Food for thought. This is a reaction against: 1. The overly-broad application of the First Amendment to conservative SCOTUS decisions giving corporations 1A rights. 2. The financial success of propaganda corporations such as Fox News, and t

This has been my experience, especially given the predominance of governments that are to some degree controlled by fundamentalist sects. It goes against the unspoken orthodoxy of what feminism is, though, so I do not expect your opinion to

My title is “stupid fat piece of shit that doesn’t deserve to be loved.” I’ve tried the others, the positive ones. They don’t stick. “Liar” just gets added to the mix, and the original, positive title quickly fades away. I don’t really like

Not OP, but I suspect this is a simple combination of AR and precise device location awareness. The former comes in the form of ARKit. I’m not aware of a framework for locating devices, but it wouldn’t surprise me if there were one.
