Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

i know at least 30 people that look exactly like that

I know this guy. The American flag isn't fooling me. This guy is a member of the Bri*ish royal family. Trump, sir, please nuke Buckingham Palace before these radical woke leftoonies strike again!

[–] MaghrebiLenin@hexbear.net 16 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

But surely the royal family would know this might happen and would flee London? Better nuke all of Britain just to be safe.

I know this girl, she used to duel with me and took all my labubus. Turns out she was a shapeshifting alien who did it because she wanted to get her child a birthday gift. I heard she had wasted all her money on slot machines 😔

thin tall odd limb torso ratio awkward gait eyes hidden appears near events of political significance

spoilerthat's a grey man posad

I recall the last time an award was offered to rat out an assassin the money was not paid.

Hard to pay the undisclosed facial recognition software at the McDonald's self-order kiosk

Just remember they won't ever pay out. If you think you've seen him - no ya didn't!

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 45 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

I almost forgot they stiffed the McDonald's employee that dimed on Luigi. Maybe that'll come back to bite them now.

Pretty sure I saw this guy at a rage against the machine concert at Foxboro stadium in 2000, when they played with the beastie boys. I hope that helps.

[–] grandepequeno@hexbear.net 75 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

That photo of luigi also seemed like it wouldn't give him away at all, I suspect it didn't, I suspect the FBI's capacity through track someone through their phone and find out where they were is larger than we think

[–] darkcalling@hexbear.net 56 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Assuming Luigi is the adjuster. They 100% used illegal NSA surveillance techniques and parallel construction to get him. The phone call never happened, the backpack and other stuff was all planted.

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 10 points 10 hours ago

This, one-hundred-million percent. It's been basically the only logical arguement since the day they picked him up and started leaking all sorts of contradictory nonsense.

[–] calidris@hexbear.net 50 points 16 hours ago

If they had half a brain, they wouldn't carry a phone doing something like this.

[–] CrawlMarks@hexbear.net 43 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

They have drones and satellites they routinely fly over large cities. Used to be they could track cars and by extention people. I would be surprised if they don't have mostly accurate maps of here any given person is at any given time.

[–] darkcalling@hexbear.net 14 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

They don't need satellites. They have Automated License Plate Recognition Systems by evil companies like flock that have laughably dystopian stated goals like "creating a crime free world" by tracking every vehicle everywhere and creating a national searchable database of ping points that they passed. And they're expanding wildly, explosively year over year in the number of these they have deployed.

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 6 points 10 hours ago

Even just looking at what's available in the commercial sector, the dystopian tracking tech is wild. 3D reconstruction modelling of precise movement, number of people in a room, and pathtracing precise to the foot (way better than GPS) just based on disruption to WiFi signals in a room or area alone. No phone or connected device actually on you needed.

The limitation is computational cost and the amount of time and effort needed to focus on it. But you better believe that the NSA for example can do this sort of thing with a specific target and a starting point with good conditions for it to work.

If this is the dude then why isn't he carrying a rifle or a bag that would fit a rifle?

[–] booty@hexbear.net 43 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 2 points 6 hours ago

I'd never be able to track him without seeing his big beautiful eyebrows like the Adjuster

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 28 points 15 hours ago

I know this guy. He used to show up with that same backpack, only back then it was full of candy necklaces and baby bottle pops to sell to the rave kids. Everyone just called him Chancey.

[–] BadTakesHaver@hexbear.net 65 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

definitely a Chud. why wouldn't they wear a mask

[–] NeelixBiederman@hexbear.net 117 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Wearing a mask in Utah draws more scrutiny than open carrying a rifle

Just call the cops on any generic white dude you see within 12 hours driving of Salt Lake City.

[–] moss_icon@hexbear.net 51 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

That could literally be anyone
