@alice Oh, I have, my friend. I *have*.

[tock@corteximplant.com]

@alice I typed the text in during an edit. (It takes me longer as my left thumb has a fused knuckle, so I post first and fill it in after.)

[starkrg@myside-yourside.net]

@alice Who? And what did they do? (note: this is a legitimate question, I really am that out of the loop, and it's truly sad this needs to be said)

[tock@corteximplant.com]

@alice Don't feel bad. I forgot once and called him Charlie Brown when I could remember Black Hat and Megan spot on.

[teflontrout@beige.party]

@StarkRG @alice boosted because I wasn't aware either

[ljrk@todon.eu]

@StarkRG @alice Yeah, I only know Alice, Deviant and LPL, didn't know the latter is committed to be on that side of history

[anyia@lgbtqia.space]

@alice oh no, I was not aware of those affiliations

[arcticedge@furry.engineer]

@alice Huh. I'd always wondered if there was another reason you switched away from recommending CI as babby's first pick set. That would certainly be a good reason!

[starkrg@myside-yourside.net]

@alice Ahh, that makes sense, actually. Thanks for letting me know. Yeah, the thin blue line bullshit is a huge red flag despite, you know, having a distinct lack of red in it.

[dany@hsnl.social]

@alice @StarkRG awwww really, LPL too? That sucks, I like his content.

[lerxst@az.social]

@alice @StarkRG wellll, shit. I bought some shit from them last year. Never again. It’s disappointing but I’m better off knowing. Thanks for the knowledge bomb!

[waldi@chaos.social]

@alice Why did I read "licking"?

[shine@gts.churanova.eu]

@alice @StarkRG oh. I had a bad feeling about them for quite some time, there were some bad vibes from the way LPL talked about his wife a few times, then McNally who's another Covert Instruments person and his videos are a bit too edgy in a creepy way... Didn't exactly expect them to be pro Trump though. Thanks for saying that

[koalou@lgbtqia.space]

@alice
Oh! That's why you don't like him

[thasl@social.tchncs.de]

@alice ah crap, I didn't know that. But sure enough, Thin Blue Line in the logo, that is one hell of a dog whistle there.
Luckily we got @deviantollam and https://www.redteamtools.com/.
Hopefully the Learn About Lockpicking Set is back in stock soon, all the #learnlockpickingwithalice has got me hyped again

[dany@hsnl.social]

@thasl @alice @deviantollam oh yes Red Team Tools, I still think the colour options on the deadbolt safety strap are *chef's kiss*.

[kekunplazas@mamot.fr]

@alice TIL, thanks.

[endlessmason@hachyderm.io]

@shine @alice @StarkRG
You mean the April fools videos?

[endlessmason@hachyderm.io]

@Dany @thasl @alice @deviantollam
"Pastel", for cis reasons

[ainmosni@social.ainmosni.eu]

@alice @StarkRG Is there any more to this, or is it just the line? Not that I don't believe you, but I'd like more ammo to persuade others..
