there are some spiritualities (Indigenous matriarchal ones for example) that believe women possess intuition like a 6th sense that men aren't able to tap into. And that it can be honed with practice.

I have pretty powerful intuition, always have since I was a kid. I started doing tarot readings when I was little for fun, and they ended up really scarily accurate. It's all intuition based, the way I read them. I freaked out several family members- aunts uncles, mom, grandma with my readings to the point where they were made uncomfortable. I've predicted severe illness, infidelity, and minor issues too with my card readings. I get told a lot that my tarot readings aren't any fun because I don't sugarcoat bad things. In fact I think I have more of an ability to predict bad things than good.

I am also really good at reading people, which I usually pass off as being a perk of being a wallflower, but I can even guess people's first names when I've never seen them before sometimes. Sometimes I even get such a powerful feeling that a person or animal's name is 'wrong' somehow to the point where I have a hard time using the name they give me. Like, one time I was riding a trail horse with a name like Red or something, but I could not stop calling her Daisy- in my mind, when I was petting her or riding her. It was really weird. Probably sounds retarded but I wonder if it's some kind of weird intuition or something.

At this point I always listen to my intuition. If I get a bad feeling about something. My husband believes I have very strong intuition as well, and always listens to me if I decide to cancel a plan or leave something early because it's never steered us wrong. I think it's the closest thing to a religious belief I practice- if I get a gut feeling about something I don't do it, or if someone gives me bad vibes I gtfo.

few examples off the top of my head:
- when i was 16 I crashed my car going 80 into a telephone pole and the tree line in a ditch, with my mom in the passenger seat. she only came out with cuts from the glass, I didn’t have a scratch.
- some dumb friend of mine was getting catfished and subsequently extorted, and basically made a deal to “sell me” to them since he knew i was well off in exchange for being left alone. instantly knew something was up with the girl that hmu. few days later he attempts suicide and she’s arrested for something completely unrelated.
- i was in a bad place in high scPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>Due to its convenience and remarkable accuracy, face recognition technology [1] has been applied in a few interactive intelligent applications such as checking-in and mobile payment. However, existing face recognition systems are vulnerable to presentation attacks (PAs) ranging from print, replay, makeup, 3D-mask, etc. Therefore, both academia and industry have paid extensive attention to developing face anti-spoofing (FAS) technology for securing the face recognition system. As illustrated in Fig. 1, FAS (namely ‘face presentation attack detection’ or ‘face liveness detection’) is an active research topic in computer vision and has received an increasing number of publications in recent years.

>Amid concerns about crime and public safety, at least two major U.S. cities recently considered banning ski masks or balaclavas to prevent criminal behavior, despite a lack of academic research about the effectiveness of such bans.

I don't know if fellow lainons have gone out recently, but I've noticed any time I go to a big box store the entrance and exits are covered with cameras connected to a blaring large screen TV facing the customers with green and yellow boxes following he figure and face of each customers they scurry about their day. Not only this, often times there's hardly any human clerks available to check you out when you want to make a purchase, often times forcing you to use the self check out with the cameras recording your face’s every move from a fish eye lens 2 feet away from your face.
No one cares.
You will often be followed around or outright refused service if you walk in with something that covers all of your face effectively enough to not be data mined.
There’s makeup and clear masks that can obfuscate your face without looking like you’re going to rob the place but both domestic and foreign megacorps and academia are actively working to beat these known methods.

only disadvantage is if you live outside a city, and even then it's still worth the exercise.

What do you ride and what are you working on?

Upon scanning the catalog I noticed that, while there is a little bit of discussion of lockpicking and physical security bypasses, there is not much talk in securing your identity as you traverse meatspace, so I have brought to you a slew of questions and propositions relating to exactly that.

The main goals of this thread are:
- Especially, to determine the most cost-effective, stealthy means of exterminating threats to your physical anonymity. This can range anywhere from the humble sling and slingshot, to spraypaint, to paintball and BB and water guns, to plastic bags and tape, to ropes and blunt objects, or even to cheap lasers or computer cracking.
- To determine the most efficient way to move from point A to point B while remaining unseen for a contiguous stretch of at least 20% of the journey. This is focused mainly on distances of less than a kilometer.
- To determine how to best conceal the originating point of your route in highly surveilled locations. This may involve wearing draped clothing like a cloak, dipping in and out of backyards, entering a crowded spot from a surveilled point and exiting at a less surveilled point, or just taking as long and roundabout of a route as possible to make it difficult to follow you back in time- etc.

Let us use the United States as a prime example of the prominence of surveillance cameras.
According to this article from The Verge[0], there is one camera for every 4,6 people in the United States, amounting to 70.000.000 cameras.
There are 330.000.000 people in the USA, of which ~270.000.000 have 15+ years of age. If as many as 1 in every 500 of those people were displeased enough to destroy those cameras, each one would have to destroy 207 cameras in order to eliminate them all. While this does not seem infeasible (a fun weekend project, at most), given that the French managed to rile up enough people to destroy 60% of all speed cameras in their country with ease[1], it is likely that the ratio of annoyed citizens to panopticon devices is much more fortunate than 1/500.

If any movement towards a systematic destruction of the surveillance state is to be accomplished, there is one barrier remaining- widespread knowledge of proper OPSEC and effective stragies.

That is to say, when an individual comes to the conclusion that they ought to do something about this problem, they are forced to individually think through the details of moving about the world withoPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

In our increasingly dystopia, and with a looming economic depression plus creeping environmental disaster, working to secure your own individual self sufficiency is pretty. This is a thread about that.
