    are any of us still worried about being on a watchlist at this point? I just go about my day assuming I'm on all of them because I probably am

      I wonder if I have to file a FOIA to see if I'm on the No-Fly list yet, or if there's just a website I can plug my name into to find out

        It doesn’t even have to be you to be on the no fly list, just someone with your same name.

        I knew an airline captain who would get detained by customs everytime they returned from flying to Mexico for being in the no fly list.

      I always wave to the black helicopters that fly overhead, its just neighborly, and polite.

        They're homonyms. The racist term and the anti-government term look and sound the same, but they have no relation to one another. It's pretty easy to tell which one is being used through context.

        I've heard people use geists. Apparently it's a more accurate translation anyway

            I misspoke when I called it a more accurate translation- as far as I understand, geist was the original term, though I haven't read Stirner in the original German so I can't confirm that for myself.

            "Spook" is an older translation that just seemed to stick for some reason- a more modern translation might be something like "ghost", but honestly I think geist will work fine on its own.
