btw, on old POTS lines, your call is connected way way before anyone ever picks up. The audio can be recorded basically the instant the number is dialed. We used to do this at an old customer service training facility.
We’d hear people beating their wives in the background, screaming at their kids, etc. It was bad.
My family and I are devout followers of the Satanic Temple (Not really ‘Satanists’ per-se however); and while yes - I know there are some problematic issues with the leadership, they still use what they are doing in a hilarious way to troll our government when they create christian-centered laws. A lot of what they stand for mirrors my own personal moral code before I ever discovered them. The freedom to offend, is just as important as the freedom of bodily autonomy. Without it, it’s impossible to push for changes.
