It's advertised as something like a Chinese version Cirque de Soleil, but it's actually propaganda from a far-right cult that claims they're being persecuted because people just won't stop being gay, or listening to women, or believing in evolution or using modern medicine... Not even joking.

Funny enough, they offered me the tote from the comic to sign up for their subscription.

The show is heavily advertised on the subway.

Yeah, do you know anyone that’s been? I sure don’t.

How does airdrop works? Can you not, keep it off and only activate it when you actually need it? I've never in my life wanted to receive a random file from a random anonymous stranger in public (grindr not withstanding).

It used to be that you could leave airdrop on for everyone at all times.

Then China wanted to crack down on dissidents so Apple changed it to “Everyone… but one for 15 minutes”. Apparently it then made it’s way to ALL iPhones so now you can’t have any airdrop fun anymore.

That doesn't sound like fun it sounds like massive privacy violation and surveillance tool.

That's why I asked. If it can be turned off, why wouldn't you?

Because I liked playing the random meme airdrop game. 99% of the time being in the receiving end.

On a more serious note, it allows people to freely transfer information between each other in a method that can’t be controlled by a firewall / government / etc.
