with Apple devices, has an iPhone, uses Apple products and services, maybe uses a Google account with google services like Gmail, hides nothing, has a weak if any password, uses privacy violating mainstream apps like Whatsapp and doesn't really mind the cuckware, that came preinstalled with her devices.

(This has got to be the longest sentence I have written)

Can such a relationship work or even prosper?

In my experience even just not being on social media has yielded me reactions from people, that can be described as me wearing an aluminum hat. Or those weird questions like "Who/what/why are you hiding?" like i'd tell ya, you fkn idiot

First, MOST public employees are entirely ignorant of the law. It's basic freedom of the press & you have ZERO right to privacy in public spaces. Cops especially , given their ego, control & violence pathology, THINK they know the law.

If you're not familiar with 1st amendment auditors, here is a few links to get an idea what they do:

1st Amendment auditors are people who film in public to test the government's fidelity to law. They are part of a political movement that advocates for 1st Amendment rights, which include the right to record public officials & employees on public property.

How they operate
1st Amendment auditors typically enter public property, film, & ask questions without identifying themselves.

What they're testing for
They are testing to see if public officials will respect their First Amendment rights.

ACLU advice on what to do:
If a govt employee encounters an auditor, you can try to have commonly requested documents ready to limit the time of the encounter. You can also refer the auditor to a FOIA officer to request records.

The U. S. Supreme Court has recognized a "paramount public interest in a free flow of information to the people concerning public officials." Other federal courts have found that the 1st Amendment freedoms of the press & speech protect the right to film in public spaces with one stating "A citizen's right to film government officials, including law enforcement officers, in the discharge of their duties in a public space is a basic, vital, and well-established liberty safeguarded by the First Amendment."

My 2¢: EVERYONE should know their rights. Period. Most people's interaction with LEOs is traffic stops. PLEASE print this guide for what to do if you are pulled over. It's essential.

The PDB is the "President's Daily Briefing" and is given to presidential candidates as a pragmatic courtesy in order that they can be prepared when and if they assume the office.

Recall that Trump is still facing multiple felony accounts for secretly taking, denying, lying, obfuscating and not securing top secret documents. Despite this potential security risk, Biden has continued to extend this courtesy to Trump. Previously, it had been reported that he refused to read it and Jared kushner, his son-in-law, read it religiously and in insecure locations.

Regarding the actual law and felonies alleged to being committed, essentially, the Logan Act states that private citizens cannot conduct their own diplomacy. The FARA Act (Foreign Agents Registration Act) requires “foreign agents” to register with the Attorney General. It applies broadly to anyone who acts on behalf of a “foreign principal” to influence U. S. policy or public opinion.

However, Bob Woodwards new book reports:

"Former U. S. President Donald Trump secretly spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin as many as seven times after he left office, The New York Times (NYT) reported.

According to Woodward's latest book "War," the two might have spoken a half-dozen other times after Trump left the White House in 2020, the unnamed aide claimed.

Putin and Trump allegedly spoke even as Trump was reportedly pressuring Republicans to block the $60 billion aid package for Kyiv.

The book also reports for the first time that Trump, while still in office early during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, secretly sent Mr. Putin what were then rare Abbott Point of Care test machines for the Russian’s personal use."

What do you think? Should he lose his courtesy access to the POTUS Daily Briefing until this is resolved? Should these allegations be investigated by Congress or special counsel?

Recently, protesters at several European airports have disrupted airport operations.

The picture shows protesters at Heathrow Airport outside London being stopped. Protesters at Frankfort Germany cut through security fences and glued themselves to teh runway, forcing a 2-hour shutdown of the airport. Other similar protests were made in Norway, Austria, Switzerland, Spain and Finland.

The current law in most countries results in a fine for these actions, though several countries are now (thinking of) passing laws involving jail time for such protests that interfere with public safety.

This would be a well-thought-out creative romantic idea by a man in his vision of how he would want to propose to his girl, aka his fiancé and future wife. This once-in-a-lifetime man falls in love with a woman who he feels is perfect for him to spend his whole life with, and the woman herself is loyal, faithful, and loves him with all her heart and wants to spend eternity of sacred love with him. So he makes it his plan that appears to be fantasy but becomes reality with his engagement idea to how he does it but kept a secret to do it after months of planning.

Do y’all think this would be one of the greatest proposals ever, or do you think it’s a bit lazy and chessy?

Ladies, do you value a man who has a certain effort and idea to make the most memorable and special engagement ever for both of you to express his profound love for you in a different form of how he wants to propose to you than the typical public proposal?

Guys, your opinions too to share
