In Germany, dozens of people are in 'preventive detention' because they might otherwise engage in climate protests

In the German state of Bavaria, dozens of people are in 'preventive detention' because they might otherwise engage in climate protests, specifically around the car industry exposition IAA in Munich. Apparently possible for a month there... https://www.zeit.de/gesellschaft/zeitgeschehen/2023-09/letz...

PRE-CRIME, JUST LIKE IN THE SCI-FI TREATS

EDIT: is leaking again; apparently even emojis can get pulled over by the Pedantry Police. 🚔 🚓

  this some kind of deep fried 10k times folded turbo meming that wouldn't even be allowed on the autobahn.
- What does this have to do with "I have no mouth and i must scream"?
  
  I can't remember any "pre-crime" in it. Just an AI torturing people for his amusement.
  
  I know.
  
  I was just stretching the application of the emoji to summarize bad futuristic outcomes because there isn't a Minority Report related emoji yet.
  
  You can't just use any random emoji you want, that doesn't make any sense.

  I've used it for well over a year.
  
  You are the very first person to ever complain about how I used it.
  
  Fair enough. I don't believe it is a very popular story so that might be the reason.
  
  Why is there even an Emoji for the book? Does it come up that often on hexchat?

  It was popular enough for me to have known about it before I saw the emoji.

  Because the Hexbear creator of emojis decided it'd be fun to add it, and it was almost immediately used to summarize bleak and terrible future outcomes, especially in reference to this moment mocking the tendency of tech billionaires to miss the point of the fiction they consume and make announcements about how they want to make the bad things in such fiction come true:

  Odd, but alright then. Maybe it makes more sense the the "emoji" renders properly.
  
  Have you read the story? If not, do it. It's pretty great and only around 40 min long.
  
  Harlan Ellison made an audiobook version I listened to, while also reading it at the same time: https://youtu.be/dgo-As552hY
  
  You can also borrow the book for free here: https://archive.org/details/ihavenomouthimus0000harl
  
  Or just get it for free in many other places.
  
  Edit: oh and what is stormfront? Edit 2: the "I have no mouth..." game is also pretty great and was given away for free on GOG a while back so you might already have it, if you keep track of those things. That game is inspired by the book but it is mainly it's own story.
  
  I read it years ago. The computer game version had AM voiced by the author himself.

  That's just a little jab at Reddit itself for its cryptofascist leanings. The emoji that Hexbear marks as "Reddit" uses the text of Reddit's old Stormfront community, which was itself a nazi hangout until it was mod-raided to become a weather forecast community, but the name's meaning persisted.
  
  Thanks for explaining and reminding me of the book. I should re-read it.

  It's just weird to use "emojis" like that. Maybe it makes sense on hexchat but not so much elsewhere.
