OF THE
TIMES
"No. How you been, my nigga?"I suppose this will require an attached camera.
Alert alert. Violation! Police notified and hellfire drone incoming!
... I lived some American dreamscape (not some 50s Leave It To Beaver type world, but a level of freedom ...Well, I wouldn't say my childhood was bleak, or "horrific". Technical capabilities (for government spying) were limited, so we were mostly left alone in our backwater village. At least us kids. Doors were only locked at night, nobody had really any worthy treasures to protect.
(I know you like bows, but were there any small arms that you enjoyed using? I'm particularly thinking a Dragunov.)No, just the run-off-the-mill AK-47 copy, in standard 7.62mm. The border troups were intended less against armed attackers from the outside, but more against unarmed fugitives from the inside. So, heavier equipment only for the hypothetical mobilization case.
Did your time in the army play a role in what you do now?Definitely.
'Extremely bothersome alarms last approximately two minutes, after which Themis turns off, allowing an open, understanding discussion among people on the possible trigger matter and the potential reasons behind Themis's activation'.
Comment: One would hope that the Themis is a network-ready device, so the authorities can be alerted any time offensive speech is detected. An annoying 2-minute alarm isn't really a sufficient penalty for the egregious crime of wrong speech. After all, self-policing isn't as effective as actual policing.
